“Lying Frump”

He lies when he pees,

He lies eating cheese,

He lies in the morning,

He lies in the breeze!

He lies in December,

He lies in July,

He lies on the ground,

And he lies to the sky!

He lies when he’s chewing,

He lies when he’s tweeting,

He lies when he’s losing,

He lies when he’s beating!

He lies for attention,

He lies for applause,

He lies just because—

Well, he lies just because!

He lies when he’s golfing,

He lies when he’s still,

He lies when he’s scheming,

And always will.

He lies when he whispers,

He lies when he shouts,

He lies so much

That the truth tapped out!

I think what we have to do is remove the FN ballroom and restore the West Wing

It's writing like this: "The list of donors/benefactors—tech moguls, media companies, defense barons, crypto hucksters—reads like a seating chart for the apocalypse," that makes me mark David Schuster's posts to read every time. Great reporting AND great writing in one package.

There was a documentary about The Apprentice genius himself.

He was bragging about how much asbestos he used in all of his buildings. He said he loved asbestos. He couldn't understand why there was any controversy about it. Stupid then. Stupid now. And dangerous as F!

That's him, denies all facts if they don't serve his purpose. He rewrites the rules to suit himself with no regard for anything or anyone but himself, his money and maybe some of his partners in crime. A disgrace to this country!

Add respirable silica dust, a quicker killer, to the mix and the East Lawn now qualifies as a Superfund Site.

I said it when Cliff first posted about the East Wing and I'm saying it again. This demolition is symbolic of what he is doing to our government - dismantling it and destroying it to replace it with something pompous and obscene. It is a physical reminder of what's really going on - a reminder we shouldn't ignore. Yes, I agree with you the Whitehouse has always been a symbol of integrity. But not now because we eliminated all the standards we used to hold the president to, and he has no integrity. This was spot on, David, but this line recaps our situation perfectly, "a nation that mistook swagger for leadership and deceit for competence". Well said, Sir! Thank you!!!

Elections have consequences and the majority of the people elected this con artist. Wake up America, before our democracy is destroyed by Putin’s Apprentice!

The majority DID NOT vote for him!! More people voted for either Kamala or 3rd party candidates then voted for him. NO Mandate!!’

It's past time to detain, arrest, and even dissappear the functionaries that execute the bits and pieces of the destruction of the U.S. Democracy. The guys in hard hats? Find the forman or site boss and jail him. Those idiot attorneys? Dissappear them on contempt of court charges. Send a message. "I was just doing my job" is no reason or excuse. Make others think twice (orthree times) about being part of that team.

Of course Trump tore down the West Wing, he is going to have an UFC Fight at the White House. Next there will be Professional Wrestlers jumping on each other from off the roof. Trump has been given the power to destroy the USA pretty much in full and Republicans have been it seems elected to help him destroy it all. After all this he might built a ballroom for all his Muslim Bosses from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, who did you all think this was for anyway? And since you can't turst anything out of the White House, you can assume that Trump has sold the Muslims the new ballroom or a large part there of.

Two interesting points. 1) he’s living in the WH now! 2) if he goes into the bunker? Voila, asbestos!

Just thinking, will the White House now need to be zoned off as a health hazard?

My dad died from mesothelioma. There was never any certainty of where he was exposed, so it was assumed to be "job related". By the time you find out you have it, it is decades after first exposure.

All those workers (and their families if they go home in contaminated clothing) will not realize the danger until far into the future. Long after trumps and maga are gone.
