He’s sending a message. Telling us he intends to have his family rule us for a long time.
The funniest poison pill the Dems could include in every bill would be to mandate that the Army Corps of Engineers go in and demolish it through any means necessary, then include it in every bill while focusing on actually good policies that are either popular or otherwise mundane but generally considered good. Doubt that’ll happen, best we’ll probably get is it getting leveled and the bunker gutted and rebuilt after Trump’s gone but still.
This is my fist time seeing photos of the ballroom location… and I’m absolutely blown away how unbelievably tacky it looks. They could’ve put it anywhere, and they ruined the symmetry of the White House plot and couldn’t even be bothered to build in the same style?
Obama said it looked like the cheesecake factory. Or that trumps style was that of the cheesecake factory.
Either way.
Cheesecake factory.
Said that it looks like Sadam built a cheesecake factory.
Which is an even better way to deride it
As someone who’s been to several of his palaces, you’re correct. They were built with subpar concrete you could literally scratch away with your finger nail.
Looks like on of those crabs that have a huge arm and the rest of the body is small
So what you’re saying is we need something eekwally yuge on the other side to balance it out. Then a spire on top of the blanco bordello…
I want every putative 2028 candidate to pledge that on January 20, 2029 he or she will sign an executive order to tear down this monstrosity
And get rid of dept of war and secretary of war titles, and revert back to lake Ontario and Gulf of Mexico, and just erase any evidence that he ever existed, honestly.
Nonsense, thats wasteful. Offer it to every queer group in the nation as a free event center. Weddings, furry cons, drag shows every day.
What’s crazy is he was able to secure all the corporate donations for this thing, yet the poor Kennedy Center needs to be demolished because he cannot secure donations to keep it alive.
As far as I know, the Kennedy Center’s donation problems didn’t really start until after a judge told him they couldn’t put Donald Trump’s name on the building.
Not quite, the Kennedy Center’s problems started when he first put his name on it and replaced the board with sycophants.
The large amount of existing donors stopped providing funds, and the team responsible for getting donors was replaced by idiots trying to use Trump’s disastrous name.
For people who don’t know, the Kennedy Center had a large team of people whose job it was to get enough donations to keep it running… IIRC something around 100 people, and under Trump’s direction, that team was more or less completely dismantled.
The previous director of the Kennedy Center was a very rich man, I think a billionaire, who had personally donated millions to the Kennedy Center, and Trump got rid of him.
Trump did everything he could to sabotage all existing sources of funding for the Kennedy Center.
It’s hard to describe in words what a pathetic loser Trump is. He can’t stand to have somebody whose name is in any way elevated above his own. He’ll destroy any cultural institution and anybody else’s happiness just to get the tiniest bit of honor for himself.
It’s hard to describe in words what a pathetic loser Trump is.
It must be done by performance art that includes horrendous odors and the kind of flashing lights that cause seizures.
And every audience member must wear a cilice belt locked on to each thigh during the performance and for two additional days after.
Thank you for sharing this
Well he didn’t, congress decided we should all help pay for it to the tune of a $billion IIRC. If you’re from the US you’re paying for it.
Wait is that really something he’s floating or are you joking about this? Because I honestly can’t tell anymore…
He doesn’t care about the arts. Especially since he couldn’t put his name there.
Is it too late to abort his spawns too?
And make the Trump estate pay for it
The Trump estate should be confiscated and returned to the public from whence it came.
Department of War stays. 250 years, war for 247.
Any corporation that donated to this administration should be nationalized or shuttered
Let’s be real, they should all be broken the fuck up. Nationalizing corporations is not a still our country knows how to do well… They always pay off the owners and inevitably it ends up back in private hands. We should nationalize the rail network and Amazon, then run them at cost with fair access to power our economy. And starlink… infrastructure in general is really advantageous for so many reasons
But the rest just need to be broken up. It’s by far the best option
Any company that has the money lying around to make a meaningful white house bribe is too damn big. China had a really good idea with their regulatory policy… You just can’t let companies grow to the point their power is on the same scale as the government. They become cancerous
Shutting them down widely would be disastrous for workers and sometimes our general quality of life, nationalizing them would be messy, expensive, and they’d end up sold off for pennies as soon as kleptocrats get back any amount of power… But if we get in the habit of trust busting, we’ll instead be able to course correct whenever someone good is in power
Bonus points if we make the split businesses worker owned and controlled, but I don’t have that much hopium on hand at the moment
Best Schumer can do is write a strongly worded letter.
If the reflecting pool is any example of Trump, it’ll probably fall apart in 5 years or less.
I’m sure that 30% of the structure consists of listening devices.
A brilliant spy technique.
With load-bearing listening devices, the bugs can’t be removed without causing the building to collapse.
Weeks*
Wait… Days!
slaps roof you can fit so many kids in this bad boy
Little girls. #puke
My first thought was “all these childish and senile billionaires “… but no. It dawned right after.
It’s a monument to Trump. A horrendous scar on America. And that’s sort of why I hope it sticks around, to serve as a lesson to America. This is what happens when you squander your democracy.
My idea for the Ballsroom: “Twoface”. Put up a curtain dividing the building in half, and each is in a different style: Trumpian, and pre-Trump. People who tour the building criss-cross the curtain, seeing the shitacular sensibilities of Trump, pitted against good taste.
Only lesson conservatives will learn?
That he got away with it.
Could put the Russian embassy in there to make it just that little bit more of a reminder
Oh, they’re already there.
I mean, if this was a Greek tragedy, I bet people could think of some ironic circumstances for balls to be held in that building…
Or they could do a French-themed party. Trump could re-enact the Bal des Ardents with his inner circle, cronies, and all their closest friends, and entertainment provided by dancers dressed as trees, lit only by torchlight for ambience. It would be the hottest event ever held in the White House. An unforgettable extravaganza.
“It’s my belief that my big balls should be held every night.”
We could turn it into the Hall of Shame.
The place is being built with absolute attention to detail. I’m sure it will last at least as long as his modifications to the reflecting pool.
He legit thinks he knows a lot about construction.
Fuck tearing it down. Turn it into a homeless shelter.
Actually, I think the idea of turning it into a homeless shelter is a great idea.
“The Donald Trump Memorial Shelter For Transgender Latina Homeless Women”.
That heli pad looks like ass
For those who want to avoid not-twitter
My local post office is better looking.
What’s the warehouse looking building?
Pedo bunker.
What are the odds that thing is built to code?
Are you seriously posting a link to the Nazi site
Was pressed for time to make a different link.
🤢
I noted in another article, that the new ballroom construction includes a state-of-the-art hospital. Meanwhile, Medicaid is getting cut back. Cuts for thee…
I predict this whole thing will end with a constitutional amendment requiring homeowners associations in every neighborhood.
Ugh, that’s like one of the worst possible outcomes I can think of.
What a fuckin demented rapist shit-for-brains loserdome.
