For years the rest of us have been told that America is one long screaming match, a place where you cannot buy a sandwich without somebody turning it into a constitutional crisis. Then the World Cup turned up, and with it a few hundred thousand Europeans whose only agenda was locating the next beer. There were Scotsmen in kilts serenading Boston at half six in the morning with bagpipes, and the neighbours actually enjoyed it. There were Germans reduced to tears by the spiritual majesty of a Waffle House at one in the morning. Not a single argument about anything that matters, because nothing mattered except the match and the length of the queue at the bar. It turns out the thing America needed all along was not a president or a policy. It was a stadium full of foreigners having a gloriously uncomplicated, magnificently lubricated good time. Make America great again? Simple. Import several thousand thirsty Europeans and point them at the big screen. Stay connected, follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

OOF: The plaintiffs who unsuccessfully sued trying to stop Trump from renovating the Reflecting Pool have just uncorked a scathing update to the judge "This is the foreseeable result of defendants’ decision to bypass the consultative process required by law and which must occur before the government can alter our nation’s most sacred spaces" "It should go without saying, Congress required agencies to consult with experts and public before making changes to historic properties for a reason. The public is now witnessing what happens when, instead, agencies barrel ahead with ill-conceived plans in a hasty manner to meet an arbitrary deadline imposed by the White House"

The BALLROOM didn’t cost taxpayer money. The secure hospital and military operations center UNDER the Ballroom cost taxpayer money. You got a problem with the White House having a hospital? PS other countries DID pay the tariffs. Some Demorat sued the gov’t and the Supreme Court forced us to refund them. I for one am glad you’re a *former* Republican. I’m sure the idiot brigade you joined loves you.

@YpsiGal @MikeLevin @FralvarTico He's not taking his plane 😂. He doesn't own it, the Air Force does. It will remain in service until the VC-25Bs are finished. Then the Air Force will demilitarize it and put it in his presidential library. Not donate it to Trump himself.

This would be a scandal that would have ended any other presidency. Qatar gave a $400 million Boeing 747 to the Pentagon. Trump calls it a “free” gift. It is not free. The Air Force just spent months retrofitting it with secure communications, missile defense, and electromagnetic shielding. The cost of that work is classified. Estimates say north of a billion. The number is enormous, and you are paying it. Now the part they bury. Under the memorandum signed by the Pentagon and Qatar, ownership of the plane transfers to Trump’s presidential library foundation when he leaves office. His own son says it will sit in the lobby of a future Trump hotel. So follow the chain. A foreign government hands a luxury jet to a sitting president. American taxpayers rebuild it from the inside out. Then Trump takes it home. A gift you use for four years and then keep is still a gift. The Constitution bars foreign gifts to a president without the consent of Congress. This one never got that consent. We are paying a fortune to gift wrap a luxury jet that ends up in his private collection. Grift in plain sight. cbsnews.com/news/air-force…

@MikeLevin I have no problem with this, I'm much more concerned with the Communist takeover of our country. It's gut wrenching. The President deserves restitution for the illegal unAmerican lawfare Dems put him through. He's done more good for us than any president in decades.

@HunterBiden Your dad allowed breasts to be flashed on the White House lawn and allowed a known drug addict into the White House. You need to sit this one out. For at least 50yrs.

Dear Joe, I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House. For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that. And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand. My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment. The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for. This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it. But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is: “This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.” The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy. The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar. The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker. The President is our servant. Not our Caesar. Respectfully, Hunter P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
