The desecration of the White House is the last straw.

Rid us of this pestilence.

About the comnents: I wasn't lamenting to a higher power. It was more a statement to those who could make this happen.

It’s deliberate destruction of our national heritage. The AI video of him spraying excrement over protesters and our major cities is not just a vulgar expression of his anger over the protests. It is the embodiment of his hatred for the American public and his wish to immure us in his shit because it makes him feel powerful and less like the demented jerk he is. I do not think we will gave a functioning country by 2028, and the landscape of DC will be unrecognizable because once he has built his ostentatious ballroom, he is likely to destroy structures on the National Mall to build monuments to himself. I’m sure he would love to demolish the African American Museum and everything in it.

The disaster is more than trump.The people behind him, like Miller, can't be voted away.
If he melts away tomorrow, Vance becomes the public face of the same problem.

This isn't just trump. This is the entire republican party, the Heritage Foundation and Federalist society billionaires, and the supreme court. This goes deep and dark. And the entire country needs to wake up and see that our national heritage is what is hated by this cabal.

and we know where he ended up...

Perhaps we can put Trump in exile someplace. Maybe on the moon? Our space program could accomplish that, right?

Trump's last straw with me was during his first term when he increased the national debt to give trillions to the richest people in the US and gave peanuts to the rest of us.

I wouldn't know where to begin. It is like he is competing with himself to be even worse than he was the day before.

This is the end product of a more than a decades long Russian war on America.

Storm 15-16 is one of their weapons.

However, there is something about this project that has really struck a nerve. After the amazing No Kings protests this past weekend, it is ironic to have this happen two days later. Do we think that maybe this was planned all along as a gigantic FU to the nation? It made me physically ill and was more than a little offensive to me and really was like the final straw.

Is there nothing that can be done to stop the madman? I am serious. What will it take to end his reign of terror on us? Will Congress continue to sit on their hands? This is no time to just debate what needs to be done, Action is required.

hiding under their desk. At least they should have been there showing they are against destroying the WH. They would get public support from both sides.
