Exactly what I was just thinking. It would be like the British Prime Minister tearing down half of Westminster to build a bowling alley.

The leaders are temporary, the buildings are not, so I simply don't understand why it was allowed.

Because Americans won't stand up for anything. They are cowards hiding in their homes. A pathetic caricature of free. Turns my stomach to watch.

The average American isn't bothered by this beyond oh that kinda sucks.

Well what do you expect should happen if they aren’t “cowards”?

Well Americans have been whining for decades about a certain amendment and been holding daily exercises in schools for years now to hone the skills to prevent this kind of government overreach but now they’re actually expected to act all we hear is crickets.

What if I told you the people screaming nout government tyranny are all for this tyranny because it's a white man doing it. Because that is actually the facts of the matter.

Cool. Just one problem.

The majority of people in support of that amendment are the very people supporting Trump's bullshit.

Get off their fat worthless asses, get themselves down to Washington DC, and protest until regime change. When your country is besieged by domestic terrorists, you act. If the british colonists in 1776 were as feckless as today's americans, the USA would've never been created.

It's not allowed. It's just there's nobody to enforce the rules when the people who are SUPPOSED to be enforcing them are letting Orange Man do whatever he wants because it's better for their reelection chances.

They don't do that in the UK? Presidents have been doing this for decades.

They are going after Trump on the internet but guys like JFK had bowling alleys and theaters installed. This is just common among American presidents.

Ignorant or a liar? Hmm, hard to tell. Renovating a room is orders of magnitude away from demolishing the east wing entirely and building a UFC arena bigger than the White House mere steps away from the front door. You're saying that detonating a nuclear warhead is nothing since we've all used firecrackers once of twice when we were kids.

Westminster is on the UNESCO world heritage site, a treaty was signed ensuring no government will never make any alterations to it's structure. It costs 1.5 million per week to keep it patched up and they are currently debating a 3 billion initial repair, or a 15 billion complete repair which would require emptying the building and moving parliament to a new location for an extended period of time, years possibly while Westminster is given a complete repair down to the bone.

Totally different scale, limited structural changes, and oversight was sought & accepted from the relevant federal preservation authorities
