Is the Whitehouse fit for purpose in the modern age? Probably not. Is it a symbol of the country? Yes. Messing with that symbol on what seems to be a whim funded by corporate interests rather than doing something public and methodical is disgusting. Especially with a government shutdown.

We aren't even getting bread and circuses, just Nero at this point.



It's a much more fitting symbol now than it was before.


Correct ... they should leave the East Wing in rubble, just as a representative symbol for future generations.


> Is it a symbol of the country? Yes

The actual White House, yes. Some out building of the compound, no. If you showed me a picture of it a month ago I would have no idea what it was. This whole thing is bribery, no doubt, but compared to all of the other Trump corruption this one is the least bad.


Sorry you're getting downvoted, but you're commenting on an article about conflicts of interest, among the crowd with the conflicts of interest.

Silicon Valley, Venture Capital: they're the sociopaths whose current project is "disrupting" democratic governance.


Thank you for your concern, but there is thankfully more to life than fake internet points.
