Miller: “The tragedy is a political party and a movement that has ripped down our statues, our monuments, our holidays, our heroes, our heritage,” Miller continued, ignoring the fact that the Trump administration has itself called for the removal of statues that do not align with its version of history.

“The Republican Party under President Trump celebrates beauty again and beautification again, and just as President Trump has beautified Washington D.C., now he’s repairing, finally, an area of the White House that has been left in disrepair for decades.”

    Polling shows that just 33 percent of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s changes. That number drops to 24 percent when specifically asked about the demolition of the East Wing.

    I bet this is the same sort of people - in some instances, maybe the exact same people, literally - that supported Nixon even after he got on the helicopter and flew away in utter shame.

    I mean…who the fuck would support this? No one asked for this and the pedo-in-chief didn’t get permission from anyone.

      I’m completely convinced that if 0% supported what trump specifically does, 30%+ of those morons would still vote for him. Or not vote at all. Same difference.

      I’m hoping the construction crew lose all licenses they may have. Whoever has been dping the work absolutely does not have the permits necessary for demolition or any of the new construction.

      I love that the US is being sued and there is a request for an immediate stop to all work while the legalities are established. I’m surprised there isn’t a lawsuit from an historical preservation society of one kind or another.
