    One necessitates the other, the ballroom is a direct threat to the average person in the US to shut up and accept your quality of life collapsing in realtime.

    If Trump "just" cut healthcare it would be violence without a threat attached which is a waste of effort for oligarchs usually and risks people overcoming their fear to find solidarity in resistance to said violence.

    The function of the ballroom is to empower the cynical voices advocating for complete surrender so we remain shattered.

    100% Trump names this ballroom after himself.

    Building an opulent ballroom while making sure millions will lose their homes, go without healthcare, and starve? This sounds like the last days of the French monarchy.

    The scary part about the ballroom is that he wouldn't be building it at the WH if he expected to be out of there in 3 years. He'd be building it at Mar-a-Lago or something.

    He is planning on never leaving. Or he wouldn't bother. He doesnt do things with foresight unless FOR himself.

    We should. It would be less painful to somehow coordinate everyone to DC than it would be to just live these next three and a half years. I dont want to know what we will be by then at this pace.

    I haven't seen any of the episodes in the years. But considering the creator of the show is French. If there ever was going to be one, it would be his lol.

    I recommend the new series. It's a bit more adult. It's kind of more grown up just like the kids that watched the original are more grown up so far. I'm 5 episodes in and it's solid. Still retains that same frenetic spirit.

    I would think this guy was being so over-the-top cartoonishly evil on purpose just to get us to grow a spine and rise up to overthrow the corrupt government if we were actually growing a spine and rising up to overthrow the government.

    It won't happen, under Capitalism, they have a large part of the working class, PMC class, walking on a salary vs debt thin edge, too afraid to change anything because their world would fall apart. It is a devious plan and it works, prevents them from grabbing pitchforks, and often even attacking those that are trying to rise up against the oligarchs.

    No, no, no. He and his buddies are going to pay for it! They all just came into an unexpected windfall when a bunch of poors decided they didn't need their healthcare anymore!

    Is it to celebrate the release of the Epstein files?

  • source
  • Noo, Trump. You forgot that your palace seat of government needs to be outside of the city so you can have even more control over the royalty totally democratically elected politicans by making them kiss your rancid rear while being out of their offices. You already have the make-up part & ridiculous hair-do down so well.

    You didn't read the article I guess. There is already one at Mar a Lago.

    It also says he and donors will pay for it. Does anyone believe that I wonder.

    Serious question about his supporters: Are they cool with this? Like, hey a $200 mio. ballroom at the white house is exactly what I voted for.

    Who knows. I know there is a rift that has started within MAGA, over the Epstein stuff. I predict there will be no MAGA as it stands by the end of this reign of Trump, siting incidents like these with the ballroom, Zionist, pedos and more to come. Trump isn't worried about anyone, especially this term, as it is with all the presidents as they concentrate on their legacy (ego,) not their constituents, and campaign promises. The working class that voted for him will equally get a wake up call by terms-end, a come to Jesus moment.

    So, I've been going through making profiles for everybody, starting with Jeffrey Epstein, and generating a new, connected note when I see new information (Obsidian). I'm running with the hypothesis and framework that "The Establishment" is a real criminal enterprise. What I've found seems to be five branches, ranging from finance to intelligence, all interconnected. Two prevalent philosophies beyond greed and power: Christen Zionism and Transhumanism. Basically, it is a big coherent effort by lots of individuals and agencies with like goals. Trump, I call the disruptor. Basically, Trump seems to be so full of himself that he thinks he can take on the system AND be a dictator, from what I've gathered (189 profiles, including individuals, agencies, events, timeline, doctrines)

    It's privately funded, so no tax dollars will be used. That's a good thing.
