Breaking News: President Trump cannot continue building the ballroom in the White House without explicit approval from Congress, a federal appeals court panel ruled. The Supreme Court will likely decide the project's fate.

That's what he's making of the bunker, which has already been updated. Now felon47 is turning it into a mini-city underground. Why? That's where he'll stay during the coup.

I want every contractor who illegally started working on this monstrosity without proper approval to be punished to the maximum under the law. WH property does not belong to Trump, if contractors are unaware of the special approvals needed, then they should lose their licenses.

Who is going to restore the original White House section that Trump tore down? Right now, it looks like a construction site and not the White House. Really disgusting and embarrassing.

Judge Rao's dissent asserts that the plaintiff in this case did not have "standing," which requires a plaintiff to demonstrate a genuine stake in the outcome of a case. That's an easy way for a federal court to dispose of a case, because without standing, a plaintiff can't proceed.

With a 6-3 Republican-appointed SCOTUS majority that is willing to find standing to support conservative claims, but is less willing to find standing when a plaintiff brings a challenge against this administration, it will be interesting to see how these justices rule.

If the Court finds "no standing," it's just another reason why the Democratic Party will need to appreciate that this Court will block its agenda the next time it gets a trifecta.

In case you have not noticed: Trump is a doer. Contrary to others who prefer talking, forming commissions, reviewing, environmental impact studies, and other worthy endeavors while money is spend but nothing really gets done (see, for example, the CA bullet train)

The dumbass should have to rebuild it himself brick by brick. If he wants he can hire undocumented immigrants to help, as they are hard workers. This rebuild must be on his own dime. Not one cent of taxpayers money!
