The Left Would Rather Leave White House Lawn Buried In Rubble Than Allow Trump A Tangible Victory

It didn’t take long for someone to go to court and attempt to seize control of the president’s White House renovation project.

The White House — the People’s House — can’t fit many people in its walls for special events, so it must pitch a tent about one football field away from the building for major functions. Event capacity is capped at 200 people in the White House’s East Room. It has been a problem for more than 150 years, according to the Trump administration. Now Trump is using around $300 million in private money to make the White House more welcoming, and the left is pretty mad about it. 

Why? From the leftists’ perspective, it’s as bad as terrorists murdering 2,977 people on Sept. 11, 2001.

The entire East Wing of the White House will be modernized and rebuilt to go along with a new ballroom, spanning 90,000 square feet, with capacity for 650 guests.

If the left could find a legal reason for suing President Donald Trump for breathing, they would already be in court, so of course, a couple surfaced Thursday night, Charles K. Voorhees and Judith A. Voorhees, filing a case at the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, seeking a temporary restraining order (TRO) and “other equitable relief.”

Yes, they would rather see a pile of the East Wing’s rubble littering the White House lawn than see the successful construction of the beautiful building depicted in the renderings the White House shared before it broke ground.

They want the administration to stop the construction process and get approvals from five oversight entities. According to the Voorheeses, the White House must first do the following:

Yes, sounds like a “derangement.”

Actually, all those matching tents on campuses of Columbia, Harvard and others for protesters surrounding Jewish students to keep them from getting to class or using the library, are a perfect example of just using tents for functions.

That indoor stuff is only good when taking over a building for the PLO, Hamas or BLM rioters.

Fortunately Trump is not dependant on them for his tangible victories.

Why do they believe they have “standing”? Does anyone know who they are?

Yeah, well....what goes around, comes around.

Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!

“ and the left is pretty mad about it. ”

Oh please…if Barry or Kammy had done it the press would gush at how their greatness deserved a $billion renovation. I don’t care what the left is mad about. They are mad about everything.

I think that the new facility will be torn down in the next democrat president’s term. The TDS will be so great by then that they won’t be able to refuse demands of their loons.

According to the Voorheeses, the White House must first do the following:

• Provide final plans to the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC);
• consult with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) to assure the plans are not violating the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA);
• meet with the D.C. State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) “to mitigate any adverse effects;”
• and consult with the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA),

“which reviews and advises on the design and aesthetics of the exterior modifications to the White House and its grounds,” according to the filing.
