I really need people to start to realize that we're at least a full decade further into the erosion and decline of the United States than most people seem to think we are. Trump is a symptom of an already sick and dying system. This isn't a fluke

I know it's a meme but I really wish they would quote sources. Now I have to look it up. The burden is on the one making the claim.
EDIT: Ok, I looked it up and it seems like BS. It may be true and would be easy to believe but White House maintenance is not a line item that is broken out. The amount spent is divided into many different buckets appropriated by Congress (probably on purpose) and is difficult if not impossible to determine. The term maintenance would need to be uniformly defined. Does it include secret service infrastructure, for instance? There have been a number of instances that have exceed $2.5M. It also seems pretty clear that Trump's "maintenance" budget is the highest ever. But Bush and Obama both spent hundreds of millions of dollars to essentially reinforce the aging structure.
You're welcome.
If you're going to complain about the lack of sources, you might take the time to do accurate research before calling BS. The source took took me about 3 minutes to find. From the Washington Post:
The Executive Residence, which employs housekeepers, curators, calligraphers and carpenters, has not previously managed major construction efforts, experts said. In recent years, Congress has appropriated $2.5 million annually to its maintenance account, known as "White House Repair and Restoration."
Since Trump took office, the administration has directed $875 million to that account, public budget records show.
If you’re going to complain about the lack of sources, you might take the time to do accurate research before calling BS.
What? Not how that works. Thanks for ultimately providing a source though.
Thanks for looking it up
but I really wish they would quote sources
This vinyl is really hard to find.

EDIT: I'm sorry. I seem to have accidentally and totally not on purpose posted this image of a rare vinyl in the wrong community.
There was another option on the ballot which meant this wouldnt have happened.
He's pocketing the whole thing. He's gluing fake gold onto WhiteHouse fixtures to make it seem like money is being spent but mostly he and his family are just pocketing the majority of it.
It's a data center. The ballroom is just the cover.

Why would it be a datacenter? We have lots of federally controlled datacenters. And data can be transferred at the speed of light, even if they want a direct line from the white house to a dedicated datacenter it'd probably be built in northern Virginia
It's not a datacenter underneath, it's a luxury bunker. Trump alludes to it all the time when he talks about "the ballroom". He always speaks of the ballroom as a matter of safety
From the article
And this has to be at the White House specifically because location determines oversight. When infrastructure is part of the Executive Office of the President, when it exists at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, it can be classified under executive privilege. The East Wing sits directly above the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, the bunker where Dick Cheney sheltered during September 11th. By demolishing the entire East Wing, you create space to expand that existing secure facility, integrate new infrastructure, go deeper underground. All protected by the classification that covers anything related to presidential security.
And the White House has never been in more disrepair and parts of it literally look bombed.
When Fidesz campaigned for getting elected in 2010, they only asked for one or two terms.
Once they got elected, they asked until 2030.
Around 2020, their think tanks claimed we can only think about a "post Fidesz society" after 2050.
Meanwhile I've heard that some people within the party wanted to turn the words "liberalism" and essentially "democracy" into synonyms of "chaos".
The moment mothers scold their children for having a messy room by telling them there's democracy in their room rather than anarchy, we have finally won, and turned democracy into an unthinkable ideology.
All because some stupid, ignorant bigots wanted to "own the libs"
They've been conditioned to want to own the libs for a while now, and FOX News has gotten super good at it.
The fear and outrage and open bigotry are the hook that pulls people in. Then the red-pills (the conspiracy theories) invite the viewer to disregard all other news sources that run contrary. They're being gaslighted the same way an abusive spouse isolates their partner so there is no where else to go. Soon the viewer is in an information silo, just them and FOX News, alone together.
And then every story confirms the MAGA ideology.
I don't know if there's a counter for it. Reagan got rid of Fairness doctrine in news media, and our education system long decided that critical thinking skills beget disobedience.
to escape from and distract from krasnovs dear friend, epstein, and to keep ms maxwell quiet.
He moves in, and immediately tears up half the place, and now he has to spend his entire term staring out at a big muddy hole. He's such a redneck, the next thing will be wrestling matches in the front yard.
