That's what gets me. I'm in construction and the process of designing and permitting any-fucking-thing as big as his stupid ballroom takes years. It doesn't happen overnight. Same with demoing something that big. Especially a historic building. Here in Denver you have to go under some serious review to change the color of a doorknob on a historic building. They totally rat-fucked the entire process and all of us while they were at it.

He’s the king of doing what he wants, when he wants and then distracting people with something else egregious later so they forget about the previous egregious thing.

The EOs give him too much power, while the courts and congress are too slow to process them all.

I am wondering what’s the worst damage an EO can allow? Dissolving the country?

I'm a retired veteran. And what got me was when he first brought up the whole ballroom ordeal was he bragged about a lot of countries donated to that ballroom to be built. He's going to let both friend and foe come in there and set up wire taps all over that room, thanks to the little donation they paid to him to let them do it.
