14. The scope of the ballroom would overwhelm the White House itself... Gee, ya think?

I am beside myself over this. In a near year of horrors, of which many were predictable (given the Project 2025 Blueprint-- which the MSM actively ignored), the metaphor for all the destruction that his taking a wrecking ball to the East Wing presents--is just beyond it. I need at least some "ebb and flow" to my intense anger to survive. I don't feel like we are getting even a momentary break each day... For the first time ever, I am getting heart rate increase alerts on my Apple Watch periodically through the day when I'm not doing anything physical. This is obviously getting to me.
