This Emmett Till memorial was vandalized again. And again. And again. Now, it’s bulletproof.

More deflection. It's pathetic when people can't admit they fucked up.

I have no problem with repurposing the East Wing. Even a larger ballroom.

OK

I do have a problem with tearing down the whole thing without warning and without proper approval.

Approval from whom? The president needs no authorization, if he did the court would have stopped him.

I do have a problem with the East Wing dwarfing the rest of the complex.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If the "ballroom" can be used for open office space its a win-win. If it is strictly a rarely used ballroom, I agree with you.

I do have a problem with the new complex not getting proper approvals

It will have the proper approvals. A public comment period, and two agencies. Not a problem.

Congressional approval

Not needed. Since no funding needed.

Laws, we don’t need no stinkin’ laws!

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!

An entire post of feelings. An excellent example of leftism is a mental disorder .

Trump has yet to provide a funding profile
Congress must still approve the building

“A public comment period and two other cursory reviews by agencies he is the head of, easy peasy.”
Not when there is still no plan.

True, the plans need to be completed before the reviews can be started. Stay tuned. Its not that complex a room

And not when all these things were supposed to have been completed before any demolition began.

Not true. Demolition can happen way before any construction approvals.

You really believe that claptrap, don’t you.

Of course, when the pledges fall short of the true cost (as it continues to mushroom). And you, the taxpayer gets stuck with the inflated bill, you’ll pretend Trump never said it.

Nope. Where in law or the constitution does it say that? If it did the courts would have said so.

Trump can write a check. Money is not a problem.

 

[rightwinger]

No, what causes short circuits is a ballroom that dwarfs the rest of the White House complex"

Not really

Trump is installing a 90,000 sq ft facility
Ballroom or not

When was the last time Trump did that?
He always uses other people’s money

Look at that. A shitlib pretending to be concerned with “laws.”

Funny stuff, Ms.Fit.

Leftwhiner ^ is a Liar.

The question was "what if no one contributes to building the new ballroom?".

Deflection noted, poseur.

He doesn’t understand that you are only concerned with vandalizing Confederate monuments
Civil Rights monuments are fair game

Show me where I ever approved of vandalizing any monument anywhere.

Hell the one monument I agreed should have been taken down was the only ACTUAL Jim Crow monument, the one in New Orleans celebrating a municipal coup.

A pretty dumb one. He essentially damaged a historic building to build himself a monument he won't live to see, without a plan, and someone else will have to clean up the mess.

Are you saying its his version of a Pharoah's tomb?

So we both agree that vandalizing is wrong and that a municipality can vote to remove monuments
