As the Iran war enters its twelfth week and inflation hits new highs, the Senate is locked in a bitter parliamentary fight over how to fund Trump's ballroom.
Thank you. I think you are my favorite reporter. I hate this man and right now I hate our government. But I won’t leave because it’s my country. Our country. Will this madness end soon because if this only the beginning I will have to leave for my mental health.
Thank you, Miles, for this great incite into the decline and twisted priorities of the GOP Senate. It is preposterous that obtaining funding to build this vanity project is getting placed ahead of the needs of the American people. Regardless of their gerrymandering efforts and the SCOTUS neutering the Voting Rights Act, the GOP will be voted out in November.
This version of the Republican Congress is the weakest in my memory. They are spineless (apparently, also brainless). They resemble a tidal pool of jellyfish fish. I'm sorry if I offended you jellyfish.
Ballroom, arch, Ultimate Fighting Whatchamicallit, Formula One race around the streets of DC. Well, I for one am 'delighted' that trump has all this spare time between planning these things & his next heist from the Treasury, & all that 'truthing' he does from 0 dark 30 to morning light 30! What a guy to take up all his time beautifying DC while fucking destroying the rest of the country.
I wonder will we see him travel to hurricane ravaged Gulf of MEXICO states (yeah, I said Mexico, so send your goons after me for being unAmerican!) should this be a bad hurricane year. Have you noticed, there has been no estimate of the number of named storms for this season yet. And we all know that should a blue state burn to the ground there will be no aid forthcoming. (The people of the LA fires are still waiting for aid!)
So I am not the least bit surprised, oh I'm outraged but not surprised, by the Senate bowing to their master. They really should all bend over & spread their cheeks to make it easier for them to be butt-fucked by the abuser in chief!
So sorry for that disgusting image but to take it even further~~~ we'd see them jostling to be the first to get the shaft!
Please recall that it is Indy cars that will be wastefully racing on the streets of DC, not F1. F1 team owner Gene Haas (US based) kicked the Russian fertilizer company Uralkali (who sponsored Russian driver and oligarch nepo-baby Nikita Mazepin) and Mazepin (aka Maze-spin) himself out of F1 in March of 2022 when Putin invaded Ukraine. Slava Ukraini!
In my home state of Iowa, wind power is now the single largest source of electricity on our grid — more than 60% of our power comes from wind, the highest percentage of any state in America. Yet not one of our Republican politicians has confronted Trump’s demented rantings about “windmills.” They are more anxious to stay in The Donald's good graces than to stand up for the citizens and industries they were elected to represent.
Great comparison to Nero's Golden House!! Trump loves gold everywhere - especially his (temporary) Oval Office. I can only imagine how this Ballroom would evolve into an explosion of gold.
I am so disgusted with what our elected representatives have become. It sickens me that the electorate isn’t shouting from the rooftops about all of this.
JFC, it's been a decade since I thought / hoped they'd come to their senses. And now, as you've masterfully laid out, they are the epitome of cultist sycophants, having completely abandoned their constituents and their Oaths.
The only good thing I can see possibly coming out of this is it's out in the open, on full display. We, the Defiant, need to optimize the situation as part of the Too Big to Rig campaign.
I can't believe we pay taxes for this shit...
(Pardon my French, all, but if the Florsheim fits...)
bruh, this is like the 12th time he's said "you've got till the count of three..." I'm not complaining that he's not decimating an entire country anymore than he already has, but read the room & just stop ... I can't say the news about the Congress shocks me, they've been lame for a while now, but yes I can't help to think about the fall of Rome when news breaks. Or Hitler.... nothing says Hitler like a trump tweet....🤦🏻♀️ I love all you wonderful people, you're a big reason I maintain optimism.❤️
OMG what a bunch of corruption! And it's amazing how they LOVE THEIR MONEY and LITTLE MORE! The fact that they are going to bend over backwards to get funds of that Monstrosity of a Ballroom and little more pretty much tell the people of the USA just where "their" priorities lie. And I can tell you it isn't with the people of this country it's to save their jobs and kiss others asses.
You're in the right direction, Miles, but way too gentle and polite. The Senate is composed of a collection of brain-dead individuals...many of them enjoying life in the most exclusive and luxurious nursing home in the world. (Looking at you, Senator Grassley, aged 92)
France in the late 1700s is looking better and better every day.
This sickens me! I do thank you for trying to get the truth out there- I’m feeling pretty hopeless these days- Learning there are so many horrible people who have the keys to the castle
Decorating Committee???!!! With their evident lack of anything approaching good taste by supporting DJT. Only if it had the same structure as the one the Jan. 8th rioters had for Pence!!!
the plot sickens

Precisely why I have vowed to never again pull a Republican lever in a voting booth!
I did that a long time ago.

Uuuuphh--hard read, but spot-on, Miles.

How about no funding for the ridiculous ballroom? Security concerns…be better, you know people no one wants to hurt.
