In reply to the discussion: Best idea I've heard about what to with "the ballroom" when we have a Dem president [View all]BannonsLiver

Ive been twice. Some of the Third Reich buildings are still in use today. But I take your point. The ballroom should be destroyed. Problem is our right wing media would turn it into a scandal for whoever that new Democratic president is, while continuing to ignore or sane wash the Trump atrocities.
Why is President (fill in the blank) wasting taxpayer money demolishing a perfectly good building? Is it petty revenge against Trump?
That would be the tone. Of course, I say do it anyway and fuck the both sides scumbags in our national political media.

Maybe but I can't bear the plans to diminish the White House by this gargatuan monstrosity.
