Did you guys see this?? There are projected images popping all over D.C. adding to the swamp theme. 🤣

@JagsForever @TheRickWilson Many years ago I had a swimming pool business I called ‘Swamp Master.’ I would have loved this to be my logo. However, I did pay an artist friend of mine to create a business card…so there’s that. She did incredible work.

@JagsForever @TheRickWilson Did you create this, JoeJags?

Went back to the reflecting pool with a waterproof camera. Here’s what it looks like underwater where a section has peeled up and was removed.

@Reuters Is that a rubber based paint as opposed to an epoxy paint?

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both. Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.

@HumanityChad If only every parent recognized the empathy and compassion their little offspring had within them, I truly believe our world would be in a much better place. Nurture their tiny, shiny souls, y’all!

"The algae is still here, but the paint appears to be going away." $14 million down the drain for a reflecting pool that looks like Shrek's hot tub. The president took a "great interest" in this disaster, which explains why it's a complete and total peeling embarrassment.

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.

VIA~~~Charlie Thornton Let me tell you why I'm with the Brown folk and queer folk and the women folk - somebody just reminded me of this - I was born and raised less than 10 miles from where I live right now. I'm a white dude, a southern dude, I own a gun, I have a job, I vote,  I drink beer, I fish, I pay my taxes, I grew up raising hell and listening to the Allman brothers .... But the flag-waving Uber-patriots still come at me foaming at the mouth and telling me I'm not American enough, not straight enough, not man enough to be part of what they think belongs in "their America." Literally happened completely unprovoked about 10 minutes ago. Now, if these crazy jackasses come at me??? - when I have a redneck pedigree that goes back to the Civil War.... how much more are they gonna try to persecute people that aren't like me? I'm literally everything they say they want, except I won't vote for institutionalized racism and a war on women and queer folk. Screw them! Persecuting people and hating people is no way to go through life. Miss me with all that I'll be hanging with the womens and the queers and every color that the Good Lord made us in. And we will be looking better and eating better and having hell a lot more fun. Bet on that.

I’m sorry?! We’re giving a 700 acre wildlife reserve to a trillionaire for free? Whyyyyy???

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

1. Trump is shitting on the White House on purpose. Defiling historic grounds. Using historic offices for dressing rooms for wrestlers! 2. Using the US military in uniform to line the walkways of the Lincoln memorial for wrestler weigh-ins, &the entrance to the stage for fighting!🚩🆘

Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”

@HunterBiden @JShepardini2 Like LBJ and Truman before him, 46's stature will only grow with time. He did more with less than in president maybe in history, and did it all with honor, which will be a sharp contrast with the clown that came before and followed him. History will be very kind to Joe Biden.

Take heed
