Make Room For The Ballroom

By now even the dullest of people amongst us knows that the East Wing of the White House being ripped apart to make room for His Royal doofus magic ballroom.

For those that still have no idea what I am talking about….

The good news is that it will be paid for by donations….or is it?

President Donald Trump has justified his project of tearing down part of the White House to build a massive new event space by promising no tax dollars would be spent, and that it would be entirely funded by private donors — until recently.

“They probably owe me a lot of money, but if I get money from our country, I’ll probably do something nice with it, like give it to charity or give it to the White House while we restore the White House,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday.

“As you know, the ballroom is under construction,” he continued. “They’ve been trying to get it for 150 years, and I think it’s going to be fantastic. But we’ll see what happens.”

Even though the DOJ is a part of the executive branch, Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution expressly gives Congress the power of the purse, meaning if the DOJ were to pay Trump hundreds of millions of dollars it would likely have to first be appropriated by Congress. There is currently no legislation that has been filed allowing for the DOJ to give $230 million to the president.

So the taxpayer could be on the hook for this vanity project?

There is so much happening….the entire East wing is to go…..

Despite President Trump’s public assurance, the entire East Wing of the White House is being demolished to make way for his $200 million ballroom—which he said Wednesday is now a $300 million ballroom—and will be gone by this weekend. A White House official said that all of the East Wing will be “modernized and rebuilt,” NBC News reports, reflecting a major expansion of the plans as Trump described them over the summer. “It won’t interfere with the current building,” the president said on July 31. “It’ll be near it, but not touching it, and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.” Hillary Clinton, Trump’s former election opponent, and conservative commentator Byron York are part of the outcry about the exploding construction project. So are historians and architecture experts. The issues include:

  • Transparency: Trump “needs to tell the public now what he is doing with the East Wing of the White House. And then tell the public why he didn’t tell them before he started doing it,” York said, per the Washington Post. Trump said Wednesday he has been transparent about the project. The White House said Tuesday it will send plans to the National Capital Planning Commission, which is supposed to review any external construction projects there. Trump allies hold a majority on the commission.
  • Ownership: “It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it,” Clinton posted.
  • One explanation: An administration official told the New York Times that tearing down the East Wing would be cheaper and result in a more structurally sound ballroom than adding onto the building would be.
  • An exemption: Fielding complaints from around the country, the executive director of the DC Preservation League has to explain that there’s nothing the nonprofit can do to stop the construction. Rebecca Miller said the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 makes White House projects exempt from the reviews that other federal agencies must undergo when they want to alter government property, per the Post. Sara Bronin, who led the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation under Joe Biden, said the demolition still seems to be a violation. “The Trump administration’s shortsighted decision to start demolishing parts of the White House is exactly the kind of action the NHPA was passed to circumvent,” she said in a statement.
  • Building pressure: The nonprofit that Congress created to preserve historic buildings, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, called on the Trump administration “to pause demolition until plans for the proposed ballroom go through the legally required public review processes.” That would include two commissions that have reviewed previous construction. A YouGov poll taken Tuesday found that 53% oppose demolishing even part of the East Wing, while 23% supported it. Just 23% said the ballroom will have a positive effect on the White House.
  • Trump’s defense: The president said Wednesday, in revealing the project now is estimated to run $300 million, that demolishing the entire East Wing was the best option. “In order to do it properly, we had to take down the existing structure,” Trump told reporters, per the Post. He said a “glass bridge” will connect the ballroom to the main White House building. “We don’t touch the White House,” he said.

He is destroying the White House for some vanity project of royal proportions.

This is pathetic on so many levels….and no one seems to care, why?

The Goon Platoon

When I read this article the first thought I has was the “Stasi’ (for those too young the Stasi was the East German secret police)….

That ass kisser Tulsi is setting up a Goon Platoon to handle domestic terrorism….basically to go after those that have ‘wronged’ our Lord in waiting…..

Top Trump goon Tulsi Gabbard has quietly assembled a secretive network of officials tasked with enforcing the president’s demand for MAGA retribution.

The team, formally called the Interagency Weaponization Working Group, has been meeting at the director of national intelligence’s behest since at least April and now includes dozens of officials from across the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement community, according to records reviewed by Reuters.

Participants have come from the White House, the CIA, FBI, Justice Department, Defense Department, Homeland Security, the IRS, and the Federal Communications Commission. According to Reuters, their task is to help “steer President Donald Trump’s drive for retribution against his perceived enemies.”

…

Fox News reported that Gabbard’s group meets biweekly to “share information, coordinate, and execute.” Officials told the outlet that Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, initiated the working group in April to streamline communication among agencies as part of Trump’s broader plan to “deweaponize” the federal government.  (What would you call going after political enemies?)  (I do not like the word ‘execute’ in this context)

…

But inside the government, the scale and purpose of Gabbard’s goon squad remain murky. Reuters identified 39 officials involved in the interagency effort, including several who have pushed false claims that the 2020 election was stolen or that vaccine mandates were part of a government conspiracy.

…

The effort stems from an executive order Trump signed on his first day back in office, instructing the attorney general to coordinate with other agencies to “correct past misconduct by the federal government.” Officials said the IWWG is central to carrying out that mandate.

Government records reviewed by Reuters suggest that the working group’s discussions have touched on figures including Comey, former infectious diseases chief Anthony Fauci, and military officials who oversaw COVID-19 vaccination mandates. Other topics reportedly discussed include the prosecutions of Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro and the handling of the investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection—though senior intelligence officials have denied that such cases are being reviewed.

Misconduct investigating misconduct…..what could go wrong?

This Goon Platoon smells fishy to me…..and we know that Donny is an expert at fishy, right?

Little Marco And The Salvadoran Connection

ICE rounds up suspected illegals and ships them off to El Salvador to Donny’s buddy for incarceration….plain and straightforward, right?

Maybe not as up and up as you might think….

We already knew back in March that President Donald J. Trump had made some kind of very dark quid pro quo with the dictator presidente of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele: millions of your tax dollars to El Salvador in exchange for the country accepting deportees into El Salvador’s notoriously brutal prison, CECOT, where hundreds of people have died. And then Bukele and Trump hyucked together in the Oval Office that El Salvador should build five more mega torture prisons, just for Americans, har har!

The administration rushed to deport hundreds of people to El Salvador, including Kilmar Abrego Garcia by mistake, racing to get the plane in the air before a judge was able to stop them. You remember all of that, about 600 corruption scandals ago.

And now it turns out that behind the scenes the deal was even dirtier than it seemed at the time. The Washington Post reports that Secretary of State Marco Rubio made another secret agreement with Bukele: to turn over nine members of MS-13, ones who were informants that had made deals to cooperate with the US government. Not just any informants, either, but ones who had dirt on how Bukele allegedly met with top members of MS-13 numerous times between 2012 and 2015, while mayor of San Salvador, and quid pro quo-ed them to reduce the number of “public murders” to help himself get elected president, in exchange for plushy prison conditions or release.

In one instance, a Bukele official even hid a gang member who went by Crook de Hollywood in a luxury apartment, then gave him a gun, and drove him to the Guatemalan border. He eventually wound up back in the US, where Joe Biden’s DOJ picked him up again in 2022.

Not only that, “US authorities suspected Bukele’s government had used U.S. Agency for International Development programs to benefit MS-13’s leaders, according to three people familiar with the investigation.”

How many times has Donny used MS-13 to justify his ‘crackdown”?

And yet they cut a deal with a person that was an enabler of MS-13 why is that?

How long has Donny been in bed with MS-13?

His rhetoric is always total lies and bullshit….Americans know it and yet they are stupid enough to keep kissing his ass…..why is that?

Thoughts?
