Trump just made his inaugural exit from the $400 million Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar that will serve as Air Force One.
After taxpayers spend hundreds of millions upgrading the plane, Trump gets to keep it after leaving office.
Bradley Cooper is starring in a major hollywood film about january 6th directed by Sean Penn. the officers who were beaten that day are going to have their stories told to millions of people. justice comes in many forms. this is one of them.
Do you agree with Bradley Cooper?
Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
They spent $75 billion fighting Iran, then another $300 billion rebuilding Iran, just to reopen the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the war started.
USA the superpower 🤡🤡😂😂
📸 Great photo of @JoeBiden and @DrBiden with the Obamas, Bushes, and Clintons in Chicago today.
This is America. Not what is currently in the White House.
How the fuck do we have $300 billion to rebuild Iran after we spent $80 billion bombing it, when we don’t “have the money” for pediatric cancer research?
Joy Behar: “I’m so tired of Donald Trump, I can barely talk about him anymore. I am so sick of his stupidity, his dishonor, the way he talks about people, the way he presents himself to children, the way he curses and swears about people, the fact he’s so incompetent at what he does, the fact these Republicans stick by him no matter what. Why are Americans putting up with this?”
WHAT IRAN GOT:
•$300 billion
•Removed sanctions
•Control of Strait of Hormuz
•Maintains missile program
•No destruction of nuclear program
WHAT THE U.S. GOT
•Higher gas prices
•Billions spent
•No major objectives achieved
•Americans dead
We got fleeced.
Holy shit!! There are huge chunks of blue paint coming off the reflecting pool already…
It seems the peroxide loosened things up, yikes!!
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE.
WOW, everybody is there at the Grand Opening for the Obama Presidential Center: The Clintons, The Bushes, The Bidens, and of course The Obamas.
Every presidential family that matters. 🙏💪🏽
To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.
I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.
How are we supposed to give a flying fuck that Elon is a trillionaire when the guy literally used his power to END programs that fed the poorest people on Earth?
Fuck that selfish asshole, and fuck his trillion dollars helping nobody but his damn self.
