To all the media, punditry and talking heads, that are sayin Dipshit's Ballroom "is fuckheads lifelong stamp on America"

Let me point to history.

- The Berghof (Hitler's residence): Located in the Bavarian Alps, Hitler's vacation home was damaged by Allied bombs in 1945. The Bavarian government blew up the remaining shell of the building in 1952, concerned that it would attract neo-Nazi sympathizers.

- The New Reich Chancellery: The headquarters of the Nazi regime in Berlin was largely destroyed during the Battle of Berlin in 1945. Its ruins were later leveled by Soviet and East German forces. The area was eventually repurposed for housing.

- The Führerbunker: The underground bunker where Hitler spent his final days was partially demolished and filled in after the war. In the 1980s, the area was built over with apartments and a parking lot to avoid creating a memorial site.

- Nuremberg Rally Grounds: The immense structures where the Nazis held their annual rallies were systematically dismantled.

- The Zeppelin Grandstand: A giant concrete swastika atop the grandstand was blown up by U.S. troops after the war. Over the years, other parts of the structure decayed or were partially demolished to prevent total collapse, and the site is now being preserved in its ruined state.

- The Luitpoldarena and Hall: The park was converted into a parade ground and the original hall, where the anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws were proclaimed, was destroyed by Allied bombing and later replaced with a parking lot.

- Honor Temples in Munich: Temples built to house the coffins of Nazis killed during the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch were captured by the U.S. Army and demolished. Today, the ground levels are overgrown and serve as a symbolic rejection of what they represented.

- Carinhall: The country estate of top Nazi Hermann Göring was blown up on his own orders in 1945 to prevent it from falling into Allied hands.

- The Swastika: The Nazi swastika was the most recognizable symbol of the regime, displayed on flags, armbands, public buildings, and monuments. Following the war, displaying the Nazi swastika was outlawed in Germany and many other European countries. Countless swastikas were physically scraped off buildings, replaced, or painted over during the denazification process.

- Portraits of Hitler and other Nazi leaders: All public portraits of Hitler were ordered to be removed after the war.

As early as May 1933, the Nazis engaged in book burnings to eliminate texts that conflicted with their ideology. After the war, Allied authorities reversed this, purging Nazi propaganda materials from libraries, bookshops, and schools.

Trust me. His "legacy" is going to be represented by the complete destruction of ALL THE SHIT THAT REMINDS US THAT THIS EVIL FUCKSTICK WAS ONCE IN POWER.

That may be true, but that kind of talk is just stroking Donald. He loves that kind of shit. He expects to make some kind of mark on the country that lasts. Let’s make sure it doesn’t. I’m all for tearing down the ballroom and redoing the east wing and the Rosegarden when we get back in. I think we should campaign on that. He never mentioned in the campaign that he was going to start tearing down the White House. He has no mandate for that.

and the next Reconstruction isn't abandoned after a few years.

This new "reconstruction" needs to remove this shitstain from history, destroy all references/memorials to it, wrap it in lye, and bury it in concrete under 100 feet of salted dirt.

the hypothesized bunker under the ballroom is the same footprint as the ballroom doesn't that make it more difficult to delete the ballroom?

will serve as the perfect venue for the War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity trials our country MUST hold after this misadministration is sent to the ash-heep of history.

After that, I don't care if they blow it to smithereens.
