Passing it on. Via Glee Violette
People. Please. Let me say this loud and clear. IT WAS NEVER ABOUT A BALLROOM.
The East Wing was built in 1942 to disguise the simultaneous construction of an underground bunker and operations center, underneath it.
And just like then, the Ballroom being built now is a ruse. A decoy. A distraction. To cover up a new and improved bunker.
SO Of COURSE Trump did not go through the National Monuments historical preservation channels. The plans for his bunker would have been exposed to too many people. There would be no way to disguise the ballroom plans to hide it. There would be too many clues for experts to see.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Why the rush? THOSE clues are all around us, too. Fully exposed.
Trump has Congress, the DOJ, and the Supreme Court in his pocket right now, but IF elections happen next year, he WILL lose Congress.
Elections must not happen. During war-time emergencies, elections CAN BE SUSPENDED. So, there must be such an emergency.
A military coup to put down a "rebellion" would do nicely.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Hegseth has now barred both the Press and Congress from the Pentagon. And barred ALL Pentagon staff from communicating with either the Press or Congress as well.
He has also been purging the Military of any leader with even a HINT of "disloyalty". Accusations by far-right influencers like Laura Loomer have resulted in firings. He has run multiple lie-detector tests. He even has a new excuse - his recent threat to fire "fat generals". And now he is having ANY service member discharged for postings on social media mocking Charlie Kirk or other MAGA leaders.
And he and Trump have been seeing how far they can push officers to follow illegal orders by having our ships fire on and destroy boats in international waters and kill the people on board. Now, for the first time, he has had an AIRSTRIKE take out an 8th boat, killing its two occupants.
The idea that these are terrorists taking drugs to America is laughable. They do not have enough fuel. They are headed in the wrong direction, to Trinidad and Tobago for the cocaine trade. And they are not carrying fentanyl. That comes up through Central America and enters through Mexico. EVERY EXPERT KNOWS THIS.
All international laws are being ignored. These boats are not boarded. Nothing is taken in evidence. There is no identification made of the occupants. There are no arrests or charges. There is no due process for their lawful prosecution.
Most importantly, any crimes they COULD be charged for DO NOT CARRY THE DEATH PENALTY.
They are not being "executed". They are being murdered.
Trump and Hegseth are seeing JUST how loyal their new military commanding officers are, and how far they can push them to obey their illegal orders.
Will they kill random people if Trump says they are foreign criminals and terrorists?
Will they kill the SAME foreigners in OUR country, if Trump says they are criminals and terrorists?
Will they kill ANY foreign immigrants on his orders?
Will they kill US?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Trump said Hegseth should use our own cities as "training grounds" for the Military. He has attempted to send troops into several cities with Democratic mayors, and has even said out loud he wanted them to use full strength. That means live ammunition. On our own people.
And they are also arming Homeland Security and ICE. Federal purchasing logs show ICE spent $71,515,762 on “small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories,” including military supplies, weapons, and ammunition, in the nine months between Jan. 20 and Oct. 18, according to the Daily Beast.
While ICE denies a viral report that the purchases included "guided missile warheads", the codes on what WAS purchased are unclear. For instance, "chemical weapons" could refer to tear gas and pepper balls. Or...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
What IS clear is THIS. Trump keeps "floating" a declaration of the Insurrection Act almost every single day. He threatens the military invasion of American cities almost every single day.
He and his VP and his cabinet heads and the Republican leaders of the House and Senate have upped their rhetoric of ALL Democrats being the "enemy within" and "antifa terrorists" and "Hamas (as in, non-Christian foreign agents) and "radical violent lunatics" - intended to make MAGA folks in "red states" fear and hate the people in "blue states".
The whole idea of red states and blue states is nonsense - most statewide elections are pretty close - not only are our states pretty evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, so are our communities and even our own families.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
But the rhetoric becomes ever more sensationalized and unhinged, day by day. Trump has been planning on taking and KEEPING the presidency from the moment he lost the 2020 election. THAT is why January 6th happened.
The riot was a last ditch effort to STOP the certification of the election that was going on in the Capitol, after the scheme to replace official state electors with slates of FAKE electors failed, and Vice President Pence refused to go along with Trump's order to overturn the election.
Trump will use ANY means - ANY MEANS - to hold on to the office this time around. He has proven that. He has three goals that motivate him - personal power, wealth, and revenge. Nothing he does is for the MAGA folks - they are just his pawns. And he is not here to make America "great", but to PLUNDER it and OWN it.
So, there must be NO midterm elections next year. For that he needs war-time conditions. And that war will be RIGHT HERE. So he needs himself a proper bunker. Not the 60 year old WWII bunker he hid in last time. A lavish, opulent, HUGE bunker, in the style to which he has become accustomed.
Oh, and the Ballroom he is building over it will be a nice place to serve as a proper Great Hall and Throne Room, afterwards, in order to receive tributes from future supplicants, as well.

🚨🪖🇺🇦🇷🇺 La “lettera aperta” di Volodymyr Zelensky è un piccolo grande capolavoro comunicativo. Ho isolato almeno 10 passaggi cruciali che meritano di essere analizzati e approfonditi. Ma prima di iniziare, una piccola premessa. Non è un caso che la lettera sia “aperta”. Zelensky avrebbe potuto scrivere una missiva del genere, indirizzare verso Mosca le stesse proposte, ma tenendola riservata. Il fatto che il presidente ucraino abbia deciso di renderla pubblica, che abbia utilizzato volutamente certe parole e certi toni, chiarisce che l’uomo del Cremlino è solo uno dei molti destinatari del messaggio. Vediamo quali sono gli altri. Buona lettura.
Donald Trump fell asleep multiple times in the Oval Office today. AGAIN.
That’s why I’ve called for the 25th Amendment, and dozens of my colleagues have done the same. Donald Trump is unwell and must be removed from office. It’s a national security crisis.
This is our Churchill vs. Chamberlain moment. Stand with good or stand with evil.
Ukraine is a democracy invaded by a dictator who wants to erase its independence, culture and people.
Ronald Reagan would stand with Ukraine and vote yes tonight. He would choose Churchill.
Trump LOSES, Putin LOSES, and the people of Ukraine WIN.
Kudos to the 18 Republicans who chose America's democratic friends over an authoritarian tyrant.
NEWS: The House has passed the Ukraine Support Act, 226-195, to provide new military aid to Ukraine and impose tougher sanctions on Russia.
The bill advanced through a discharge petition despite Speaker Mike Johnson's efforts to block a vote.
18 Republicans and former Republican Kevin Kiley broke with leadership to vote for it.
Republicans often like to say that government should be run more like a business.
If any CEO fell asleep at multiple board meetings and events, that CEO would be fired.
La scena di Maria Zakharova che saluta Markus Frohnmaier merita un commento supplementare. Perché il rapporto tra i due non è esattamente alla pari e la visita del rappresentante di AfD non è semplicemente di cortesia.
Un’inchiesta del 2019 di Der Spiegel, ZDF, BBC e Dossier Center ha rivelato un documento interno del Cremlino (redatto dall’ex ufficiale dei servizi segreti russi Petr Premyak e inviato al funzionario del Cremlino Sergey Sokolov) datato 2017, appena prima delle votazioni che avrebbero sancito l’ingresso di AfD nel Bundestag, nel quale parlando dell’imminente elezione di Frohnmaier, si diceva che “avremo a disposizione un deputato assolutamente sotto controllo”. L’accordo prevedeva sostegno materiale e politico, in cambio di una posizione favorevole al Cremlino su gas e sanzioni. In seguito Frohnmaier ha anche effettuato varie trasferte nelle zone occupate e in Crimea.
Negli anni la Russia ha pagato anche varie missioni di lusso degli esponenti di AfD, supportato il partito attraverso campagne di propaganda mirate ed i Doppleganger, cioè articoli di false testate giornalistiche manipolate per somigliare agli originali.
La scena non è quindi quella di un ospite che saluta il padrone di casa, ma di una creatura politica che ringrazia chi l’ha fatta crescere. Che non sarebbe nemmeno troppo assurdo se non fossero nazisti i primi e “denazificatori” i secondi. Qualcuno lo dica ad @AndreaLucidi, che gira il mondo a caccia di svastiche altrui, ma poi non vede quelle il suo amato regime criminale coltiva in provetta e che gli sfilano accanto proprio ora a San Pietroburgo.
Gli Stati Uniti d’America non sono nati in un giorno. Le tredici colonie non volevano cedere sovranità. Eppure ci fu chi ebbe il coraggio di guardare più lontano.
La storia insegna che le grandi comunità politiche nascono quando qualcuno sceglie di costruire, non di dividere.
Oggi la sfida è la stessa: completare il progetto europeo, rafforzare la nostra capacità di difenderci, contare nel mondo e garantire stabilità ai cittadini.
Gli Stati Uniti d’Europa non sono un sogno. Sono una necessità. E dobbiamo avere il coraggio e anche l’orgoglio di perseguire quella strada. Adesso.
This is putin casually admitting to what can only be described as a textbook war crime, and he’s doing it with a smug smile on his face.
He literally brags about using Ukraine as a human testing ground.
He openly admits that they didn't fire their "Oreshnik" missile at a military test range. Instead, they fired it at populated areas in Ukraine just because it was "convenient to watch”.
Think about that for a second. He sent explosive warheads into communities, and then sent drones in right after just to count the bodies and measure the craters "down to the millimeter" like it’s some kind of science fair project.
But the scariest part is how he ends it. He casually drops that they are collecting this data so they can figure out how to better use these massive missiles in "urban areas”. That is political speak for densely populated cities filled with civilians, apartment buildings, and schools.
It’s pure, calculated terror.
putin: “After all, we... we used to test such systems at testing ranges. But 'Oreshnik' wasn't tested that way. And this wasn't a combat application. In fact, we haven't had a single combat application of 'Oreshnik' over the territory of Ukraine in the full, so to speak, sense of the word.
And the last one—to be completely honest, I will reveal a major, major state military secret to you. We simply struck a location where it was convenient to observe the results. Well, this concerns Bila Tserkva, and it especially concerns... concerns the DPR [so-called Donetsk People's Republic] area within the perimeter of the main fortified area.
Afterward, our drones flew into that area—the target area we had struck—and simply looked at how the multiple reentry vehicles had landed. They calculated everything down to the millimeter, exactly where everything hit.
For us, this is important in order to make future decisions regarding the full-scale deployment of 'Oreshnik' against designated targets. Including within urban areas.”
For the first time since 2024, the House passes bipartisan legislation to send billions of dollars in new security assistance to help our democratic ally Ukraine fight against Putin’s bloody illegal war and imperial aggression. Let’s stand strong for democracy and freedom against the oligarchs and authoritarians.
Impressive letter from Zelenskyy to Putin. Of course, Putin doesn't care at all about future generations of Russians, or this generation. He only cares about his own skin and the power needed to preserve it. As Zelenskyy points out, failure for Russia leads to change...
This is an insane story. The DOGE whistleblower who said that login attempts were made to the NLRB from Russian IP addresses minutes after DOGE got access had his brake lines cut and photos of him walking his dog from a drone taped to his door after Musk attacked him on Twitter
🔥🚨 MAJOR JUST IN: The SAVE America Act Just Failed In The Senate.
The measure, which would have required voter ID and proof of citizenship nationwide, was rejected 48-50.
Republican senators Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and Susan Collins voted no.
BREAKING: HELL YES! Albania strikes a crushing blow against Jared Kushner's corrupt private island development by FREEZING the bank accounts of a major company tied to the project.
And it gets even better...
According to Albanian reporter Lindita Cela, the nation's anti-corruption prosecutors have frozen the accounts of a landholding company involved in Kushner's $4 billion luxury resort plans.
The move comes as massive protests sweep the country, with local residents incensed at the idea of Ivanka and Jared gobbling up coveted real estate to create a vacation spot for the Epstein Class. The slogan “Albania Is Not for Sale" has been spreading like wildfire and clashes between police and protestors are increasing in intensity.
The asset seizure was ordered by the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime and is part of a broader investigation into possibly fraudulent property titles.
Suspiciously, the company in question is owned by Qatari oligarchs Moutaz and Ramez Al-Khayyat. Kushner's ties to dirty Gulf money are well-established. They blossomed during his time in the first Trump administration, where he twisted American foreign policy to benefit specific actors in the region in return for massive investments and business advantages. This deal is rotten all the way to the core.
The Al-Khayyats have snatched up property along a protected stretch of coastline of the Adriatic Sea and it's here and on a nearby island that Kushner intends on erecting his resort for the top 1% of the top 1%. Given what we know about the Trump family, it's safe to presume that the development will serve as a paradise for pedophiles, war criminals, and human traffickers.
But this time, Jared bit off more than he can chew. Albanians are a proud, defiant people. They've survived centuries of larger regional powers seeking to divide their land, rewrite their history, and erase their culture. They're not going to let one greedy businessman defeat them now.
We stand with Albania!
Kushner out! Ivanka out!
Do you stand with the Albanian people?
Please ❤️ and share to demand more investigations into Kushner!
Something is happening to the US that is slow, systematic and deadly. Trump is dismantling our country, and it’s deliberate, calculated and surgical.
1: trump killed NATO partnership, our strongest defense alliance against Russia and China
2: trump’s HHS Secretary is killing our public health infrastructure, creating a more sicker and vulnerable America with communicative diseases
3: over at the pentagon trump’s frat boy Petey is firing our most qualified generals, depleting our best military hardware rapidly, in a stupid war to make our military a third world level armed forces
4: trump’s DOGE deliberately hollowed out our government from essential experts, to zap its functioning capabilities
5: trump killed USAID, and we lost our goodwill around the world and became isolated pariah
6: trump ICE became his brown shirts, killing and abusing Americans to obey
7: trump’s weirdo FBI director is charging everyone and anyone to silence Americans
8: trump DOJ is robbing the treasury to the tune of $1.8 billion dollars, to create an army of bribed foot soldiers to protect their dismantling of the country during midterm elections
9: trump’s interior secretary is dismantling our national parks
10: trump’s economic team of Bassett and lutnick is crashing the economy, creating a population of economically disadvantaged
11: trump’s Epstein files are now officially been shelved to protect trump the destroyer
12: trump let his oligarch enabler Peter Thiel to confiscate all our private data, including social security, tax, health and court and business records
13: finally and most importantly, trump and his family and his oligarch enablers are looting our treasury, and stuffing our tax dollars into their pockets.
Now tell me, you don’t think trump is a foreign agent, disguised as the president of the U.S, installed to destroy the US? Could it be that fuck Putin, the other fuck Elon, the anti Christ fuck Theil, own trump’s ass? Drag this enemy of America out of the White House. That foreign escort “Epstien hooker” Melania too.
Dear @SecretaryWright: Some deep questions for your deep thoughts:
-Did you know the sun still shines during winter?
-Did you know that solar panels rely on sunlight rather than warmth?
In fact, solar panels can operate even more efficiently during the winter.
The President is not well. He can’t stay awake at important White House events and cabinet meetings.
@WhiteHouse needs to come clean about why trump takes so many trips to the hospital and why doctors keep giving trump cognitive tests.
