Donald Trump is facing legal action over the demolition of the White House’s East Wing, part of a $300 million plan to build a new ballroom on the executive grounds.

A Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees, filed an emergency motion in federal court on October 23 seeking to halt the project, alleging that it violates multiple federal preservation and planning laws.

    The founding fathers would be turning in their graves. This time line is fked man. He’s going to rig the next election if he doesn’t get rid of elections all together. One thing he doesn’t realise is dictatorships like RUS and China have unarmed controlled citizens.

    The USA has the most heavily armed population on the planet.

    He’s fucking with fire and he is absolutely going to be burnt.

    Bro just bulldozed history for a ball room… Insanity.

      I am still waiting for Americans to use their guns to rise up against tyranny instead of using them to shoot minorities

      In an all out war, (which I doubt will happen) all these guns in the population don’t matter against drones, aircrafts, tanks and trained snipers or other soldiers. If the military and all other agencies decides to support Trump, all these weapons will be useless. The pentagon surely has plans for a civil uprising in their own country.

      I don’t think the US has enough ordinary citizen that would actually risk their lives for democracy, to make a difference. Media and social media is controlled by the oligarchy, and even the progressives don’t seem to want to cut themselves loose of twitter, Facebook/Whatsapp, google, bluesky, discord and so on. Where would they don’t even organize?

        Implying the national guard and now heavily armed PDs of all the states support the federal coup, and don’t instead go full guerilla

          Hopefully we won’t find out. Feel like there’s heavily tilted scale towards Trump/republicans when it comes to gun ownership as the other side tends to be more for restricting gun ownership.
