Thread 2952821

How would you add a $300 million ballroom to the White House?

I would put one underground. The fact he isn't doing this is proof that there's something already down there. And we all know that Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself, so it must be him down there, having sex parties with Trump.

Fuck that shit, make it some crazy art deco outta the ass

Jfc look at all that rebar. Quite insane modern machinery can easily demolish something like that, just goes to show how useless passive security is.

pick a fucking museum most of their shit is likly on loan from the goverment, you could just put tables in the air and space museum. fuck a chandiler have a saturn 5 rocket.

I wouldn't, I'm not a politician so I don't believe in frivolous spending when there are things that need to be taken care of first

This is why president trump carries a concealed side arm at all times. Ain't nobody taking down the most important president we've had for 50 years

>>2952821 (OP)
Trump cgaf about no ballroom.
He's JUST creating a distraction while he empties the Treasury via the tunnel, ala Die Hard III

>>2952821 (OP)
your picrel won't be that far off tbf.

This is where trump will live when vance wins the presidency in 2018. Vance the president, trump the mentor. It's gonna be a great 8 years. Drill baby drill.

>>2952953
exactly
3 portable 40ft jobshacks with telephones and desktop computers would more than cover all the actual official business needs. anything beyond that is a frivolous waste of the publics money

>>2952821 (OP)
typical narcissist spending.

That's where the president's bunker is. The thing they tore down was built to replace the original east wing

Hes taking the loot to germoney

>>2952821 (OP)
The design is reasonable for a state residence to add functionality, and will probably be remembered as a good change despite the memes, the (not very) old wing was very forgettable. The gilding of the plasterwork may not be added judiciously, but redecorating is normal, it can always be improved in the edit.
It's worth making projects like this happen to keep skilled trades alive.

I, for one, support elected or appointed officials working in the most basic conditions possible that do not interfere with their operations. They should also be paid the median wage for the jurisdiction they claim to represent, and any non-salary income from any source should be taxed on a sliding scale that increases logarithmically towards 100%. Don't like it? Don't take the job.

Right now politics attracts the greedy but your way would attract the domineering which is far worse. Greed can be channeled into something productive. Control for the sake of control is never good

>>2953567
Also lower grade civil officials should be conscripted for a fixed term rather than hired because a) this would make people get at least a basic idea and experience how government works from the inside and b) disrupt nepotism and corruption. And only those who served should be allowed to vote.
Too bad people like that will never vote the current politicians into power so that will never happen.

I have a strong suspicion that this whole thing is basically just cover for an upgrade/expansion of the bunker. The current one was built 80 years ago and at this point there have to be structural and infrastructure issues (as well as just different needs, shit the current one predates nukes) that can't be resolved without serious excavation. Trump's ballroom is probably just a convenient excuse to tear the East Wing down.

>>2952821 (OP)
drop it from space. then all will become clean.

>>2953113
i think the ballroom is a good idea but maybe not quite that large.

>>2954295
Bunkers don't work in 2025.

>>2953567
A good start

>>2954295
There is a legitimate need for a large indoor venue. The current practice is to set up tents on the lawn.

>>2952821 (OP)
i wouldnt do it. i would use existing facilities in bumfuck nowhere "insert my country here" to do the same job and tell them thats how it is. you desired to be elected, now you are, here is the cost of being so. show up or loose your job.

Depends on what the threat is. Maybe not for an adversary country attacking but they can absolutely still be relevant in a terrorist situation or a chimpout.

Embezzle $299m and then build a ballroom. EZ PZ

>terrorist situation or a chimpout
If it gets so bad the president has to go hide in a hole underground like Saddam Hussein then the country has already fallen rendering the bunker useless.
