Well, the American people are a little bit pregnant with the ballroom concept, given that the East Wing of the WH is no longer useable. Der Dotard did it this way so that anyone with a say-so would be faced with the choice of approving the project or having a partially demolished "Peoples House" on their hands.
What I want to know is who is holding the funds for the project? That money, if it exists, should be in the hands of the GSA or the entities which NORMALLY would have responsibility over such affairs.
Just think: if the Epstein Files had been released, we would not be in this mess right now...
At this point Der Dotard could shoot Mike Johnson's wife in the face on fifth Avenue and no one in the MAGA Party would say anything beyond how good she looks with a hole in her forehead ...
