Symbolic of what he has done to our civil liberties and Democratic traditions……..take the wrecking ball to them.

You have fully devolved. Congrats. Trump can't cross any line now that will make the guy, that formerly strove to be the theoretical Reasonable Man, flinch.

With each successive anti Democratic/or just plain bizarre action Trump takes, his supporters/apologists advance another point on the self debasement graph.

He can, and you make a giant deal out of many things he does. Is it really that awful to remodel this area of the White House Grounds? Is there something specific about the part of the east wing being torn down that merits its longevity?

Yes, just in case you're curious, the new White House State Ballroom project is PRIVATELY funded.

Oh, well then, that makes adding an architectural monstrosity totally out of character with the rest of the White House OK.

3 more years of this too, hell yes! The more the left makes up wild conjectures, the more I feel my vote was rightly used. He's modifying the building, not tearing it down. Calm yourselves before you have to change your depends.

If Putin had pulled that off with weapons it would have been WWIII. But he found an American huckster and played the long game.

okaydo, Newsom is building more hallways at the California state capitol to avoid the press, fully funded by California taxpayers!

Not that I care your opinion but according to you, I'm not a good person? Weird to categorize someone as good or not by who they democratically vote for.

I volunteer, I'm a teacher, I give to charity, I treat everyone the same. I feel like those are much more important factors in deciding if someone is good or not.

The best part of the Trump Vanity Construction Project will be when the final payments are due and Trump, true to his habit and custom, stiffs all the contractors. When they sue the government in his court system…..good luck, pal, as Henry Gondorff would say.

On a side note, how many guys do you know that would get this giddy and focused on the building of a ballroom?


Well, maybe one other guy…

Much needed, but too big, too over the top. Future administrations can tone down the gold leaf, but the sheer size.

Over the next 4 years Trump may replace the entirety of the White House with a Presidential Palace - one portion at a time.

My paternal grandfather, as a young Irish immigrant, was drafted and fought trench warfare in France, surviving both mustard gas and getting shot.

He worked at Mare Island during WWII. He died at age 84 in 1974 of mesothelioma from his asbestos exposure at Mare Island. He slowly suffocated to death. I was 19 and loved him dearly. It made a lifetime impact on me. For that reason, I take this personally if they failed to comply:

"It is currently unclear if the recent demolition of the White House East Wing included proper asbestos remediation, leading to public concern from health advocates. Transparency issues regarding safety protocols have been raised by the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) and others.
Lack of public transparency on remediation

No public announcement: The ADAO issued a formal demand on October 22, 2025, for the administration to publicly disclose all environmental and worker-safety documentation related to the East Wing demolition. The organization stated that the White House has made "no public announcement" of compliance with asbestos safety measures.

Risk due to building age: As the East Wing was constructed in 1902 and modified in 1942, it was built during a period of heavy asbestos use in government buildings, which poses a risk to demolition workers.

Requirement for inspection: Health and safety organizations emphasize that a building of this age must undergo a full asbestos inspection and abatement by certified professionals before demolition begins.

Previous remediation work: Past asbestos issues have been documented in the White House. In 2019, an asbestos abatement project was performed in the West Wing, requiring staff to be relocated."

..as Henry Gondorff would say

found him,, Oh Henry..


Henry Gondorff, dialog in long ago-go "The Sting"..
> Johnny Hooker: Can you get a mob together?
> Henry Gondorff: After what happened to Luther, I don't think I can get more than two, three hundred guys..

ps; it happens HG was showing in theaters the last year me and my better half were still at Cal.

You are such an incredible fool!

Trump himself says it's all being wiped away, and you can see so in pictures.

I have just created a thread for people like you. I'd like to ask you to ponder within yourself what it's going to take for you to oppose him.

In my mind, I put people like you in 1930's Germany, and when Jews were being rounded up, you looked the other way, cheered, and/or actively helped in the crime.

Then when the crimes were over, had little introspection about it all.

I mean, you haven't displayed an ounce of reason for me to think otherwise. You simply cheer that your side is "winning" just like on a sports scoreboard.

Kudos on still having the mental facilities to read a clock and to know what date it is. I was skeptical.
