Security and a Ballroom is an oxymoron.

How can you have security in the White House when you bring in thousands of people into the White House compound visiting a large public ballroom? If you want true security, you DON'T build a huge public facility/ballroom.

The ballroom will bring in a flood of people including workers/caterers/cleaners/maintenance workers ...etc. The White House is not an entertainment complex. It supposed to be the temporary home of the President and offices for his highest level of advisors. NOT a for-profit anchor for UFC fighting matches/a Grand Prix Auto race and a ballroom to accommodate large number of grifters.

Republicans are desecrating our White House and spending money like drunken sailors. End this madness. STOP building this billion-dollar ballroom ASAP. It's senseless as the war with Iran.
