I don't have time to read it, but even I'm stunned by this one.

They approved the project this week, long after construction started and after the judge issued this ruling. Hopefully that's the end of it and it moves forward.

My political beliefs are that everyone should be held to the same high standard regardless of party and things presidents do should be judged on the individual merits of the action. That's a tough ask in a polarized climate.

People who criticize everything Trump does as an instinctual response without putting a lot of critical thinking into it are being ridiculous. The fact that some people think everything he does is automatically bad and illegal to the point they scream to the heavens is quite sad.

People who defend everything Trump does as an instinctual response are equally ridiculous. The fact that some people think that everything he does is automatically good and above board to the point they scream to the heavens is equally sad.

Where were these judges when the federal government was trying to take my job away from me for refusing an experimental "vaccine"?

This project was needed

It was funded privately

It was always going to be approved

The grown ups understand this

TDS consumed Leftists are ranting and raving and trying to stop it purely for that reason.

Acting like Trump is tearing down the Lincoln bedroom to put in a brothel just gets old

Almost every "liberal" I know thinks the ballroom is a good idea. Currently receptions are done in tents, which are an insane cost since security has to be re-done every time. A permanent structure is a great idea.

"Liberals" are objecting for two reasons...

First, he shouldn't have torn down the existing structure without consulting the historical society. This isn't Trump's ballroom, it is America's ballroom and Trump won't be president forever.

Second, Trump does think and has always thought that rules don't apply to him. He is an ends justify the means guy, and unfortunately he believes that his opinion and only his opinion is the "ends." I believe that the ballroom idea would have been approved by Congress and the project would have happened. But by ignoring the procedure and taking private donations Trump now will pay those donations back tenfold with federal funds, pardons, and ending investigations... just like he always does. That is why there is a process for doing stuff like this and why private donations are bad. In Trump's world, Trump now owes those donors.

The White house is America's house. It wasn't his to tear down. It was America's choice to tear it down.

Oh horse*****

There's no way you're getting 7 Democrats in the Senate to give Trump ANYTHING...

This judge is a Bush 43 appointee. No matter, this should be disregarded.

Republicans just do not understand the concept of what type of people to appoint as judges. Dems literally never do this to each other. Never!

Making it a national security issue is a good way to turn the tide in favor of executive branch

What EXACTLY is the goal of the plaintiffs?

To leave a great big hole and **** tons of rubble next to the White House for the next 2.8 years?

I've never really understood the whole concept of their suit...


ETA: I agree with your assessment on national security
