    I’d honestly be less mad about that.

    A 25,000 sqft ballroom is opulence, a 25,000 sqft ball pit is an international attraction! In time it might also lead to the discovery of new life forms…

      100% the next cause of a global pandemic is gonna evolve from that ballpit. The old Mcdonald’s Play Place’s were worrying enough

    It’s going to look tacky. You’ve seen what he’s done to the Oval Office. It’ll be $230M for that slap-dash look of awful design populated with gilded nonsense to try seem classy.

      CNN called it ‘Temu Versailles’ the other day, seems very apt.

      I call it “dollar store-baroque,” that act of taking a piece of furniture, painting it white (or sometimes black) and sticking a bunch of golden trims and floral decorations on it. It’s what people with little money and less taste get/do when they want their place to look classy. So of course Trump is doing it to the White House.

      What did he do to the Oval Office? I’m not sure I could picture it before but I certainly haven’t seen it recently.

    I expect the White House to have its own McDonald’s after this.

      I don’t think less of anyone for including an apostrophe in a possessive “its,” but I appreciate when someone doesn’t.

        Definitely. That was part of the very initial vision and the pitch for the entire program, a ball pit in every household, for the medical benefit of all Americans. Just fill in the request form for permit A38 and let the tax guy down by the harbour do the rest.

        🔴🔵🥎🧶🏀🎱

        Ianal nor USian, had to look up what HSA even is, don’t believe a word from my mouth. Except for when I tell you how fantastic ball pits are for your back.

    I can’t wait until it comes out that the contractors did a shit job, the gold is so spray paint, the contractors never got paid, Trump embezzled every possible cent, and the things is a decaying mess before the decade is out.

          No the original kind, from before the show.
