ICE agents have every reason to fear for their lives when protesters present this sort of nasty demeanor.

I Know a Threat When I See One

Here’s a beautiful piece of writing political commentator Rick Wilson the demolition of the East Wing of the White House.

Perhaps this is stupid question, but I need to ask it nonetheless: Does the president of the U.S. have the right to do something like this? I presume he doesn’t have a deed to the White House.  As such, can he sell it? Build a Pizza Hut on the property?

How is this situation different than my walking across the street to the park, where I commence cutting down trees because they block my view of the mountains in the distance?

I would expect to be in handcuffs within a few minutes.  Why?  It’s not me property.

The East Wing

Here are a couple of remarks on Trump’s destroying the East Wing of the White House:

From Dan Rather

Witnessing any part of its demolition is a gut punch. Trump crossed an invisible line by destroying something that wasn’t his to destroy. You could say that about so much of what he has done, but the visual of seeing a bulldozer taking down part of this national treasure was a painful reminder of how he and his administration work every day at dismantling our democracy.
