A DOJ lawyer argued in an appeals court case that Trump has the authority to demolish the Statue of Liberty if he wanted to.

And Congress wouldn’t lift a fucking finger to stop him. :face_with_steam_from_nose:

From Rep Mike Levin,

ā€œThis is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.

More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.

And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.

Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.

The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.ā€

This should be a golden age for investigative journalism with all of the crap going on that’s just begging for this generation’s Woodward and Bernstein to dig into it. Instead, bastions of great investigative journalism, like the Washington Post and 60 Minutes, have been neutered by oligarchs who have taken them over.

We have a Trump Mafia at the helm. Any cursory glance at Trump’s well documented endless streams of public appearances should lead any rational person to determine he would do anything for self-aggrandizement, money, power and attention. This is not a recent development…though he has become more ā€œoff the wardā€ of late…

He’s just going to go more batshit crazy if the Democrats take the House back. If they take the Senate as well…we’ll be in shithouse rat crazy territory…

I’m hoping that if the Dems take back Congress in the midterms they can put the brakes on much of Trump’s lawlessness. Their biggest weapon is their power of the purse–they can withhold the money Trump needs to commit his atrocities.

for the last year, every day I’ve played, What New Hell Have I Woken Up To. But it’s not just one hell anymore, it’s many fresh ones per day.
Xanax is my friend.

Every morning I wake up and check the NY Times hoping to read a Big, Beautiful Obituary.

It’s a scary freakshow to watch. I’m glad I’m not U.S. based and can watch from a distance.

Don’t give him ideas.

Maybe he will just paint it gold, and rename it The Trump Statue.

Oh, he most certainly was not sleeping. His eyes were most definitely wide open. Here is photographic evidence:

Oh, so sad…a couple of GOP Senators (Curtis and Lee) are mighty upset that Hegseth’s hatchet job to the list o’ official military religions cut mormonism. :sob:

But they added Moronism.

Ironically Mormons claim to be a flavor of Christianity, despite being heretical regarding certain historic church creeds (notably, sola scriptura). And I think most Christians have said, well, okay, you believe Jesus is the Son of God, so whatever.

But Kegsbreath is not ā€œmostā€ Christians. He’s a fundamentalist, and fundamentalists do not accept Mormons as Christians.

I presume he left Catholics alone, for now? If only because the VP claims to be a Catholic? My guess is that it’s only a matter of time before he gets rid o’dem dere cat-lickers, because fundies are somewhere between suspicious and contemputous of those guys, too.

Sadly, this Pocket Nazi will have far too much support in this effort.
