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.

@Latlantista Mah, fintanto che il Senato non conferma, e P&dOTUS ci mette più che probabili veti, purtroppo il punto positivo (comunque importante) del voto del Congresso rischia di essere un vicolo cieco. Sicuramente rimane un esempio che si spera detti una linea di maggiore "slancio".
It's time to close the loophole that feeds Irish raw materials from Limerick to Russia’s military industry.
It's time for effective EU sanctions.

Zelensky's letter is a feeler for a coup against Putin among the siloviki. Budanov on standby.
"[You] will have to fight much harder for your own existence — not Russia’s, but your own... It is a fact of Russian history that you know well: when Russia grows tired, change comes."
Serious question for all my gay friends, is Trump crushing on me or what? Posting pictures of me drawing his portrait in the middle of the night? Where’s Hunter? Lord knows he has my #. Seems like I’m in his dreams… even his little dreams during his many naps.
Mr. Trump - focus on Jaxson Dart he is more your type.
Wir wollen die Staaten des Westlichen Balkans so schnell wie möglich in der EU. Dass wir seit 13 Jahren keine Mitglieder mehr aufgenommen haben, zeigt auch Versäumnisse der EU. Die wollen wir heute überwinden. Mit dieser Botschaft bin ich zum Westbalkangipfel gereist.
FREDERIKSEN: We have learned a lot from Ukraine. You're able to produce faster, cheaper, and smarter than the rest of us, even though we're not at war. That's quite impressive, and quite embarrassing for the rest of Europe.
Europe still spends lot of time on lengthy processes, decision-making, and debating what is right and which capabilities we should buy in five or ten years. You simply get it done.
For me, defending Europe now means including Ukraine in Europe. Europe will not be able to do what needs to be done without Ukraine. In the beginning of the war, we were helping you. Now we depend on each other.

By supporting Ukraine, we deter aggression everywhere, combat authoritarianism and reaffirm that the United States does not abandon those who fight for freedom.
While some have been unwilling to stand up to Vladimir Putin, the Congress must.
Tonight, House Democrats did.
Il criminale di guerra Putin a proposito dello spaventoso deficit di budget russo nel 2026:
“Sentiamo critiche da tutte le parti che tutto è "finito" nella nostra economia. Sì, siamo sprofondati al livello in cui i Paesi dell'UE vivono da molti anni”.
Ormai tutti dovrebbero aver capito perché questa è una cazzata, però ripetiamolo.
È vero che molti Paesi occidentali (non tutti) spendono regolarmente più soldi di quanti ne guadagnano ogni anno, ma questo non è un grande problema, dal momento che esistono svariate istituzioni finanziarie private che prestano volentieri i soldi allo Stato: lo fanno come investimento piuttosto sicuro.
Di contro, come facilmente intuibile, nessuna istituzione finanziaria seria presterebbe mai anche solo un centesimo alla Federazione russa: la Russia, per colmare il proprio deficit di budget, può fare affidamento esclusivamente sulle proprie forze (i soldi dei cittadini, in pratica).
Dunque, le parole della vecchia blatta del Cremlino sono solo l’ennesima manipolazione deliberata in cui è importante non cadere.
Nona, Matteo per essere accolto nel campo largo si è astenuto sul nucleare, non ha dichiarato come ha votato sul referendum per la separazione delle carriere; ha votato una mozione per disconoscere gli impegni NATO; figurati cosa gliene frega dell’Ucraina che ha mollato da un pezzo. Se gli chiedessero di fare la pedicure a Conte per quattro posti in parlamento, lo vedresti con forbicine e limetta dopo un secondo.
Zelensky scrive a Putin per proporre un incontro faccia a faccia. La risposta è arrivata dopo poche ore: 11 morti e 68 feriti. Ma i guerrafondai siamo noi
Unfortunately, the Russian side once again chooses war – everyone heard the response today. Weak response. He simply does not want to end the war.
I think many around the world were disappointed by that response. He does not want to change anything, and he does not want to admit that this war appeals only to him – and to those who are making money off him. They were all smiling very broadly today.
That means Russia must have less money, and there must be more pressure on Russia.
I thank everyone who is helping us. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and wants a real peace.
There will be no peace: "Do your job, brothers," Putin said in an address to the military, according to Russian media reports.
With this, Putin rejects President Zelenskyy's open letter.
The fighting will end when Russia has achieved its goals—Putin.
What is so hard to understand about that statement? The perverse monster in the Kremlin does not want peace—Putin must be bombed to the negotiating table.
🚨🪖🇺🇦🇷🇺 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.
