The whole East Wing is gone. And if you think Trump is actually paying for this new $300 million dollar ballroom himself, I have a bridge to sell you.

This regime has normalized massive corruption. The sad part is most Americans could care less.
Changpeng Zhao is comically corrupt. And he just successfully won a pardon from Trump by boosting the Trump family crypto coin. I mean, this is a months-long scandal in any other normal administration.

The Steady State has asked Congress to investigate reports of an “Interagency Weaponization Working Group” — a group allegedly using the intelligence community and law enforcement to target political opponents. If true, it marks a slide toward a domestic surveillance or

Never underestimate the power of the grievances of #Strongmen. Here is my analysis of the double blow of the No Kings protests and the failed Nobel campaign:
A European diplomat briefed on the meeting between Trump and Zelensky described it as a mess and said Trump also “went on and on” about “his grievances of not having gotten the Nobel Peace Prize.” -Washington Post

Rep. Lisa McClain is still defending her “Hate America Rally” smear, insisting all 7 million peaceful protesters stand for criminals, anti-Semitism, and communism. This is how authoritarian politics works. When a lie is exposed, they double down to preserve infallibility and
CNN: Do you really believe that the 7 million attendees who participated this weekend hate the United States of America? REP. LISA McCLAIN: Well, look at what they're standing for. They're standing for communism. They're standing for antisemitism.

Our government is lying to us. Openly. Proudly. Blatantly. Shame doesn’t work on the shameless. They don’t care. So We must vote ALL of them out. Anyone who supports this. All of them. This is our national cancer.
Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House to build President Trump’s long-desired ballroom — despite his pledge that construction of the $250 million addition wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing building. https://t.co/gdi8H3VWuf

Use and discard: when there are no values everyone is a pawn, including the officials who think they are safe. No one is safe. Your loyalty is earned by the day, by the hour. Read #Strongmen for myriad examples.

Darn it, I am always forgetting the name (the scholar) for the principle that no scene in the Iliad is repeated in the Odyssey (that they do not overlap). Help, Homerists! I feel it starts with a W. (or M?)
