Ah, now I get it. We heard “ballroom” when what he actually meant was “ball room” (in the kids’ playland).
Albert Pike. Wasn’t he a Mason?
Not just a Mason but the iconic Mason for conspiracy nutbags that might not take this news well if true.
Well, yeh, the women surrounding Trump, who it appears from photos all wear stiletto heels.
Oh jeez, this made me laugh 
Trump hates poor people so much he plans to send the National Guard after them.
Reuters: Trump vows to evict homeless from Washington, official says National Guard may be deployed
He claims it’s to stop crime, but:
The city’s police department says violent crime was down 26% in D.C. in the first seven months of 2025, compared with last year, while overall crime was down about 7%.
The Democratic mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser, said on Sunday the capital was “not experiencing a crime spike.”
Also:
The White House declined to explain what legal authority Trump would use to evict people from Washington. The Republican president controls only federal land and buildings in the city.
The only reason for this is cruelty.
There are 3,782 single persons experiencing homelessness on any given night in the city of about 700,000, says the Community Partnership, an organization working to reduce homelessness in D.C.
Most such individuals are in emergency shelters or transitional housing, rather than on the street, it says.
Yuck in general, but kudos for the clever use of the cultural reference.
Warning from another poster in a different forum about Russia:
*I worked with Lithuanian, Estonian and Latvians building the Australian National Gallery late 1970’s. Top people. My immediate boss, an engineer by profession told me of his father, a detective in the police force (Vilnius). *
*Molotov and Ribbentrop had signed the Nazi-Russo pact. When the Nazis attacked Poland the Russians invaded the three Baltic republics. *
*My boss told me he was six years old and at 0200 hrs lots of banging in their door, NKVD took my bosses father away, he looked out the window to see his father having to climb into a truck to join other similarly clad men (pyjamas, dressing gowns) and watch the truck drive away around the corner. He never saw his father again. *
The peoples of the Baltic have no reason to trust Russians. No one in their right mind would. See the result of today’s palaver between Donnie and Vlad, Trump has been played again.
100%. Just look at Vlad’s Cheshire Cat grin, as he rides in the famed ‘Beast’ (Presidential limo). (And of course Donnie’s minions would never think to check it for electronic devices slipped in during Vlad’s ride….)
He’s ex-KGB. What could possibly go wrong?
Dump owns himself. Admits he’s a tyrant.
Those tweets closer always reminds me of “Thank You for shopping at K-Mart” and the ugly green sticker on the cash register to remind people to say it.
‘TYFSAK’.
We are kindered spirits
But I wish I could fly Helicopters
He took the name of the late great (actually both) Lugosi in vain.
Or he recently was rereading the twilight books-wait no, he can’t read!
Or he has been listening to Bartok’s Cantata Profana.
I give up. What are your Bela theories?
I just keep imagining him screaming it a la Brando in Streetcar.
Nothing to worry about though I am sure.
It’s hot air. Per the article:
Trump also claimed states are “merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government” and must follow presidential orders on elections. That’s wrong: the constitution gives states control over how they conduct elections.
It gives him another issue to try to win back the MAGA folks angry over the Epstein fiasco. It won’t actually do anything though.
Yes you “former” Republicans also said that ending birthright citizenship was hot air. Yet here we are
Okay sock.
