Was Bill Clinton ever blown in the East Wing? Historic preservation? Maybe a brass datum disc could be placed into the floor of the new ballroom to commemorate the precise location.

That's what it was when I was bangin'!

Sometimes the needs of the present will take priority over any form of plant life.

So... the legacy media found an iconoclast whom it does not like?

Sounds like TDS, tree derangement syndrome.

Sad saps.

A female Ginkgo tree on all their houses..

Meanwhile, thousands of children are being torn limb from limb inside their mothers’ wombs and nobody can muster a tear.

[DesertRhino]

As long as we finally get a ballroom for the glitterati, tech billionaires and celebrities, and foreign fat farting potentates to clink champagne glasses. It’s sickened me for so long that they have had to make do with so little.

Happy elites, happy nation!

She has the vapors.

[rktman]

I’m just flabbergasted. How will we get through this naughtZee tree genocide??????

...including two historic magnolia trees commemorating Presidents Warren G. Harding and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

What's to remember about Harding other than historic corruption? As to Roosevelt, one could always cite the historic importation of communism into American governance.

[Texas Eagle]

We can’t. It’s over. First, they came for the Magnolias......

[odawg]

Yes.

Obama’s library makes grain silos attractive in comparison.

[Carl Vehse]

"... two historic magnolia trees commemorating Presidents Warren G. Harding and Franklin D. Roosevelt."

Given the scandals of both men, the loss of the two trees is no big deal!!

[antidemoncrat]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[DPMD]

the trees eat CO2 and produce oxygen. He’s starving the planet of oxygen. That’s gotta be a crime against humanity, and at the least, a matter for the ICC to issue an arrest warrant. UN, do your job, dammit! Schiff, where the hell is Schiff? Set aside the mortgage applications and Impeach dammit!

Oh, they’re going to be replanted?

Never mind.

[DPMD]

If you ask them, trees love to contribute to home improvements.

[DPMD]

Poplar is lovely hardwood.

Furniture makers and cabinetmakers like poplar.

[DPMD]

Obama was fond of cutting down...US citizens of his own faith.

[alternatives?]

They didn’t cry over Robert E Lee’s statues.
