The visual desecration of the East Wing of the White House is purposeful. They haven’t gone in and treated the White House as craftsmen respecting the sacred, as historical, as remarkable. They haven’t approached it as a renovation; they’re approaching it as a demolition. They want the public to see the claw of the backhoe tearing it apart, the wreckage, the disrespect, the carnage, the dangling wires and broken concrete and protruding rebar. It’s intentional. They want the public to see and feel the violence. They want us to witness their brutality. They want us to watch the rape.
Something tells me that’s what Putin has on Trump. Something tells me that’s what’s in the Epstein files. It’s what he did to one of his wives, that she later recanted. It’s also what Hegseth was accused of. It’s what Kennedy was accused of. Bondi didn’t prosecute Epstein.
They are committing a rape against the country. The economy. The Treasury. The military. The institutions of our government. Aid. Health and human services. Our vulnerable and our vulnerability. And they are delighting and reveling in it, that no one is stopping them.
They are raping us as a people. In plain sight. Expecting us and others to watch and not intervene.
It is far past time to intervene.
It is far past time to see that we all believe in authority and power, and that this is our vulnerability, our hesitation, our reluctance even to intervene in the rape of even these. We must snap out of it. This is not an authority or a power that has respect.
It is the purposeful rape of an entire country. The rape of a world order in plain sight.
Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo wrote 10/22/25: “[H]ow do you top ordering your appointees to cut you a check for $230 million taxpayer dollars…( maybe illegally bulldozing a big chunk of the White House?) “The real story here is that Trump has been operating as king or dictator...There’s no accountability for anything. No limits, no penalties. So the demands keep spiraling.” https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump-moves-into-full-twilight-zone-anthony-phase
Get up, stand up, wake up...I am AntiFa. #Resist the fraudster authoritarians.
I appreciate that Trump is breaking the law. What a good thing that the Supreme Court gave him complete immunity from any criminal acts committed while fulfilling his duties as President. The Republican's I bet are so pleased with this turn of events!
"Militarized abuse of power" is frightening. Seeing military vehicles and masked, armed people in the streets of an American city, I could not see the difference any longer between America, land of the free, and a country where the military is in the streets. That is not United States of America. That is extremely wrong.

He also wants an upgraded bunker in which to hide if We The People gain any ground, because he is, above all else, an abject coward.
The Jan. 6 rioters were a lot more criminal than the vendors on the Canal Street Ice Raid ever could be.
Gut wrenching and insane.

And we do nothing but talk about it.
We are all "completely rolled over".

Thank you both for the excellent detailed information and your opinions on these topics.
