Umm -- exactly WHERE were renderings of the ballroom posted? None went through the building departments which is where these are usually seen.

Hard to argue with the simple "peachy" example.

I've been visualizing this scene and -- my goodness -- you certainly are imaginative.๐Ÿคฃ

GO CALIFORNIA on vote YES on Prop 50. (I've already mailed my ballot. Not bragging, just old and those fqers aren't going to take away my vote.)

Add in the costs of ICE and the immigrant concentration camps. I would LOVE to see that $$$ figure.

If you say it, Diaper Donny, YES -- it is very hard to believe.

Why does it seem so many men (for most part) who espouse these remarks are the very ones who are the creeps -- child sexual abusers and/or child porn freaks.

On my walk this morning, I stopped and watched tiny industrious ants building their nest in a harsh, unpromising place. Somehow it was very encouraging boost for my day.

Ummm. A large truck with a lift ladder drives up, maneuvers, extends the ladder to a second story balcony, and no one noticed?

Once more Dictator Donny accidentally reveals his real situation -- that of sh*tting all over Americans.

Sad not to have this growing up experience: as one of 9 and on a farm, so many times of doing things we weren't supposed to, getting hurt and making our pact of "don't tell Mom."

My spouse and I have voted and mailed our YES on Prop 50 ballots.

Hope the result of No KIngs Day will spur Democrats to build a strong message (as well as new candidates) for the coming elections.

My cat has one. It's a bit grotty and chewed, but beloved.

Mission accomplished. The ONLY true posting by DT47 : "Sh*tting on America.

Appalled but not surprised. DT47 shows what he has done (sh*t all over America). The general national media has difficulty dealing with reality.

Yes -- love this series -- it's good crazy.

I am one of them. At 83 I think the Democrats need to get their message together and line up some some new candidates -- which will require some of the elderly stalwarts to relinquish their seats and help those new standard bearers.

Do the rest of the world what he is doing to America.

Probably nothing to MAGA. For the Democrats a wake-up call to unite and find their message, line up new political candidates, and get out the vote.

My son in St. Louis marched in No Kings Rally. He said a big rally despite a steady rain.

I am unable to physically attend any demonstrations. I can only cheer from the sidelines.
