Do you have confirmation of that $400 million number? It seems to be grossly exaggerated... IP: Logged |

I got it from Jesse Watters on The Five. I'm not sure where he got that figure from, but he is usually spot on when he gives any stat. I can't find the actual figure, but I'm still looking. He did say that it also included replacing some lines. IP: Logged |

Agreed! That is a very good practice, especially in today’s political climate AND with AI deceptions being so commonplace. I wonder if Watters will respond to me? IP: Logged |

Not only is watters a liar (as usual), someone used a picture that was taken during the Truman administration. Was it him?Obama added basketball things to the tennis court, and Michelle added a kitchen garden. Something RFK Jr. should have been beside himself with joy over, if he was really concerned about health. I have other things on my mind, and you can't demand that people respond. Adding: quote:
The renovations under Obama did take place. Both CNN and Bloomberg News reported in 2010 about a four-year, $376 million White House renovation project beginning during his presidency.However, many social media posts omitted key context: Congress approved the funding in 2008 following a report by the administration of then-President George W. Bush, and the renovations aimed to upgrade the building's aging infrastructure, according to the news reports. It's misleading to suggest Obama personally "spent" $370 million on White House renovations, as some posts claimed, as Congress approved the project's funding during Bush's time in office. What Bloomberg News and CNN reported A Bloomberg News report published in The Philadelphia Inquirer on May 22, 2010, noted that a four-year, $376 million White House renovation project had begun, stating that its purpose was to "improve the infrastructure in the East and West Wings." http://www.snopes.com/news/2025/10/23/obama-white-house-renovation/
So, this was approved by Congress, and George W. Bush, before Obama was even elected. It was necessary, according to Republicans. IP: Logged |

And you wrote this as though it were fact, in the subject line????? Of course you did. You aren't concerned with facts. Just put it out there, and hope it spreads like the viruses that MAGA refuses to try to contain. Why are you always trying to rile people up? That isn't good for their health, either. IP: Logged |

Watters is not a liar, unlike you. I have always found him to be meticulously factual. Thanks for finding that figure. Obama made the final decision himself. Whereas Trump would have gotten a better deal and not accepted the estimate, Obama just went with it, so he really did spend close to $400 million. But I do acknowledge the difference. So, I admit I was wrong. Unlike you, who have never admitted you were wrong about anything ever on these forums in your entire time here. You are shown where you have intentionally lied, but no humility whatsoever. You have been shown where many things you have claimed to be true have been debunked by even far left sources, and you still cling to those lies. Yet YOU just preached to ME? 😂 I have never known such a hypocrite and such a deceptive person lacking in self-awareness in all my life. Learn from my example. Start small. Admit just one thing that you were wrong about King Trump. One thing that you claimed he did or said that was patently false. You can’t bear to do it. Prove me wrong. Take your own advice that you just meted out to me (one of the few times I was wrong here), and just give us one. You can’t even understand that I’m not speaking about you when I say crickets, although I have repeatedly informed you of the same. Your sense of self-importance and hubris is beyond the pale. Hey, you got me. Thank you for teaching me that lesson. I do sincerely appreciate it. I am always grateful for learning. I pray that you, too, someday develop a backbone, character, and honesty. I won’t hold my breath. And no, I am not upset. Not in the least. I just found it beyond belief that you said that to me in one instance of being partially wrong, when you have been unequivocally proven wrong dozens, if not hundreds, of times. Literally. Unarguably. Factually. And that makes you the biggest liar here. Or the most gullible, and I dare say, ignorant. Which is why I call you a hack. 🤷♀️ Lastly, I must address the complete lack of self-reflection in your comment about timing people up not being good for their health. Really? I mean, really? You do that constantly. It just doesn’t work with MAGA like Belage and I It only serves to rile up the crazies in your party when Dems do it and gets them to do your party’s dirty work. Other than Fetterman and a few others, most modern day Dems have no character. If you get riled up by facts (or by anything political, really), then that is a character flaw of yours because you have been dishing out the lies here for years. As I said earlier, you know you’re lying, or the other alternative I proposed. Your cognitive dissonance knows no bounds. It is off the chart. Literally. So, don’t expect a pity party here in your honor. You definitely don’t deserve one. All the Dems deserve the justice they are receiving every day. Being in denial just makes it worse on you. Accept yourselves, reflect, and let all that anger and hatred go. Many are being healed of TDS. It’s just a paradigm shift in consciousness. Look up sone of those lies you have told for yourself, and see you were wrong. You have already been shown countless times. Honestly, I have zero confidence you will. But I also don’t feel guilty about it either. You are each responsible for your own reactions. Karma is a bish. There’s three more years. Learn to laugh it off. We did under Biden. Good luck. 🍀 Was this harsh? Perhaps. Was it true? Absolutely. Apparently, people in your close circle don’t correct you when you are wrong. You insulate yourself from criticism in your Pollyanna world. Consider my words the tough love that you need.  If you decide to depart Lindaland over it, then so be it. You call Trump a bully, but that is projection because the worst kind of bully is the passive aggressive bully. At least Trump owns his trolling. And only the humorless are hurt. Whereas Dems go for the jugular (sometimes literally). Trump has been going easy on y’all. I pray that he picks up the pace. I dare say, justice demands it. IP: Logged |

I used to think Randall is sane ... He is not. A few thousand dollars raised from private investors for Obama's basket ball court got mixed up in the large $400 million renovation on Whitehouse. Shame again on Right wingers here for spreading misinformation again.
chatgpt is available to validate your posts before posting it, but no-- these morons want a full fledged reaction from the left. They will not get one . The 7 million peaceful protest rally is one example of how the left can come back and take America to a better future.

Wow, but it did get a reaction. One mistaken error from me caused you to blow a gasket. Whereas I have proven that some here have intentionally made dozens of outright misstatements of facts that were thoroughly debunked, and we MAGA didn't get insane about it. It wasn't 7 million, and you know it. The organizers came up with that figure. They wouldn't have a reason to lie, would they?  IP: Logged |

So that was what Jesse Watters confused with a basketball court. Okay... Nobody questioned this back in 2010, but why do I have a sneaky suspiscion that if the Trump admin was going to spend $376 million of taxpayers money to improve some infrastructure in the WHite House, the dems would have been screaming to high heaven that Trump is wasting taxpayers' money?

Republicans aren’t the ones who are mentally ill, pal. So, you must think cutting off the genitalia of little boys is sane? Or that men in women’s sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms is normal? Or talking to kindergarteners about sec is either (sane or normal)? Sounds like you’re the one who has mental health issues if you ascribe to any of those far left positions. If so, you might need that break—to pause and reconsider your positions while you pivot back to reality. 🤷♀️
