Amid backlash over partial demolition of East Wing, White House reportedly intends to send blueprints
The White House has not submitted plans for Donald Trump’s new ballroom to the federal agency that oversees construction of federal buildings, though demolition is already under way.
On Tuesday, the White House told Reuters it intended to send plans to the National Capital Planning Commission, an agency that typically approves and monitors construction on federal buildings. Demolition began earlier this week, with reporters taking video of a backhoe ripping out chunks of the White House’s exterior.
The New York Times reported Wednesday, citing a senior administration official, that the ballroom plans will mean the demolition of the entire East Wing.
Took me easy too long to realise that wasn’t an actual photo of the current state of the white house…
From Zombieland/2?
Idiocracy.
I won’t hear a word against president camacho, guy was completely uneducated but actually pretty intelligent all things considered. Aknoweldged things were fucked but that he couldn’t fix them, created a national program to find someone who could and upon finding that person immediately put them in charge. Better leader than most in the western world right now.
The most unbelievable part of that entire film is that President Dwayne Elizondo Mountian Dew Herbert Camacho didnt take credit for solving the crisis at the end of the movie.
The above ground pool tipped it off for me.
Idiocracy
Filing plans would signal that the administration was somehow beholden to something or someone.
FSB and Mossad haven’t signed off on the plans yet.
Oh! I get it. He’s destroying the white house as a symbolic metaphor for him destroying America.
No. He’s building himself a better bunker.
This is actually surprising that this government building is just being torn down without any public information filings saying how much is being torn down…
Is this just shoddy incompetent engineering that is standard fare for anyone working for this administration, or is there something being hidden from us?
It’s the “don’t ask for permission, ask for forgiveness” policy.
When do they start asking for forgiveness?
Oh the Supreme Court has forgiven everything he has done so far.
Trump said: „start building“ and someone made sure they got started.
Yes
FSB, MSS, Mossad and other foreign spy agencies must love this.
I wonder how good the security is.
Yeah, I can guarantee that at least one bug gets planted in a wall, floor, or ceiling somewhere important. Hell, with Trump acting like a Russian agent, that may actually have been coordinated right from the start.
He isn’t acting anything. He is a Russian asset.
Ultimately, it’s irrelevant whether he is or isn’t. All that matters is that he’s doing everything a Russian asset would do.
He is a Russian asset, but OP said he was acting like a Russian agent
FSB and Mossad have to sign off on the plans before he can submit them
Well, the exits and command controls wouldn’t be very secret if they filed them:
The East Wing was built on top of the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, a secure emergency underground shelter for the president.
Now that’s interesting. (More info here.)
I wonder what fun listening devices and other random spy shit are being planted there. A future President should probably not use that bunker until the “ballroom” above it is replaced with a structure that wasnt built by someone so obviously under foreign influence.
I had a girlfriend from New Jersey tell me the best way to use your turn signal on the highway is to turn it on after you already started merging. That way the person you’re cutting off can’t speed up to block you, and the cops won’t pull you over for not signaling.
We were dating at age 19 maybe? She had already been in 2 car accidents.
I do know people like that and it’s blowing my mind every single time. They don’t use turn signals if possible, if they do in roundabouts for example, they don’t do it to keep traffic going, they use it on the way out to not get a ticket. Somehow these people never get pulled over or get a fine. I got pulled over randomly and had to take drug tests and whatever. When i asked them why they pulled me over, they just shrugged. My girlfriend who was not a terrible driver, but far from a good one, was once followed by the police for a few kilometres, with the lights on and “pull over” sign and whatever. She just didn’t know, because she hardly ever uses her mirrors, no over the shoulder look etc. when they did finally overtook her and pulled her over, they all just had a good laugh about how bad she was at keeping an eye at her surroundings. I swear if that was me, i would be in jail.
I won’t be surprised if the costs continue to increase past the first projected numbers, and somehow that money is… well, misplaced somewhere.
Oh absolutely. And these contractors are going to get stiffed if they haven’t asked for payment upfront.
It’s gonna be some cheap mcmansion bullshit building that is still eating away billions after it’s completet.
I just want to know how the hell it’s supposed to cost $250 million. I searched for $250 million buildings and found a 25 storey tower, a SpaceX launch facility and the hangar that holds the entire fleet of Air Force One jets. A stupid ballroom should cost a few million tops.
They need to build pedo tunnels and an underground facility for transporting and raping children.
Have you seen the price of gold lately?
They’re adding something special for all the working parents: The Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Daycare.
Rape now, apologise never.
Except this time it’s a building he’s raping instead of children and women.
He never apologizes though. He just demands you accept he has a right to do whether the hell he wants.
Can’t have the secret rooms and wiretap infrastructure documented.
it will be built by russian private contractors… best plans ever… no need to review them…
Given how he usually treats contractors, Russian ones are probably the only ones who would do it - at least they would get paid by someone for their work.
ah yes, the Rembrandt master stroke of “don’t pay contractors until you’re sued”
what a true Artist, of the deal.
This is the most egregious neighborhood building code violation ever.
Busybody neighbors see obvious construction: “DO YOU HAVE A PERMIT FOR THAT??”
Trump: Mind yer own business.
Busybody neighbors: report it to municipal building code authorities
Trump: I suddenly need the govt to pay me $230 million settlement for the litigious mud they’ve dragged me through over the years, and that $230 million will come from taxpayers.
Methinks he owes the white house demolition crew $230 million, and you know how wealthy people refuse to ever pay for anything out of their own pocket.
Update: Trump stated that he’s paying for the ballroom out of his own pocket $300 million and it’s not coming from taxpayers. 🤷🏼♀️
While insisting the govt pay him $230 million from taxpayer dollars that he says he would donate to charity. Fuck you Trump. You’re nothing but selfishness, greed, nonsense, while USA citizens are suffering because you’ve raised prices so high on everything we can no longer afford to live, while you decorate your oval office with gold trinkets. You cut Medicare & snap for your citizens who have no medical care or food, you waged war on Portland based on some fictional ai video you thought was real. I hope all those big macs you’ve been deep throating all your life wreak their ultimate havoc on your arteries ASAP.
Putin…“I suggested it to him but I never thought he’d fuckin’ do it!”
Where they’re going, they don’t need plans!
