Trump’s Claims Of Threats To National Security Have Gone In A Weird Direction
www.huffpost.com
The administration has repeatedly used claims of national security as a get-out-of-court-free card. This might be the most absurd of them all.

    I remember reading an article speculating that it was not really a ballroom, but a facade overtop of some sort of secret data center

    I think this is the same woman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbJ4ilDvGyc who identified that the receipts only make sense if it isn’t a ballroom, but a datacenter.

    & that datacenter, obviously, would have no oversight ( my observation, not hers )

    So, the correct title should then be “Trump’s $400M ‘Ballroom’ is necessary for national security”…

    So don’t worry: it’ll be part of his backing of ICE’s predation on his enemies, so that’ll be fine, then, right?

    & the “checks & balances” in government will prevent him from doing anything bad, just like they already have done so, rightttt?

      Okay just from comments I’ve learned (so possibly incorrect, quick Google said it was there) is that Hitler did the same thing for his personal bunker. Like building a ballroom and making a bunker underneath.

      How many red flags is the US population going to tolerate this? Yes I know health plan and job security arguments, but their country is going to hell in a hand basket.

        propaganda has pacify most of the US, first they did it with the right continious messaging, and the “left” with bombarding with politics have turned them off so they are apathetic.
