The Trump administration is arguing in court that halting a $400m White House ballroom and bunker overhaul would endanger national security, setting up a sharp clash with preservationists and a federal judge.

    Reminds me of that Brecht quote.

    Some party hack decreed that the people
    had lost the government’s confidence
    and could only regain it with redoubled effort.
    If that is the case, would it not be be simpler,
    If the government simply dissolved the people
    And elected another?

          If we’re doing conspiracy theories maybe that’s why he’s using up all the good missiles

            Is he using up all the concrete too? More than one way to make a bunker someone’s final resting place.

        Or civil war and/or federal dissolutionment, if those happened it’s almost garunteed federal control of DC would fall almost immediately. He would need a bunker to hide in for possibly weeks in such a case. Assuming he isn’t killed immediately.

        The difference between a bunker and an oubliette is what the people on the outside decide to do with the entrance/exit.

        Just make sure there’s some amontillado inside.

    As if we needed any further confirmation that the bunker beneath it was the actually important part of the project.

    (Can we please ensure that the bunker is stocked with at least one Luger pistol? For tradition’s sake.)

      Give them a Nambo instead. They don’t deserve the build quality of Luger.

        The Nambu has a notoriously weak cartridge. With a skull like his he’d be liable to botch it badly and probably wake up with a full diaper and a headache.

        Not sure if that’d be better or worse than the alternative really.

        Also contrary to popular belief they’re generally really well made unless it’s an extremely late one. 8x22 is just really really weak.
