An image of destruction symbolizing what Trump has done to our democracy.
"When we consider the demolition of the East Wing of the White House, the AI video of the ordure bombing of Americans exercising their First Amendment right to assemble and seek redress of grievances, the actions tantamount to declaring war on Chicago, Portland, the D of C and other cities, the wholesale elimination of entire cadres of competence in our government (including our military and scientific research establishments and the wipeout of FEMA and Medicaid programs (among other things) it is clear that the question is not "Why does Trump hate us so much?"
The question is, "Why does Trump loathe himself so much that he treats the nation that elected him as President in such a horrifically destructive way?" - NY times comment
Trump is wrecking the White House the same way he is wrecking democracy… Trump is a destructive parasite living in the White House for free and he doesn’t intend to leave…- WaPo comment
Sometimes a graphic physical image, say embodied in a photo, can become a symbol of what's transpiring in a government, a nation. In this case, Trump's wanton wrecking ball to the White House - the People's House, not his - is emblematic of what this felon swine is doing to our democracy. And why the Saturday No King's rallies were so on target.
I mean, good grief, with the demolition of much of the East Wing, we the People are now seeing first hand in real time what the Trump roaches have in store for our democracy. Indeed, what these fecal slime have already wrought - as encapsulated in the NY Times comment at top. Did the fungal maggot Trump even consider that he needed permission to take a wrecking ball to the People's House? Of course not, because the swine firmly is convinced it's HIS house!
As Chris Hayes noted in his lead segment last night on ALL In, this reveals the level of contempt the tyrant inhabiting the White House has for the people as well as for their architectural heritage. What will he wreck next? The Washington Monument? After all, as Hayes noted, he already believes there is no one who will stop him - from doing anything he wants. The 6 pets of his on the Supreme Court? Dream on. The balless wonders in Congress? Yeah, right.
But there are those who care, though they lack any power to stop this lunatic from advancing in his destructive ways - from going after political opponents, to now extorting - or trying to - $230 million from taxpayers. To pay for his rightful prosecutions which he claims he was a "victim of".
One of those speaking out is Martha Joynt Kumar, a political scientist and professor emeritus at Towson University in Maryland. As she said yesterday - to a WaPo columnist:
“They’re wrecking it. And these are changes that can’t be undone. They’re destroying that history forever."
She's right. I told Janice yesterday that the next Dem president needs to redo all the havoc wrought by first ripping down the Traitor's planned "grand ball room." Then rebuilding the East Wing as it was before this architectural atrocity. But of course that will not be done, it's wishful thinking. The cost alone would be prohibitive, and no Democratic president would impose a further cost on the people to accomplish it.
Still, The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a nonprofit created by Congress to help preserve historic buildings, sent a letter Tuesday to administration officials, warning that the planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom “will overwhelm the White House itself,” which is about 55,000 square feet.
In other words, Dotard Bonespurs wants his egotistic eruption to occupy more space and be more imposing than the actual historical edifice.
Carol Quillen, National Trust’s CEO, citing two federal commissions that have traditionally reviewed White House additions, said:
"We respectfully urge the Administration and the National Park Service to pause demolition until plans for the proposed ballroom go through the legally required public review processes,”
But since the Trumper cockroaches infesting our government have no use for laws, or norms, that is a plaintive voice crying in the proverbial wilderness.
So we are stuck with Dotard's monstrosity, though it ought to be a constant reminder of the destruction he's wreaking all across the nation - including with his ICE thugs - and in the government itself. The latter including his lawless layoffs of federal workers, which Sen. Elizabeth Warren made clear he lacks the power to do.
But who's checking that unbridled, unconstitutional, lawless power? No one. Certainly not our neutered Reepo congress critters, who prefer to be Captain Bonespurs's pets, slaves, whores and lackeys. Even fawning over the pustule at cabinet meetings in a competition to see who can kiss his fat ass the longest. We are in a truly, sorry state, and don't look for help from the Supreme Court to stop him - not when six ardent, misguided theocrats sit on it.

Excerpt:
A demolition job that began Monday with the disappearance of
the White House’s eastern entrance advanced Tuesday with the destruction of
much of the East Wing, according to a photograph obtained by The Washington
Post and two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the
scene.
Photos of construction teams knocking down parts of the East
Wing, first revealed by The Washington Post on Monday,
shocked preservationists, raised questions about White House overreach and lack
of transparency, and sparked complaints from Democrats that President Donald
Trump was damaging “the People’s House” to pursue a personal priority.
And:
Excerpt:
President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay
him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him,
according to people familiar with the matter, who added that any settlement
might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or
those in his orbit.
The situation has no parallel in American history, as Mr.
Trump, a presidential candidate, was pursued by federal law enforcement and
eventually won the election, taking over the very government that must now
review his claims. It is also the starkest example yet of potential ethical
conflicts created by installing the president’s former lawyers atop the Justice
Department.
