The Trump administration said Monday in a court filing that the president’s White House ballroom construction project must continue for reasons of national security.
The filing came in response to a lawsuit filed last Friday by the National Trust for Historic Preservation asking a federal judge to halt the project until it goes through multiple independent reviews and wins approval from Congress.
In its filing, the administration included a declaration from the deputy director of the U.S. Secret Service saying more work on the site of the former White House East Wing is still needed to meet the agency’s “safety and security requirements.” The administration has offered to share classified details with the judge in an in-person setting without the plaintiffs present.
What was that conspiracy theory that they’re building an underground data center and the ballroom is just a cover?
Starting to sound a little less wacky…
Or was it a Putin-esque apocalypse bunker?
Somewhere he can hide while the masses attempt to physically remove him, before he can call in the military to murder them all?
That’s one of many things I find batshit insane about the US election process - the fact that there’s a months-long period after the votes are counted and a winner declared that the losing president is STILL PRESIDENT and can just do whatever they want FOR NEARLY THREE MONTHS!
Wouldn’t be surprised if he nukes everyone.
So yes.
Imagine he does run down there after losing the next election. He screams, “you can’t make me leave!”
And then they just leave him there, power on, data cords cut, so he can still push the buttons that make the screens blink
With the amount of digging going on in the photo it certainly looks like there’s more than a ballroom going in …
People theorize that they’re installing extensions to the presidential bunker.
its where he meets with putin for all his meetings.
