    There’s definitely other legislative issues to handle first, but the next democratic president needs to spend a chunk of their early days undoing all the cosmetic damage trump has done to our shit.

    The next president will not be able to live in the building.

    1. Donny probably shit all over the place and it will have to be gutted and fumigated.

    2. It’s wired directly to our enemies.

    3. They hired budget contractors so they could skim as much as possible off the top at every level of construction.

        I think 1 is a not-implausible joke, and 2 represents a whole spectrum of real risks even if that’s not exactly how they’d do it.

    The minute he’s out, they should rip out this monstrosity, and replace it with an exact replica of the original East Wing. And Trump should have to pay for ALL of it, the original destruction, all the construction, the new destruction, and the rebuild.

    He won’t need the money any more anyway, he’ll be in prison, along with anyone who would have inherited it. It’s our money now.

      The only thing that’s allowed it to move forward is that the Court has essentially said that only congress has standing to sue over it.

      Congress is changing in a few weeks, and they should sue over it.

      Honestly what’s worse is that it’s all spray painted Styrofoam.

      I’m sure he paid gold pieces for it though. It’s so incredibly tacky and poorly executed.

      You know when Nero did that, they tore it down right after he killed himself* and built a the coliseum in its place.

      *Note: he killed himself rather than let his own guards murder him.
