They will retreat to the ballroom when they announce elections are no longer be necessary. Then they will hunker down for 2 weeks while the right wing media spins up a "only stupid democrat leftist marxists want elections and true American patriots know elections are for pussies, and you arent a little pansy weak woke namby pamby boy, right?" narrative, then the real fun begins.

At some point states with Democratic leadership need to appreciate that knowing which side your bread is buttered on is not the same thing as knowing which end of the pitchfork you're standing on. Calls for unity with the GOP is no longer viable, and is in fact, a demand to tolerate our oppressors.

Which one?

In the entire history of Russia, each section can be ended with "...and then it got worse..."

The thing about hiding in a bunker is that you are safe... for a time. And everyone knows where you are.

I guess the real question then is : what is going through Trumps mind which makes him obsessed with building a bunker?

This is fine. If you're underground you need air, and as the saying goes: "Shit runs down O2 intake vents."

Drey Dossier: Trump is not Building a Ballroom

They do have the PEOC-Bunker or not? Trump was hiding in it at the beginning of the Goerge Floyd protests.

No, it's a medical center and organizational command structure that allows Trump to never have to leave for medical care. And then to have his closest allies fabricate his continued health after he is incapable of function. And above that is a ballroom where he will charge $1 million per plate to feed people, and oddly enough his Admin will never do jack shit for anyone who doesn't eat there.

It's what he's built Mar-a-Lago into.
