During the entire insane scene where he yelled at aides, blamed Europe for not helping, and worried about comparisons to Carter's Iran crisis, Donald Trump continued to obsess about his ballroom, and mused about giving himself the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration in US history.

Doggett challenges RFK Jr. on the administration's approach to healthcare fraud, cutting him off to note that Trump has pardoned more fraudsters than any president in American history.

ALERT: Scott MacFarlane reveals new court filings showing Trump may receive a taxpayer-funded payout from his IRS lawsuit — while the DOJ also moves to return taxpayer money to pardoned January 6 defendants. Your tax dollars could be going directly to Trump and those involved in the Capitol attack.

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.
Leonard Gall (left) architect of the new ballroom, stands with Hitler and Albert Speer at the other major construction project in 1936, the Haus der Deutschen Kunst in MünchenThe new ballroom and reception hall attached to the Old Reich Chancellery, with the floor removed to reveal the Vorbunker.

Trump coup conspirator John Eastman has been disbarred. That’s good. He abused his status as a White House lawyer to advocate lawbreaking, even doing so in writing the night of Jan. 6 But quite bad that this, years later, is the only consequence for him, or just about any high level coup plotter.
