E) Link to NBC News

The information "has come out recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed, but the military is building a massive complex under the ballroom, and that’s under construction, and we’re doing very well," Trump told reporters on Air Force One. "So we’re ahead of schedule."

Whoever initially surmised that the whole point of the thing was to retrofit the C&C center under the white house, come get your flowers

I remember there being at least one of us saying it at the time.

Yeah please. Someone find the original comment so we can shower it with adulation

I'm still convinced by the (AI) data center argument. It all fits so well: https://youtu.be/VbJ4ilDvGyc

Tldw: Larry Ellison built these already in Israel, there's details like massive water and electricity upgrades, HVAC, faraday cage shielding etc. having it under the White House would basically make it an extrajudicial, extra-parlamentarian (no oversight) safe haven for whatever the heck the president and his evil stooges are up to.

It's not a Hitler bunker.

I promise you, someone on his staff got the idea from Rick and Morty. I bet it has levels with a bar and a McDonald's and some other unmentionable rooms where the screams linger in the walls.

I feel like Richie rich had that

Lol they already have plenty of bunkers and hideaway's for the president that are safer and more secure but okay build one in the obvious place. And tell everyone.

Das Freetobunker

I saw it on bozo news yesterday (CNN). Trump literally had huge pictures of the ballroom on air force one, and he was like "oh btw there's going to be a deep underground military bunker under it"

the future is tunnels

My favorite part is when Treatler and his entourage eat cyanide-laced Big Macs in the bunker right before they croak.

Hope it will have an integrated burger king

What im really shocked about is he didnt spend the money to do this near Margo largo.

[-] PurrLure@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Swamps and beaches are a pain in the ass to build underground in.

TFW no Florida subways. catgirl-huh

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
