The Whitehouse needs modernization. It is way to small and hasn’t had a major remodeling since the Eisenhower administration. Does it need a stupid ball room? No..

With all of that said, I have never been in a historic movie theater that did not suck ass. There is a reason movie theaters get torn down and replaced regularly.

The White House Ballroom brought to you by Carl's Jr.

A long time ago I bought an old bungalow fixer upper. There are photos of it Alone on a hill with no other building around. All that is now cityscape. So I was not allowed to change the house. This was a fixer upper in a run down neighborhood where I grew up. It was in bad shape and before I bought it it was a drug house.... But nah, historic building!!!!

Now this guy gets voted in and can just bulldoze the central iconic building that is in all money bills and coins. What a waste of air. We need to vote that whole administration out.

Tear down a Confederate statue and it's all tears and "thats my history" bullshit.

They weren't even tearing down the statues in most cases. They were moving them to a museum.

So, uh, how's that Mexico border wall (that they will somehow pay for) coming along?

Meanwhile my grocery bill and subscriptions went up noticeably again over the last month

His constituents are going to be pissed when they find out that's where Woodrow Wilson screened Birth of a Nation.

Edit: the east wing, not this specific theater
