Putting a drone launching site directly in the landing path for DCA is a stupid, dangerous, and unworkable idea.
Trump clearly expects to lose a lawsuit and therefore wants to set up a pretext to argue that the arch is tied to national security. Which is obviously idiotic.

President Trump said his proposed 250-foot triumphal arch will now be a “top grade” military complex that will house drones, snipers and ammunition “for National Security purposes.”

KARL: Do you support Trump banning news organizations because he doesn't like what they're reporting?
SCALISE: Look, Biden removed the press credentials from 400 agencies
KARL: That's not true. 400 reporters who had credentials didn't reapply. They weren't banned from the WH. That did not happen.

Americans are bizarrely unaware of Russian sabotage and assassination operations running right now on their soil. Does this have something to do with the fact that the Kremlin paid for Trump Jr's wedding?

He's going to do his best to start tearing it down quickly so it'll be too late to stop him.
And because he's such a very special boy, there'll be no consequences for directly defying a court order.

Great job, Trumpers. Gas prices are up by more than $1 a gallon and grocery prices keep climbing, but at least Trump is closing down a government building because he can't stick his name on it. That's what you elected him for, right?

Susan Collins just cast the tie-breaking vote to advance Trump nominee Matthew Byrne to be the US District Judge for the Southern District of Ohio. Byrne was on the board of an anti-abortion pregnancy crisis center, and in his hearing wouldn't say who won the 2020 election or talk about Jan 6.
