I think a glance at the ballroom thread by lobsterlight (Christopher Nathan) on Threads is worth a lookyloo. He apparently knows EVERYTHING about that ballroom. Def worth your time. My take is (besides OrangeAss fake flag shit) that he is planning on owning the White House Ballroom (living in the bunker forever) and renting it out for eternity to subsequent inhabitants of said White House.

“It will be funny. It will be entertaining. There will be some shots fired tonight in the room,” Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on the red carpet just moments before the dinner at the Washington Hilton hotel. “Everyone should tune in, it’s gonna be really great. I’m looking forward to hearing it.”

Has Donnie started fund-raising off this latest assassination attempt yet?

jltympanum's avatar

DFT has been the target of 3 assassination attempts (so far!). You would think he would have gotten the message by now.

To be fair to DFT, he's pretty dense.

I assume the hotel doesn't shut down for the WHCD, so there are visitors staying in the building who aren't associated with the dinner. Why not have the WHCD at a venue like DAR Constitution Hall, or the convention center, where there aren't other people wandering around?

The question about having TSA somehow control the train stations as a solution was idiotic. How many days does Blanche have left anyway, from 120?

OT How come the Zuckerberg wants to sell us down the river, the Yangtze River, to China?

Fortunately the Chinese don't want us as their problem. Dunno why. We're so cute in morning.

Not at all grumpy or bitchy. Of course we have a lot of debt and bitch about "groceries"a lot.

And have you SEEN the line at Starbucks this morning ! Sheesh Louizze !

So the solution is building a $400 million ballroom that dwarfs the White House, not gun reform.

BASH: And you have, and as many of your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. And do you think twice about that when something like this happens?

ANYONEWITHABRAIN: You absolute fucking moron, you unformed lump of shit, you know-nothing lackwit -- do you think twice when people wonder why there are no reporters anymore, just useful idiots who carry water for their corporate overlords and parrot the most exhausting bullshit to protect a rapist, con artist, and pedophile?

Let the blame games begin. Only the best dontcha know.

Feared Trump Enforcer Suddenly Becomes Target for Shooting Blame

Susie Wiles has called an urgent meeting to discuss Donald Trump’s future security needs as she comes under pressure over the massive breach at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

There was a massive breach in Butler, PA! When are y'all gonna get your shit together, Suzie?! Or, you know what? Don't get your shit together. Keep sending Donnie out in public with lax security.

So it's a woman's fault? Oh, thank goodness -- I was afraid women were going to get through this administration without ever receiving blame.

Even if a judge hadn't stopped it, would that ballroom even get finished by the end of his term?

The ballroom is a giant boondoggle. The firm that is contracted to complete it received another government contract worth about $17.4 million that during the Biden presidency was only $3 million. No other bidders which is supposed to be illegal. Also, too, private firms are paying for it with no transparency? How does that even work? He keeps farting out of his anus mouth stuff about the military being deeply involved in this Bunker Ballroom. I seriously doubt that if they're involved the private donors will start paying their military salaries. That will be the taxpayer. Cretin is including the military to make it seem "crucial" and also to take money from the Defenses large pile to pay for it.

Raskin once said that an entire civilization would be exterminated if the ballroom was built, right?

Well, as I've said before, we've had a good run.

Please don't ask me what my standards are for a "good run."

I barely have any standards for anything else, and I'm sure as Hell

not gonna start here with them now.

Besides, I'm out of coffee and I think I gotta pee.

Most importantly, I wonder if they left any cookies this morning from

their adventures of Running Amok last night. My grandkids that is.

I have just been musing whether that bunker beneath the ballroom will have a McDonalds. That should add to the frivolity.

I feel like LDL really needs to do some hard work for the nation.

You know, reminds me of an adage I coined. Assholes love to demand deference and call it respect. Once again the Dems aren't allowed to say what the GOP say everyday. And no, criticism of Trump is not raising the temperature in the room. For fuck's sake, the right sold truck wraps that had Biden hog tied for their truck's tailgait.

Because that is how bullies ALWAYS operate. What we have in this country is a classic victim-abuser dynamic.

No Quid Bro Code's avatar

Yes, but you have to remember that only Democrats have agency and anytime the GOP does something disastrous, it’s because the Democrats let them.

Or forced them to.
