Why did they ask for a billion dollars from the taxpayers?

It says it in the bill.  For security uprades and such.  It's not for the construction, which is what my post was about.

Construction is paid for but in order to use it we need to spend a billion on security upgrades not included in the construction?

Ok, you're moving the goal posts.  Gotcha.

Why would security upgrades be included in the construction costs?  Or, is your point that why aren't we getting donations (which you thought were illegal in the first place), to pay for those costs?

You would think when you construct a building that you include security features for the building no?  No locks on doors?

What security features are needed for a billion dollars?

You poor weak, low IQ, liberal. You are still hurting from your banning. You should serve the time out. Be a big boy.

No, I wouldn't think security features would be included in construction because GC's build, they don't secure.  I'm sure they were instructed on what to do and not to do for upcoming updates, but no, I wouldn't think they would be included.

I don't know, I'm not in security.  My guess would be multiple metal detectors, possible chemical detectors, video surveillance, etc.  No idea why you'd think a construction crew would be involved in that.  Nor do I know how much those things cost.  Do you?

It’s about Trump’s vanity. Duh.

[Engorgeous George]

I presume part of the cost is for Arthur Murray and/or Fred Astaire dance lessons for secret service so they czn blend in seamlessly while guarding the prez during a Ball.

[Reality]

What a bunch of crap, I was always under the impression that if you bought a ballroom you get 1 free state-of-the-art security system for free. 

I'm blown away by how focking stupid some of you are... Seriously, well done.

If a Dem added a focking ballroom to the WH for these people to eat their dinners in and kiss each other’s asses while at the same time taking away funding for health care, national parks, food programs while prices for everything were exploding and that the price tag for the ballroom ballooned from 200 million to over a billion it would be a meltdown of epic proportions.

You maga people are a special breed.

Nah, you just whine like a little b i tch because it's Trump. Wouldn't raise an eyebrow if it was a democrat. 

What should really upset you is the fact that the government confiscates $5 trillion dollars a year and still can't balance a budget. 

If it wasn't this ballroom, it would be something else, you sky screamers have been reduced to white noise.

I don’t believe that for a second. If this were Biden or Obama it would be talked about nonstop. You are kidding yourself. 

Your balance budget stuff is a straw man. But yes Trump and Republicans suck at that too.

The whole point of DOGE was to crack down on federal spending, and now we have a G.O.P. Bill proposing $1 billion in spending for a masturbatory $200 million ballroom we don't need. MAGA would melt down if Biden or Obama did this, particularly at a time when Americans are experiencing economic hardship from the president's reckless actions.

This underscores MAGA hypocrisy and how they support whatever Trump says and does, despite it being a contradictory 180 from what he has previously said and done. Then MAGA whatabouts and plays the tired TDS card when reasonably minded people with common sense point out the madness of it all.

[zsasz]

So much for "donors" footing the bill!

MAGA fell for Don The Con again.  Let's see how they spin this.

Sounds like it should be stainless steel walls, benches and tables for easy clean up.  No absorbent fabrics anywhere.

They should ahve contracted with some Amish or Menonites to raise them a barn out back where they could host barn dances.  Bring back square dancing, the Virginia reel, and drunken brawls over some fella eyeballing the lift and size of your date's bustle.  I bet they could have had that rascal up inside of two weeks and for well under 10 million dollars, hay bales included.

The No-Bid Contract That Is Turning Washington’s Reflecting Pool Blue

Apparently Trump broke federal law & granted a no bid contract to the guy who does the pool work at the country club he manages on the weekends.

Apparently Trump decided that the Reflecting Pool should be blue.

Should have got the good people at Lucas Lagoons to do it.  They would have had a lazy river around it and at least two really nice grottos as well.

Anybody defending this ballroom is a 100% certified Trump simp.

Somehow sycophants found something even more embarrassing to support than his war on Iran.

It's not Trump's ballroom, you mentally challenged Pedocrat Libtard. 

It's America's Ballroom for all Presidents to enjoy, not just Trump. Public ballrooms in hotels are not safe, in case you haven't found out.
