    Building an opulent ballroom while making sure millions will lose their homes, go without healthcare, and starve? This sounds like the last days of the French monarchy.

      It’s actually just a distraction. The real corruption is the 5 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires and the 1 trillion in healthcare cuts for Medicaid to partially for it. If you’re talking millions you’re being distracted.

    The scary part about the ballroom is that he wouldn’t be building it at the WH if he expected to be out of there in 3 years. He’d be building it at Mar-a-Lago or something.

      We should. It would be less painful to somehow coordinate everyone to DC than it would be to just live these next three and a half years. I dont want to know what we will be by then at this pace.

      Who knows. I know there is a rift that has started within MAGA, over the Epstein stuff. I predict there will be no MAGA as it stands by the end of this reign of Trump, siting incidents like these with the ballroom, Zionist, pedos and more to come. Trump isn’t worried about anyone, especially this term, as it is with all the presidents as they concentrate on their legacy (ego,) not their constituents, and campaign promises. The working class that voted for him will equally get a wake up call by terms-end, a come to Jesus moment.

      I haven’t seen any of the episodes in the years. But considering the creator of the show is French. If there ever was going to be one, it would be his lol.

        I recommend the new series. It’s a bit more adult. It’s kind of more grown up just like the kids that watched the original are more grown up so far. I’m 5 episodes in and it’s solid. Still retains that same frenetic spirit.

      Is it on purpose that your account has the bot tag on? Made me do a double take, when I saw your comment, haha.
