If not, why not?

Isn’t there some kind of restraining order that could keep Trump from vandalizing any more of our historical places? Are we really without any means of protection against his deliberate wreckage? Are we really going to let this syphilitic brat laugh in our faces as he continues on his tour of destruction? Have we become so inured to his wanton mockery of our laws and institutions that we just shrug it off and wait for him to be gone?

This is not in the least acceptable and yet I don’t hear a peep from anyone in Congress or the military, for that matter.

Of an Irish Pub that was heritage listed. Loved the idea of these guys in prison.

Corkman Pub demolition developers jailed for contempt of court

Developers who demolished a historic Melbourne pub have been jailed for a month and ordered to pay more than $400,000 in fines and legal costs.

Raman Shaqiri and Stefce Kutlesovski illegally demolished the Corkman Irish Pub in Carlton in 2016, and were sentenced after being found guilty of contempt of court by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).

The Melbourne City Council and State Government sought to have the men held in contempt for failing to comply with VCAT orders, which compelled them to clear the site so it could be transformed into a public park.

The men had previously pleaded guilty to breaching building and planning laws when they knocked down the 158-year-old pub.

It’s obvious that Krasnov respects nothing —but his own opinion of himself…

I’ll re-read the article + get mad all over again…

My daughter will be coming to help with the move. She is very decisive and keeps me on my toes when she's here.

Making that transition can be so difficult... May your memories of that place you called home
sustain you + bring you comfort going forward.

Take photos of everything + put them somewhere safe. Consider having them printed (my kids
+ I made albums at Kinko's) Give a copy to your daughter. This will help. After losing all in the
Camp Fire (as did my parents), I am thankful we took lots of pictures.

Wishing you all the best... We're here for you...

VP - "Bet I can make him tear down the WH while he's living there"
MBS - "You're on. $100 million. In gold. Not your phony crypto."
VP - *ring...ring* "donnie, tear down the WH. This week."
TSF - "Okay, Boss."

existing WH as part of building the ballroom.

Ben, of course, is against it, but this a way to stop any further damage. So he put "the call" out to lawyers listening.
