That’s about right for deep stater Republicans - reward one of the most corrupt organizations in out government with a new building. Instead, they should be taking money away from Wray’s mafia.
Numerous corporations have blown huge amounts of money on giant corporate headquarters, even to the extent that such expenditures damaged the company. Why do organizations blow such damaging sums on something they generally don’t need, and which are often counterproductive? It’s about ego. It’s about showing the other companies how successful they are. Something similar happens among heads of government agencies. “Mine is bigger than yours.” The original need for corporate and governmental headquarters is that it made communications easy. But there is literally no need today to bring everyone together in one spot for the sake of communications and coordination. Doing so is actually a danger. An entire organization can be wiped out by a single incident, be it a natural disaster or a manmade disaster. Why does government still operate like it’s 1940? ‘Cause mine is bigger than yours?
The massive J. Edgar Hoover Building in DC isn’t even 50 years old.
Moving some government agencies outside DC — far outside DC — might make some sense, but moving it up the road to Maryland just means the bureau will have less oversight from Congress and the public.
At the time it was completed, the J. Edgar Hoover building was reported to have 2.4 million square feet (220,000 m2) to 2.535 million square feet (235,500 m2) of interior space, of which 1 million square feet (93,000 m2) were usable office space. According to more current information provided by the FBI, the building contained 2,800,876 square feet (260,209.9 m2) of interior space in 2010. Its internal amenities included:
An amphitheater
A 162-seat auditorium
An automobile repair shop
A two-story basketball court
An eighth-floor cafeteria, with access to a roof garden
Classrooms
Cryptographic vault
Developing laboratories for both still photography and motion pictures
Exercise rooms
A film library
A firing range
80,000 square feet (7,400 m2) of laboratory space
A medical clinic
Morgue
A printing plant
A test pattern and ballistics range
A 700-seat theater
The structure has three floors below ground.

Can’t I just get the contract on the really neato water feature in the front lobby?
McCormick is the biggest GA RINO out there. I think we were better off with the Democrat Boudreaux we had for 2 years. He has to be primaried.
I like the idea of the $300 headquarters. It could be a UPS Store box in Beltsville.
Re: the manhunt for the non-criminal, it’s much easier to murder someone in the cover of deep woods than in the open.
I vote to give them a desk and a bunk over at the nearest sewage plant. That’s IF the plant workers don’t mind the rotten, stinking smell they bring with.

That’s the anti-Trump GOPe bootlicker that replaced Steve King. He’s a good Bible-believing family man that does exactly as he’s told.
Republican Party vs Communist Party...
Two sides of the same coin...
Think Bolsheviks vs Trotskyites...
By any measure, now they are all part of the larger American Communist Party...

That’s one cheap HQ!
$300. Is that the cost of a new Porta-Potty? Seems about right.
Notice how many hyphenated last names there are. NEVER trust a woman with a hyphenated last name.
