The US suffered a lot of damage to our bases in the Middle East from Iranian missiles and drones. The administration is talking about rebuilding further away and with more underground. My question is why spend the $? You don’t see Chinese bases.
Who saw this a while back and just KNEW this was not gonna end well?
Trump made his motorcade drive down the reflecting pool before it was sealed.
The contractor didn’t clean up the motor oil and tire dust, they just painted right over it.
The paint failed exactly as predicted.
By June, massive gashes of blue lining were peeling off in the exact shape of the motorcade’s path. The oil trapped underneath stopped the paint from sticking.
Surface prep 101.
Six innocent people arrested.
A brand new bridge between Detroit and Canada is finished and ready to open. It would speed up traffic for millions of trucks, cut delays for American businesses, and help the auto industry that employs people in every state. There is just one problem.
Donald Trump won’t let it open.
Here is why.
The family that owns the old bridge stands to lose business when the new one opens. So in January, they gave one million dollars to a pro-Trump super PAC.
Weeks later they met with Trump’s Commerce Secretary.
He called Trump.
Hours after that, Trump announced he would block the new bridge. The opening was set for June 12. It got canceled the day before. The bridge sits there finished and empty.
Now here is the part that should make every taxpayer angry.
Canada paid for the entire bridge.
Every dollar. And the United States already owns half of it for free. Trump is holding up a bridge we got for nothing, to protect a donor who wrote him a check, while picking a fight with our closest ally and biggest trading partner.
This is corruption in plain sight.
A billionaire pays, and the President delivers. American workers and businesses pay the price.
Open the bridge. A government should work for the people, not for whoever writes the biggest check.

Good fucking gawd! Trump has fucked-up the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool far beyond the algae infestation. The paint is now beginning to peel off.
The hydrogen peroxide used by Trump's incompetent pool dudes to combat the algae is removing the paint and creating a toxic chemical stew of green sludge.
Everything Trump touches turns to shit.
Jedd Clampett trump enjoying his new pool. The empire hires a pool man with a gold toilet soul, hands him $14 million, and the sacred water comes back looking like breakfast from a fever dream. Green eggs, ham, algae, and the dead-eyed grin of a man who could sell rot as patriotism if the invoice had enough zeros.
SpaceX is like Amzn in 2000. If you believed in the model & Bezos you bought stock. The model: be most efficient & best brand online retailer was a long shot in 2000, it took years to develop but it worked, early investors who held the AMZN are wealthy. SpaceX more complicated
I believe most Americans believe that all men/people are created equal. This will lead to a Blue wave at the midterms as moderates choose equality and science over white nationalism. Many still have conservative values but will temper them in the short run.
@LastCoinStandng@DefiantLs Part of our purpose, the role of government, as expressed in the preamble to the constitution is: promote the general Welfare. We do that with a free market economy and government safeguards to insure general welfare, not just welfare of most successful.
MAJOR BREAKING: Canada bans Texas cattle over flesh-eating screwworm outbreak.
Remember that Trump/DOGE pushed broad USDA staffing and budget cuts that affected APHIS, which happens to be the the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, responsible for overseeing screwworm in cattle at the federal level.
Thanks Trump for screwing us, you worm....
Tesla is spitting out two seater, steering wheel free, robotaxis in its Austin plant, but as of now doesn’t have approval to use them. It looks like they got ahead of themselves. Maybe they will sell them to Space-x to drive the astronauts to the rockets.
@XFreeze Tunnels were extremely expensive to build, not cost competitive until Boring company, which it seems has found a way to lower cost by a large amount. That’s a game changer!
@elonmusk@Starlink Monopolies are never good for customers. So thank you Delta and Ryanair for not selecting Starlink. Customer experience will be fine.
"The 'diplomacy' of a real estate developer and a son-in-law is a joke that isn't funny. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have visited Moscow 8 times but keep 'getting seasick' on the train to Kyiv.They aren't diplomats; they are deal-makers trying to trade Ukrainian blood for 'infrastructure profits'. This is not just an insult to Ukraine—it is a historic disgrace for the United States. While they play business games, we fight for survival. Washington must realize: real peace is not a real estate deal.
