David Barton is a fake historian who wrote a book on Thomas Jefferson that was so inaccurate his publisher was forced to pull it from the shelves.

Now Barton, and his son Tim, are advising Trump on his anti-Smithsonian crusade.

@GBC_Press Trump had no business demolishing government property without congressional approval. He should pay to rebuild the wing out of his own pocket.
Look the American taxpayers is struggling to just survive do you really think the average American gives a crap about a ballroom? No!

🚨 BREAKING:

​A judge has issued a ruling blocking the Donald Trump administration from moving forward with the $400 million White House ballroom project without the approval of the U.S. Congress.

​Trump is facing criticism from all sides...

They moved on from lindsey graham's death so quickly you'd think he died in a school shooting.

[The Halfway Post @HalfwayPost]

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious that the BBC is fighting his $10 billion lawsuit and legally acquiring all his sketchy financial records full of fraud and corrupt bribes instead of just settling like all the US companies did.

@dieworkwear What pissed me off, is did they even research actual Cyclops skeletons from that era? Is that actually what the Cyclops used to look like in ancient Greece?

This dinner is a disgrace. Trump’s rambling, unhinged speech is full of hate and spite. Just spewing nastiness at his usual targets. Let’s not sanitize how truly ugly it was. This would be a great moment for members of the press to get up and walk out.

@teniscat @CommieInaBox @kkringlebotten @MattWalshBlog If so, of course, you wouldn't be reading original. Prof Google notes earliest Latin translation exists in fragments; a later translation is abridged. Latin translations extant today were from the Renaissance. These would be no closer to the original than modern translations.

@teniscat @CommieInaBox @kkringlebotten @MattWalshBlog You read a Latin translation of the original Greek?

Homer’s Odyssey, very famously, begins in the middle of the story and then portrays past events via numerous flashbacks.

@YoShizWeak How about this: once Trump hands over the entire Epstein Files, CA - who has voted Blue for decades - will gladly show you the voting data.

Or is that a bridge too far for you?

@DougUpstone Mayor Bass flew to DC, gave him an Olympic torch and a flag of the community he’s fucking over.

Didn’t work.

He’s a rapist. He enjoys being cruel.

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, just said we lost 200,000 people in Vietnam.

This is profound stupidity, and one more indication of why he's an incompetent Commander in Chief.
