    Didn’t they already collect millions of funding from companies for this in the form of donations? Where has that money gone, oh right straight into Trumps pockets.

    The same people that call literally any government spending a waste and an assault on their pockets?!

    Oh I see, it’s ok when it’s their guy.

        This thought comes to me often too, and how well it’ll work regardless. I also believe that Republicans also know this and use it to their advantage.

        I wish we didn’t live in a political environment entirely propped up on personal grievances.

    This won’t get built any time soon. Dems should introduce a bill to fund the restoration of the east wing from its illegal destruction.

      The idea isn’t to build it, it’s to grift endlessly while it gets built and never finished.

        I promise you, krisevol, a million dollars.

        To give you the money as quickly as possible, I go rob a bank but get arrested.

        Are the police to blame for me being unable to give you a million dollars?

        Or am i to blame for choosing to do an illegal thing and failing to deliver on what i said i was going to do?

        It’s a combination of a lot of things including immense incompetence of the Trump administration. Either way the wing needs to be restored.

    wtf… theoretically, Trump has already received the ballroom donations. While I’m tired of the shooting scam spectacles, it is a sacrifice I prefer to make, rather than pay for this.
