    Politics Good faith privately-funded White House ballroom discussion

    Do we even know what fund the private donations are being deposited into? Who is controlling the fund? It seems highly likely that despite private donations the tax payer will end up footing the bill and the private donations will end up in someone else's pocket. Do we know where the Venezeulan...

    Politics Good faith privately-funded White House ballroom discussion

    The same amount of input any President would have on any other Federal building project, which is probably not a lot. I would imagine the GSA has numerous documents that spell out that design process. The President does not own the White House nor any other Federal building.

    Politics Good faith privately-funded White House ballroom discussion

    Constructing a ballroom for the White House is a perfectly reasonable addition. As an Architect, it is a complete abomination in scale and detail. It should defer to the primary building. Also as an Architect, go through the proper process, permitting, design review, etc. Trump was never...

    Politics Trump’s Health Thread

    I don’t think most Dems wanted Biden to run again. He and his family were clearly not onboard with stepping aside and nobody in the party had enough backbone to force it. I suppose the leadership felt like Joe was the best option to win despite his decline but I think it was more Biden’s...

    I don't think anyone is arguing that Jarin is a star, but he's a really solid role player that does a lot of different things relatively well. I'm glad he's back. I don't mind him starting at the 4 if (a big if) Vessar is at the 5.

    The Music Thread

    Somehow the costumes just fit. Everything works oddly and disturbingly together. Doesn't hurt that they can actually play. It also grooves incredibly hard even with the odd time signatures.

    The Music Thread

    This is so cool. Somehow seems to fit the times. Took me a couple listens to really start enjoying. I love the looping. Almost meditative, but in an aggressive way.

    Politics Iran War | Political & Economic Impacts

    I’m so sick of reporting and op-ed’s that express surprise by anyone (writer, gov’t official, Trump staffer) by Trump’s actions, words or “plans.” For all of those in the back of the room, there is no plan. Period. Full stop. For anything. Ever!!! Even good podcasters like The Bulwark and...

    The reality is the only sure fire great options were May and Lloyd. Everything else is hoping you make a good decision but more often than not it will go poorly. Hope he is great. Glad to hear he might retain some staff. Hopefully he can retain Dixon, Powell, Vessar and the signed freshman. I...
