The White House demolition shows that Trump seems to have no care or concern about what our history means to most of us and what real love for country and patriotism is all about. This history, like our nation and constitution are treasures. To me, the demolition feels like a physical and violent assault on all of us.
The ballroom is clearly meant to be massive enough to overshadow the White House and to be a monument to Trump. One can imagine the gold letters in his name making its way onto the front of the building at some point.
When the Dems take back congress, they need to pass a law prohibiting anyone from doing this again and destroying our historical buildings. There are so many laws that now need passing to make sure no one ever does many of the things Trump has done, ever again, but they will need a veto proof and filibuster proof supermajority to do so in the Senate. Still a majority can also help to stop him.
Vote blue no matter who is more important now than ever before because we need the numbers.
It really surprises me that some of these retiring GOP senators and congresspeople simply don't just switch to independent now, and caucus with Dems and flip control in order to stop the madness. It shows that they simply do not have the courage or patriotism needed and that one can't even trust so-called GOP moderates.
I too am looking forward to the ballroom's removal one day. Its removal will be like toppling the statue of a dictator.
It’s time to opt out of the economy. (In the way that works best for each of us.)
We need to back up the "soft" side of the resistance/non-compliance with its counterpart: economic action through disengagement. People need to opt-out, in as many ways as possible. This will be more powerful than any other peaceful act.
I have been trying to help in the "opting out" of fossil fuels and doing my part in that respect as much as I can. Trump, in promoting fossil fuels and undoing the IRA has me more determined than ever. Why are we giving his fossil fuel buddies money if we do not need to do so? In addition, it is a great way to also save money on one's living expenses and help fight climate change, and there are inexpensive ways to do this and ways to largely "opt out" of using as much energy.
I was a teacher and this antic proved we have a president with no more than a sixth grade mentality and lots of people plus a Supreme Court that is fine with it. He’s trying to make it hard for us to stay on top of him. Kudos to you. You just did what I used to do when I taught—put him in his place so the class could go on.
We have to prove the Presidency depends on the Constitution and not a fake crown

Yes! WE!)

Trump's "bombing attack" shows just how weak he is: he has nothing substantive to with which to respond to "No Kings Day." As for Vance, his response is truly dangerous: it represents the wish of a future fascist dictator to having his enemies (and perceived enemies) bow down to him. It is just what happened in Nazi Germany, for example, although it took "The Night of the Long Knives" (June 30, 1934) to accomplish it.
Thanks Steven: Yes I agree his is a total idiot. Acting like a petulant man-baby. Flying his fake jet over the crowds and spewing sewage , Has any one tried to control this moron. He is treating the White House like it was his own with tax payers money going into a ballrooms. Maybe some laundered dollars from off shore. It is alleged he wanted to give a world leader Eisenhower''s sword. The director of the library refused and had to retire . They eventually gave King Charles a replica of the sword. This man-baby is just trashing the White House , Sad. He is a White Supremacist , sexual predator , fraudster plain and simple.
U.S. District Judge Karin J. Imoergut in Portland, Ore. temporarily blocked (on October 4 and 13) President Trump from federalizing 200 members of the state and another state’s (respectively) National Guard. On October 15 she extended her order until October 29. A three-judge panel with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the TRO. That is now being appealed for an en banc review.
My idea for the ballroom is to keep it, but greatly shrink it maybe make it one story or and much smaller in square footage and take all the rest of the space equivalent or bigger than to the old East wing of the White House and see if that can be turned into two floors so we get an expansion on the office space and make a very large Office space with nice windows.

I love these power packed short pearls. 💙🇺🇸💙
As usual, watched several times.
As usual, took notes☺️

Well said, Steven. We are living in such precarious times. We must all stand strong. We can make change at the ballot box. Please vote for change.

Amen.
My idea for the ballroom is to keep it, but greatly shrink it maybe make it one story or and much smaller in square footage and take all the rest of the space equivalent or bigger than to the old East wing of the White House and see if that can be turned into two floors so we get an expansion on the office space and make a very large Office space with nice windows.
Then rename every thing.
It will be the Obama ballroom
The first floor Biden east office wing
And
The second floor Jimmy Carter East office swing
Amen!
