CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Trump knocking down historic East Wing to build Ballroom - is this LEGAL?

It's not added to the East Wing. Instead the East Wing is largely being destroyed along with hundred years old trees to install a tacky copy of a Russian dictator's ballroom.Theodore Roosevelt Renovation (1902): This renovation expanded the space by adding the West Wing, establishing it as the primary office space for the president. It also removed the Victorian-era decor that had accumulated over the years to restore the building's more classical style.
Coolidge Administration Expansion (1927): President Calvin Coolidge oversaw the addition of a third floor to the residence.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Expansion (1930s–1940s): The West Wing was overhauled in 1934, and the Oval Office was relocated. In 1942, the East Wing was added to conceal an underground bunker. And an indoor swimming pool was installed.
Harry S. Truman Reconstruction (1948–1952): Considered the most significant renovation in the building's history, the interior was completely gutted. Only the exterior walls were preserved.
Richard Nixon Expansion (1973): A bowling alley was added.
Donald Trump Expansion (2025): A ballroom is being added to the East Wing
But that's what you get when you elect a convicted felon real estate conman diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder by over 230 mental health experts.
It's your country - you can laugh at what he's doing to your history and credibility. But you are right, perspective is important!
He always gets what he wants - grabbing women inappropriately and avoiding jail time, real estate fraud against the state of New York, calling election officials to rig the election without consequence.- and hanging out with Epstein without handing over the files as promised.
In light of all that, why be troubled that he's turning The White house into a kitsch Russian dollhouse? Meh. I could care less, and should probably just go back to watching him fly that fighter jet as he poos all over American citizens.
But just don't expect international leaders to be impressed just because Trump covers everything in an awful layer of gold paint to satisfy his ego. They're already laughing at him behind the scenes.
