Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Maybe they finally realized when trump retreats to that after refusing to leave office....
That it's not gonna be big enough for all of them.
If he tries to seize the country as a dictator and locks himself in that bunker, all the Republicans who helped him up to that point are gonna be standing outside the door trying to get in.
If he can't retreat to a bunker, they won't have to fend for themselves.
Although I gotta admit, in the back of my head I was interested to see if we'd really just cut communication lines and pour concrete over the entrances and exits in that scenario.
If it happens, we should just entomb him under the White House in that bunker as a remainder to every future president that when push came to shove, the people won.
The oligarchs need a constant reminder of what happens when the majority of a country feels they have nothing to lose.
We gotta deal with the shit, might as well get the silver lining out of it.
Plus, him being entombed under the White House would make for great ghost stories during tours.
'That sound is his children still trying to scratch their way out'
Feel good hit of the summer right there.
Hear... Smell... Either way, that's going to be one unpleasant encounter.
"If you look in the mirror at 1am and say covfefe 3 times Old Man Trump will appear and shout FAKE NEWS!"
Little chance construction would be finished by Inauguration Day anyway.
trump doesn't understand how real construction works, because all his projects have been grifts.
He promises cheap, fast, and well constructed...
But none of that ever materializes because his goal is money not actual building.
This is probably the only thing he actually wanted quality and on budget, and zero people willing to work with him can do that. Every connection he has is a grifter. But because he cared, he assumed everyone else did, but they still saw it as another grift.
So he likely had no idea what an actual timeline was when he bulldozed the existing one.
He could end up with a fancy bunker door that leads to an unfinished tunnel.
Oligarchs won't need a reminder when they're all hanging upside down too.
