Trump paved over the Rose Garden, bulldozed the East Garden, cut down historic trees planted by former presidents, demolished the entire East Wing of the White House without proper approvals or funding, killed the South lawn and fucked up the reflecting pool.

Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption--a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn't fuck up, it was my enemies.

Ossoff: “The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission.

And you may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate. [Mike Collins], who supports war and cutting your health care and openly associates himself with bigotry and antisemitism, who defends the violent mob that sacked the Capitol on the morning of January 6th, 2021…

To this day, this man makes excuses for those who carried out an attack to throw out your votes and install a defeated President.”

Pope Leo: “We tend to think...that the only issue of morality is sexual....I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that" issue.

Maybe I missed it, but I have not heard Trump say anything about this American arrested in China. Kind of shocking. Americans wrongly detained in Russia rightfully got attention at the highest levels. https://t.co/bBMXvHBLEC

Meloni’s retaliation in a video on social media…comes as the Italian premier gears up for a re-election battle in which her close relationship with the US president has been an increasing political liability. “Trump is electorally toxic in Europe, even on the right,” said Stefano Stefanini, Italy’s former ambassador to Nato. “Being in an anti-Trump camp now can bring her some electoral benefits.”

If DOD needs $80b to replenish stocks and pay for Trump’s unauthorized, unwise, and unsuccessful war, every cent should come out of the bloated appropriation for ICE and border patrol for Trump’s awful mass deportation project.

[Wiley Nickel 🇺🇸 @WileyNickel]

Trump’s reflecting pool is the perfect metaphor for his presidency: a vanity project built on favors and shortcuts, handed to people who had no business doing it, hyped endlessly, falls apart almost immediately, cost taxpayers millions, and somehow it’s everyone else’s fault…

[Jon “Bowzer” Bauman @JonBowzerBauman]

I repeat: “Donald Trump” is a mythological creation of “Apprentice” boss Mark Burnett: a “Successful Businessman who is Very Strong & says ‘You’re Fired.’”

The reflecting pool fiasco reveals perfectly who he really is: a corrupt, incompetent dolt who bankrupted 6 casinos.

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Reminder that Trump has let 22 politicians convicted of corruption charges off the hook so far with pardons and sentence commutations.

Bad news: The Kennedy tarp is still up.

Good news: It doubles as an incredible projector screen!

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Trump is entering his King Lear phase, mouthing ever wilder threats that impress nobody because all can see he already threw away the elements of his former power.

You can't just hand over an entire country to a loser who has gone bankrupt six times.

[Maggie 🇺🇸⚾️ @LACentrist]

The Reflecting Pool was not vandalized.

It was gross incompetence by the no-bid contractor; a contract awarded by Trump.

There is no conspiracy theory. No vandals.

Just incompetence.

On our dime.

Truth matters.

Basically being arrested for touching garbage. Just an insane abuse of law enforcement.
