Republican voters are dumber than dirt.
Go. Fuck. Yourselves. Party of Pedophiles.
How about YOU pay for the Epstein Ballroom instead??? Along with the Hitleresque bunker beneath it--- not that Shitler is going to let you in there when the country finally turns on him.
Go. Fuck. Yourselves. Party of Pedophiles.
Hey now, careful. You're talking about the next major compromise Democrats will make to keep funding Epstein's War.
How about YOU pay for the Epstein Ballroom instead???
You think Lindsey Graham has ever paid for anything in his life? Defeats the whole point of being a US Senator.
I thought they already had the money from private donors and from Trump's personal bank account. Did they paid for it and now need another 400 million more?
Because the donations ended up in Trump's pocket. It was always a grift. Everything he does is to enrich himself.
You lose track after a while. I think at one point Mexico was supposed to pay for it.
I feel the dems should be like “sure, we will agree to this, if you can show us where the already collected 400m from private donors has gone that was supposed to pay for it. Every cent. We will wait”
It is VERY interesting how the drumbeat for "we just gotta build the ballroom now!" began RIGHT after this shooter at the WHCD.
Very interesting indeed.
So all those bribes were never going to pay for the anything other than Trump's down-payment on his beach front property in Gaza. Cool cool. The corruption is laughable at this point. Republicans and Neo-Liberals are pure evil.
Hey South Carolina, member when you had the chance to boot this bag of shit to the moon?
Yeah. Anyway.
Cool.. $400m to a Fuhrer bunker but nah to healthcare, food, or other things that keep people alive.. not one bunker that keeps a fat stupid fucking pedophile "safe" from the people.
What a stupid fucking piece of shit. Someone don't miss this time.
It's a Stargate data center. Millions in Larry Ellison's hardware running Grok
Go eat some cake and be happy, peasant.
The cake is $17. Epay only.
I mean, theat whole ballroom thing is absurd, but so is everything america does for their little kings. The security guards, the tank they roll around in, airforce one... In other countries their leaders often go to work by train, bicycle or gasp drive themselves. While 400 million is a lot of money going down the drain, compared to the rest of the bullshit celebrity ass kissing budget you have to ensure your little princes safety, it's nothing. And it's not even good. People just walk in to the guy. When obama was president there was an incident where someone just walked in the white house and no one stopped them, because they are incompetent as fuck.
"Sparking concerns" my ass. The government has been captured.
This feels like the 100'th time orange guy has said something and immediately after everyone flocks around him and says yes this is what we need let's do some laws and praise him for coming up with it.
I get so tired, the brown nose circus is well oiled and all the clowns are mastering their roles.
Conservatives crave being subjugated. It is fundamental to their ideology.
You didn't really think Trump's pet project was going to be privately funded, did you?
As always, it's Trump's vanity but it's your money and your White House...
Graham said Monday that the ballroom should be paid for with $400 million in taxpayer funds collected in the form of national park fees and customs fees, with the private funding Trump secured going to extra costs like fine china.
oh, the epstein donations go towards the epstein china. pretty simple, really.
lol anyone who thinks that money’s ever leaving trumps personal accounts is a moran . . .
I see what you did there 👀
Where’d all the money go that he raised already? It’s great that these assholes can cut everything else, saying “we don’t have the money,” but find infinite funds when their king wants something.
Oh this was my favorite part of the article...

Haha I think I zoned out midway through the quote from him. So trump raised something like $300 million according to him previously and that’s only going to go to place settings.
I mean it was always a grift.
Every 'donation' is just a bribe and has been from the start.
I'm sure I didn't need to state this at this point.
Yeah, but where’s the money that he raised for the ballroom? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised if he just pocketed it and that our political donation system is not regulated and like everything else, just relies on winks and handshakes, but his grift has to hit some legal wall at some point, right? …right?
They would not have "donated" if they didn't have a clear way to siphon it out to whoever or wherever Trump and his cadre wanted it.
If every elementary school had a 400 million dollar ballroom, they too would be safe!
This would be counter productive. Kids are for raping and bombing only.

i mean duh you left out the mines
.... I dont want one cent of my money paying for a Trump vanity project
You don't get to say what your money is spent on, and you don't get to negotiate how much you want to contribute. That's the power of taxation.
In theory, you can vote for someone who will choose to spend your hard-earned on something worthwhile. In practice, it's an illusion. And pretty soon, Trump will try to dispense with the illusion altogether.
Well, you could just not pay taxes, but thats risky too
