Perhaps John Adams did not have generous donors to pay for the ballroom?
Marauder, you do not disappoint with your lies about Trump, making Wildgrass Shav and Zahlanzi think that taxpayers will pay for the ballroom. Mendacity!!!! All of it will be covered by private donors. Tsk tsk.look it up, I tire of covering and cleaning up y’all’s posts.

You would fare bet ...[text shortened]... n use OUR legal principles such as ‘innocent until proven guilty’. Really? Where does it say that?
In the Constitution, you idiot.

Read the 5th Amendment; only the morons on right wing media pretend that the US doesn't have "jurisdiction" over those present here.

Your quote needs attribution. If we don't know the source we can't make our ow assessment as to its impartiality and reliability. You know how much fiction is destroying our news sources. About the only thing I can be sure of is that it wasn't written by AvJoe because his English literacy isn't up to the task. He would have managed at least a couple of apostrophe-contaminated plurals.
It's probably Google AI. Almost all Google searches now contain a bit from AI. And I'm not sure how I feel about that. AI is NOT always right.

You clearly don't care the Trump corruption is out in the open and no bone about it. Like his nice little jet freebie from Qatar, now being paid for by the fact the ICBM silos are over 60 years old and we have to dig new ones because it is iffy if those ICBM's would actually launch so there is a billion dollar program to make new silos and such, oh, wait, that money was given to Trump for his freebie from Qatar and he gets to keep it after he is no longer POTUS.
But of course no corruption you can find or gives a rats ass about.

Now you have everyone thinking I am an idiot!!! I simply say that an alien (a citizen of another country than the one he is in at the moment) cannot be subject to the jurisdiction of the USA.
So, you disagree.
Then, explain to us what this means. (There is that pesky '...recognized as a citizen' element....)

Yes, it's possible for a person to be subject to the jurisdiction of two or more countries simultaneously.
This is a concept known as dual nationality or dual citizenship, where an individual is recognized as a citizen by two or more nations under their respective laws.
Here's how this can happen:
Different Laws for Granting Citizenship: Countries have different ways of determining citizenship. Some follow the principle of jus soli (right of the soil), where citizenship is granted based on the place of birth. Others use jus sanguinis (right of blood), where citizenship is based on the nationality of one's parents, regardless of where the person was born. When these principles overlap, a person can acquire dual citizenship at birth.
Naturalization: An individual may become a citizen of another country through the process of naturalization. If their original country of citizenship doesn't require them to renounce their original citizenship, they may become a dual national.

"After paving over the Rose Garden and adding gold leaf in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump will embark on his most dramatic addition to the White House yet: a new, $200 million ballroom to be built adjacent to the mansion's East Wing."

Especially after embezzling the money from the poor, the elderly and the disabled in this country.

You were already an idiot. He's just calling you on it.

You voted for Trump and you support Trump.

You hate America and hate Americans.

Biden got his "millions" from real estate.

His is an old family in Delaware, many old homes. He's been selling them to help him pay for his political career.

Meanwhile, I've never seen you ask where Trump got his "billions". You do realize he's made at least $600 million off the American people so far this year, yeah? That's another 0.6 billion. I'm sure his take will exceed a billion by the end of the year. All from grifting the American people as well as "side deals" from countries he's bullied with tariffs into filling his pockets.

He's making so much money off America that he's now concerned with "Trumpifying" the White House. The destruction of the Rose Garden along with the comically oversized flagpoles (now there's some over-compensation for you), and now the $200 million boondoggle "ballroom". Believe me, Trump doesn't need that much room for his tiny "balls". And all in Gold? Worst. Color. Ever.



And all you can do is make fun of an old man.

OK. Everyone, Biden got his many millions, and it is many, from selling a few homes. I assume there were no mortgages, so he got the full boot. How many did he sell and how many has he got now? Never mind no need to answer that, actually no need to further this trite conversation.
I do agree with you for once that the White House is done fine for many many years and does not need any additions. If it’s too crowded, they can have two separate parties.

I do not have experience on in the running of a casino, and find nothing on AI!!!! So do you really expect me to respond about random bankruptcy of a GAMBLING company???? The business itself it a gamble, do you not see? Jesus, sonhouse, Take a trip to the wonders of Italy. Take a break/.
RANDOM. What a CROC. It was NOT random, it was a direct result of Trump borrowing up the kazoo and spending WAY to much on gee galls like gold everywhere and THAT is why it failed and it was not 'RANDOM' as if that was the only one. There were NINE absolute business failures BESIDES the half dozen bankruptcies and if you think that is a normal occurrence you are sadly mistaken. REAL businessmen don't fail like that because they KNOW when to stop blowing money at a useless venture, Trump has proven time and time again he does not know that economics 101 taught in every high school class.

Proven?? He has proven a lot of things, and all that you say was part of a plan, and the old adage you have to spend money to make money. I bought a biz once with a plan to bankrupt it, I turned it around and made money. How bout you tell us about his Successful businesses. Maybe he profited about 85% of them? Wheeling and dealing?? Success in my book, and his net worth tells the story. Didnt you already write about this about 5o times??? geez

The ONLY reason he is rolling in cash now is BECAUSE he is POTUS and uses corruption to parlay his holdings to generate cash he would not have the capability to do if he were not POTUS, CORRUPTION RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN is why he is getting richer by the day.

If he lost the presidency last November he would have pretty much lost ALL of his business empire, for instance he could not keep paying the monthly premium on Trump Tower and that would have gone into default and go down as business failure # 10.

But he used the power of the presidency to cur favor around the world and now he DOES have a multi billion dollar deal going, which when he is no longer POTUS he will screw THAT one up as well.

Can you switch gears and start writing about the future of the Democratic Party, as we are getting quite tired of your hatred spewing on this forum over and over about a man who has been extremely successful. And has made our economy, the envy of the world. Everybody wants a piece of our country. Nobody wants a piece of Romania or Liechtenstein or Australia or El Salvador or the ice skates in Finland.

This hatred as you view it is a desperate cry to keep democracy intact and not run right into another kinghood which Trump is doing his damndess to achieve.
And you are so blind, being a nice tame MAGAT you can't see CRAP for the gold Trump spins in front of you. And when it is finally clear Trump has totaled SCOTUS and House AND senate AND DOJ it will be WAY too late and even then you would be too stupid to see that happening, you will think it is just fine to be living in fear which of course YOU won't being in the total loyalty crowd and getting a nice cushy job that formerly was given to competent people but you will fit right in with the rest of the MAGATS.

So you go Biden got his MANY millions selling homes.
But totally ignore what she said which BTW is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH, Trump has gained over a half BILLION from taxpayers already and they just killed the silo rebuild financing of a billion dollars, giving it right to Trump of course indirectly so he OWNS the plane after he leaves office.
So continue worshiping a king, you don't care and I have never seen you say you want our democracy to NOT fail but thrive.
