I agree, and I never thought we'd be here. It worries me so much as well, because we're relying on the military professionals to protect us from politicization and from dangerous, illegal activity and orders (what if That Man decides to loft a tac nuke?) and if that guardrail is failing, we're in deep waters.
I wrote a long comment back in early 2025 on Reddit about the trumpets destroying the Statue of Liberty. Did I ever get pounced on. Demeaned and called outright stupid. Some nasty comments directed at me for what the responders called absurd.
70,000,000 U S voting citizens still burying their brain in Fox scripted entertainment opinion news.
When we have a dictator president, a Supreme Court, republicans senators, all cabinet people and oligarchs who all have one goal, DESTROY DEMOCRACY , take all resources and wealth for themselves THEY do not want to leave anything that resembles or reflects what has been built in the past 250 years.
If the bloated yam demolished the east wing than I believe he’s capable of trashing other important structures. But he knows New Yorkers hate him passionately. I could see them hanging his spray tanned corpse off the Brooklyn Bridge. I’d take a three hour flight just to witness that 😊
Trump has already started talking shit about him. I really like Mamdani. He seems like he really cares about NYC. I love the city but it’s very difficult to live and work there.
I know the feeling, Lee. I was pounced on, screamed at, told I was full of shit etc. when I called out the military last summer. No one believed the military would turn on the constitution and us Americans. Look where we are now.
I knew it would come to this. I lived in the largest military town in the US. I watched and listened to their behavior. It doesn't surprise me but I am very disappointed and saddened.
Agree Lee . Nothing this Administration Regime does surprises me. They have totally been trying to rewrite history so destroying the Statue of Liberty would not surprise me even though it would anger me!
From the richest country to a less than third world. Trashed by the few. Those islands the disgusting criminals seem to be drawn to are going to get pretty small for them.
No one will touch our beautiful statue. I think the pedophile makes remarks like that to get a rise out of people like us, the radical left extremists. The conman is nothing but a miserable POS.
Do not be deceived. No one thought he would destroy West wing of White House, destroy the rose garden, destroy the cherry trees, destroy beautiful grounds around Arlington, damage the golf courses in DC along with the reflection pool at the Washington monument. Yes he sometimes makes comments to redirect the independent press and our focus from another horrible situation he is involved with. But those comments come from what is rooted in that twisted brain. In early 2025 he commented something to the effect, “the Statue of Liberty value of copper is tremendous and cost of maintaining is absurd. It should be torn down and copper sold.”
…this is the way a dictator thinks…. What he really wants is a statue of himself where the Statue of Liberty now stands.
The only (possible?) good that would come from it is if the Dictator Moron is buried under it when it's demolished. Oh--wait a minute--being buried under it would be way too good a place for him when he kicks the bucket. Besides, we KNOW where he's going, and it definitely don't be in any cemetery anywhere!
I think you are absolutely💯 correct. I hope I am not here to see it. I'm old and bad health, but I think God that I don't have any kids. I feel sorry for kids that I have to grow up in this sad sad America.
Never happen. Military will not stand up and ICE just got their Senate approved funding for a larger Gestapo force. Democrats will say “we want to be nice” so we want to be compassionate and not resist. (Oligarch owned Democrat standard response) and public at large will just “Uh !, Duh … what?”, does not concern me because my text msgs still work!
Congratulations and a well earned accolade. In regard to Hassett, does he not realize that those pipelines that he is discussing take years to build and implement. I do not really think that the world can wait that amount of time before crisis hits.
Think about it….you are asking that question about a Trump cabinet member….no one in the Trump picked administration has enough knowledge or ability to even discuss a pipeline.
No need to worry. Did you miss the pressor where Trump almost fell out of his chair due to being unconscious while his clowns all said "We can just use coal! We don't need oil or solar panels, just good old American coal."
I did see that as did probably most of the world. We are a laughing stock. And Rubio had the gall to say that he has never seen trump asleep in a meeting when Ted Lieu questioned him. Lieu said I believe you just lied to congress.
Thank you for this link. I was not aware of the utter beauty of this area and it makes me understand even more why the people are turning out in droves to protect it.
So..... Affinity was drawn to the area because of "its pristine natural beauty .... and serenity"... but 6,000 units (plus the associated restaurants, docks, boats, autos, air traffic, (golf courses?) and PEOPLE, etc etc etc) won't impinge on any of that? I guess when one has "too much it never IS enough" is it? (Does anyone know if the t---- "luxury" developments that have gone up so far and those already established all look alike? . . . . Can't WAIT.)
Plus, they want to build an "eco-resort" in a place with an abandoned military base. Can you imagine the toxins and poisons in the ground in and around that base?
"Its pristine natural beauty and serenity" is only "pristine, natural and serene" BECAUSE of it's isolation and lack of "development. But because the TrumPedo Crime Family only sees nature as "not-yet-built condos to profit from," to them ANY natural beauty looks like "a great place for a golf course and PedoPalace."
(and NOTHING makes an area more "pristine, natural and serene" than a new airport near endangered species' habitats...)
“The monastery will become a bigger tourist destination, but that’s not its purpose. It will be surrounded by development; the lagoon will be destroyed, and the meaning of this place will be diminished. And for what? For whose advantage?”--Father Jani Tereziu, Eastern Orthodox priest who oversees St. Mary’s, a 13th-century Byzantine monastery on the island of Zvërnec.
Dear Ben and Bro’’s! Congratulations on your latest milestone! Awesome. Seriously - the corrupt DOJ argued they could destroy the statue.of liberty! Disgusting. So many symbols we hold dear have fallen… The Rose Garden, East Wing, Kennedy Center and our reputation in the world. Way to make America Great Again. Disgusting. Meanwhile, people are dying and starving while DT plays golf on Friday. Thx for letting me vent!
Todd Blanche has worked overtime to get into Cheeto’s good graces. He’s been loyal to him all the way through his civil trials, felonies and rape charges defended unsuccessfully. After Cheeto got rid of Bondi, he put his loyalist Blanche into Bondi’s position as acting AG. Cheeto told Blanche in nominating him, “Don’t fuck this up like Bondi did”. So Blanche has his marching orders.
Unfortunately for Blanche, he has to be confirmed now with 18m of legal baggage as Deputy AG doing Bondi’s bidding. From the lack of public interviews with Maxwell to the hiding of half of the Epstein files to creating the “slush fund” for Cheeto to pay off the J6 rioters.
What gives cover for all of this corruption in Cheeto’s regime including the AG and all his secretaries, is that Cheeto more than likely either told them privately or by action, that there will be a blanket pardon for all those in the regime. Fortunately for WE the People if WE want expressed retribution Todd Blanche even if pardoned doesn’t prevent him from being disbarred, like infamous loyalists Rudy Guiliani, Ken Chesebro, John Eastman, Michael Cohen, and Jenna Ellis(https://bit.ly/4dSBb5u)
Will Todd Blanche join the above elite list with a group of DOJ lawyers? Let’s hope.
No matter what wrongs democrats try to right, or process improvements they try to suggest, the GOP in Congress and the Extreme Court do not support democracy. Their congressional silence and the Extreme Court rulings are complicit in destroying what this country has strived for since its founding. It has not been perfect and that’s why we have amendments. Both of the above bodies show that they are willing to create and live under authoritarian rule.
We need to start impeaching and recalling before the midterms.
Trump’s DOJ argues in court that the government could bulldoze the Statue of Liberty with no legal recourse if they wanted???
Oh great! We're moving on from "Idiocracy" coming true to "The Man In The High Castle" and its Season 3 Finale.
In The Man in the High Castle, the Statue of Liberty is destroyed in the Season 3's final episode, titled "Jahr Null (Year Zero)" The Greater Nazi Reich orchestrates the demolition as a grand public spectacle to culturally erase American history and signal the dawn of a new Nazi era.
They always do cowardly things at night. Thank you for your reporting and i hope you have a great weekend.
You too! Thanks for reading!
It is a very sad time in America when CENTCOM lies and covers up what is really happening. They have lost all credibility.
I agree, and I never thought we'd be here. It worries me so much as well, because we're relying on the military professionals to protect us from politicization and from dangerous, illegal activity and orders (what if That Man decides to loft a tac nuke?) and if that guardrail is failing, we're in deep waters.
And no consequences as usual.
I can't take it anymore! Demolishing the Statue of Liberty?! WTF?! 😢

Sadly, you are right Lee. I've been
screaming into the void since 2015. Nobody listened. We are so screwed.
Me too, Ramona and yes we are screwed.
We have to believe that the bloated pedophile will be chocked off after the midterms. If we ALL vote Dem.
If the bloated yam demolished the east wing than I believe he’s capable of trashing other important structures. But he knows New Yorkers hate him passionately. I could see them hanging his spray tanned corpse off the Brooklyn Bridge. I’d take a three hour flight just to witness that 😊
I wonder what Mandami thinks of this? I know it's federal but it sits on a part of NYC.
Trump has already started talking shit about him. I really like Mamdani. He seems like he really cares about NYC. I love the city but it’s very difficult to live and work there.
Oh--he definitely has a list..........
I know the feeling, Lee. I was pounced on, screamed at, told I was full of shit etc. when I called out the military last summer. No one believed the military would turn on the constitution and us Americans. Look where we are now.
I never thought the military would side with fascist Dumbo. Very dissapointed. Always thought they would help WE THE people.
I knew it would come to this. I lived in the largest military town in the US. I watched and listened to their behavior. It doesn't surprise me but I am very disappointed and saddened.
Agree Lee . Nothing this Administration Regime does surprises me. They have totally been trying to rewrite history so destroying the Statue of Liberty would not surprise me even though it would anger me!
From the richest country to a less than third world. Trashed by the few. Those islands the disgusting criminals seem to be drawn to are going to get pretty small for them.
I know! Where the H did that come from????
The regime hates American history. There's no other explanation.
So evil!!
That really pissed me off when I read it. Who would ever think or do such a thing? I guess the same assholes that demolished the East Wing.
Given proper permits were not issued, once power shifts, the companies doing the work should be heavily fined and licenses pulled
It pissed me off and I got really sad. I'm still sad.
I’m still pissed about the East Wing. The pedophile needs to hang for that.
Guillotine.
I commented before I saw yours: Metaphorically, they already have.
This is just a nightmare . It's so ... indescribable at this point .
No one will touch our beautiful statue. I think the pedophile makes remarks like that to get a rise out of people like us, the radical left extremists. The conman is nothing but a miserable POS.
I agree. He is a huge shit stirring , troublemaking , bully. The voice is like torture. He is a rat bastard and should just resign 😤
Do not be deceived. No one thought he would destroy West wing of White House, destroy the rose garden, destroy the cherry trees, destroy beautiful grounds around Arlington, damage the golf courses in DC along with the reflection pool at the Washington monument.

I am deeply saddened.
I feel like this guy right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDLS12_a-fk
The first thing I thought of was that movie scene LHS. It was a shocking thing to see. Goosebumps.
The only (possible?) good that would come from it is if the Dictator Moron is buried under it when it's demolished. Oh--wait a minute--being buried under it would be way too good a place for him when he kicks the bucket. Besides, we KNOW where he's going, and it definitely don't be in any cemetery anywhere!
Congrats, guys on your latest YouTube milestones! Cheers! 🥳
Thank you so much, Joanna!
🤗
i can predict if they come close to the Statue of Liberty, they will be met with guns.
Trump likely wants to replace the Statue of Liberty with a same sized gold leaf covered statue of himself
I was thinking that too, Timothy. Puke.
I think you are absolutely💯 correct. I hope I am not here to see it. I'm old and bad health, but I think God that I don't have any kids. I feel sorry for kids that I have to grow up in this sad sad America.
🤮🤮
Same if even one more inch of the WH........

New York residents will turn out to protect the Statue of Liberty. They hate Trump.
The ice funding was the horror of the day followed closely by several others
Oh, I don't wanna believe that. I really don't have words to describe what that situation looks like.
The fire hose of fuckery never ceases.
Congratulations and a well earned accolade. In regard to Hassett, does he not realize that those pipelines that he is discussing take years to build and implement. I do not really think that the world can wait that amount of time before crisis hits.
Think about it….you are asking that question about a Trump cabinet member….no one in the Trump picked administration has enough knowledge or ability to even discuss a pipeline.
LOL Yes, Lee, you are right. How silly of me to think for one second anyone in his entire retinue would know any basics facts.
No need to worry. Did you miss the pressor where Trump almost fell out of his chair due to being unconscious while his clowns all said "We can just use coal! We don't need oil or solar panels, just good old American coal."
I did see that as did probably most of the world. We are a laughing stock. And Rubio had the gall to say that he has never seen trump asleep in a meeting when Ted Lieu questioned him. Lieu said I believe you just lied to congress.
The best was Al Greene. With the two name markywayne. Fantastic. The racist plumber told to shut up. ALOT. check it out. SMILE MATERIAL.
Go, Albanians, GO!!!
Iran situation: A clusterfck. trmp and his toadies are idiots and we are humiliated again.
Golden age: for whom? trmp, as we knew, ruined the economy and he does not care and his disgusting toadies in the Cabinet slavishly go along w/ him...
Destroying The Statue of Liberty: wtf is going on here?! This is overt dictatorship. France needs to take it back until we are rid of trmp and maga.
Senate slush fund bill: the GOP has no spine, balls, ethics. 'Nuf said.
Ukraine Support Act: thumbs up for the House. Thumbs down for the Senate GOP who are pro-Russia-Putin-communism.
NYC sets a record: maybe a Democratic Socialist has succeeded? Whooda thunk? Common sense decisions lead to better outcomes.
Albania: says f/u to Ivanka and Jared, 2 spoiled brats who epitomize greed and corruptness.
A great read on what the Albanians are fighting for… https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/travel/albania-jared-kushner-tourism-trump.html
