The anti-Biden people will never talk about this, and it is the single most obvious and clear sign that: 1. Trump was far worse in every way. 2. They have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about. They all checked out when Biden lost, because that’s what they cared about.

Does the president have the unilateral authority to tear down large parts of the White House?

No. Federal law does not give the President unlimited power to demolish or rebuild large parts of the White House on his own. I cannot give legal advice.
Main legal limit
• Congress has plenary authority over federal property and the District of Columbia.

Yes. Official materials say President Trump's name appears in the released Epstein-related files. A mention is not proof of a crime.

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

Putin has expressly declared, unambiguously, that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a geopolitical tragedy, not because of anticapitalism, but because it broke apart the Russian empire. He doesn't believe Ukrainians are an actual country or a national identity and wants to destroy it.

At a certain point, leftists are going to have to contend with the fact that colonialist expansionist imperialism has been foundational to Russian self-perception and the Russian mindset since before the US even existed. Doesn't matter whether it's the czars, the Soviets, or Putin. Same shit.

There's this really odd pattern with Bari Weiss, JD Vance, Richard Hanania etc, where they rise to prominence because their main skill is cultivating the friendship of wealthy patrons, but it's impossible to figure out how they do it because they constantly exude a pungent strain of anti-charisma.
