the "mushroom" works any longer? With his drug abuse, failing cardiovascular system, and god knows what else, I think the "mushroom" died long ago. Of course his spoors live on with Don Jr. and Barron. Gums is henpecked.as all get-out, so he's out of circulation.

America was a land of opportunity that we allowed to be bought by the most greedy criminals in history. We had safe guards that were trashed like the East Wing. And about 35% of us are cheering on the destruction, while calling those of us objecting, terrorists.

It's truly sickening. The waste, fraud, abuse and cruelty in the name of Jesus.

Miller and company have sidelined Trump. They know his childish obsessions. He is in his playpen with his ballroom while they execute Project 2025. Periodically they lift him out and feed him a few lines to recite and then they return him to the playpen. Trump is so demented he doesn’t know what’s going on. Sure he gets bits and pieces, but doesn’t grasp the whole picture. Wouldn’t matter. If he did he would approve of everything. It’s a perfect setup. Until the wrecking ball no one (except those 75 million Harris voters) realized just what was going on.

We need to rename the East Wing "the Epstein Ballroom," while the media is still paying attention.
If we don't do it now, it's gonna be too late by tomorrow.

This whole thing proves that Trump's mind
is totally gone.

He needs toys to play with, people to kidnap,
starve, or kill; and countries to bomb.

His lunatic stooges are giving him all of this,
and I really think they'll keep him busy with
his sadistic playthings while they play out
their worst nazi fantasies.

The man should be in prison for any # of reasons not in the White House. The system that let Trump go unpunished was part of the biggest criminal syndicate in history. That picture alone should have ended his career in everything.

And another Epstein distraction for sure. Doing it while government shut down is not an accident. Maniacal. Watch out for carrier group with 5K troops in South America. We could be at war very soon. HE is a domestic enemy "from within" and needs to be removed. Only problem is then it's JD and Hegseth.

Wait and see.

When Trump gets too deep in self made shit, his basic urge is to destroy and build.

The ghost of Epstein looming over him, tariffs not working, people complaining - yep, he has plenty of things to worry about.

So Donny, knock it down, erect something tasteless in its place, like you have always done.

...people thinking it is merely another Epstein coverup distraction is perfectly fine with Emperor Tangerine. Any good magic trick needs distraction from the real action taking place while everyone else is looking where the magician wants them to.

A bunker; a war room--what is actually being built? Why would this project be funded by outside sources if the People's House really needed a new ballroom? Why wouldn't normal protocols and historical integrity be followed? Why would it be rushed through during a government shutdown? Why does congress get no say in this project or visibility into it?

Dementia Don has big plans here, and we ignore that possibility at our own peril IMO.
