Democracy has no kings, dictators, or C.E.O.s! THIS IS A DEMOCRACY, not a CO. I may talk funny since I learned Will Shakespeare is my 12th Great Uncle!

The reflecting pool disaster is the perfect example of the non-stop incompetence, corruption, and fascism coming out of this White House.

This is what has been unleashed in this country: a return to emboldened racism. They feel validated and vindicated. They no longer have to couch their bigotry in polite language. It can now, once again, be raw and visceral. This is what we are fighting people.

It’s going to take decades to repair the damaged these assholes have caused.

@Godisgood1950 @OccupyDemocrats NO, NO, nobody is lying in this post!! you're either mistaken, or lying yourself! What the heck is it that you think is a lie? Or are you just saying that to try to get a rise out of someone; just trolling?

BREAKING: ARE YOU KIDDING!? Trump gets caught funneling your tax dollars into a pricey vanity project inside the White House — after promising to pay for it himself.

He keeps pulling this con and MAGA keeps falling for it...

According to a new report in The Atlantic, Trump replaced the paved walkway that connects the White House Residence to the Oval Office, swapping out Tennessee flagstone for incredibly expensive African granite that was carved in Italy. When he was asked in March who would shoulder the bill, Trump said "Paid for me."

As it turns out, he was lying through his dentures.

Budget documents from the National Park Service reviewed by The Atlantic reveal that the walkway project cost taxpayers $689,232 and is just one piece of a $1.3 million project that also included repairing stone and masonry and upgrading doors. Meanwhile, average Americans can barely afford groceries.

But it gets even worse....

Documents marked as a “rush project at request of POTUS" reveal that the Park Service also wasted $347,503 to "remove and replace the stucco on the colonnade wall" so that Trump could "affix gold frames and plaques mocking some of his predecessors." In other words, he took money out of our pockets and used it to make the White House uglier while slinging partisan mud.

Spending on projects in parks outside of the Washington, D.C. area have been slashed by a jaw-dropping $854 million, or 68%. Meanwhile, spending in the capital spiked by $100 million. As Trump's presidency collapses into failure, he's desperately trying to build a physical legacy for himself outside of his window.

Every single one of those dollars should have gone towards their intended purpose, which is maintaining and upgrading our beloved National Parks. But of course Trump doesn't care about our parks because they belong to everyone. It doesn't matter to him if American families are able to enjoy the natural splendor of our beautiful country like generations before have. All he cares about is slapping his tacky aesthetic on everything within reach.

"This previously undisclosed spending is part of an enormous shift of taxpayer cash away from national parks around the country and into the Washington area," writes Michael Scherer for The Atlantic. "In order to pay for the president’s projects, the parks have had to cancel needed repairs, slash their budgets, and operate with fewer employees."

Scherer adds that Park Service employees say that there's a "quiet crisis unfolding" as the Interior Department's budget shrinks and funds are moved away from the usual priorities.

Projects that got stiffed include a much-needed "$1.5 million roof-replacement project at the Yellowstone Center for Resources to halt pest invasions and water leaks, more than $3 million to continue operating the free-bus system in Acadia National Park, and a roughly $424,000 guardrail replacement on the cliff edge of Black Canyon in Colorado’s Gunnison National Park, a project needed to rectify a 'significant safety hazard for visitors.'"

This is what happens when you elect the very worst that America has to offer. Everything of value gets reduced to ash.

Please ❤️ and share to demand a full forensic investigation into this scandal!

I'm still gobsmacked that Republicans in congress have allowed a pedophile to remain president. The credibility of America has never been lower.

@krassenstein While I'm glad this concentration camp is gone, you know that most of the money went into the pockets of these corrupt fascists.

It was all one big money laundering scam at the expense of the human rights of many innocent people.

MAJOR BREAKING: Florida officials have told contractors to begin dismantling “Alligator Alcatraz.”

All detainees have been transferred to other immigration detention facilities, reportedly in part because the Everglades site was so expensive to operate.

The facility lasted just one year. Estimated cost to taxpayers: $1.2 billion.

@Mountai09469224 @ML3democrats 😂 Trump just did what Netanyahu told him to do, and thought, "Hey, why not? Me & the boys can make a few billion more dollars, plus distract everyone from the Epstein files to boot!"
