Or United Airlines hitting a truck that hits you.

Thats like get a call to donate to White House Ballroom wealth.

Taxpayers are going to end up paying for that anyway.

u/waffles350 May 06 '26

Yup, and it's up to a billion dollars now...

Honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if it was an additional 1 billion on top of the 430 million they previously stole from us to do this bs.

They already requested a billion on top of the donated money. The question now is how far over budget is it gonna go?

It’s such a sad waste of money.

One billion dollars could build 2,000 half-million dollar houses.. Or 4,000 quarter-million dollar houses…

A billion dollars could fund tuition for approximately 30,000-35,000 community college students to get 2 year degrees

One billion dollars could pay for an entire year of daycare for 67,000-100,000 US children

It’s cute you think it’s only a billion dollars…

Oh no I honestly bet they’ll bump it to 100 billion with an extra trillion to Israel just for funnsies 😛

Yes, but conservatives don't like hiring out to private companies for government events and prefer them to be held in government funded buildings /s

And they LOVE contracting their friends to do work. Cronyism to the max!

A good chunk of that is the bunker they're building under it. A ballroom doesn't cost that much even with contractors gouging.

With my luck I'd be hit by Spirit Airlines.

Still a possibility there has been a bunch of ex spirit aircraft flying to storage in Arizona and California.

u/Horskr preparing to transparently throw themselves in front of the nose gear as the aircraft taxis for the final time...

u/Rainebowraine123 May 06 '26

That would be pretty impressive considering they no longer exist

u/chrisp5000 May 07 '26

They just went out of the airline business, you're safe from them now.

Rather spirit than Frontier

u/SalmonManner May 09 '26

Ask Frontier ...😬
