Quote :
"Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado rang in her Nobel Peace Prize victory Friday by dedicating the award to the people of Venezuela fighting for freedom — and President Donald Trump, who has publicly lobbied for the prize for himself.
“We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy,” she wrote on X. “I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause."

He basically assured that he won't ever get it, which plays well with his perpetual victim complex. If they would give it to him after he lobbied for himself, that would certainly and rightly be viewed as politically influenced. He could have just tried to earn it by doing good and not acting like a total shithead all the time. But I think he probably gets a lot more capital out of complaining about not winning it and how unfair it is.

Its literally just a training facility for the F-15Q jets they already bought from us. Its inside an existing AF base under our jurisdiction.

Its not a Qatari military base in any way/shape/form. They will be training along side our own personnel because our own F-15EX was developed from the Q model.

But yes I agree, imagine if Obama did it, people would indeed be going apeshit. That's what they do. However its not a reason to do what they do.

George Santos is the 10th GOP Congressman to get a pardon or clemency from President Trump.
The other nine lawmakers were also all convicted of crimes:
Chris Collins NY - insider trading
Duncan Hunter CA - campaign corruption
Steve Stockman TX - campaign corruption
Rick Renzi AZ - corruption
Robin Hayes NC - lying to the FBI
Mark Siljander MI - obstruction, lying
Duke Cunningham CA - bribery Michael Grimm NY - tax evasion
John Rowland CT - corruption

"


So Republican politicians can’t be charged with crimes anymore

It's actually amazing. Santos literally made videos praising Trump--it's obviously fake because he wants a pardon--and he gets it. That's literally all there is to it. And yeah, what Cozman said, just about undoing what the libs like... which is a stable and functioning country apparently

https://archinect.com/news/article/150506025/as-white-house-starts-demolition-for-trump-s-ballroom-architects-discuss-preservation-and-permit-concerns

Turns out the design, renderings, and footprint arent even the worst part.

Quote :
"For those not familiar with how this was supposed to work when the White House is to be renovated.

1. Initial Proposal: The White House is managed by the National Park Service (NPS) but used by the Executive Office of the President (EOP). Any proposed change, even by a sitting president, begins internally through the Office of the Curator and the White House Facilities Management Division.

2. Historic Review: The NPS, as custodian of the White House under the Presidential Residence Act and National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), must review all alterations for compliance with Section 106 of the NHPA. This requires assessing potential impacts on historic and cultural resources in consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and the D.C. State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).

3. Planning & Environmental Oversight: The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) evaluates all major federal projects in the National Capital Region, including work on the White House grounds, for design, planning, and environmental impacts under NEPA (the National Environmental Policy Act). Public comment and design reviews are part of that process.

4. Aesthetic Review: The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) reviews and advises on the design and appearance of any exterior modifications to the White House or its grounds.

5. Final Authorization: After approvals from NPS, NCPC, and CFA, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the White House Chief Usher / Facilities Management Office finalize funding, scheduling, and logistics.

Only after completing this full process could any major construction or demolition legally begin.

Yet Trump ignored every step, acting unilaterally through executive order, bypassing oversight, and ordering demolition as if he were a monarch. The result: the people’s house, altered without the people’s consent.

More details:

Section 107, let’s talk about it.

The above process has always been the process taken, and here’s why.

Section 107 of the National Historic Preservation Act exempts the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and the Supreme Court from being legally required to go through the Act’s formal Section 106 review. In other words, the law doesn’t automatically force those branches to follow the same procedures as other federal buildings. That exemption exists only because each branch of government controls its own seat of power, it was never intended as a free pass to ignore preservation, planning, or environmental rules altogether.

There are still plenty of rules, procedures, and laws that must be followed to renovate the White House.

In practice, every administration since the 1960s has followed the same review structure out of duty, accountability, and executive-branch policy. The White House is still federal property, managed by the National Park Service under the Presidential Residence Act and subject to Executive Order 11593, which requires federal agencies to protect and consult on historic resources.

Major exterior or site work still triggers National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) and U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) design reviews, along with NEPA environmental assessments. Any project involving government resources must also comply with the Anti-Deficiency Act and federal ethics rules on funding and gifts.

Section 107 means the NHPA can’t force compliance, but presidents are still bound by a network of executive orders, planning statutes, environmental laws, and constitutional duties. That’s why the process described isn’t optional, it’s the framework that has always protected the people’s house from unilateral or politically motivated alteration.

These executive orders:

- Executive Order 11593 (1971) – Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment - Requires all federal agencies (including the Executive Office of the President) to “locate, inventory, and nominate to the National Register all properties under their control” and to consult with the Secretary of the Interior before altering historically significant structures. (Demolishing part of the White House without such consultation would conflict with this order.)

- Executive Order 12148 (1979), delegates emergency and historic property responsibilities to the Department of the Interior, reaffirming that federal agencies must protect historic resources even when exemptions exist."

your theory of mind for trump/maga/gop is not working for you. from their pov they just spent a decade being called white nationalist Nazis for every single thing they've ever tried to do. They're not interested in process or public input any longer. They're just doing things. And if people on the left scream foul, they're just gonna troll you with more government accounts posting memes on bluesky to ragebait you while they go ahead implementing their plans while you're distracted.

Trumps approval rating is at 37% literally the worst of any president in polling history. The gop is panicking about electoral wipeouts being predicted by focus groups and polls. Just from a self preservation aspect they should be worried about public sentiment from “their own” side.

Also they are actually white supremacist and Nazis, it’s not that is what people are calling them.

Texas as a swing state is the holy grail

Biggest danger is the anti-trans rhetoric picking off enough Black voters.
