The metaphorical wrecking ball analogy takes a physical form.

[Frankenstein]

Making up some horseshit about what Dem's would do to the WH when no Dem or Repub prez has ever unilaterally decided he gets to do whatever he damn well pleases to a historic building, then pretending this is a commonplace outcome of elections, is beyond absurd.

What if trump decided to replace Lincoln's bust with his at the Lincoln Memorial? Still okay as long as it was privately funded?

We aren't' talking about the Lincoln Memorial

While you offer zero proof of yours? How about you show some proof or stfu?

There's nothing in the white house logs, or president's daily journal indicating any such meetings took place.

My apologies to the purple-lipped jug-eared Kenyan muzzlim busturd. He did not order an indoor hoops and locker rooms new build. An internet lie I suppose?*****


shortly after taking office in 2009, Obama had the outdoor tennis court on the South Lawn resurfaced and adapted for basketball by repainting the lines and adding hoops, allowing for full-court games rather than just half-court play.
This adaptation enabled him to host basketball games, including a celebration for his 50th birthday with NBA legends, but it remained an outdoor facility.
The original outdoor basketball court, installed by George H. W. Bush in 1991, was already present and located near the swimming pool.

Again, from the posts I've been reading they care more about not receiving an invitation to the ballroom than the fact that Trump is building it.

The East Wing was one of the last pieces of the White House complex he hadn’t yet started to make over in his own image. The Oval Office is dripping in gold and so is the Cabinet Room. The Rose Garden looks like Mar-a-Lago. There are massive flag poles in the backyard and in the front.

 

[my2¢]

Where are you getting that idea from?

Seeing all thread titles here and in the media that I ignore about things that don't affect me. Like all the Epstein crap, just by the titles it strikes me that the media has turned politics into a sporting event.

First of all Trump isn't tearing the white house down he's renovating it. Second of all he lives there, and third of all the last time I checked he's the president of The United States and he can do whatever he wants to as he's not breaking any laws.

Hillary Clinton fires up voters against Trump's White House ballroom construction: 'Not his house'

President Donald Trump begins construction on a privately-funded $200 million White House ballroom as Democrats including Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren condemn the project.

I think that it looks beautiful.

A bad one. This is just another thread of many, where a nutjob posts about why the other side is upset about something, when the other side never posts about it.

Trump is hurtling towards war with Venezuela. His tariffs are a tidal wave of crap for the economy. Inflation is up. The deficit is up. Hiring is down. He literally wants the his own cronies to give him a QUARTER BILLION DOLLARS. His junta is persecuting past oppoonents. The Army is spreading across the land. And the OP literally wants to murder people who disagree with him.

No one gives a good God Damn about the ******* Ballroom.

My God! You are having a love affair with lying!

Do you ever post links to these fantasies of yours? No! That's how we know they are nothing but fantasies.

 

[my2¢]

Forget about any politician, the question as I see it is whether the White House should have an adequate place to host a state diner of over 120 guests or on limited occasion be forced into a tent? I don't see how it affects any of us.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Like Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan and WHY???

How many deaths did we have in 10 years of Vietnam compared to almost 20 years in Afghanistan and Iraq? Comparing the two is just your ignorance slipping out of your alleged brain!

Venezuela has a Navy that sank one of its own ships when it tried to muscle a cruise ship!

Venezuela would crumble after one attack from our military.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

It is for him. It isn’t a gift to anyone but his own fragile ego.

Many of us look forward to its demolition as well as the restoration of the Rose Garden, not to mention the de-Trumping of the Oval Office.

JD Vance will not change much. The Dems will run AOC , Newscum, or some other lamebrain.

 

[BackAgain]

Is that supposed to be an argument?

It might be. He often predicates his attempts at “argument” on false premises.

It is the Schumer Shutdown.

 

[Mashmont]

It will be taxpayer funded.

Trump’s claim of private money is made up. Indeed, when asked about it recently, he repeated this smoke and mirrors claim, and added “or whatever”.

The ballroom won’t be taxpayer funded, but the monument to 0bama boondoggle will. Leftists are so incompetent. Trump has volunteered to take it over and finish it.

Dow set another record yesterday. You forgot that.

Do you have a ballroom in your house? In America, that would be pretty rare. I know there are a few, but it is not like we have many castles or old world estates. I don't even think the Biltmore house has a ballroom, although there have been a couple built on the venue in recent years. The house even owns one in Atlanta.

And don't kid yourself, Trump isn't interested in leaving any damn gifts. I mean he has the for sale sign out right in front of the White House. That is all this ballroom is, an efficient means of accepting bribes. In the real world, it would be money laundering. But these politicians, they don't walk in the real world. And Trump has taken it to a level we have not seen since George Washington, for real.

I mean now I can't get the image out of my mind. Trump, Washington, they are so alike, and sorry, not in a good way. In fact, I could call Washington, "Uncle George", we are related, but my side was here first. But the image is Washington, during the winter of Valley Forge, 1777-1778.

I know, in fantasy world old George visited his troops, who were suffering terribly. It was a bad time. Cold, disease, starvation. But nope, sorry. Maybe he did visit the troops, that is all speculation. What is for sure, he lived it up. Parties almost every night, and yes, dancing in private ballrooms. Skirt chaser from hell, tall, flaming red hair, self-absorbed, yep, that was Uncle George. He had a pretty damn good winter.

By all indications, I see that happening now. It is perfect K-wave synchrony. It is going to be a Valley Forge winter for the American people, and Trump is going to party it up. Everyone is going to slide by the holidays. It won't be bad. Shelves will be sparse, spending will be down per household for the first time since who knows when, 2008? But when January rolls around it will start to get real. It will be cold, indifferent, and immediate, and I ain't talking the weather.

Households will bring spending to a screeching halt. I am not kidding. I mean it will get real, and fast. The FED, as always, will be behind the curve. "Duh, what just happened?". That is the FED. It will become a cut rate party, long the long term.

Another leftwing doom and gloom prediction with no evidence to support it. We were supposed to be in recession right now. Instead, the stock market set yet another record high yesterday. The fundamentals are there for an economic expansion like nobody has ever seen. The Trump guy is incredible.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Trump's world wealth rank, as of yesterday, was 499, with a net worth of 7.4 billion, three billion of that since he took office. He is most certainly not one of the richest people in the world. And besides, I highly doubt he coughs up two cents to the project.

And I don't know why you want to pretend it is a good thing that no taxpayer funds are being used for this renovation. Yes, won't cost the taxpayers a dime. All donations. But you got to ask yourself, are those donations being given out of the goodness of the hearts of the ones who donate? Hell ******* no, the obscenely rich, huge corporations, they will donate but they will damn sure want something in return. And they will turn a profit, gain more than they give, how you think they got rich or the corporation has been successful?

200 million dollars. If taxpayers just paid it, it would cost them 200 million dollars. But when it is funded with "private donations", well you can damn sure bet it will cost the taxpayers more than 200 million dollars.

Who paid for the two new WH flagpoles?

Who paid for the rose garden renovations?

Dow set another record yesterday. You forgot that.

Dow is not the economy, and its down today.

I bet you're wrong.

Prove your claim or forever hold your peace.

Richard Dreyfus, absolutely had a personal audience with Clinton. https://www.washingtonpost.com/arch...nnelers/04d2beef-2064-4f06-84f4-25e84e7cf870/ 983

Also, there was Steve Jobs, Ted Turner, David Geffin and the list goes on. Clinton also held 103 Coffee Klatches in the White House where he raised $27 million with the elite.

The Basketball Court

Shortly after taking office, President Obama had the White House tennis court adapted so it could be used for both tennis and basketball. The White House has had a smaller outdoor court since 1991, but the adapted tennis court allows enough room for a full court game of basketball.

Show me the money

Trump says so
He says he is contributing

He says he has the most transparent administration ever
Why can’t he show where the $200 million came from?
