Donald Trump is facing legal action over the demolition of the White House’s East Wing, part of a $300 million plan to build a new ballroom on the executive grounds.
A Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees, filed an emergency motion in federal court on October 23 seeking to halt the project, alleging that it violates multiple federal preservation and planning laws.
The founding fathers would be turning in their graves. This time line is fked man. He’s going to rig the next election if he doesn’t get rid of elections all together. One thing he doesn’t realise is dictatorships like RUS and China have unarmed controlled citizens.
The USA has the most heavily armed population on the planet.
He’s fucking with fire and he is absolutely going to be burnt.
Bro just bulldozed history for a ball room… Insanity.
The most American thing to say. When they are really cowards holding onto their guns cause they’re scared.
And yet you’d think with the whole right to bear arms and use it against kings would have kicked in already tho.
They still just use the guns on children and minorities.
This has been the most anticlimactic flex I’ve ever seen.
We will not be forgetting this one should another gun toting citizen from the US boast their reasons of the constitution.
Prepare to have this thrown in all the faces for generations to come.
I am still waiting for Americans to use their guns to rise up against tyranny instead of using them to shoot minorities
In an all out war, (which I doubt will happen) all these guns in the population don’t matter against drones, aircrafts, tanks and trained snipers or other soldiers. If the military and all other agencies decides to support Trump, all these weapons will be useless. The pentagon surely has plans for a civil uprising in their own country.
I don’t think the US has enough ordinary citizen that would actually risk their lives for democracy, to make a difference. Media and social media is controlled by the oligarchy, and even the progressives don’t seem to want to cut themselves loose of twitter, Facebook/Whatsapp, google, bluesky, discord and so on. Where would they even organize?
Well the citizens of Afganistán and Vietnam proved this wrong. Never underestimate guerrilla warfare
Sure, but we are talking about the US here.
Or are you all busy building tunnels and bunkers over there? Organise in your neighborhood and build local groups?
Pretty sure that if the media starts calling these guerrillas terrorists, anti-american, instigators of violence, Communists, Antifa, and so on, they will loose public support and without broad local support in the population, guerilla fighting will not work.
Afganistán and Vietnam fought guerilla against a foreign invasion. US would have to fight ‘guerilla’ against their neighbors and other Americans, against people like them… I don’t think this is comparable.
Implying the national guard and now heavily armed PDs of all the states support the federal coup, and don’t instead go full guerilla
THRONE room!
How much of that heavily armed population are Trump supporters though?
Not as many as there’d need to be.
Hopefully we won’t find out. Feel like there’s heavily tilted scale towards Trump/republicans when it comes to gun ownership as the other side tends to be more for restricting gun ownership.
Those are the optics, but is it true?
