The East Wing is entirely gone now. Hope you're happy MAGA.

The entirety of the White House East Wing appears to have been knocked down, photos published Thursday show, as President Donald Trump moves swiftly ahead with plans to construct a massive new ballroom.

The images from the Associated Press show the demolition work reaching almost to the main executive mansion, with piles of debris and twisted rebar left behind.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday to “trust the process” as the ballroom project continues to evolve and insisted that the administration has been transparent about its plans.

“When this plan was presented, and when these renderings, as soon as they were complete, the president directed me to come out here and to share them with all of you. I did an entire opening remarks about what this ballroom project was going to look like,” Leavitt said from the White House briefing room. “With any construction project, there are changes over time, as you assess what the project is going to look like, and we’ll continue to keep you apprised of all of those changes, but just trust the process.”

And here's my BlueSky post showing the extent of what's been demolished. It's a goddamn tragedy. Debacle? Disaster? Catastrophe? Calamity? Cataclysm? None of those fine words seem to cover the white hot rage I feel. It makes my prior feelings for Trump seem like love in comparison.

"Trust the process"? You've got to be fcuking kidding me.

Whenever I made the mistake of asking a question, or offering an idea, at work, the honchos would say "I know things you don't know", or "I understand things you don't understand", without ever explaining what those "things" are. "Trust the process" is the same thing: a blow off to uppity people who have no business asking questions, but need to sit down, shut up, and do as they are told.

from the net sifter:

"Uppity": Acting above one's station: It can also describe someone who is of a lower social standing but does not give in to control easily.

A 90,000 square foot ballroom takes up a lot of space. Gotta have your priorities.
