Is this really the rallying cry the Repubs want to coalesce around?

[berg80]

Americans are rightly upset about the cost of living, the price at the pump, the Iran war. I don't think they believe the prez deserves an in kind, taxpayer funded reward for dealing with an aspect of his job, security, that unfortunately comes with the territory. Tone deafness on the part of R's rarely gets so striking. I don't know how they missed it.

A group of Senate Republicans is proposing a bill to authorize $400 million in federal funds for the construction of a White House ballroom.

It is especially galling at this moment when King Charles is on a State visit. There are many trappings of the presidency that are austere, that were designed by the Founders and born of our 200+ year history that are a visual, physical, intentional contradiction to European monarchies. We don't have aristocrats who spend their time partying in gilded ballrooms and never have. The WH is not a resort, it's a place of governance. The very idea the ballroom has to exist is an anathema to the image we have of this country. Of all the problems we face as a nation getting a ballroom built is about the least important one I can imagine. Yet it occupies far too much of the prez's attention when we are involved in a economically destructive war.

A secure ballroom is a free gift, not a waste of taxpayer money, what's the problem?

With democrats voting from rooftops we need more security.

Private funds said the president.

You believe it’s going to be free?!

Well, Trump possesses complete gravity in the GQP, and this is what he wants. I'm also beginning to think that, while we already knew that he had surrounded himself with sycophants, it appears to be absolutely pure. I don't think he ever hears a discouraging word from anyone around him, from his closest staff to his cabinet to the congressional Republicans.

So he probably tosses this stuff out and everyone cheers.

The GQP is simply running on "we're not the Dems". They have some points to make there. The opposite for the Dems, of course. When both parties' best and most effective argument is the other party, you have a country in crisis.

The real question is, do democrats REALLY want to make preventing a more secure and nicer place to hold state events their rallying cry?

Yup. It still is unless Congress decides to get in on the action to claim credit for building it.

Tell that to Lindsey Graham. I imagine he is just salivating over the thought of getting involved in the interior decorating.

Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Katie Britt, R-Ala., and Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., on Monday announced plans to introduce legislation that would authorize $400 million to fund President Donald Trump’s long-sought after White House ballroom.

No one has prostituted himself on the alter of trumpery like Lindsey.

It was supposed to be paid for by donations ( the donors of course looking for favors).

Now the taxpayer is gonna foot the bill

Remember how Mexico was gonna pay for the Wall?

Yeah

The American people are hurting due to inflation from a self-inflicted wound, the attack on Iran.

So why is the POt prioritizing the unnecessary ballroom?

We've done the research, and some people can actually walk and chew gum at the same time. Some people.

Hurting at 3.2%.

What’s happening now is an unforced error

This did not have to happen
