What an utter idiot. PENGUINS?
Bad AI art of "Trump" with his back to the viewer, snowy mountain in the background, with many penguins dressed in tacky American shit and holding American flags walking toward him, with the word, "Greenland" above the image.

It’s interesting how the standard bearer for the party whose message used to be “Democrats suck because they just buy votes by giving people free stuff” has decided the closing message for the midterms will just be “how many more checks do we have to send you in order to earn your vote?”

Slander is spoken; libel is written. But this isn't either of those. It's detailed reporting from a respected outlet with damning evidence. And "most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history" is as impressive as "shortest NBA player from Luxembourg"
Speaking on behalf of Lutnick, the White House said: "The BBC's pathetic and desperate attempt to slander Secretary Lutnick will do nothing to change the fact that he has been the most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history."

Maison Carre, an imperial cult temple in yellow stone.The outside of Nimes’ Roman arena. Two rings of arches. There is a person on the very top, looking very small.Inside Nimes’ arena. Much of the seating is modern as it is still used for events.

The #WhiteHouse fabric has sustained plenty of damage, unfortunately. More difficult to undo will be the East façade—particularly the East Room's Palladian window—an original feature from 1792—which Trump is destroying to create a second floor corridor to his new ballroom. bsky.app/profile/sund...
