Subject: Re: The Ballroom
only to be rebuilt in the gaudiest manner possible,

I hope not. That's my only real problem with it. Or I could pull a Wilton and hope he puts gold all over it so we can tear that out in the next cycle and rename the Epstein Ballroom to the Obama MLK Ballroon and have the entrance way filled with portraits of prominent black Americans. I'd like to see a painting of Tubman. Coming up I'd have a food stamp machine right next to Trump's portrait. I hope by the end of this he's not so bad mobs burn his portraits. I don't wish him ill, I think it hurts me to hold on to resentments, so I don't nurture them - although I have a few I can't seem to banish entirely, they don't fester.

I'm counting on T having some dumb luck and a few good things happen during his Presidency and I'll acknowledge them. Here's hoping the current shutdown gambit turns in our favor.
