Would you have said the same thing if it had been Joe Biden who decided to tear down the entire east wing of the White House and build an ostentatious 300 million dollar ballroom using secret money from donors unknown to everybody except for the president?

 

Can he prove Joe wasn’t putting in some of his own money?  I reject the premise of the question.

Dance?  Nah, state dinners and such as that, not dancing.  No one actually knows how to dance anymore.  That dance business went away about the time the Stayin Alive nonsense started when we were kids.  None of us wanted to risk looking like John Travolta, oy vey mercy.  They called it a ballroom so that it would have the initials BBB, to match the Big Ugly Bill, which I definitely do oppose: it is too big by a trillion dollars.

 

Money can be followed.  So follow it.  Let’s see if we can catch some corruption that way.
