Why do they need a ballroom? Do you really think that having State dinners in a tent is a good thing? That is what they have been doing. As well as being second class, it is a security issue.

Taxpayers are not paying for it.

It is literally gone today! Talk about lies lies lies, Karoline.

BRIBES are paying for it and that bothers me even more than tax dollars being used.

This ballroom is a monument to historic levels of corruption.

And that - ladies and gentlemen - makes them crazy.

Nothing is sacred to MAGA, only “sticking it to the libs.” They’d let their own children starve to stick it to the libs. It’s sacred to them.

The spokesperson has arrived! Now explain the 90,000 square foot part, the lack of permits, and the complete lack of consultation with the usual reviewers of such plans.

The State Dining Room in the White House seats 140 and suited the other Presidents just fine for 200 years

Really?
https://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/11/24/obama.state.dinner/index.html
The dinner, in a tent set up on the White House South Lawn with a view of the Washington Monument, featured round tables for 10 set in resplendent colors -- apple green, ruby, gold -- with floral arrangements of roses, hydrangeas and sweet peas in plum, purple and fuchsia.

So because Obama did one event outside is a reason to gut the East Wing of th white house and install a gaudy and completely ahistoric structure that overwhelms the original white house?

They are tearing down the East Wing.

Maybe the hideous ballroom will eventually become our own version of Poland’s Palace of Culture and Science, kept as a reminder of an ugly time. Sounds like the Poles have made the best of it:

No, it will be demolished as soon as he leaves office. The Rose Garden will be restored to its former beauty, and the East Wing will be rebuilt as it was. The entire WH will need to be cleaned out after all the crooks and criminals depart.

I'm kind of surprised Trump hasn't tried to build a tower atop the White House. I suppose there's still time...

I assumed the real renovation is going to be on the bunker.

They have literally removed the East Wing of the White House.

I’m amazed this didn’t leak. No one in media knew they were bulldozing entire East Wing until it was already happening? wth?
