Their site currently claims to be under construction. Or have they been demolished?!
Next their webshite will be a room full of balls (I assume that's what is getting erect over the rose garden?).
I wonder if Trump will just stiff them like he did when he was in real estate.
I just can't imagine him being ok with paying contractors for work.
Oh, Trump will pay them, with donations from his rich pals and most likely public money. Wherever the money comes from, it won't be from his pocket.
You don't really believe he'll put a cent of his own money into that boondoggle do you?
I doubt it. Every dollar he pays is one he can’t keep.
Wikipedia has an entire list of corporate donors for the new ballroom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Wing#2025_demolition
It's interesting how quickly & fervorously people will defend private capital from the smallest of infractions.
In this case it's just bad reviews, a form of peaceful public protest, the company will still earn a lot of profit.
Worst case is other customers might not want a gov contractor.
But yeah, "companies must do anything for max profit" is a systemic religion.
Yeah, it'll look just great when it's done though. Really fit in with the aesthetic.
Lol, their site's "down."
Google gave 20 million to the project.
I'd imagine those reviews won't stay up very long then....
Nope, I don't see any recent reviews.
Canada would have done it free of charge, just like Canada did in 1812.
Canada didn't do anything in 1812. It was the British army. Canada didn't even exist until 1867.

I love the sentiment, but Trump's sycophants will simply contact Google and all those negative reviews will disappear.
Edit: They're already doing it
The company’s rating dropped at one point to 1.8 stars, until Google revised it to 4.1.
I have this strong mental image of MAGAts hearing about this and hiring these guys to knock down the houses they live in to own the libs. I mean they already voted in a rapist conman who was guaranteed to sink the economy to do the same, I'm wondering if there is any limit to the masochism they will indulge in to hurt other people.
Ah yeah you got him, Americans, really showed him. Oooo bad reviews I’m sure he’ll be shivering in his sheets.
If they don't stop immediately the people will go for the ultimate weapon - Strongly Worded Tweets!
Run by a republican donor, I bet. And whoever builds the new structure will also be one.
They should never be allowed to work in the industry again.
When the regime falls, it is my hope that they and companies like them are put in front of a judge to explain why they agreed to help the fascists destroy the nation and its treasures.
Lol that was a good laugh! Thinking capitalists will punish their own. Peter Thiel raking in government contracts after admitting openly he is hostile to the state and wants to destroy America shows you how fucked we are.
Lib discourse is so wild.
Let's be clear: taking action like boycotts or whatever against companies collaborating with fascists is 100% appropriate and valid. But there's so many companies that are complicit in much worse ways than bulldozing the White House. Why should I even give a shit about the White House? How about instead we pressure corporations that are involved in manufacturing weapons and bombs for the regime? Or companies that provide it with data, surveillance, and technical support? You know, the companies that give the admistration material power over people?
By all means, knock yourself out doing this, I'm just confused why everyone is so invested in the White House. But if I had to guess, I'd say it's because it's a way of reaffirming loyalty to the state while criticizing it, making the criticism safely toothless. Me, I'd just say that all he did was save us the trouble of knocking it down ourselves.
Honestly this is all such a distraction. Whitehouse has been extended and rebuilt before. Should he have gotten permission? Yes. But is anyone surprised he didnt?
Release the epstein files.
