White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is on maternity leave, so over the last few weeks a revolving door of Trump administration lackeys have stepped in to cover for her — and to face news-of-the-day questions from reporters. The whole experience has been getting them (said lackeys) really worked up. Last week this involved Vice…

Has anyone in the government done a study on how long 24.75 karat gold leaf on a bronze statue will last under DC’s weather conditions for that $5 million dollar no-bid contract? No? I thought not.
Pure grift and payback for whatever contractor was selected. Ripe for a House investigation next year.

Since, per WaPo, “federal law currently allows only deceased people to appear on bills,“ perhaps DOJ should open an investigation into this obvious threat on the Felon President’s life. Almost anything can be made an excuse for such investigations.

I don’t know anyone who would object to Trump being on currency ASAP if it was done in accordance of the law about the person being honored also being deceased.

I’m off to bed, had my say on this and not trying to convince anyone, just wondering if this is the hill we want to die on. Because the R’s aren’t going to let it go. We should be fighting for things like families making their own medical decisions with their doctors on gender assignment for minors, equal rights in employment and other areas we can actually win elections with messaging on trans rights.

LOL. I just got back from a month long trip to the UK. I ran into one restaurant that wanted cash so I took out about $100. Spent half on the meal and the rest when the group we were with evened out the money we all spent on food for a week at a house in the Lake District. All the rest of the costs (somewhere around 8 grand) for the trip were on cards. No one except that one restaurant wanted cash.
