Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said the next Democratic presidential nominee must vow to demolish President Donald Trump's White House ballroom, proposing the pledge a litmus test for the party’s 2028 contenders.
"Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE," Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday. Swalwell's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for additional comment.

Hey, Eric! Do us a favor and pull it down biblically. Put your hands against the columns and push. You know. Like Samson did. Surely someone will mourn you - maybe.

I know a lot of us here call Swalwell and his ilk insane but they really are. Trump lives in their heads rent free. And since they appear to have no brains that's a lot of room for Trump to move around in. They are certifiable.

Smartass Swalwell needs a good solid flogging. No punishment other than the whip, or perhaps prison, would make any impression on this butthead. He who constantly speaks bovine scatology deserves the bullwhip. Make him holler loudly, like a feral pig that catches a broadhead arrow.

Their hatred is deep and totally off the wall. They were not supposed to lose last year and that eats away at their rodent brains.

Herr Swalwell is still b-tt sore for being outed as a Chinese communist collaborator (does anyone believe someone with his obvious brilliance didn't have a clue about Christine Fang "Fang"?) Either he is monumentally stupid, or up to his neck in it. I understand Ms. Fang brought in both donors and interns to his and other offices? Sounds like he should have a lot more than architecture to worry about. DOJ, please make it so.
How about right after Pres. Trump finishes the renovation, the (R) Congress should pass legislation making any further substantial modification to a National Monument or Nature Historic Treasure contingent on Congressional approval?

To my knowledge, not one former president is complaining. They all know the nightmare of State Dinners with guests in excess of 200. Ill bet all those foreign leaders enjoyed using porta-potties.
That ball room is about a century overdue and only Trump was willing to wield the wrecking ball.

As other posters noted. Something is seriously wrong with this guy. Is it alcohol or creeping dementia. I just had to give a eulogy for an old friend who had died of alzeimers or related dementia. Sad for my friend but certainly no sympathy for this vile excuse for a human being.

Before Ronald Reagan left office as the governor of California, a group of private donors raised enough money to build a governor’s mansion to replace the historic old home that had been found vulnerable in the event of an earthquake. The former mansion today is a tourist attraction. Reagan’s successor was young Jerry Brown, who had lived in the old mansion as a youth while his father was governor. As the new governor, Brown said he would prefer to sleep on the floor of a state apartment, and proceeded to do so. Showing disdain for the Reagan donors and their gift to the state, he ordered the new mansion sold. Thus began the spoiled brat wing of the Democratic Party, exemplified today by Eric Swalwell and his ilk.

I think it would be fitting if Mr. Swalwell sat for that particular election. Then he could be that Outsider in the Fuel Supply. Not that he'd have a chance of a snowball in hell of winning. He's mostly a gas giant.

The sound from his mouth seems to get louder than the other end. With the same result - cringe and disgust.

Dims will glom onto any distraction they can to avoid the government shutdown question. And here, the dims are saying its a waste, so let's destroy it (and waste it).

Destroying the big beautiful ballroom would be a highly symbolic act proving the Democrats what to do anything to tear down this country. It would be so much better than a tent on the lawn for events for more than 200 guests. Swalwell needs to be placed in a padded room to protect himself when he has these TDS hair on fire tantrums.
