West Houston Trump-themed burger joint replaced by pizza spot
There's a new restaurant at the location where Trump Burger used to be open along Chimney Rock in the Galleria area.
HOUSTON — A west Houston burger joint that had been at the center of some recent legal battles has been replaced.
Trump Burger, which was open along Chimney Rock Road just north of the Southwest Freeway for about five months, has been replaced by Empire Pizza. New signage was spotted on the structure on Monday. It's unclear if the pizza restaurant is open to the public.
Last month, KHOU 11 News reported that Trump Burger had closed, and the Houston Business Journal said it made multiple phone calls to the restaurant's listed phone number that went unanswered.
Trump Burger gained some notoriety due to its theme. It paid homage to President Donald Trump with memorabilia on the walls and doors, plus "Trump" stamped on the burgers themselves.
Earlier this year, news broke that the restaurant owner, Roland Beainy, was facing deportation. Brainy, a 28-year-old Lebanese immigrant, was supposed to leave the country in February 2024. According to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, he initially entered the U.S. in 2019, but he overstayed his visa. ICE officials said Beainy didn't have any immigration benefits that would prevent him from being arrested or removed from the country.
More on (moron?) Trump Burger.
This is one guy I don't mind ICE grabbing.
What a surprise...

Um- and why are they surprised about THAT????Apparently the company that tore down half the White House for Dump isn't getting paid.

That has also been mentioned in the main Trump thread.Apparently the company that tore down half the White House for Dump isn't getting paid.
Spoilsports.That has also been mentioned in the main Trump thread.
However Snopes has followed up and has found that the reports might not be true.

Construction company 'called out' Trump over unpaid White House East Wing demolition bills?
ACECO, a Maryland-based construction firm, faced intense online criticism for its involvement in the demolition.www.snopes.com
It seems a bit early for them to be stiffed, wouldn't it be at least net 30?Spoilsports.
If it makes you feel any better, they have taken their website off line (probably to avoid the considerable backlash that is resulting from their involvement.) Same with several other companies that are involved with the project.Spoilsports.However Snopes has followed up and has found that the reports might not be true.
Not finding any credible source for that.Apparently the company that tore down half the White House for Dump isn't getting paid.
"Government contract" = "Trump contract"Right... it'll be a few more weeks before they get stiffed.
In reality, I'm not sure he can pull his usual bs with a gov't contract. Not that he won't try.
Remember, according to Trump the ballroom is supposed to be built by private funds. Not sure what type of control the federal government would have over paymentsRight... it'll be a few more weeks before they get stiffed.

Also "Government money" = "Trump money"."Government contract" = "Trump contract"
It's a government building, being built on federal property, to be used for government purposes. Trump doesn't own any of that.Remember, according to Trump the ballroom is supposed to be built by private funds. Not sure what type of control the federal government would have over payments
Knowing Trump's usual MO, now that the East Wing is a pile of rubble and the demolition contractor is not being paid, it will stay a pile of rubble, and nothing will get built until someone else pays that bill for him. So I would not be surprised if it was still a pile of rubble in a few years time when they finally get turfed out. I give the odds of this Big Beautiful Ballroom being constructed at all as 50/50 right about now.I would expect any construction company to insist by now that Trump pays upfront, in full, before a single thing happens.
This one really FAFOed!She Left the Left for Fascism—and Got Eaten Alive by the Right (Dark Brandon on YouTube, Nov 10, 2025 - 11:17 min.)
In this segment we look at some one who was a democrat for 20 years and went over to the right. Now instead of those on the right appreciating the work she does for the right, they only attack and call her fat....Oh yeah we also explore the potential outcomes of fascism she is advocating for and how none of the outcome will be good for her.
0:00--> Hey there folks. Hope you're doing well today.
Today we're going to be looking at a reporter who used to be on the left, but she then started seeing what they were doing on the right and was like, "Wow, all those sexists of racist, that must be a great place to be." So she joined the right and now, instead of those people on the right appreciating the reporting she's doing about the left, they instead spend a lot of time calling her fat and ugly, which is strange. You would think the, you know, racists and sexists would be more welcoming to women. I hear sexism is a really big tent. Nonetheless, let's take a look.
“The most hurtful thing (Trump) said, which is absolutely untrue, is he called me a traitor, and that is so extremely wrong,” Greene said, “and those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger.”
When pressed by Bash on why she didn’t speak out against Trump using such rhetoric until it was directed at her, Greene conceded that it was “fair criticism.”
“I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it’s very bad for our country,” Greene said. “It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.”
Greene said she realized that she has participated in or supported heated rhetoric that has resulted in threats toward others, a point of reflection for her.
“I’m only responsible for myself and my own words and actions … and I’ve been working on this a lot lately, to put down the knives in politics,” Greene said. “I really want to just see people be kind to one another.”
Ah, there's the real reason for her change of (something like a) heart...cowardice. Somebody who was also a brash, lying, fascist, loud-mouthed ◊◊◊◊-stirrer got actually shot dead, and she is scared she may become the next target.“I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it’s very bad for our country,” Greene said. “It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.”

Well that's certainly one way of running a democratic nation that supports first amendments rights.MTG, version late 2025:

Easy solution: become a non-target by not being a brash, lying, fascist, loud-mouthed ◊◊◊◊-stirrer any more.
I feel so much Schadenfreude from her being targeted by the same monster she, if not helped create then definitely fed. Something something leopards.Have the leopards come for Marjorie Taylor Greene? Sorry, Marjorie Traitor Greene: that's what DJT calls her now:

Funny, but didn't he have a very different tune about Charlie Kirk?
Anyway, I don't feel in the least bit sorry for Marjorie Traitor Greene.

It's a bit late for that now.
Oh, that's not my solution. That's what Marj thinks she is doing.Well that's certainly one way of running a democratic nation that supports first amendments rights.
