I don’t even think he intends to do that, just hand it off and say this guy is the new president.
Yes. And I honestly do think he can hand this all down to one of his fail-sons
Yes. I fundamentally think he wants to demolish the entire White House and make a shitty tacky version of European palaces.
he’s building himself a palace, not a ballroom.
Yes.
He’s just gonna keep going and take down the whole White House, isn’t he

one of the interesting thing i have seen in the platner discourse is a refusal to confront a thing on its own terms. to his pundit supporters, platner isn’t a novice candidate with perhaps questionable judgment to be evaluated on his ability to win, but a symbol to wield against rivals

UPDATE: More donors funding the demolition of the East Wing for Trump's $250M ballroom have been identified
In my experience there are three types of Libertarians, the ones that live in their parents basement, the ones who are rich and astroturf the movement, and the ones not allowed within 100 feet of anyone under 13.
Argentina is basically the adult who lives in his parents' basement and identifies as a libertarian.
lol, great, so we're now subsidizing Argentine ranchers at the expense of American ranchers. Seems politically sustainable, no questions from me.

*US SEEKS TO QUADRUPLE BEEF PURCHASES FROM ARGENTINA: POLITICO
I genuinely believe he intends to knock down the entire White House and build himself a shitty palace.
"White House Changes Course and Will Demolish Entire East Wing"

Is, if you stop and look at it for a bit, actually a derangedly hilarious headline.
The charity is himself. He’s going to keep all of it.
Q: How comfortable are you w/Trump seeking $230m from the DOJ?

MIKE JOHNSON: Uh, I don't know the details. I just read it. I know he believes he's owed that reimbursement. What I heard is that if receives it, he's gonna consider giving it to charity. They attack him for everything. *changes topic*

Donald Trump pardoned 1,500+ dangerous insurrectionists on his first day in office.

They’re back on the streets reoffending.

Never let Republicans claim “tough on crime” again.
I honestly think the ballroom is just the beginning. I think he intends to demolish the entire White House and build himself a tacky palace.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation warned that President Trump’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom would “overwhelm the White House itself,” which spans just 55,000 square feet. https://wapo.st/4hmL8rC

"As a working class person," is now something that it never was in history up until very recently: a claim to authority, a claim to legitimacy, a claim to the right to speak, which is implicitly denied to your conversation partner, who should shut up and listen
and didn’t challenge the voice of elite white men, whom a large number of centrists are.
No they do believe in something, the Democrats went down the wrong path after Obama, ie got *too* liberal. They want things to go back to c. 2006 when it was enough to like Obama, support gay marriage, and weed legalization. And brown people and other minorities knew “their place”
I honestly don't think centrists believe anything at all. Just as I don't want to see a "mainstream" presidential candidate who hounds homeless people and abandons trans people, I don't want a "progressive" Senator with a Nazi tattoo. The uprights aren't narrow here. This shouldn't be hard.

When we are back in charge brake them up.
the AT&T-->Time Warner-->Discovery series of media mergers were some of the most pointless and disastrous business exercises ever conceived by man

so of course we're going to do it again

this time it's rumored they want $60 billion to sell this mess to Larry Ellison and whatever's left of CBS

The announcement comes after WBD previously said it would split in two.

play a little game with me

every time you see "reporting" on another looming major media merger, check and see if they can be bothered to mention (AT ALL) how this sort of consolidation is almost uniformly disastrous for labor or consumers

I wonder how many we could actually bring up on espionage charges, and punish them a la Rosenbergs.
Again this administration is just one giant running counterintelligence and insider threat crisis
i keep thinking about how they're doing a massive, rushed, and shadily funded construction project literally right on top of the PEOC
Lot of people need to go to jail and a good number executed for treason and espionage.
