  1. Target the ballroom *itself*. We should not be allowing Trump to waste our money on this gilded obscenity.

  2. > It would prohibit the president from soliciting donations, ban the display of donor names, bar donors from remaining anonymous and institute a two-year “cooling-off period” in which donors would be prohibited from lobbying the government.

    > The bill, called “Stop Ballroom Bribery Act,” would also prevent donations from businesses or individuals with business before the government — including those facing federal litigation or enforcement actions

    Why don’t they just come right out and call it the Stop Big Tech Ballroom Bribery Act lol.

  4. Nice to see them finally do something, but too bad it’s the kind of tepid, bureaucratic bullshit we expect from the Dems:

    > The bill aims to impose restrictions on donors seeking to influence the administration in power and would require transparency. It would prohibit the president from soliciting donations, ban the display of donor names, bar donors from remaining anonymous and institute a two-year “cooling-off period” in which donors would be prohibited from lobbying the government.

    Nothing to stop or slow down any of it, nothing to threaten the billionaires and corporations who are openly bribing their way into Trump’s good graces. Still allowing it all to happen but just awkwardly placing their thumb on the scale in a meddlesome sort of official oversight capacity to keep things from going “too far”. As though all of this is fine, but displaying the names of the donors inside the ballroom would be *a bit too much*. This is why the Democrats are so deeply, deeply frustrating. They wait until far, far too late and then show up with a light sprinkling of weak sauce “remedies” that do nothing to fix the actual problem. Nothing is ever going to get fixed in this country until we’ve either replaced or at least thoroughly gutted and overhauled the Democratic party.

  5. They should force trump to refund the government for the cost to rebuild the east wing

  6. They don’t have the house the senate or the presidency they ain’t going to be able to do shit until maybe February of 2027 until then they can keep doing whatever the fuck they want

  7. I just hope when the Dems finally take back the WH that the first thing they do is demolish the hell out of this ballroom, and sweep away all remnants of the Trump Administration.

  8. Man I’m not even American and that photo is one of the most depressing I’ve seen in years.
    Just look at what he’s done to one of your nations most iconic landmarks on a whim or to distract from his crimes.

  9. Bring Undisclosed Ballroom Benefactors Act.

    The BUBBA Bill.

  11. I’m not sure which Bill we’re talking about but he sounds like my kind of guy. 

  12. They should introduce a bill that reserves X amount of seats to any even for free. Trump and the GOP would hate the idea of us using their members only ballroom and not having to pay to play.
