You know how you move into a place & it has rules, like no pets, no smoking etc?

Next level, you buy a home that’s designated a #historical #landmark & in the deed it stipulates renovations are limited to interior & have to conform to a specific era.

Now imagine you’re a renter, or better yet, a house guest.

Cuz that’s what #Trump is. A FUCKING HOUSEGUEST! And he is literally demolishing a #HistoricLandmark.

THE historic landmark.
Fuck this guy.

Construction began yesterday on U.S. President Donald Trump's White House ballroom. Who's paying for it? The only confirmed donor is YouTube, but other names in the mix include Blackstone, OpenAI, Microsoft, Palantir, Lockheed Martin and Amazon. @BBCNews talked to Richard Painter, chief ethics lawyer in the Bush White House, about why he's concerned about this.

Who is paying for Donald Trump's new White House ballroom?

A former White House chief ethics lawyer described the ballroom donations as an ethical 'nightmare'.

Trump is not only destroying American democracy, he is literally tearing down the White House:

"Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House...

"Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..."

"The East Wing as it exists today is a two-story structure[7][8] and was added to the White House in 1942 primarily to cover the construction of an underground bunker, now known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC)."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Wing

So, the #EastWing was built to protect the #POTUS from a #Nazi attack during WWII (in which the USA fought against the fascists). But now #Trump is tearing it down.

Interesting...

#Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the #WhiteHouse to build #Trump’s long-desired #ballroom despite his pledge that construction of the $250 million addition wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing building.
Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure, according to a photo shared with The Washington Post and two people who witnessed the activity & spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe it.

An official #WhiteHouse government account just called me a “weapons-grade moron.”

They must have looked up my military service history and decided to show me respect by saying “weapons-grade.”

Notice how bluesky signaled that Nazis were ok at the bar, and the Nazis moved right in. Textbook.

According to Techcrunch: “Less than 48 hours after joining, the White House has already become one of the most blocked accounts on Bluesky. According to ClearSky, which tracks Bluesky blocking stats, the White House account is blocked by around 91,000 accounts, while being followed by only 10,000. The only account that’s been blocked by more Bluesky users belongs to Vice President JD Vance, who joined back in June.”
