In the Age Of Trump the news can’t just be “hey, this happened”, no, it has to ZOMG, EVERYBODY PANIC!
Legend says that George Washington once chopped down his father’s cherry tree.
Satellite images show President Donald Trump’s project to build a $300 million grand ballroom has appeared to take down at least six trees on the White House grounds — including two historic magnolia trees commemorating Presidents Warren G. Harding and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The satellite images released on Thursday provide the fullest picture yet of the extent of the demolition work on the White House’s East Wing and its effect on the surrounding parkland — changes made without consulting the government commission established by federal law to ensure the preservation and integrity of government buildings in D.C., according to former commission officials who spoke to ABC News.
Visible construction work on the new ballroom appears to have begun more than three weeks ago, according to satellite images of the White House complex taken over the last month. An image taken on Sept. 26 shows preparations for the construction, including the removal of multiple trees in President’s Park.
As StevieD noted before ABC took down their original tweet (but put a new one up) “I guess if the construction of a ballroom is dominating the news cycle and is all we have to complain about, things in the US are quite good.” Yeah, we do, but, it’s all about the TDS in the Credentialed Media.
Pretty much. But, hey, funny how the media isn’t too concerned about this
Our King’s new Ballroom/Disco will be yuge and fabulous and classy.
Elites will no longer have to party in Hilton Hotel function areas like common people at a wedding reception.
Destroying the East Wing (dating back back over 1/2 of our nations history span) will allow us to begin a new year one history with the election of our first King! Our New History begins now! Year 1
My God, you’re a complete moron!
Johnny-just think of the east room remodel as someone going through “transition”, and you libs will be ok with it.
Remember, it will be “built back better”!
Jill equates humans with a building. How christian of you.
Do you feel any president has the authority to tear down the White House?
Transgendered individuals are real. Do you have any evidence to support the reality of gods?
Too funny-and liberals equate cutting a man’ dick off as being a woman. I’ll take the building any day!
Relax!!
You can’t build a monument to stupidity without chopping down magnolia trees!
The destroying of OUR White House East Wing, suddenly, without warning, is the perfect metaphor!
BTW, during the second* longest (so far!) shutdown in US history the Peace Monarch is dancing in Malaysia.
BTW, BTW… Our USDA has a $6 billion SNAP food relief contingency fund that they REFUSE to allocate, preferring that poor kids go hungry. States will not be reimbursed if they use their own funds to pay for benefits.

* He also presided over the longest shutdown in US history!! December 2018 – January 2019: 35 Days! “Let Them Eat Cake!!”
That Donald Trump sure is an evil genius! he’s trolled our good friends on the left so bad that they’re all worried about a remodeling of a small part of the White House, something previous Presidents have done, when it’s completely legal and being done using private donations rather than the taxpayers’ dollars.
Dana is guilty of underexaggerating (i.e., lying) again, but is only following the lead of his Master, Chubby Don, who lied earlier that the East Wing would not be touched. The truth is that it was destroyed.
The next Dem President should demolish the Epstein Ballroom and rebuild our East Wing.
Donnie the Great White Whale saw what was happening to the economy and needed one more distraction.
Release the Epstein Files!!
Really, Galera Therapeutics needs to work on a miracle drug to treat Trump Derangement Syndrome!
The Monica Lewinsky Ballroom hasn’t been built yet; how do you know that it won’t be grand and useful?
Oh, that’s right, it won’t matter. It could be absolute heaven on earth, but for our TDS-infected friends on the left, it has to be torn down, destroyed, plowed into the earth and the ground then salted. Donald Trump could walk on water, and the left would whine that he was stomping on the poor little fishies.
Dana should contact Galera or major pharma companies and suggest they research TDS!!!
Poor Dana. Mostly he seems upset that Donnie is criticized.
A gilded ballroom isn’t the issue – it’s that King Donald decided to destroy part of OUR White House. We know, we know “that Negro” painted lines on a tennis court there!!
Rather than discuss issues, our debater East of St Louis wants to deflect any criticism of King Donald as a disease!!
Does he feel that a US president can demolish US property without debate or criticism?
Rimjob: “A gilded ballroom isn’t the issue…”
Well it certainly seems so to our petulant little child who likes to emphasis the word “negro” when referring to Obama.
Who’s the racist here anyway?
Go whine to Chuck Schumer for the shutdown.
Tell him to do his job.

Bwaha! Lolgfy!
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
The problem is that to hold a state function, they had to bring in port-a-potties and tents. Now the visiting heads of state will have more room and able to use the restroom.
Can’t liberals find something worth bitching about other than everything Trump does?
Massive debt, inflation, shortages, healthcare costs skyrocketing, troops in the streets!, aircraft carrier strike force headed to Caribbean, government controlled by billionaires, most divided populace since the Civil War, trump’s America is falling apart… sure, things are great.
Overexaggerate much, chubby?
They’re beginning to ccrack.
— So is this a trade-off you’re willing to make and continue to make, letting some Americans go hungry until these Obamacare subsidies get extended?” Tapper asked Murphy.
Murphy dodged the direct question and instead accused Republicans of stonewalling bipartisan talks. —

Regarding the so-called private donations implying the gilded Ballroom is free of charge!!!
The big donors received billions in tax breaks for their companies in exchange for millions (billions are bigger than millions).
Additionally, King Donald is testing the waters for gouging $230 million out of the Ministry of Retribution. Deputy AG Blanche Todd can sign off on it. He promises to give those taxpayer funds to charity.
Rimjob insinuates there’s a quid pro quo for private donations without offering a smidgen of evidence.
Hell even Comcast (MSNBC, Rachel Maddow…) donated a bundle.
Poor thing tries so hard to be relevant.
