"I didn't want to say this but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House. It's actually a larger room, and it's much more secure," Trump told reporters in the White House press briefing room minutes into his comments.

"It's drone proof. It's bulletproof glass. We need the ballroom. That's why Secret Service, that's why the military are demanding it," he continued.

"They wanted the ballroom for 150 years for lots of different reasons but today is a little bit different because today we need levels of security that nobody has ever seen before," he continued.

The president has said that the ballroom will house a massive military complex, but has not provided any additional details until Saturday."

This con artist is such a shill.

Trump says WHCD shooting highlights need for ballroom

"CNN's Wolf Blitzer was outside the ballroom at the Washington Hilton when he saw a gunman opening fire just a few feet away. He was among the dozens of attendees who took cover as law enforcement swarmed.

A US Secret Service agent was shot in their protective gear and has been hospitalized, sources said."

Suspect in custody after shots fired at White House Correspondents' Dinner

- Odd.

Very odd. A Pres Secret Service Sec Team let a guy run out of the ballroom right through them, drew their weapons and... watched him run away?

Are they saying that MAGA shot their... w.a.d.?

"But a vote in Congress would be ultimately meaningless on the issue. Congress does not have the power to issue pardons.

The role is solely in the hands of the president, who has the power to pardon anyone convicted of a federal crime at will.

In October last year Donald Trump said he would "take a look at" pardoning Maxwell.

Were he to do so, there would be no way for Congress to stop him.
Her lawyer told Congress she would exonerate Trump in the Epstein investigation if she were freed from prison."

Personally, I would give here a sentence reduction for her testimony against Trump.

Prolly yet another botched attempt by a rwing shooter.

The Chocolate Watchband were an American garage rock band that formed in 1965 in Los Altos, California. The band went through several lineup changes during its existence.

Combining psychedelic and garage rock components, their sound was marked by David Aguilar's lead vocals, songwriting, as well as proto-punk musical arrangements.

The band's rebellious musical posture made them one of the harder-edged groups of the period with one critic labeling them as America's answer to the Rolling Stones.

"Max Raabe and his Palast Orchester have played a significant role in reviving and preserving German cabaret, jazz, and popular music from the 1920s and 30s, much of which was composed by Jewish artists and banned as "degenerate" by the Nazis.

By performing these works, they reintroduce the elegant, ironic style lost after Hitler came to power.

Revival Efforts: Raabe and his orchestra discovered original, forgotten arrangements in flea markets and bookstores to recreate the sound of the era.

Cultural Significance: Their performances bring attention to the "lost" culture of pre-war German cabaret and the creators who were silenced by the Nazis."

Their actions are directly opposed the concept that is Christianity, lol.

However you want to categorize religions, or make a categorization errors about them, MAGA ain't it, and on that we can agree.

They don't care what anyone says, except for those who have a lot money that they can beg, borrow, or steal.

The point is that their actions are anti-Christian, not pro, and their usurpation of the name should not continue.

"While the right has organized some Christian denominations into a powerful voting bloc and Christian nationalism has grown in recent years, Rashid argues that it is not true Christianity:

"Christian nationalism is fascism and authoritarianism decorated with Christian symbolism. It is a racist, xenophobic, authoritarian, fascistic ideology that gets sold as Christianity."

''

"Two-thirds of Americans are either skeptical of or against Christian nationalism. And most of America's millions of Christians, from various backgrounds and denominations, have never been all in on Trump:

according to Pew Research polling from February, white Evangelicals "are the only large religious group in which a clear majority approve of Trump's job performance".

Most Americans don't see him as religious at all, according to recent Pew Research polling."
