Can someone please explain why our President wants to build a 250 foot snipers nest in our nations Capital? Seems a tad ominous.

If Republicans feel really strongly about getting taxpayers to pay for Trump's golden ballroom, they should go out there and hold some town halls with their constituents. They can bring photos of the chandeliers and maybe a sample of the marble for them to look at. I'm sure it'll be a big hit!

“While Mr. Trump said little about how the United States would be “running” Venezuela, he insisted it “won’t cost us anything” because American oil companies would rebuild the energy infrastructure in Venezuela, which holds vast reserves of oil” Didn’t work so well in Iraq 🤬

this comment, man
"The last time I was in Duluth I went by Lucy van Pelt's house--"It's Simmons now," she reminded me when she met me at the door of her mobile home. (Simmons was the name of her third and so-far last husband, the one who'd left her widowed instead of having just left her.) She ushered me inside. The room was furnished with a tacky matching sofa-armchair-armchair set, everything covered in translucent slipcovers. "You still making up stories about your dog?" she croaked, lighting up a cigarette over my protests. She did mute Fox News at my request. "Have you seen what those Somalis have done to downtown? It's disgusting. We should throw them all out." I started making a meek rejoinder, but let my indignation sputter out. What was the point? We'd been arguing like this since we were ten.

"Listen, Lucy," I said. "You should really talk to Linus. The last time I went by his rectory, he wasn't doing well. Losing Franklin really hurt him a lot--"

She waved a newly-lit Virginia Slim at me in a gesture of dismissal. For a long time she stared into space, eyes vacantly twitching. I watched through the window as some birds landed in the lot in front of her home. "That blockhead," she said quietly. "We were so proud when he went to seminary...then he had to ruin it all by becoming..."

"I think Linus was always gay, Lucy, and you knew it."

"Don't you call my baby brother a sodomite, Charles!" she said with nasty vituperation. "He was corrupted by those liberals. People just like you, living out in California and making your propaganda little children's books about a dog with an imagination. Makes me sick, the way you try and corrupt kids like that. Empathy is a sin, you know that? A sin." She fell back into her chair, exhausted. I thought I could hear the edge of emphysema in her voice.

Not long after I made my goodbyes and walked back to my car, shaking my head. Patty raised her head as I got back into the car, her little tail wagging furiously."

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.
