Trump's election-night party will pack 400 people into the East Room of the White House









Editing to add that I checked the size of the East Room, and it's not quite 80 feet by 37 feet.

So it's 10-12 times the size of my living room.

I would NOT try to pack 35-40 people into my living room (even without a pandemic), even if all of the furniture was removed.

After that many people packed in there, most likely without masks, it might be a blessing the Bidens don't move in until January. Going to need that much time to make sure the White House is fully sanitized and disinfected.

That would be a valuable contribution to medical research.

No chance he’s having a small event at the WH if he thought he’d win. He’d be out there soaking up the praise of his minions.

The campaign should be charged an exorbitant fine and people should be prosecuted. This is illegal in every sense.

He's had 4 years in the Presidential Playpen . . .

Presidents have long been the playthings of the PNACers and the Military Industrial Complex,

Trump played THEM.

Whoever wins,

It's gonna be a hell of a ride for the next 4 years - maybe longer . . .
