It's the East Wing. That was built in 1942. It's not historically significant. Honestly, it's a good idea to have a larger facility for the President to host.
At this point, the norms and traditions are out the window and have been out the window since 2008. It'll just continue to escalate now because neither party has control of their flank lunatics.
I guess you're also confused why they don't build skyscrapers all over DC? It's a scale issue. You can build a "bigger" ballroom without building a f'ing arena twice the size of the White House right next to it. And the Jefferson Colonnade that they're planning to trash as well is actually historically significant.
Anyway, thanks for the reminder that non-MAGA Republicans also live in their own fantasy world where every increasingly insane/corrupt/anti-American thing that Republicans do can be brushed off with a "both sides". Obviously Trump's glorious autocratic takeover (that has Werewolf jerking himself into a coma) is all Obama's fault.
meh, Jefferson can pound sand, he built that ugly campus in Charlottesville. Besides, there's dozens of other things to be mad at. Like a government shutdown caused by the Democrats.
Yes, we started the road we are on in 2008. Every President since then deserves blame for this current fever dream of populism.
There are always dozens of things to be mad about with Trump, that's kinda his thing... flood the zone with constant sewage in order to get away with constant criming.
Lol, if you think Obama and Trump are even in the same universe then you've definitely been getting high with Tucker Carlson or something. But if you want to be a historian, it was Newt Gingrich in the 1990s who innovated the strategy of crapping on norms to get ahead, the beginning of the end of bipartisanship, and it's been a downward slide ever since. The Tea Party and MAGA are direct descendants of his "revolution".
Of course Trump has taken that trend and launched it out of the solar system, but this isn't just him. The Heritage Foundation think tanked an entire playbook (yes, Project 2025) to abuse every norm left in the country and burn our two-party system to the ground. I know you guys pretended Project 2025 wasn't real during the election, but you were wrong (or just lying). And we're right on schedule!
