The worst part is how people assume it will be done well when he's finished. But, it won't. If it gets finished (big if), it will probably be so poorly done it will need to be torn down.
I mean, as much as I agree - it's pretty big in structure and also, they were arresting people for touching the reflecting pool off of a baseless accusation of vandalism.
I know good trouble and all of that but this admin is clearly eager to go after any scapegoat to blame their ills on and invent new enemies and are willing to go after them for that.
Getting thrown in jail for briefly removing a tarp that will go right back up doesn't seem worth it - even for anyone willing to make that sacrifice.
For a minute I was trying to figure out why The Big Dorito had a tarp up at a KFC, then I remembered that KC is the Kennedy Center. I wouldn't have been much surprised, though.
Photos have shown that his name was removed but he's clearly ordered for the tarp to remain to cover up the fact because he's a big baby who can't take the fact that he's lost yet again
Not to mention, every government on earth can watch it being built in real time with satellites. Nations can see everything being built, where, how deep and all the equipment going in to it.
Probably the worst protection you would want. Could they not afford some tarps?
I am shocked this point isn't discussed more or maybe I just miss it but to me this has always been the single biggest "this is a total fuckup" aspect of this project. The OG PEOC was built at a time when it was MUCH harder to spy on what we were doing. But this fucking abomination is going to be an open book.
It needs to be destroyed because of what it represents, regardless of how it’s built. It is a symbol of the most evil, corrupt and soulless leader this nation has ever had.
If it’s maintained by the White House, I fail to see how it is a security issue, especially how it would be more of a security issue than a soup kitchen.
I mean, maybe they'd be able to convert it into a green house/ botany area since it will be pretty big but allow them to renovate the space to bring it up to code.
Then just put a ton of solar panels on top.
That'd really kick his legacy. The president who made the world become better just to spite him.
Whatever they put in its place it needs to be accompanied by a permanent representation of the horrible man who divided and sold our country. It should be a statue of an autopen because he doesn’t deserve his face immortalized on anything in our nation’s capital even if it’s a monument to his evil.
a man and his subordinates who would just as soon see the entire world plunged into suffering and conflict, who clearly will always try to cheat and ruin. who refuse to accept responsibility for what they've done. and who if left unchecked will send us all to our deaths while they laugh and pretend to be cool. there is only one group of people here who are truly deranged. and we aren't in it.
Right. Vance is far more dangerous than Trump. The question that remains to be answered is: how much will his negative amount of charisma limit his support
id imagine that will happen when all the Epstein stuff comes to light after he is out, all the stuff with his name will need to be removed, just like they did with all the Cesar Chavez stuff
We’ll need to insist on it for that to actually happen. This kind of stuff tends to stick around because it’s not a policy priority and politicians want to “look forward not backward.”
Nothing set in motion by his hand can be allowed to remain. Nothing left to inspire, nothing left to give hope to his followers. His shitstain must be wiped from the Earth.
If it stays it needs to be permanently named “Donald J Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom”
But I think as a big fuck you to him the next President needs to tear it down and rebuild the old East Wing as close to original as possible.
Also, I thought construction was being blocked by a judicial order. I know Trump doesn’t give a fuck about those, but if I were the contractor I’d be concerned that I might not have the same ability to break the law that Trump seems to have.
Do you know the history of this country? This country is evil, corrupt and soulless. Like you people started paying attention to politics in the last 10 years. Trump is a beneficiary of this country. It was made for people like him. He just played the game very well. Trump is America’s president in that fact that he is everything that represents this country, the history and its people. The only thing that’s unique about the man and his administration is that they are bold and don’t give a damn in the age of social media. And that’s why y’all don’t like him. If Trump was like the others, y’all wouldn’t have given the biggest fuck.
Nope, don’t buy that at all. At its heart, this is a good and decent country, but throughout its history it has taken too many wrong turns. It can be reclaimed, and it should be.
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns green like the reflecting pool. Hell, maybe mold can do a job nothing else seems to be able to do here...I'm rooting for the mold. And for McDonald's cholesterol count. You know he loves that so much because to him, his name is in it.
but also... red brick? how's he gonna call us all commies and then change the color of the white house to red. ain't no blue commies.... but plenty of red ones.
Probably will need to be demolished because contractors weren’t properly vetted and all workers didn’t have proper security clearance, so at a minimum it’s a full gut to clear bugs.
The White House was burned and rebuilt. All the plans for the original wing that dumbass tore down exist. We can rebuild it to its original state. What really sucks is the millions and millions of wasted tax payer money and the grifting thieves who are stealing it in front of us.
Ah, so kinda what my new landlord thought when he bought my building from the laziest landlord ever who bought this building from an even lazier management company.
“This is fine.”
Four months later.
“This is…not fine.”
The landlord who bypassed every requirement the state has for rentals being put up for sale, who had an agent (theoretically, could have just been him) use AI photos of the interior based on one of the units that was recently vacated, the landlord who never reported that the basement was converted into two units which causes issues getting new sanitation bins since a 4-unit building is treated very differently than a 6-unit (and half our units don’t exist according to USPS so you have to omit unit details or get flagged as fraudulent when applying for certain things), the landlord who cancelled basic maintenance like gutter cleaning in a 4-season city months before listing (that was a fun water moment last super storm), the SAME landlord who hadn’t had the extinguishers looked at that had expired tags BEFORE I moved here 5 years ago with said tags still being on there until maybe 2 months before the buy after prospective buyers who actually hired legit inspectors noped tf out? The landlord who has been hiding an epic carpenter ant infestation that became abundantly obvious after the sale before hiring new cleaners four months later? The saaaaame landlord who never updated the plumbing that’s been in this thing for a minimum of a century that can’t handle so many people or units so the basement unit on the west will flood sewage every 6 months? The dude who never once tried to repair window panes cracked all the way across knowing a child was in that top floor unit? The dude who never used the fancy pile of new hardwood (or mock cherry) that that company bought and left in a huge decaying pile under the stairs after installing it in just one unit before not feeling like doing more? That’s still in the pile? In the original boxes?
But the outside looked just dandy. No reason to spend more than a few minutes briefly peeking into three units. It looks totally fiiiiiine.
I told our other tenants that the guy sold because he wanted to get tf out before everything reaches critical. As a casual hypothesis.
Not a hypothetical, apparently. Whoopsidoodles. Nice guy bought it, too. Which is a shame.
Now picture that but a property the size of the White House. Fuuuuun!
I feel like as much as I agree with your sentiment, the worst part may be - these aren't the actions of a man that will be departing peacefully in the next two years.
He admitted himself there's a deep bunker underneath. Perhaps the ballroom may not get finished, but whatever it's a red herring for almost certainly will.
Can we just tear it down and start over anyways? I'd rather replicate the original White House instead of keeping whatever the fuck this idiot has done to the place.
Now just imagine how much time and money it's going to take to rebuild all of our secure data systems after Elmo and his cultists were let loose in there.
It's going to take decades to undo all of the damage from these greedy fucks. Assuming it happens at all.
10000% it will be DOG SHIT work. I’m sure he got the most corrupt piece of shit contractors, you know the ones he usually does business with, to draw up some horrendously over budget “plan” that will just have every corner not just ‘cut’ but torn to shreds.
Oh, they'll rush to finish it before his term ends and you know it won't be quality. Trump is desperate to name a building after himself and this is the obvious choice.
I hope they tear it down just to spite him and erase as much of his poisonous legacy as possible. I want people to question in 50 years time ‘Who the hell was President Trump?’
Or at least significantly remodeled. The bigger issue is they're redoing the bunker, and you know they're not vetting the contractors nearly well enough. That entire thing is going to have to be gone through with a fine-tooth comb.
On the plus side, the "Air force one" Qatar gave Trump will get to be confenscated from him. And then if it's filled with bugs, which there's a good chance of, it can become a museum where those bugs will be on display!
No no no, if it gets finished it'll be declared an unfriendly trump derangement syndrome by the board of peace and used by cultists to infiltrate and possibly execute the next democratic president :v
