Report: GOP would tap public and donor money to fund Trump's ballroom

The GOP’s New Solution to Fund Trump's Ballroom: Your Money Read the latest Press Pass from @cheetah.bsky.social only @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-gop-ne...

As an aside this bullshit has been happening since *2010* at least across the country outside of the South. (See Ohio, Utah, other red states.) The GOP is determined that urban voters in particular should not have any representation at the federal level if at all possible.

www.huffpost.com/entry/gop-ba... The budget package Senate Republicans unveiled late Monday to fund federal immigration enforcement and trump’s proposed White House ballroom will increase deficits by nearly $72 billion over the next 10 years, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget….

The Secret Service annual budget: $3.3B. Senate GOP just added $1B for "security upgrades" to Trump's White House ballroom — a project he promised private donors would fund. In a $70B reconciliation bill. No hearings. No debate. Just Passed by Republicans only. congress.gov/crs-product/...

Also, wanting to have multiple political parties is distinct from saying “I want the most regressive and malicious political party in the developed world to be strong”. The GOP is at their strongest right now and to say this is what you want should be considered a moral indictment

This is the kind of fight we’ve been hoping to see. The GOP/MAGA types are counting on us to remain civil while they take away our rights. FUCK. THAT. NOISE.

Given what’s currently happening in TN - it’s no wonder. The GOP loves death and suffering.

Symbolically indicating your displeasure is literally doing less than throwing an old napkin at them. The GOP are ignoring the precious rules of of the Dems' precious institutions, which the GOP have taken over. You can't beat that by following the rules harder and hoping a ref feels sorry for you!

Free article... Dems and GOP have long avoided addressing the country’s greatest fiscal strains, including the future finances of Medicare and Social Security. - NYT Fed tax income has to increase and spending curbed. The GOP are the biggest spenders and resistance to fiscal responsibility.

Two GOP-led Senate committees unveiled late Monday (May 4) their roughly $70 billion package to fund US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and border patrol. The Committee also tucked in the additional $1 billion in Secret Service funding that could go toward Trump’s ballroom project.

That piece of shit tore down a third of the White House with no plan like it was his personal space and not a national symbol and every fucking republican just rolled with it. A public loyalty test that has the GOP announcing that it’s Trump over country with this fucking ballroom as daily proof

The GOP is burning down the country to protect a pedophile rapist. The party of family values and small government is anything but. Fascists. Pedo-protectors. Power-hungry grifters.

The GOP is a terrorist organization and should be designated and treated as such. www.semafor.com/article/05/0...

The GOP is selling the country for scrap, much like Putin did with Russia. Make people rich BUT dependent on you. Even down to the state level, open corruption is best, no "gotcha" moments, it's all out there in your face. So Putin like. His hero. Under GOP, our biggest export is corruption.

No. The GOP doesn't actually care what the "human capital stock" want. They are, for the most part, supporting Trump, and the plan, hoping a solidified autocracy will make their jobs voter proof. They know they're already in too deep to win the voters.
