@Mott-The-Hoople saidTell me, in the entire history of the White House, how many times was the present ballroom so full they wished for something bigger. One analysis says it would be an improvement over the tents used for large parties now. But still, TRUMP designing it? The oval office ALREADY looks like a rich boys whorehouse with the most tasteless crap dangling from the walls Trump thinks is beautiful, in fact it looks TASTELESS, the decor of a would be dictator. He LOVES accoutrements involving displays of wealth, tasteless crap made of gold and looking REALLY FAKE even though it MIGHT even have a patina of gold, maybe one micron thick. It is GARBAGE meant to impress but NOBODY is impressed with maybe the exception of Trumps own MAGAT base.
What about the other 800?
@AverageJoe1 saidProposed law: If your full time employees qualify for SNAP, your company will be billed for those costs. Taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing substandard wages.
You did not answer my question, so I will pass on yours......but here is a new one...HOW can you say we are spending more than we did last year, AND AT THE SAME TIME support your legislators who today are demanding that we provide medical care to illegal aliens in our country.....they want $1.5Trillion.
You won't answer this question, so we can play question games. Your turn ro ask me one.
@wildgrass saidIt doesn't matter in the slightest what we post to less and average, he will just come up with more BS in a word salad.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidWTF do we need a ballroom for a 1000 people?
What about the other 800?
The White House is supposed to be where the President lives and works not for lavish parties for his billionaire buddies. 200 is more than enough capacity for State functions.
@sonhouse saidIf Kamala were doing it, would you be upset about the ballroom, esp since we have to have tented celebrations and dinners for global dignitaries, like the Egyptians who have to walk on wet grass in their sandals? To sit in one of about 200 yard chairs?
I guess you forgot there already is a ballroom for TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE.
But OF COURSE not good enough for a criminal POTUS who wants the place to look like a rich boys whore house. But for you, TRUMP is the one who says what is gauche but the problem there is Trump wants EVERYTHING to look like a rich boys whorehouse. He can even remember it by the same initials, WH.
If Kamala were doing it, tell us what you would say today, keeping in mind that it will COST NO MONEY.
I will hate the gold, though. Tacky, don't you think?
Everyone gets ready for a dishonest answer. Hey Sonhouse, a great opportunity for you to segue into the latest on Epstein!!!
@wildgrass saidThe question was, given that you are upset that we are spending more than last year.....follow me...that you see nothing wrong with democrats want to spend an extra $1.5 trillion including medicating ailiens????

Why dont libs answer questions? I do.
@AverageJoe1 saidIt's not extra. It was there before. Republicans are the ones adding new spending.

@AverageJoe1 saidIt costs NO MONEY? Are you DAFT? 300 MILLION is coming from somewhere and here is a prediction, when this monstrosity is finished and the contractors come up with invoices, Trump will go SCREW YOU, I'll give you HALF, if you sue, I have WORLD CLASS LAWYERS. THAT is exactly what he does to ALL his contractors. Some have lost tens of thousands because Trump is a BASTARD, could care less about his employees or anyone else who is not a billionaire.

@wildgrass saidI am not so privvy as to whether it was there before, i will take your word for it, for ease of discussion. SO, if we have $1.5T just sitting somewhere, dems want to use a major portion of it to medicate aliens.
It's not extra. It was there before. Republicans are the ones adding new spending.
You register discontent that we are spending more than last year, that is what you said above. So, an analogy.....If my wife and I have $5000 set aside (like the $1.5T) and she wants to use it to pay for the healthcare of a neighbor who is not a citizen of our country, and thus not a citizen of our neighborhood, I will say to her, as you would, ,,,,,"We have already spent more of our budget than we did last year, Martha. How can you justify giving our $5000 to these people????" "It is like we are in a hole, and you ignore that!?!?!? Do we have an obligation to these people?? I have not even met them! They could be communists!!"
Normal comment, please... I am worried in your wrestling with this that you will go Sonhouse on me.
@sonhouse saidIt is difficult to field your comments which are all predictions....and all Trump. Trump, who rode on the Epstein plane, by god

@no1marauder saidI wasn't in the room when they hammered out the requirements, if you will. And there is a lot to be said about appearances, No1Marauder, with all due respects. You fellers would have bitched about the Pentagon in 1943 if Trump had been president. That statement makes you squirm, you know that you indeed would have.

Appearances? To show the world, the Netherlanders and the romanians and nigerians, all of them, who the top dog (country) is. Impressions, Marauder. Impressions. And, we do it because we can. USA can do anything. We are so rich that our leaders who have made the country great can pay for it out of pocket. Citizens of other countries?? Cannot.
Oh, you never did answer....if Kamala had commissioned this (taxpayer funded) would you be OK with it, all excited, or just mad as hell?
Remember, when you answer stuff we know if you are lying!!! 😉
@AverageJoe1 saidOh my Joe. Lying around?

Republicans are running the deficit up by a billion dollars an hour. Right now! They will spend $7 trillion this year. But they can't pay for food or health care? Do you even care what they're spending it on? The grift is insane.
You were fooled by DOGE. It didn't save taxpayers anything. Spending is way way up since Biden left.

@wildgrass saidYou write about Doge and imagined grift, when the Biden's were full of it, apologies for mentioning them, but give me a break. This post is not about grift or Doge.

Focus , now, you are going SHouse on me. I guess I can tell you what the Dems are doing as we speak, costing billions and ruining lives, no paychecks fllights cancelled, danger in the skys with less floight controllers. Dems can kiss my ass! (oops, get angsty like a lib sometimes)
So you are upset about the repubs, but 78M voted on their policies. IMAGINE how much the dem polices would be costing us now if Kamal were president!?!?!? It would be more, and you know it.
So let us all agree that govt expenditures are what they are, and the Forum is not going to change it. Shav wants to feed everyone, that is fun to toss around. We are just having fun here.
Anyway, you avoided my post above. You know, the couple with a budget? Wgrass...should they pay for the neighbor's meds??
I think I will go check on a Sonhouse podcast.
@sonhouse saidI agree, sohouse. Tacky. Gold is laden in the Saudis castles, ....now, we do not want a castle do we? I guess Trump is not talented in some areas, but he is in the ones that count. What a negotiator.

Have you seen where he 'sets up' his counterparts with unreasonable premises only to flip them later. He simple know what he is doing. Leave him alone!!
I do think he will lose witih SCOTUS on the tariff matter regarding there being an emergency. It is not one. And, we do not want you libs to say climate change is an emergency, now, do we.

Trump spends more 🤑💰💰💰💰. A lot more. We're already $300 billion above last year. Just a few months to go. They replaced federal expenditures for healthcare and food stamps with expenditures for national guard to cleanup trash in DC ($100/hour times thousands of troops for months on end), private jet date nights for Kash Patel, great Gatsby parties in the white house. Etc.
Wake up. They're spending MORE money now.
When are y'all going to get it
