Please take a moment if you're in the USA to comment on the official proposal for Trump's ballroom. This is a legally mandated review period from the National Capitol Planning Commission. Let them know that the US citizens do not want this travesty.

@joyce Done, thanks for the heads-up! Lovely practice, to have the review after the wing has been demolished, but oh well.

@joyce
They have my approval, as long as they call it the Epstein Ballroom.

I don't recall this being part of the process for the tearing down part ?

Joyce Lionarons Feb 15

@the5thColumnist

It should have been, but Trump just went ahead with tearing it down without doing this.

Thank you. I will tackle this first thing tomorrow morning.

@joyce great there is a review period for these projects, but isn't the time for that Before they start building it?

Joyce Lionarons Feb 15

Yes of course. But you don't think Trump follows the rules, do you?

potion_genderfluid

@joyce I still haven't heard of anything he's done by the book 😬

I submitted:
Any modifications to “The People’s House” must be done according to relevant laws and regulations by proper authorities. We also need to know what is happening underground. Is a Hitlerian bunker planned? Are reserved accommodations being sold to donating billionaires?

When the cancer is removed the people will rejoice that the "ballroom" burns

Thanks. I suggested that instead of a ballroom they build a museum to the crimes of the Trump administration, using printouts of the Epstein files as wallpaper.

@joyce Something has been accomplished! Not saying the ballroom is stopped, and of course the East Wing is still demolished... but the volume of comments received has forced the vote to be pushed back until April 2.

You can register to speak until April 1. (Yup. April Fools Day.) https://www.ncpc.gov/review/agenda/
