Remember when the ballroom was going to be $200M privately funded and definitely next to the East Wing but in no way interfering with it?

And then they bulldozed the East Wing...
And then it was $300M...

And now it's $400M taxpayer money.   :o   >:(   :(

And of course the spineless Lindsay Graham flipflops right with it, like a shark out of water with no cartilage.
Actually more like a sycophant lamprey with no cartilage latched on to the giant orange turdfish.

Lindsay Graham's lips have been firmly attached to Trumps anus this term. The lamprey seems like a pretty good analogy.

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

LOL, lefties getting worked up over $400M for ballroom while they look past hundreds of billions in fraud in states like MN and CA.

Below is the non-Trumptard way to deal with your swerve, Dougie:

Fraud of any sort, regardless of political party and including fraud in California and Minnesota, is wrong and should be eliminated.

It's not the money.  It's just like everything drumpf has done for 40 years.  Saying it's paid for, it's a deal, and then... yank!  Just foolin' - it's all on you.  What an asshat.  I can't believe people continue to fall for his s#!t.  It's so predictable.

Agreed, just about every liberal democrat politician and probably about half of the R's should be investigated and charged with any crimes that they were involved in related to fraud.

Like the people that believed Obama when he said you can keep your doctor and your rates will go down. Libs will buy up any BS their political gods tell them, and when the truth comes out and you point it out to them they are so consumed by their latest rage bate that they don't care that they have been continually fooled.

If you're going to drag that one out, you'll have to recall the republicants ranting about 'socialist death panels' to repeat on Fox Lies until a lot of people believed whatever their idiot gods were telling them, when the only real resistance came in the form of same republicants neutering the mandatory coverage that was going to make it pay for itself.  And also that drumpf spent his whole first term promising that he'd have a huge great new bill to replace the affordable care act in weeks, easy.  He said that for three years.  Second term, guts it, with no replacement, and people who were using that marketplace saw their premiums increase by 50% or double.  So there is that.

Rabbit hole opened.

Public option. Eliminate the for profit model that our current worst-in-the-world "healthcare" system is based on.

Outlaw lobbying and make congresspersons and every fucker in the White House use the same system that the rest of us schmucks use and it's guaranteed that something would be done.

All that aside, you original comment made it seem like only R voters are gullible. I just wanted to point out that it is a two way street.

We would more likely see WW12 before we see that happen.

It's not even just the voters.
The truly pathetic is the R reps and senators who at least have the insider's view and one would think shouldn't be so easily hoodwinked by the media messaging, and they go along with this nonsense all the same.  Even W played the fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.  These guys are like fool me eleventh, is their candy to go along with this?  No?  Only Vaseline? And I have to bring my own?  Well, I guess if it'll keep you from calling me unintelligent on your Lies social media platform.  Where did you want that kiss?  Oh, directly on the anus?  If you insist.  Promise not to drop a load right now?  No, no, that's fine too.  Fool me twelfth.  Am I allowed to chew?  No?  Swallow it whole then, at your service sir.
