Description

In scathing terms and with frequent citation to George Orwell's 1984 and its Minister of Truth, Senior Judge Cynthia Rufe has refused and blocked Trump's efforts to rewrite history to claim that we did not have slavery, and that the founding fathers didn't own them.  Popok reports on Trump's efforts to deface and scar the sacred Independence Hall monument in Philadelphia including the Presidents' House memorial to the 9 slaves owned by Washington.

Send the bill for repairs / restoration directly to Trump… I for one am sick of having to pick up the tab for him and his effing family.
