White House ballroom project has become costlier and larger than originally anticipated
Donald Trump encouraged those working on the construction of his new White House ballroom project to disregard traditional permitting, zoning, and code requirements, according to a new report.
Since announcing the project in July, Trump’s ballroom has become larger, costlier and more destructive than initially thought – raising concerns about whether the president is following historical rules when it comes to a White House addition.
The ballroom’s capacity, initially thought to be 650, has been raised to 900. Its cost has nearly doubled from $200 million to $350 million. Its construction, which Trump initially said would not interfere with the integrity of the current White House, has led to the destruction of the East Wing.
so, same standards as his NY condos.
the extent to which i don’t care about this is astonishing.
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
I think it should be turned into a homeless shelter.
You shouldn’t sit in a seat of such power and prestige without being forced to reconcile the most downtrodden and in-need citizens you are serving.
Anyway, vote for me in in 2028. My platform is, I’m tired of watching you all fuck this up.
Would be hilarious if the schematics of the ultra secret surveillance hardware in and around the wing get leaked to a foreign party.
You can bet they’re Israeli and Russian contractors working on planting as many bugs as they can
Which one? I thought they were already in CC
So when this orange despot is gone the whole place will be condemned until it can be proven safe.
You don’t get immunity for this.
Rules are for thee not for me.
“Rules aren’t for rulers.”
I am confused, what ballroom is this talking about? Do you mean the Epstein ball room? That makes sense…
Might even have something to do with bubbas balls
Yes, the Trump-Epstein Friendship Ballroom
With extra gold trimmed glory holes in the men’s toilet.
Ignoring the law just because you were told to is no excuse in court.
Look on the bright side; hopefully it’ll catch on fire due to an electric short, or Canada, or something, during one of Trump’s shindigs and him and nine hundred of his “friends” will get trapped inside due to overcrowding and insufficient emergency exits and will burn to death in abject agony.
🤌 GORLAMI
Amen. 🙏
Please let this end the way I hope it will……
With an electrical fire in a ballroom full of 900 of Trump’s enablers and the doors fail to open due to corner cutting?
Were megacorp CEOs/biggest owners invited too?
One major part of fire code in most areas I’ve ever worked in is that the door access control system must be tied into the fire alarm so an alarm event will kill power to any doors with maglocks. Every door also needs its own exit button to again directly cut power if the automatic motion detector fails to let anyone out. Let’s hope those were the things missed.
Code requirements? Dude those are not just useless regulations. Those are for your safety and the soundness of the building. Only a complete moron signs off on a build that ignores building codes. But here we are.
I expect they’ll probably follow code anyway? Because you know as soon as dipshit is out of there, they’re going to have to inspect that thing for safety reasons. And the contractor probably doesn’t want the reputation of building absolute crap.
On the other hand, if he’s as good as picking construction contractors as he is at picking lawyers or cabinet positions, well…
I’m sure it will be built by a contracting company incorporated just for this purpose. And after this, it will be dissolved. They’ll have no reputation to defend.
Four Seasons Total Landscaping is about to land another big job
Seriously. i get ignoring zoning and permitting because fuck everyone else, but skipping CODE requirements just means your building fucking sucks.
Now we know how his buildings are made. It’s probably best not to live in, or even next to one.
I’ve seen what happens when a construction guy gets to build their own buildings out of sight of inspectors. It’s not pretty.
Shhhhhhh! Let him play in his castle. It keeps him quiet.
I think we Canadians would be happy to help with any extensive remodeling your White House requires.
Maybe you can paint it orange this time.
yeah come give it the ol 1812 special please
Burned down, fell over, sank into the swamp
Yes! Disregard the code! Don’t even think about the building code!
And don’t worry, the ballroom certainly won’t fall down with you inside it, piggy!
I have never been horny before in my life, on account of being asexual, but the thought of this ballroom collapsing under shitty building practices while housing the top thousand richest bastards in society, is certainly making me feel something hormonal.
Never in your life? I always assumed asexual meant very rarely horny, not literally never. Is that common?
Forty years old, still a virgin. Sex-repulsed. Doesn’t cause a problem in my life. Immune to most advertising. Watching people make the same stupid mistakes about birth control time and time again, and never understanding why. My line ends with me and that’s fine.
What about sexual pleasure like from touch and orgasm?
being sex-repulsed doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t enjoy self-pleasure. there’s not one “kind” of asexuality, there’s a spectrum
It’s a spectrum, but there are people who are literally never horny. It’s not common though.
We should be so lucky.
It’ll probably collapse on a kindergarten tour group while piggy is in Europe meeting with Putin.
Along those same lines, they should have a Wizard of Oz ball using the original snow recipe from the movie.
Asbestos?
