If anything else caused this damage, we would be a national tragedy but we are so broken as a society that it won't be a blip on the radar.

One of the first phone conversations Trump had as President was with Rodrigo Duterte where they agreed on the extrajudicial murder of alleged drug dealers.

Trump, emboldened and addled minded, is finally taking the President's assassination abilities to their logical conclusion.

Much like that dude with the Confederate flag in January 6th, Trump has facilitated a symbolic victory our historic enemies could have only dreamed of.

This is gone and whatever replaces the East Wing, almost certainly temporarily, will be a physical monument to the failure of the American electorate unlike anything in this republic's history.

Remember that we are currently in a government shutdown, WW3 could literally start at any more, as could the Chinese invasion of Taiwan, and is barely a ceasefire in the Levant.

But chairs need to be gilded so the king's thoughts are elsewhere.

None of the legal channels were taken for this.

The same man who ordered an insurrection against this republic and then pardoned those who carried it out just unilaterally destroyed roughly 1/3 of an internationally iconic US historic site

Charge every single person involved down to the carpenters

Aside from ICE being thugs already, the mental and physical inability for agents to meet the requirements of their job result in excessive uses of violence, less than lethal weapons, and chemicals to compensate.

This leads to more needless assault, injury, and death by the DHS.

Once again the President has affirmed that you can commit any crime you want so long as he gets his cut of the score.

Look I am not going to pretend that I, a 33 y.o. Millenial, am supposed to get Gen Alpha humor. I am their parent's generation. That's the point.

But I am laughing at the slow build to a moral panic:

"Oh no, what do the children mean with their 6s and 7s?"

Thankful I don't have to hear it though.

The next Democrat running for President needs to have as Day 1 Policy that this East Wing Ballroom monstrosity will be condemned and destroyed.

The Democrats don't need to launch Operation Smaller Paperclick to beat Donald Trump.

Graham Platner needs to be utterly rejected by the Democratic Party and, if he stays in the race and wins, should be forced to be an Independent

Democrats have no leg to stand on fighting authoritarian bigotry if they carve out an exception for one Nazi whose vote they need in the Senate.

LIVE: Jeff Merkley delivers marathon Senate floor speech to protest Trumpโ€™s actions YouTube video by Associated Press

Sen. Jeff Merkley has been holding the Senate floor for more than eighteen hours straight. Give him a listen.

A Nazi tattoo is pretty disqualifying for Senate. It is genuinely wonderful and good and important for people to change their beliefs, and I don't want to discount that ever, but "I was drunk and dumb let's move on" isn't it.

โ€œWell, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. So maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally.โ€

So once an armed mob failed to overthrow the government and were pardoned for their crimes; they slipped back into the population and some are now coming back up as domestic terrorists?

Damn it, if only we had used those laws that exist literally to prevent that from happening again.

We're going to invade Venezuela based on nothing but lies from a Republican president and everyone alive for the Iraq War will not see any issues with that.
