Trump told press details of the underground military development and trashed NY Times for its report, fixating on its claim of “faux windows.”

    I absolutely would have known nothing about the military complex but for Trump opening his big mouth about it repeatedly.

    Knowledgeable people are aware that any construction at the White House also involves fortifications and bunkers.

    When the bombs start flying, lock him outside. Ignore him as he pounds on the door, then runs around the building, banging on the windows, trying to make eye contact with those inside.

    “Will someone draw the curtains, please?”

    This won’t be finished in time for him to use it so I guess someone else is pushing for the bunker and they decided to put a ballroom on top to get his approval.

      Or perhaps the contractors involved are giving him or his associates kickbacks from a construction scam, so, it doesn’t need to be finished ever for him to benefit.

      There absolutely is along with some of the best medical facilities in the world and more food and weapons than anywhere else nearby, they just tend to put POTUS on AF1 to stay mobile during duress but that place is a fortress on top of a bunker fortress.

      Have you seen how enthusiastic Trump is when talking about the design of the ballroom? Trump loves real estate more than anything. So I think it is all about the ballroom.

    Building a bunker at the White House is probably the most useful and appropriate allocations of funds Trump has done.

    It’s a low bar, as they say.

        Made his best artwork ever!

        I mean just consider the dedication needed to make a pièce de résistance right as the Red Army is almost at the doors, using nothing but the raw concrete walls of the Führerbunker as canvas, his trusty Walther PPK as brush, and his own grey matter as paint… I’d dare say it’s the most consequential piece of art of the 20th and maybe even the 21st century. It’s a shame it was destroyed.

        I think he deadass plans on holing himself up in a secret bunker and getting McDonald’s delivered every night. I bet his cover story would be something like a secret daily ritual and it wouldn’t even occur to him that the new president might keep in friendly enough contact with previous presidents to compare notes.

Example:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
