I'd be surprised if he didn't

Look on the bright side; hopefully it'll catch on fire due to an electric short, or Canada, or something, during one of Trump's shindigs and him and nine hundred of his “friends” will get trapped inside due to overcrowding and insufficient emergency exits and will burn to death in abject agony.
Yes! Disregard the code! Don’t even think about the building code!
And don’t worry, the ballroom certainly won’t fall down with you inside it, piggy!
We should be so lucky.
It'll probably collapse on a kindergarten tour group while piggy is in Europe meeting with Putin.
I have never been horny before in my life, on account of being asexual, but the thought of this ballroom collapsing under shitty building practices while housing the top thousand richest bastards in society, is certainly making me feel something hormonal.
Never in your life? I always assumed asexual meant very rarely horny, not literally never. Is that common?
Forty years old, still a virgin. Sex-repulsed. Doesn’t cause a problem in my life. Immune to most advertising. Watching people make the same stupid mistakes about birth control time and time again, and never understanding why. My line ends with me and that’s fine.
Edit: why did people downvote my answer, and not the question asked of me? Does that mean I shouldn’t have answered, or that I should have answered in a sex-positive way, or do they straight-up think ace people aren’t real?
What about sexual pleasure like from touch and orgasm?
being sex-repulsed doesn't necessarily mean you don't enjoy self-pleasure. there's not one "kind" of asexuality, there's a spectrum
You already know what the answer is.
And besides, I’m intersex. Loads of people take for granted that their genitals formed well-enough.
I’m not invested in sex or discussions about it. It actually skeeves me out.
Along those same lines, they should have a Wizard of Oz ball using the original snow recipe from the movie.
Code requirements? Dude those are not just useless regulations. Those are for your safety and the soundness of the building. Only a complete moron signs off on a build that ignores building codes. But here we are.
I expect they'll probably follow code anyway? Because you know as soon as dipshit is out of there, they're going to have to inspect that thing for safety reasons. And the contractor probably doesn't want the reputation of building absolute crap.
On the other hand, if he's as good as picking construction contractors as he is at picking lawyers or cabinet positions, well...
Seriously. i get ignoring zoning and permitting because fuck everyone else, but skipping CODE requirements just means your building fucking sucks.
All he’s doing is giving a future president an excuse to tear it down. Plus, visiting politicians and influential businesspeople usually don’t like to hang out in unsafe buildings.
Ignoring the law just because you were told to is no excuse in court.
Everything he's doing is probably going to have to be torn down and rebuilt.
probablycertainly
FTFY.
Even if by some miracle it isn't an unsafe, condemned piece of shit, it's still a blight and a travesty of historical proportions that will need to be corrected by restoring it to the previous design.
Hey, Canada, that's kind of your thing isn't it? Seriously, though, please just burn the while fucking White House to the ground! (again) Cause we're never gonna be able to get Diaper Donnie's stench out, anyway...
That seems like a feature not a bug. I don'thave an issue with tearing literally everything down that's tied to him.
I am confused, what ballroom is this talking about? Do you mean the Epstein ball room? That makes sense...
I think we Canadians would be happy to help with any extensive remodeling your White House requires.
Maybe you can paint it orange this time.
Wouldn’t it be a shame if the Epstein Ballroom collapsed in on Donald?
He’ll blame THAT on Obama.
That’s not going to happen because it’s not going to be built. The next president is going to inherit a demolition site and the Republicans are going to complain that the Democrats are denigrating the office of the president by failing to deal with the construction site.
If that ballroom is finished by the end of his term, I'll eat my shoes.
If the US gets a new president in 2029, I'll be devastated if they don't take the opportunity to do a major speach or something against the backdrop of a half derelict East Wing - it would be iconic.
If Trump leaves office willingly before it's completed, I'll eat mine.
Please let this end the way I hope it will…..
With an electrical fire in a ballroom full of 900 of Trump's enablers and the doors fail to open due to corner cutting?
One major part of fire code in most areas I've ever worked in is that the door access control system must be tied into the fire alarm so an alarm event will kill power to any doors with maglocks. Every door also needs its own exit button to again directly cut power if the automatic motion detector fails to let anyone out. Let's hope those were the things missed.
This feels like a Nero burning Rome moment.
Funny thing is, even Nero wasn't this blatantly corrupt and evil. Most of the myth of the 'fiddling while Rome burned' story came as propaganda from his enemies (long after he was dead too). What we're seeing here is undeniable proof that Trump is the biggest POS in America
A DC burner instead of a CD burner.
You win.

Tip:
In markdown, add two spaces at the end of a line for a linebreak.
As is, your art is spread to 2 or 3 columns on a wide screen.
It’s probably filled with foreign listening devices anyway and will need to be completely destroyed
Would be hilarious if the schematics of the ultra secret surveillance hardware in and around the wing get leaked to a foreign party.
White House ballroom project has become costlier and larger than originally anticipated
You don't say! And nobody except everybody expected this?
The only other unsurprising thing here is that they managed to balloon it like that while ignoring building permits and code, as many times those cause the ballooning in some way. Incompetence and corruption go far too with ballooning though
In my fantasy world the next president will blow up the ballroom with literal dynamite, and then install a row of portable toilets near the white house with dump's stupid fucking face as the toilet seat
I think it should be turned into a homeless shelter.
You shouldn't sit in a seat of such power and prestige without being forced to reconcile the most downtrodden and in-need citizens you are serving.
Anyway, vote for me in in 2028. My platform is, I'm tired of watching you all fuck this up.
Are you less than 60 years old?
Yes, and with enough margin to serve an unconstitutional number of terms and still be under 60.
Of course. The plan is to do something for those who most need a leg-up, and plans like those don't come from a cohort raised in an era of self-reliance myth.
Ah. Right. Less than 60. No chance of getting elected.
Except maybe if you're a stylish dude with good policies you can become mayor of a big city and also woo the commander in cheese.
AoC/Mamdani 2028? Kick out the bootstraps?
the extent to which i don't care about this is astonishing.
We all should care. Not only is the east wing destroyed but that’s $350M taxpayers money down the drain. If it doesn’t meet building code we’ll also be on the hook to rebuild it. This is yet more harm to the country and its people.
…… while I’m aware taco Don claimed to have secret private donors, does anyone remember how it went for Mexico paying for his stupid wall?
Stop clutching your pearls and buy guns.
Americans and ignoring the obvious solutions- can’t think of a more on-brand way to handle this
The gestapo feels emboldened to do black bag raids because they are certain the targets aren’t armed.
Violence is not the solution. Justice is the solution.
Taking others land without permission is on brand of "American values" tho.
He's only going back to its roots
What a surprise? Trump is cheating again! Who woulda thunk it, other than EVERYBODY?
And in this case, cheating is even stupider. He's not a normal developer in this case, he's not paying for this, he doesn't have to wait for anything, he can expedite anything he wants. There is no reason to not do this by the book, but Trump is one of those guys (I've known several) who when offered a choice between the honest way, and the dishonest way, they will take the dishonest way every time, because they think that somehow it will get them something extra, even if it doesn't. It's just their nature to cheat at everything.
But the Dems assure us that the 2024 election was totally "fair & square," and Donald Trump didn't cheat in the only election that would literally keep him from a life sentence in prison. Sure, he's cheated on literally EVERYTHING ELSE IN HIS LIFE, just for fun, but he didn't cheat to keep himself out of prison. Makes sense.
No wonder Democrats lose every election.
