I was doing a long bike ride last night, I like to ride way out into the central Indiana farm fields. Tons of crops out there, lots of soybeans, some corn. I stopped at a rural filling station for a cold drink. Was sitting on a bench outside when a guy pulled up. Big truck, F-250 or F-350, farm plates, lots of mud -- a working man's truck. He got out, a big strong guy, calloused hands, wearing a John Deere cap. We got to talking, he was a 3rd generation farmer, mostly soybeans. I asked about the outlook for this year's crop, and he became concerned. He's unsure about selling his crop due to Chinese tariffs. Cost of diesel and fertilizer is way up. He knows another farmer who lost his farm last year. He's worried for his future, his kids future, etc. As I left, I shook his hand, I said, "You don't need to worry anymore -- we're building a tremendous promenade from the Lincoln Memorial down to the Potomac." He pulled a hanky out of his pocket and dabbed the corners of his eyes, and said "Ma'am, that's best news I've heard all year."

Trumps vanity statues that will satisfy his mad king narcissistic need before he climbs into his coffin are a sacrifice that all Americans will need to pitch in for.
trump has turned the White House into a criminal operation. Anything goes, everything is for sale, it's only about money, ethics have nothing to do with anything. Corrupting the nation, killing the american spirit.
"More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, per WaPo"
Remember when Trumpers said the Ballroom was A-OK because it was privately funded.
Well we quickly learned that was a lie as Congress tries to get one billion funding from Taxpayers
And today we learn this from NYT...
Trump's Ballroom donors miraculously won over 50 Billion in new contracts after they put their names on Trump's list. It's a Christmas Miracle!
Did anyone expect they donated him that money out of sheer generosity? There's no real difference between climate donors donating to a politician so they vote a certain way (or, if it's leadership, bring something up for a vote) and this.

giving money to the president so he gives your company federal contracts is in no way equivalent to supporting a candidate financially because he agrees with your concern for the environment.

Nonfarm payrolls jumped a seasonally adjusted 172,000 for the period, down slightly from the upwardly revised 179,000 in April and far above the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 80,000. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%, as expected. “This is a labor market that is stronger than it was last year and is looking pretty darn solid, despite high energy prices and higher inflation generally,” said Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC. “There’s no indication that the labor market needs support.”

1. They would have gotten contracts anyway
2. They donate / pay and get something in return. There's no real difference
Watch California, everybody! Our Election process is as bad, or worse, than any Third World Country. The biggest difference is, they count their Votes much faster — They don’t wait seven days to tell you who won, rigging the Election during each and every one of them. Americans are ashamed of what is happening!
Every LR lib will say, "there is nothing to see here."
I asked Grok what the odds are of this happening.
"The odds of Spencer Pratt receiving exactly 0 votes in a batch of 24,834 ballots, assuming he had ~29–30% citywide support at the time, are astronomically low—on the order of 1 in 10^something enormous (far beyond trillions or… https://t.co/nNT5m766wi

Don't let facts get in the way of your BS narratives.
