It's Not The Ballroom. It's What's Beneath It

[the_liberal_grandpa]

There is a large bunker being built beneath it and with a totally deranged lunatic in the White House I am afraid that his plans are to make it bomb proof so he could hide out there while he launches nuclear weapons.

As we all know he threatened as much on Iran

Now the adiministration claims that the ballroom must be built to protect the pedophile in chief.

I hope someone is keeping an eye on what is being built below ground.

1. Like his hero, he will be sore surprised.

Home for the Führer’s final 105 Days.

2. Also consider how incredibly loose & insecure this administration is

regarding national security infrastructure. There's no way to know who has knowledge of what is being built there; Russian spies/agents could be involved in every level of construction. Severely compromised security could be a built-in feature -- there could bugs all over the place.

The next (Dem) administration might have to demolish and gut the entire ballroom-bunker facility for the sake of national security.

4. none of this can be considered secure

not the balllroom, not the airplane, not the white house itself.

trump's people may have heard every word in the biden white house.

7. Tearing down the existing structure before anything has been approved on a new structure,

leaving the site wide open for months and months is an, ummm, interesting approach to security.

12. It's like putting in a below ground swimming pool.

The contractor digs the hole the day you sign the contract, then you won't see or hear from them for months. What are you gonna do with a giant hole in your backyard, change your mind?

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

19. My thoughts, exactly...

... eom.

5. TOP SECRET. DON'T DIVULGE THE LOCATION

Nothing is bomb-proof.

We lived right nearby "The Blue Cube" in Sunnyvale

Also known as "Silicon Valley’s most likely target in the event of a Soviet nuclear attack." Known to Lockheed employees (with high enough security clearances) as the Sunnyvale Air Force Station, and it kept track of military satellites. In 1983 the Air Force admitted its ability to keep track of the government's military and intelligence satellites was "dependent on the single satellite control facility (SCF) located at Sunnyvale, California."

(Wikipedia)

Clearances? Everyone knew on the sly.

Functions were later transitioned elsewhere.

We had no worries about living in a post-nuclear war scenario.
We'd have been instantly vaporized.

By divulging the details, he guarantees the complete vaporization of Washington D.C. in case of a nuclear attack.
along with his worthless self.

8. More than 10 million people live within 60 miles of DC.

[usonian]

11. He just assured their annihilation in case of nuclear war.

We are definitely living in the Twilight Zone.

But Bunker Boy will be OK.



Too bad he can't read.

[stillspkg]

22. I agree

and Trump's silhouette looks a lot like Alfred Hitchcock.
Sorry for Alfred.

[twodogsbarking]

24. Not unlike high gas prices it is a small price to pay for peace.

I must have flunked life in school "cause I dont have a clue WTF is going on.

[usonian]

29. I liken it to "War is a small price to pay for peace"

Signed:

Too frickin many presidents.

Wars only lead to more wars.

We won't need Vogons to destroy the planet.



We'll do it ourselves, with a little help from our fiends.

[maxsolomon]

6. There was already a bunker under the East Wing.

I'd build 3-4 stories down if I had the opportunity. The ballroom is just frosting on top.

[twodogsbarking]

25. I think the plan is a tunnel to Southern Florida.

[twodogsbarking]

9. How much will tickets be?

[Vinca]

10. I heard reporting that only American steel is supposed to be used in government buildings for security reasons.

So of course, Trump gets $40 million worth of steel from Belgium. Then, of course, there's the "America First" campaign pledge.

[BattleRow]

13. Considering how much bunk comes out of this administration..

A really deep bunker will be required...

[usonian]

14. There are Air Force survival aircraft.

But, of course, no firearms can be discharged in an airplane ....

Then again ...

[appleannie1]

15. There has been a bunker under the WH for years. Maybe it is not solid gold or something so it is not good enough.

[evilhime]

16. he is afraid of us

Remember first term during BLM how they “rushed him to the bunker” because he was afraid of the protesters who were largely peaceful? Of course bunkers have a way of humbling… Adolph found that out.

[odins folly]

17. They argue that it's for his protection....

So, is he not safe right now walking around at UFC fights and shit?

It would not surprise me one bit if this was so he could try and rule by fiat after Dems win the mid terms and want to impeach and remove him. He goes into the bunker and declares martial law and no one can get to him to drag him down the street….

[Lars39]

18. 1. It's for the Russians, or

2. It’s to replace the bunker under the White House after he tears it down.
3. Or a little of both.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

20. They are also building a hospital in there.

That way he can get hospitalized and no one will know because they don't have to take him to Walter Reed Medical Center.

[ms liberty]

21. Remember 9/11? Bush frozen on stage in an elemtary school? Darth Cheney in the WH?

The bunker everyone in the WH was rushed to as soon as everything happened is the already extant bunker, under the (now destroyed)East Wing.
The bunker is not a new idea.

[MLWR]

23. I guess he never heard of bunker-busting missiles.

Or maybe he doesn't think we'd lay seige to the place and not let him get any food, water or medical attention if he decides to go there if a Democrat wins in 2028 and refuse to leave. He isn't the brightest bulb...

[sabbat hunter]

26. There was already

a bomb proof bunker under the east wing. I really think he just wanted a tacky, over the top, tasteless, gold gilded ballroom .
Just like he wants that ridiculous arc de triumph

[Abnredleg]

27. The existing Situation Room is not that big and is above ground

So it makes sense to build a new one in conjunction with constructing the ball room. To be clear, the East Wing should never have been demolished, and hopefully whatever is eventually constructed is far less grandiose, but I don’t have any problems if they build a larger and more modern situation room for future administrations since they’re going to have to do major construction anyway.

[Srkdqltr]

28. How long does it take to build this stuff? Have they done much? are they working while the court cases go on?

Enquiring minds want to know. ??
