Stop calling this a DC makeover. This is an illegal desecration of our capital and a huge waste of American families’ money. DC is sacred ground, and we shouldn’t minimize the real damage being done.

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

It seems like a design flaw that we have no realistically plausible means of imposing consequences on the people in our society with the most power to destroy the foundational principles and rules of our society

Trump is very publicly doling out disaster relief money to his political allies who are running in November.
Trump: I just informed Andy Barr, who is running to be the next Senator from the incredible Commonwealth of Kentucky, that I am approving
9.1 Million Dollars for severe storms, winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, that they are recovering from. The Great People of Kentucky are resilient, smart, and tough, and I am with them all the way. Vote for Andy Barr - He has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and he will never let you down! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night:
connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests.
every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

The GOP keeps insisting that Trump's profiting from the presidency is all right because "the American people voted for a businessman" but the American people voted for a farmer in Jimmy Carter too ... and then we immediately forced him to give up the goddamn farm.

Is it not extremely obvious to everyone that the reflecting pool nonsense is where Trump is comfortable and he's pushing all of his attention onto that to avoid attention being paid to where he is uncomfortable...having gotten us into a war that he immediately lost?
