Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?

TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.

Only a few hours after admitting that the DOJ had excluded anything showing death or bodily injury? I don't think so.

Putin should listen to his own foreign ministry: "The irresponsible decision to subject the territory of a sovereign state to missile and bomb attacks... flagrantly violates international law, the Charter of the United Nations and the resolutions of the UN security council.”

When Trump talks about 'a complete give-up' by Iran, is the word he is looking for 'surrender'?

I wonder what King Trump thought was going to happen when he pulled out of the Iran nuclear arrangements in 2018? If those two countries now go to war, it's on him.

Amid all the hysteria, it's important to bear these two salient facts in mind: Musk cannot run a car company and Trump cannot run a country.

It must be a priority of the first post-Trump administration to reverse and restore these cultural losses. Of course, if that administration turns out to be Vance's, we're screwed.

Agreed. When I say I don't care, I mean I don't care about the*failure* of his project. A few more like this and he might quit developing these obnoxious systems.

You know what? I don't care. This man slashed federal jobs, appropriated massive amounts of private data, backed Trump financially, disowned his own trans child, and used his own social networks to advance the false narrative of white 'genocide' in his native South Africa.
