Gold is Trump’s marble:

Trump does opulence very well.  The thing smacks of power and excellence without being gaudy.  

That is not true. This gaudy.

That said. I don’t mind the ballroom. A bigger event space would be a good thing and it’s new construction, not destroying the existing WH.

Kinda agree. The gold portrait frames, and gold dust collectors from the WH vault are over the top.  I kinda like the gold white color combo in general.

This week was the WH Christmas party. Followed shortly thereafter by the WH Christmas party. And this coming week by a few more WH Xmas parties. 

Would it be possible to consolidate a few of these? I believe the Obama’s had 17 Xmas receptions one year. 

If they had the space they probably could. Say a ballroom of sorts.

Should hire whoever Carlton Varney's pupil/replacement is at Dorthy Draper for the interior...the guy that did The Grand and The Greenbrier.

It is nice to know that whatever is happening on the ballroom is National Security.

To be honest, I don't have a problem with that.  Outside of the Pentagon, the White House should technically be the most secure building in the nation.  I don't want to be able to go online and be able to find blueprints / details of this construction with the intent to find blindspots in security.

I mean...it is.

 

Having these "big room" banquets at 3rd party sourced venues comes at a risk.  Why not bring them "in house" to a more secure venue?

This is America. All "banquets" should be outside and involve a pit and a smoked, whole pig.  Fuck elegance.

In looking at the lawsuit it appears no one is demanding blueprints. You can read their views at the site below. Did they get permitting to tear down the old building? Did they get permitting for the new building. They claim all property is controlled by Congress, did Congress approve this?

Judge does order stoppage, for now. However, it's not just a ballroom. According to the President it's also a massive military complex.

I have to believe there was a bunch of secure stuff under the old East Wing as it was.

There was. The President wants it bigger and better. And lots of gold!

A good friend will bail you out of jail, but your best friend will be sitting next to you in the cell saying "that was f***ing awesome"
