I PERSONALLY have no issues at all with the ballroom, I am talking about optics... and if you deny the optics are bad then you are lying to yourself. Same as Argentina (sorry said Venezuela). I do have some problems with giving 40 bil, same as I had issues with funding Ukraine or most other countries during this time, but I am not completely against it. The optics are terrible though, just gives ammunition to democrats.

Yu actually think they just rolled up the equipment, supplies and labor in the last 29 days or something?

The construction of a much needed ballroom or whatever space you want to call it has easily been months or years in the planning.

He offered to pay for it back in the hero zerO admin and was obviously turned down.
Having Melania, Xi or Starmers wife go drop the duece in a porta-potty on the sideline is pretty damn low-rent even for a Tennessean.

The rest is just predictable yammering by the same yammerers that have been yammering for a decade by now.

May be time to give it a rest. If only for a brief respite.

I never signed up to feed and house baby-mamas and their offspring for eternity. I am generous when someone is trying and has hit a patch of poor circumstances, but my compassion ends there. Get back on your feet and support your own responsibilities and leave me the F alone.

Just had a thought-

These people on the tic tock or whatever claiming they “gon do steal whatevs I wan, they cane stop us all’ an’s”.

Well, damn. Ifn’s you good enough to go steal 2 carts of perishable flat screens and Cheetos, hot pockets and sodas, seems you’re more than fit to go WORK at Walmart.

How about trying that in a snap?

You seem amazed these loonies on the left are clueless of what’s actually going on. It’s a requirement to be a leftist.

Well because the left has determined that requiring them to work is akin to bringing back slavery. And besides, it’s disrespectful to require them to actually work. Didn’t you know that?

The Court should not have the power to appropriate money.

This judge screwed up applying the rule. Go figure.

They just make it up as they go nowadays.

The courts have the power to do whatever the courts want to do

Separation of Powers.

“A principle in governance that divides the responsibilities of government into three distinct branches: legislative (makes laws), executive (enforces laws), and judicial (interprets laws). This system is designed to prevent any one branch from gaining too much power and to create a system of checks and balances among them.”

See: US Constitution.

Who is willing to check the power of the court these days

If the Supreme court said tomorrow to double the amount of money we spend on X, everyone would expect Trump to comply

The only check on the courts are themselves

I PERSONALLY have no issues at all with the ballroom, I am talking about optics... and if you deny the optics are bad then you are lying to yourself. Same as Argentina (sorry said Venezuela). I do have some problems with giving 40 bil, same as I had issues with funding Ukraine or most other countries during this time, but I am not completely against it. The optics are terrible though, just gives ammunition to democrats.

Yu actually think they just rolled up the equipment, supplies and labor in the last 29 days or something?

The construction of a much needed ballroom or whatever space you want to call it has easily been months or years in the planning.

He offered to pay for it back in the hero zerO admin and was obviously turned down.
Having Melania, Xi or Starmers wife go drop the duece in a porta-potty on the sideline is pretty damn low-rent even for a Tennessean.

The rest is just predictable yammering by the same yammerers that have been yammering for a decade by now.

May be time to give it a rest. If only for a brief respite.

Jeez you TRUMPOIDS are incredible. No wonder you are considered the dumbest of the two parties...


NO, I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR A LONG TIME and there are contracts and start-up and completion dates... You morons want to "win an argument" so bad that you are gaslighting.


Once again, I am saying the timing and optics could not have been worse... but I know you cultists have your heads shoved so far up Donny's ass that you cannot even admit that. DEAR LEADER can do no wrong ever....

You guys still think this is about the ballroom. It's one of the most successful misdirections ever. The real project is underground where the old bunker was.

The timing and optics could not have been worse for whom? The wackos with terminal TDS? Try polling anybody but hard core lefties, and I bet you find nobody gives a flip.
