I mentioned this elsewhere, but even if we just remodel it later (for all it's gaudy "splendor"), the taxpayers are going to wind up paying for this boondongle twice. The fact that it's clearly a money-laundering-grift scheme is just salt in the wound at this point.

Un-doing all of this is the right thing to do, but it'll be seen as divisive and will ultimately cost more, making it politically problematic for anyone in office that cares about all that. You'd need another authoritarian to pull this off, and I'm not sure we want that.

Fuck that. How about Americans own up to the fact that Trump is a symptom of long-term problems and is actually quite representative of what the US stands for these days. Once America has decided to elect a government who isn't outright fascist, then it would make sense to turn this ballroom into a museum to expose this nastiness rather than sweeping it under the rug.

I was thinking of turning into an anti-fascism memorial/museum. Leave the building there as a reminder of what we should be fighting against.

We should turn it into a homeless shelter.

Nah set it on fire with napalm and leave the husk, then turn the rest of the Whitehouse into a museum. The president can live out of a crack house in Baltimore for all I care

Too big to fail is much too big to be any good for American's Maybe some government oversight is needed?

They become donations when you do some paperwork.

Our subprime court says they’re gratuities. Like a tip for a job well done.

"I'm gonna run the country like a business!"

But... why?
