No doubt he'll soon tell us his name needs to go on the Kennedy Centre for 'National Security" reasons as well.

It’s a great point. But if this is the case shouldn’t it be paid for by the military and agreed to first by congress? IMO the weakness in Trump’s “statue to himself strategy” is the funding. @raskin.house.gov @normeisen.bsky.social

So now everything he wants will be a matter of National Security. Can’t wait to see how creative they get to put his face on Mount Rushmore or the Kennedy Center. 

The Extreme Court keeps signaling how lawmakers can find work arounds to get around the Constitution

🤬

President Trump knows nothing. He has Stephen miller to come up with evil plans

Sound to me like an easy way for the next president to hold Trump and his cabinet and family responsible is to make it a matter of national security.

I've been hanging by a thread for so long that I can't even remember what 'normal' feels like. The terrible effects Trump has had on the mental and physical health of the country will be studied for years to come.

Mango Mussolini militarizing DC and transforming it into Pyongyang is on brand for his totalitarian Regime.

This isn’t a military need, this is a need for him to kill US citizens. 

I’m sure Hegseth is the only “military “ encouraging this stupidity. Trying to keep his job.

Did Roberts at least give a

I've never really hated anyone , ever, till mow. Its sad.

Wasn’t all that supposed to be on the roof of the ballroom?

Exactly!

When he thought they would stop him from building his ballroom, he got the idea that he could call it necessary for national security. That worked. Now he is going to try it here.

We'll tear it down if it goes up.

Build the fucking arch. It will be fun watching it get torn down.

Correction To Trump's handlers. The orange fuckwit himself can not comprehend.

Can the military budget absorb this expense? Before or after the additional half Trillion the Trump Administration wants to add to military spending?

Trump is clearly their (Federalist Society) vessel for destroying democracy and then we’ll be run by an imperial court or some other paid and bought slub as the unitary executive. We the people intend to stop them.

Exactly.

But at the same time linking a ludicrous ‘military rationale’ for a ludicrous legal strategy is in itself ludicrous.

Dwumpy is a toy. He's Trumpy-Ruxpin. He's got a battery operated heart, and his right leg has servo assisted joints. Pull his cord and he says, "Sharks, batteries, electrocuted." There's not enuf left there up top to add 2 + 2.

define "due"

Thankfully, Roberts only gets one opinion once the court is expanded

Are we still of the belief voting will fix this?

January 3, 2027 and all of the sanity it will bring cannot get here soon enough.

The triumphal arch should be renamed the plantar fasciitis.

Trump’s arch and ballroom military complex are not to keep us safe from terrorist countries. They are to keep us Americans in check. To stop us from revolting against him, the king!

Creating military defense infrastructure in a city is typically subject to constitutional oversight and specific legal framework…

The heroes laid to rest, dying defending our freedoms, definitely need a snipers, ammo dump and nest, with drones. Let them rest in peace.

SCOTUS IS CORRUPTED

There is NO FACILITY anywhere in the WORLD like what Trump wants bc other COUNTRIES don’t allow INEPT STUPID PETTY NARCISSISTS like Trump to LOOT their TREASURY to build MONUMENTS to their EVIL SELVES!

That is the second stupidest thing I've heard today, day is not over yet!

Be happier if Dougie Burgum was warming up a prison cell. But small steps, leading to lengthy incarcerations.

Not much of a hint anymore. Trump operates with impunity.

But really since he’s constructing it without a congressional approval, would a future president even need congressional approval for removal like what was argued as needed for the East Wing demolition and ballroom vanity project? If it was never approved by statute, it should be removable.

It will need to be torn down regardless

Breaking: The Kennedy Center to be turned into a garage for tanks.

This military need is only living freely in the mind of this deranged president ! An arch as a place to stock what???🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Telling the Felon’s lawyers. The Felon alone isn’t smart enough to comprehend jack shit.

Planned since the civil war?? The fuck you say.

They will not until we add seats.

No law matters when it comes to Trump. Hell even if he's told to stop building...he'll continue while it's tied up in court. I thought we already knew this.

Looking forward to future Presidents executing their predecessors by firing squad for National Security reasons. SCOTUS really are nincompoops.

He can try.

We need to protect our triumphal arch with snipers & drones. Because we're so great. Has a name been chosen yet?

But the price of eggs?

Slime bag Roberts…hopefully he contracts measles or another RFKj revitalized disease incurring pain & suffering commensurate with his vast criminal management approach to the courts.

But that SHOULD BE over matters he has constitutional power. He has none in land and bldgs.

Our military is not allowed to police our streets.

It will be so amazing when we let our citizens smash the hell out of everything he touched.

In recent times, the biggest attack on DC was 6 Jan 2021. If he doesn’t incite another attempted coup, this level of weaponry isn’t needed there. Seems like a better effort is to replenish our stockpile, get rid of the incompetent leaders in gov and take care of our military members.

So, he'd be diverting drones - of which, I'm not sure they have that many - from his (already won 🙄) war with Iran to protect DC (Arlington, mostly- a CEMETERY) from...those who oppose him in general AND the war, one among a plethora of specific grievances? Isn't that usually called treason?

True, drones will do the job.

He wants to be able to shoot protesters when he refuses to leave the Whitehouse ...

Exactly.

What a twat

He is consumed by fear

Lol..A random and off topic thought. One of the first tunes I learned how to play on the piano was How much wood would a wood chuck chop...while I wanted to learn Beatle songs.

I'm so sick of "national security" & "for the children". They are both meaningless excuses to strip us of liberty, gives more power to the state & makes absolutely no one safer.

If this supreme court has taught me anything it's that yesterday's precedent isn't worth much tommorrow.

One bomb and poof.

Also John Robert's is objectively a cuckold

A sniper... ummm 🤔

Or he's just too fucking stupid.

Yes - exactly this. He wants his ballroom and arch, so he labels them as "national security" to avoid having to actually get approval. Basically, his "reasons" are always BS - Trump decides what he wants, and the rest of the gang looks for a vaguely legal way to do it.

I'm sure he might try to finagle this argument into the Kennedy Center somehow. 'Put my name on it or I'll destroy it. It's for national security!'

Turning that obscene arch into a military fortress might be because he is worried that those soldiers resting in Arlington after giving their all might rise up to kick a fascist ass one more time.

Just like the bases in the Middle East got to make sure the enemy doesn’t know where to strike vital resources.

Then the next Democratic POTUS can use national security as an excuse to tear it all down. Every Confederate statue on federal land is a national security threat too. Tear them all down.

Future Dem prez: it is a national security imperative to expand the number of SCOTUS justices by executive order.

And funding as well, as at first the arch was supposed to be privately funded, but now, as a so-called "military installation", it's the taxpayers who have to pay for it.

The arch would be a perfect target, open from all sides, for anyone wanting to attack US soldiers in the middle of DC. So what would have to be set up protect the arch?

Is it because he's gonna need those snipers and drones to resist us coming in to drag his festering carcass out? If so, it's not a very good plan. I think most of us would be okay with high altitude carpet bombing of DC to be rid of him. Prolly cheaper than fumigation anyway.

So now he's going to fortify the "Capitol" against insurgent Districts.

Congress must take away his operating budget and slush fund. He's already exceeded it and he can't steal from any other department (like he's already done with the national park service) for his vanity projects.

He's such a POS

Turn it into a fancy looking toy box for Pete hegseth, with shelves & cubbies from IKEA. What could possibly go wrong?

Lie after lie. Strong request from the military: Bull. National Security: Bull. Planned since the Civil War: Bull.

No Kings 4: Impeach, Convict, Remove. Oct. 17th. Everyone in the streets, demanding impeachment. We demand every candidate vow to impeach. Articles on Hegseth created so much panic they just shut down. It's a weak spot. Tell your organizers. mobilize.us/s/zQQ3ZP

Will the ballroom include storage for jet fighters?

If he says it's a matter of national security, he gets almost everything he wants thanks to the billionaires giving John Roberts, Alito & Thomas heaps of gold. They're all traitors to America & must be impeached asap.

Wonder what a triumphal arch planned during the civil war era was celebrating…

Rename his clubhouse Empire of Peace and mount 50 cal machine guns all over it and dress Kristi Noem as a Killer Warrior Bitch and charge more money to pay Year 2 dues.

Labeling everything "national security" is another lie.

Maybe he should be told that the reason that nobody else around the world has a facility like he is describing, is that everybody else in the world realizes that it is one of the dumbest ideas ever made!

The Supreme Court needs to be investigated. They are guilty of several ethics violations. Would it be a surprise to find out they had broken the law. Several women have died since they overturned Roe. They never once said, “that’s not what we meant.” They are morally responsible.

Doesn't matter. That kind of designating is unreviewable. That's part of the scam.

For protesters

💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💀💀💀💀💀💀IN Memoriam, sucker.

Due regard and deference only requires such regard and deference as are due. That means it needs to pass the ho-ho test, which is a very low bar, to get Roberts's vote. Trump kind of blows that every time he opens his mouth on unTruth antiSocial. It will be hard for Roberts to pretend this time.

Absolutely. I just said this to my husband this morning when he asked me what the orange fucktwat had said about the fucking arch.

This is the disgusting hallmark of his second term. The only real limit is the power of the purse (which the Crook impeachably cheats on every chance he gets).

YES!!

I remember that🤬

It's a "matter of national security" just because a demented lunatic says so?

Hence all the recent references to the Epstein Ballroom being a "military complex."

🤣

He is paranoid. These drones are to protect him not the Capital. Guess who they will be used on? - Americans

Now why would the military be useful there? Unless it is not for foreign attacks. Maybe they are worried that the US is tired of their bullshite and will vote them out. And that would allow them to retire their bullshite and leave peacefully, like they did before...

Cool. The drones will make extra delicious tinkling and crashing sounds when we tear it down.

Hi

They are rich, all-powerful, and have lifetime appointments. That's how...
