“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

The East Wing is gone.
Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.
All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

news from US gets worse and worse!
Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

I think I'd go for Lorin Maazel and Pittsburgh Symphony
Which recording of Respighi’s COMPLETE Roman Trilogy would be your choice? I mean I would choose Reiner if he were not missing one of the works. But for all three?

I see. You ARE living under a soft dictatorship then, appalling!
Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

You can change, add to, improve and upgrade important historical buildings without demolishing them. Was there no consultation? Surely the majority would have objected to this obliteration approach. Are you living under a soft dictatorship in the USA? Tana G
Watching part of the White House come
down feels like watching a piece of our
story disappear. The East Wing has always
stood for service, grace, and possibility
things no one can demolish. You can tear
down walls, but you can’t erase history.
