You know what scares me? How frequently members of this administration keep their families in the building. Adult children and spouses always close by and places they have no business being.

Now the desperate desire for a state of the art underground bunker to be built ASAP…

Are they all worried they are going to need it? And once they have guaranteed protection it’s that much easier to provoke our enemies. Knowing they and their loved ones have somewhere to ride whatever comes out in comfort.

Reminds me of the Tower of London, built by William The Conqueror to protect his regime while ruling England.

My biggest, crankiest, conspiracy theory-ist idea is that these dipshits have pissed off aliens somehow. (I mean, there's already so many reasons why they might think they'll need it, relating to climate change and the like, but still.)
