The Trump Administration was clearly lying about the reasons for their mass felling of trees in East Potomac last weekend.
They were lying to conceal from the American people that, at a time when our country is at war and everyone is worried about the economy and high prices, the President simply doesn’t care—he’s focused on building an upscale golf course within walking distance of the White House. And on his fancy ballroom and his memorial arch to himself.
The design he’s pursuing would block off roads and paths used by large numbers of local residents for cycling and walking, no doubt to make the area another exclusive hangout for Trump’s rich and powerful friends.
And once again he’s doing all of that at great expense, on your dime.
Breaking: Trump says he'll close East Potomac golf course Nov 15 and begin his overhaul
"The current Course is old, broken, dilapidated, and of no further use or effect," Trump wrote.
Officials didn't immediately respond to Qs about cost

Folks, I’m having talking point problems. When I tell people the Democrats will try to jail Trump, everybody just says “good” except this one Merrick Garland guy. He seems neutral.

BREAKING: A debate moderator asked a GOP Senate candidate last night, “You said recently the Iran War must come to an end, so what is one thing you’ll do to force Trump to end it?” and the Republican stared blankly and open-mouthed for 9 seconds before finally saying, "Pass."

But Trump says this isn’t happening because his good friend President Xi told him that it wasn’t and Trump said Xi would never lie to him because he respects him too much.

"The Outfit" (1973) is one of the most unique and underseen gangster films of all time. It has style, swag and everything else associated with a great revenge flick. I feel it is one of those movies that could have only been made in the 1970s. Robert Duvall excels in the role that feels out of character for him. Robert Ryan doesn't disappoint either. Only he could have done that. Karen Black and Joe Don Baker are also magnificent. The ending to the movie is one of the best in Cinema history.

A long way from that bookstore and Mr. Bogart...I think it's safe to say that Miss Dorothy Malone interests us a bit more than "vaguely"

If you haven’t seen it, watch it.
This is how 60 IQ points and the right side of history demolishes a racist little boy who used to work for Josh Hawley.
No one in politics is better at this.

Three Facts:
•Tommy wasn't a voter. He was a Christian Nationalist plant by Josh Hawley.
•Tommy isn't worried religious law superseding our Constitution. He admitted he's trying to enact Christian Shariah above the Constitution.
•Zero corporate media outlets will report on how the Muslim Senate Candidate is running to uphold the Constitution, and the Christian sitting Senator is governing to enforce Christian Shariah.
They're not afraid of losing our Constitution. They're afraid of competition.

“A young Michigan voter” who just happens to be a former Josh Hawley employee and the son of a prominent GOP strategist.
The lies continue from the right.
Abdul El-Sayed lashes out at Tommy, a young Michigan voter for asking him to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood, a Muslim terrorist organization that his family has ties to, prompting @AOC to say that anyone who asks him about the matter is racist. The encounter comes just eleven days after he refused to criticize Al-Qaeda, Hamas or Hezbollah during a @FoxNews interview.
Bob Strauss retweeted
Considering the Muslim Brotherhood has never enslaved humans in the US,
I think it’s fair to ask all candidates if they disavow the Confederacy.
Now that @AbdulElSayed has been asked to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood because of his mother’s alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood before he was born, will we be asking Donald Trump to disavow the Ku Klux Klan because of his father’s alleged ties to the KKK in the 1920s?

Wow! If this doesn't get the cost of groceries and gas down, nothing will. Well done, Mr. President.
I am pleased to announce that the Department of the Interior, under the auspices of Secretary Doug Burgum, and in conjunction with famed Golf Course Architect, Tom Fazio, has developed a plan to build a World Class Championship Golf Course on the site of the current East Potomac Golf Links, located in Washington, D.C. When completed, it will be open to the Public while, at the same time, designed to the Highest Level of Golf and able to hold World Class Tournaments such as the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship, the Ryder Cup, and the Presidents Cup. This Course will create many Jobs, and have a tremendously positive Economic Development impact on Washington, D.C., and the surrounding area. Millions of Dollars will inure to the Capital area. The current Course is old, broken, dilapidated, and of no further use or effect. It is in very poor condition, with falling, dangerous, and disease infested trees and, importantly, a collapsing and hazardous seawall. When the East Potomac Course was originally built, it was famous for no trees, with views of Washington, D.C., for all to see, but now, it is completely overgrown, dysfunctional, and unsafe. Restoration work will begin on the Fazio Design on November 15th, when the old Course will be closed to play. The new Course will be opened in approximately 15 months. The United States Golf Association, PGA of America, and the PGA Tour have already been notified that they will soon have one of the Best and Most Spectacular Golf Courses anywhere in the World to put on their list of great places to play, and hold Major Events. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The largest donor in the history of the GOP uses his massive social media platform to promote far-right, eliminationist, pro-Putin, and sometimes even pro-Hitler propaganda. Now here's another article about how Democrats must distance themselves from Hasan Piker.

Iron Maiden had a song about the North American genocide. Slayer had a song about the Holocaust. Black Sabbath had War Pigs ffs. You're just a mental toddler who never once paid attention.

10 THINGS THE U.S. MIDDLE CLASS HAS BEEN EXPECTED TO ACCEPT AS NORMAL
1. Two full-time incomes just to afford the basics.
2. Paying more for groceries while getting less.
3. Relying on a credit card to cover an unexpected car repair.
4. Owning a paid-off home that still costs more and more to maintain.
5. Working overtime without receiving extra pay.
6. Delaying doctor or dentist visits because of the cost.
7. Adult children moving back home because they can’t afford rent.
8. “Good jobs” that offer no pension and little job security.
9. Child care so expensive that working barely seems worth it.
10. Being told to budget better while the cost of nearly everything keeps rising.
