I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.
linuscatt · 1d ago
I worked at Smithsonian, specifically raising money for 250th. What I want people to know is we secured millions of private philanthropy to host a month long Folklife Festival on the mall, "The Festival of Festivals". Was going to feature well known festivals, think Burning Man, Farm Aid, Grand Ole Oprey etc. as well as smaller local and regional festivals from across the U.S. and territories. Goal was to feature truly the best and most beautiful creative expression in music, dance, arts and craft traditions, food, community etc. Can't name names but plan was to have headliners every night for free concerts.... Think the types of names who might be affiliated with the aforementioned large festivals. Stars were willing to perform because was under banner of Smithsonian. It had to all be scrapped bc the administration would not release permits to host on the mall. The money went elsewhere, but our nation was robbed of what would have been a once in a generation cultural moment.

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."

not polite to call some people stupid, but it is genuinely a party of stupid people
The Washington Post tweets: "Social Security’s trust fund is now due to run low on money beginning in 2032. 

The government acknowledged that the Trump administration’s immigration policies and tax cuts are expected to contribute to the insolvency." 

There is then a link to the story. 

Someone on Twitter replies: "Explain to me like I’m an idiot how deporting people contributes to my nest egg evaporating?"

so you're saying we need to control the key maritime terrain in the global trade system? if only someone had thought of this before! i wonder if there's a doctrine or even force design that might prepare us for these challenges. if not they should come up with one.
