Trump told crews working on his White House ballroom to ignore permitting, zoning or code requirements: report
(www.independent.co.uk)
Would be hilarious if the schematics of the ultra secret surveillance hardware in and around the wing get leaked to a foreign party.
Why?
Why would it have to? I mean, in pretty sure its designed and built by foreign parties, at this point
Which one? I thought they were already in CC

In my fantasy world the next president will blow up the ballroom with literal dynamite, and then install a row of portable toilets near the white house with dump's stupid fucking face as the toilet seat

What a surprise? Trump is cheating again! Who woulda thunk it, other than EVERYBODY?
And in this case, cheating is even stupider. He's not a normal developer in this case, he's not paying for this, he doesn't have to wait for anything, he can expedite anything he wants. There is no reason to not do this by the book, but Trump is one of those guys (I've known several) who when offered a choice between the honest way, and the dishonest way, they will take the dishonest way every time, because they think that somehow it will get them something extra, even if it doesn't. It's just their nature to cheat at everything.
But the Dems assure us that the 2024 election was totally "fair & square," and Donald Trump didn't cheat in the only election that would literally keep him from a life sentence in prison. Sure, he's cheated on literally EVERYTHING ELSE IN HIS LIFE, just for fun, but he didn't cheat to keep himself out of prison. Makes sense.
No wonder Democrats lose every election.
Not surprising. Like it also won't be surprising when the whole thing collapses on top of some elitist cult.
White House ballroom project has become costlier and larger than originally anticipated
You don't say! And nobody except everybody expected this?
The only other unsurprising thing here is that they managed to balloon it like that while ignoring building permits and code, as many times those cause the ballooning in some way. Incompetence and corruption go far too with ballooning though
So when this orange despot is gone the whole place will be condemned until it can be proven safe.
And how many listening devices?
The mad King's Follies.
You don't get immunity for this.
I just hope it collapses around him, taking his largest donors with him. That would be a nice bit of poetic justice.
Skipping fire permitting on a ballroom is an amazingly stupid idea. Hopefully they don't all burn alive in the giant dumpster they're building. crosses fingers
What if the Cybertruck was a building
Fuck that orange SOB. He's gonna have a lot of hell to pay before long
