Dear @realDonaldTrump
Stop blaming your incompetence and failures on Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
All these fuck ups are YOURS and YOURS alone.
You coward. You child. You are an embarrassment.

@dustyimoo70 @BizNasty2point0 @NHL_On_TNT @spittinchiclets And all former @LAKings 😋
We need to get back to that strong goalie development.

Goalie coaches don't get talked about much in hockey media.
Catching @BizNasty2point0 bring it up on TNT — and name Peter Budaj (now goalie coach for the Ducks) and Jack Campbell specifically — felt like a nice little moment for the position. Couldn't agree more: Stick taps to all the goalie coaches out there 🏒
Thanks Biz. 🙏

MAGA is melting down after buyers got an email confirming they will never get their Trump Phones, or even get their deposits back.
An estimated 590,000 people reportedly paid a $100 deposit each, roughly $59 million collected, and not a single confirmed customer has received a phone.
And remember, this thing was supposed to be “Made in America.” But if it ever gets made at all, it’ll reportedly be made in China.
Trump knows his base is full of suckers, and they keep proving him right.

This is getting wild now 👀
So I started looking at the ballroom after digging into the Reflecting Pool yesterday. I’m starting to see some patterns.
The playbook works like this. Pick your contractor personally. Invoke “Unusual and Compelling Urgency” to skip competition. Use the 250th anniversary as the justification. Inflate the price. Don’t disclose who’s actually doing the work. Repeat.
Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. $13.1M. No bid. No competition. Justification: “Unusual and Compelling Urgency” 250th anniversary. Contractor: Atlantic Industrial. Zero prior federal contracts. No pool or monument experience. The subcontractor doing the actual work doesn’t appear anywhere in the justification documents.
Now the ballroom. Trump personally selected Clark Construction to build his $400M White House ballroom. Clark is already on site with people and equipment. Then NPS quietly awards Clark a separate $17.4M no-bid contract to fix two fountains in Lafayette Park directly across the street. Never posted publicly. Never competitively bid. The justification? Clark was already nearby. That’s it.
The original estimate for those fountains in 2022 was $3.3M. The consultant who wrote that estimate said the administration literally took his cover page and added millions with no itemization. Final price: $17.4M. Same urgency exemption. Same 250th anniversary justification.
Both contracts bypassed competitive bidding. Both used the same urgency exemption. Both cited the same 250th anniversary. Both awarded to contractors with direct Trump connections. The Lafayette Park contract was never posted in public federal spending databases. The Reflecting Pool contract was posted but the subcontractor doing the primary work appears nowhere in the paperwork.
Combined taxpayer bill: over $30 million. Combined competitive bids received: zero. This urgency exemption has been used in less than 1% of NPS contracts over the past decade. They used it twice in the same year. For birthday decorations.
Senator Blumenthal is already demanding answers on the Lafayette Park contract by May 15th. The Reflecting Pool has a Cabinet secretary photographed on site and a subcontractor with an expired federal registration that isn’t mentioned anywhere in the contract documents.
This isn’t two separate stories. This is one story. The 250th anniversary isn’t just a celebration. It’s a billing mechanism. And taxpayers are footing the bill with zero say in who got the work or why..

Any one, feel free!
