The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.

Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.
I don't want to know the answer to this and I am not even an American. Simply too dreadful.
Did anyone spot moving vans outside the White House recently that could have been used to remove precious, historic furniture, mantel pieces, fixtures, chandeliers, lamps, and portraits from the East Wing to safety?

Sports Journalism is the foundation of all journalistic writing. To be able to capture the readers attention on an event when the reader already knows the outcome is real talent. Hone your skills.
If I wrote a 2,500-word essay on baseball, would non-sportsball people read it? That's what I'm asking myself right now.

Please for a moment think about if there was a Jewish candidate for NYC Mayor, how much time would a debate spend on questions on whether or not they will keep Muslims safe?

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.
