Is the ballroom some kind of secret code or something? Why is Trump hung up on this?

$39 trillion… so far.

You know you’re burning through a lot of cash when a Republican gets nervous about all the spending.

Debt republicans have approved. They solicited, approved, and funded this. Every fucking cent.
The GOP is a goddamn cancer

“Ballroom Republicans” should be a constant phrase coming from Democrat Reps and Senators now. Please do everything you can to make a nation of lonely, incel, misogynist men defend the need for ballrooms from the cabs of their pristine trucks.

Here is an idea? Stop the billion dollar s day war

Maybe we need to stop giving the richest people and corporations more tax cuts. And rescinding old tax cuts that continue make the deficit worse….just a thought.

Soon to be 40T.

So with this thought process when should be able to fund social program since we are already in debt.

You can thank your Felon President for that.
Last I saw, he was responsible for 27% of all that debt.
Party of law and order yeah?
Party of fiscal responsibility? Yeah?

Trump has created over a fourth(!) of the national debt, so these people aren’t about to start saying no to him because he wants to spend more money, bankrupt the country, etc.
They’ve never done shit before, and they ain’t about to start now!

>“A meeting space that is secured on the White House grounds that would allow people to do what they did at the Hilton hotel is necessary,” Graham said. “I’m convinced that had there been a presidential ballroom adjacent to the White House, the guy would have never gotten in.”
Everyone who is saying this is conveniently leaving out the fact that the president was only a guest at this event that would have never been held at the White House to begin with.

Modern day “conservatives” are really the most stupidest people in the world.
Fuck it’s actually annoying how stupid they are. It used to be funny, now it’s fucking annoying.

The web of lies are like the spider web veins in his fat legs…they run forever. I thought he was paying for that. Like Mexico paying for the wall that was never finished.

What’s hilarious is this is going to take years and Trump will never set foot in it.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed to me that the conservative subreddit is still hung up on jimmy kimmel and the shooter rather than discussing how they are ok with this ballroom project going from “$200 million all via donations” to now “republicans in Congress will approve a $400 million budget (from our taxes btw) to pay for a ballroom that is so clearly needed”.
So let’s hear it. I want you to explain to us why you’re suddenly ok with *MORE* government spending on a frivolous ballroom when we have every day Americans struggling to make ends meet.
oldbastardbob on
Fiscal conservatism? Haha, isn’t that cute. There hasn’t been a Republican that gives a hoot about the federal budget since Eisenhower. Every Republican Administration since has at least doubled the national debt.
But somehow all those supposed conservative voters still think that the bitchy old Republicans in Congress are good for the economy.
And the dichotomy of their ideology is bizarre. There’s always unlimited money for wars, but never enough for universal health care. Plenty for pet projects, but not enough to fix social security. We’re financing private companies and their space adventures, but have no money for anything that doesn’t funnel cash into billionaire pockets.
Remember when tariff revenue was going to pay off the national debt? Anyone recall when tax cuts for corporations were going to stimulate the economy so much, that the corresponding revenue increase from a booming economy would offset deficit spending, the fundamental justification for “trickledown?”
Seems like the main goal of modern conservatism is to bring the Christian version of Sharia to America. Beyond that the secondary goal seems to be wealth stratification, make the rich richer and everybody else gets to fight over the scraps.

So what’s 400M more? That’s only like .00001 percent.
What’s the big deal?
Sheesh!

So this all is adding up now it is clear. The attack looks to be even more staged now to get the ballroom approval and for taxpayers to foot the bill.
The optics just are so out there on this like wow.

As soon as the Democrats get voted into office and start acting like fiscally responsible adults, the adult-children of this country will look at them like they caused all the problems and vote conservatives back in. Rinse and repeat.

$400M for a ballroom but no healthcare subsidies, school lunches or childcare. Show me your checking account and I’ll show you your priorities.

No. And this is why none of these smoothbrains should have a seat at the adults table.

Oh look, it’s Rick Scott, the guy who defrauded Medicare by 1.7 billion dollars. I am sure he really cares a lot about tax payer money.
I think he reads the room correctly, that this ball room stuff makes the Republicans look aristocratic and out of touch, but oviously he cant say it like that.
