Trump Ballroom Unlikely To Be Built

[TimFitz]

Dems think people sit at their kitchen tables worrying about the East Wing of the White House.

You’re only fooling yourself if you think that kitchen table Americans are watching the evolving saga of Trump’s Ballroom. It reflects who he really is.

The Fed building in DC is being refurbished with the public's money. Originally slated for $1.9 BILLION, the costs have increased to $2.5 BILLION. I find that outrageous and as a lefty you should too. That's $2.5B that won't get spent on feeding the poor giving healthcare or whatever your favorite cause it.

I'm glad that private funding is being used here.

You don’t actually believe that, do you????????

Uh, I don't think they are watching. They are concerned about stuff that affects them.

Unlike Trump funding his ballroom through bribes - ahhh, I mean "donations".

You keep whining about the 1% paying their share.
Thank them for our new ballroom...

You don’t actually believe that, do you????????

What, only eight question marks?

No, I want it to cost $15 billion of taxpayer money including overruns and delays and take 25 years to complete, like the Big Dig. Is that more believable to you?

Do you really think that a judge anywhere is going to order that the White House stop rebuilding this....

Yes.

Indeed, I expect the stop work orders and the litigation will continue.

Not only that, but I expect litigation to start piling up as McReary, AECCOM, and AECON start wondering where their money is.

I would call Fort Fun the pet for the forum. He is harmless, though very paranoid.

Lol. He' sure getting his butt kicked all over this thread..

Children born in the United States to accredited foreign diplomatic officers do not acquire citizenship under the 14th Amendment

Neato!

But the person who said diplomats can't make US citizens made up a lie.

I do appreciate all of your time and effort and assistance, in demonstrating it was a lie. Thanks again. It wasn't necessary, but you definitely appear like the type that needs practice learning things.

Trump suggested stripping citizenship of naturalized foteigners

But not native born citizens

It's exactly what he proposes for those not yet born.

Meet the Florida paint shop owner who took on Trump — and won

An appeals court says Trump's company must pay more than $300,000 over an unpaid bill.

www.nbcnews.com

Enriquez, one of at least 60 people who have sued Trump and his companies over unpaid bills.

In the fall of 2013, the small business got a big job. A subcontractor on the $200 million remodeling of the Trump National Doral golf resort ordered $142,000 worth of paint from Enriquez.

Enriquez never got a final payment of about $32,000.

In the fall of 2014, Enriquez filed a lien, a legal tool used to recover a debt by tying up a piece of property. He said he offered to settle the matter for $26,000 but the Trump team balked — not surprising since Trump has repeatedly boasted that he never settles.

A Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge didn't buy the Trump defense, ruling in the spring of 2016 that the resort had to pay for the paint. Then the judge tacked on a multiplier to compensate Enriquez's lawyer, Daniel Vega, for taking the case on contingency, swelling the award by $283,949.91 in legal fees.

April 12, 2017

On April 12, Enriquez's lawyer called with the good news: the appeals court upheld the judge's order. The attorney who handled the case for Trump, Bruce Rogow, told NBC News there would be no further appeals.

Trump has always paid good contractors

But refuses to pay for shoddy work

Plaintiff: Juan Carlos Enriquez, owner of the Miami-based paint business "The Paint Spot".
Defendant: Trump Endeavor, a Trump Organization company that owns the Trump National Doral Miami resort.
The Claim: Enriquez's company supplied over $142,000 worth of paint to a subcontractor for the resort's $200 million renovation, but the final payment of approximately $32,000 was withheld. Trump's company argued that the work was unsatisfactory or that procedures for billing were not followed correctly.

I just wonder if you were really dumb enough to believe Trump’s tale about private donations. There have been some pledges for a small part of the original cost. There won’t be any more. The project is toxic. Entirely because of Trump’s incompetence, laziness and mismanagement.

The project has already doubled in projected cost, even though they don’t even have a set of drawings!

Which are ordered by the courts to be produced within the next ten days.

Back to being on topic. The ballroom will be built. No one knows how to stop Trump from building.

You really are a dumb ass.
Can Daddy build a ballroom and still keep the border closed? Good. Dance on...

Polish those billionaire boots to a high sheen. Good boy.

Maybe they will let you polish the gold leaf napkin holders, in the ballroom. But then, you will have to get the **** out.

You don’t actually believe that, do you????????

Everything government is in costs more and more and takes longer to do. The real inflation sucks.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Good boy.

It's a shame that the college you went to that weekend didn't teach you to be a little more astute...

I stopped reading at dumb. I'm smart enough not to waste my time on assholes.

Go troll someone else

There is a lawsuit now over the ballroom. Despite the belief by many Trumpers that Trump is a deity and above the law, he is human and subject to the laws of the land. Yes, Trumpers I know that shatters your world view. The Courts are right to issue an injunction against construction until the law has been followed and the review process followed.

Federal judge indicates he won’t halt the White House ballroom project
