"The East Wing will be replaced by the ballroom, offices for the first lady and her staff, as well as new “guest suites” for the “President’s White House Guests,”..."

Guest suites.

Torn between straight outrage and an Epstein joke.

Leavitt: Permit needed "Only for vertical construction."

How about for bunkers? 🤔

Not Like Normal People @notlikenormal.bsky.social · 16h

Vertical construction seems to mean "above ground" in contractor speak. There's also reporting that the bunker is being enlarged and modernized. Bunkers are not vertical construction. And the ballroom walls will be mostly bulletproof glass.

WHY?

Q: Can the president tear down anything he wants without oversight? Could he demolish this building or the Jefferson Memorial?

LEAVITT: Only for vertical construction will a submission be required.

Q: So it sounds like the answer is yes

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

"I used to hold different opinions " is not the same as " I didn't know what the totenkoph is" and that bro in the audience who's all conspiratorial. Dude, just say Jew, this is taking forever.

Was I supposed to know that it's perfectly fine to serve a half-cooked steak but 'weird' to serve a medium rare potato? I'm allergic to potato, so never bothered learning. But I know that most vegetables are better crunchy. In the future, I will microwave the potatoes for longer.

And then I looked at the Wikipedia page for the ballroom.

Oh. I see. (For fuck's sake.) (He's just so fucking petty.)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_H...

Screenshot from Wikipedia: "Traditionally, formal events at the White House are held in the East Room, which has a seating capacity of 200 people, or in specially constructed tents on the White House grounds for state dinners. President Donald Trump described the tents used for events as "not a pretty sight".

During President Barack Obama's first term in office, at least as early as 2010, then-private citizen Trump spoke to senior advisor David Axelrod and expressed a desire to build a ballroom on White House grounds. In 2016, during the second term of the presidency of Barack Obama, then-candidate Trump offered to pay $100 million to fund a ballroom at the White House but was rejected.

Bulletproof glass in the largely glass walls is a start. What's going on with the bunker?

I’ll just say in this guy’s case, he’s been outed already for having definitely told people exactly what the tattoo was as early as 2012. Which is more than enough time to laser that off before running for office.

But according to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a Totenkopf, the “death's head" symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II.

"He said, 'Oh, this is my Totenkopf," the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. "He said it in a cutesy little way."

The exchange occurred in 2012 at Tune Inn, a popular dive on Capitol Hill where Platner later worked as a bartender and was a frequent patron while he attended The George Washington University on the G.I. bill, according to the former acquaintance. He would often take his shirt off' drinking with friends late at night at the bar, and on at least one occasion had stated he knew what the tattoo represented, the former acquaintance recalled.

Platner gave varying accounts of the image during this time, saying at one point he was aware it was a Totenkopf when he had first gotten the tattoo several years prior and at another time claiming he had not known, according to the former acquaintance.

Platner says he's been shirtless a lot in last decades and nobody mentioned it was a Nazi tat. There's two reasons I can see for this, you're a biggish dude with a Nazi tat and they are scared or your friends are cool with it because that are also pro nazi

"I'm a voter who wants to not fund genocide..." is an interesting reason to vote for the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

After the blowup about the first tattoo, his description of this as "some kind of..." belies, at best, a certain lack of curiosity about the cover-up that is disqualifying. Then, add in that the new ink is also sketch. But it represents what he thinks now...vaguely...I guess.

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want?

TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.
