Please explain to me why the ballroom has so many panties in a bunch.....

[justoffal]

The national historic society? Really? The East wing was not particularly historical. Now they want to dictate the architecture and take it back to Congress for approval or disapproval..... Objecting to the demolition of the east Wing is now moot and yet somehow or another they are wasting their time filing papers objecting to the demolition.

A little research produces the information that the East Wing was expanded in 1902 to house the first lady's staff. It was expanded further in the 1940s to cover up the presidential emergency operations center. So f****** what?

You want to tell me that the first lady staff now has no place to operate from? Hell, Trump hardly ever stays at the White House anyway..... I guess the last time he hosted a large international event with temporary tents and literally with porta potties.... It must have it must have dawned on him that the United States needed some type of formal reception area for international affairs. I can't see the president of France unbuttoning his sports jacket to step into a blue poop house in front of 300 international guests can you?

What is all the uproar really about? Naked politics I think..... I still haven't seen any reasonable statements by any organizations or individuals explaining why the historicity of the White House has now been damaged....

What I do see is yet another attempt to stop Trump from being as successful as he has been. Add to this the fact that it's all privately funded, basically excluding the bitching about money and you have an end around around the assholes who object to anything and everything attached to this presidency....just because.

Mass hysteria also called mass psychogenic illness (MPI), defined as a social phenomenon, consists of collective anxiety due to a perceived threat and can culminate in a cascade of symptoms suggestive of organic disease without an identifiable cause.

I did not endorse Biden's actions at that time, and I similarly do not endorse Trump's actions now.
Neither should you. These "Donors" are going to demand something in return.

You don’t know that. Moreover, assuming it will happen shows anti-Trump bias.

I most certainly do, this is the way Government works. You didn't like it when Joe did it in the Ukraine, did you.

Well, aesthetically it is just ugly. And it makes no sense. The White House has been called "The People's House", does a giant ballroom dominating the landscape seem appropriate? Do I give a shit about porta-potties at State functions, well yes, actually, not a good fit, so have the event at a FLIPPING HOTEL or convention center.

But the biggest problem is that ballroom is nothing more than an open call for corruption. Privately financed, that is not a good thing. Companies and individuals will donate money but they are certainly going to want something in return. That is going to cost taxpayers far more money than if we just flat out paid for the ballroom.

So, when Andrew Jackson was inaugurated, well he threw a party at the White House, it got ugly, fast. The guests looted the place and had to be lured outside with ice cream and whiskey punch. The People's House was looted by the people. But now, well the people are being looted by the People's House. I mean that is as clear as I can put it, and it is spot on.

Nothing but TDS. If democrats were not busy looking to object to EVERY SINGLE ACTION taken by Trump no matter what, they'd have nothing left to do but actually work on doing their jobs for the people.

That is why the midterms are going to kill them.

They are horrified that after Trump's leaving in 2029, there might be signs of him, his name, and his administration still around in their everyday life staring at them constantly reminding them of him for the next hundred years.

I think Trump should go for the Gold and rename Washington as the District of Trump. Every prog driven mad and insane like Rob Reiner and Bob DeNiro or Rosie O'Donnell is priceless.

A ballroom should be the least of worries given all the real issues going on.

LMAO, then you'll whine because they are using a Trump property. You'd whine if they hung you with a NEW rope.

If Obama added a ballroom there would be no complaints.

Also Obama would've used tax payer money on it.
