So Trump is stealing stuff from the White House now?

A family of carnies.

Utter trash.

They're gonna strip the WH of copper wire before they go.

Was the theft unexpected?

Should seen the list of missing items from Buckingham Palace after the State dinner they attended.

They really should reboot Green Acres at this point and base it on the Trumps.

If they take anything they didn't come in with 4 years ago they'll play hell. I hope someone has told all of them that any gifts they received while there belong to the people of the United States.

Luckily nothing American is old enough to be considered a treasure. It’s all new trash.

Did they already pack all the sheets and towels?

I'll watch for the Lincoln bust on eBay.

Doing what criminals do best

It’s all on loan from a museum and is reset for every administration. Clickbait at its finest.

They're gonna take the damn lightbulbs!

I noticed one of the comments at the OP's link said that Ivanka no longer plans to attend the inauguration. I'm sure she will be missed. NOT!

Link, R11?

As is pointed out on that thread, r11, curators would have items packed professionally and with protective materials.

Is this "on loan from a museum" too?

He is probably already contacted the high end NY auction houses, or maybe because it's Trump, he'll start selling on E-Bay.

Oops

Asset strippers!

They need Ivanka at the inauguration as a human shield and hostage if the shit hits the fan. And it will

Nothing is on loan from any museums. There’s a White House storage house with old furniture (like four-poster beds) and an art collection with about 500 sculptures, drawings, and paintings (including works by Norman Rockwell and Georgia O’Keeffe) obtained as gifts or by previous first families and the White House curator.

[quote] Every four years, Congress appropriates money to maintain and redecorate the 132-room executive mansion. (George W. and Laura Bush were allocated $100,000 for the president’s second term.) For the living quarters, which are located on the top two floors, the first family has significant leeway. It usually falls to the president’s wife to supervise paint jobs and to acquire new furniture, wall hangings, and bedding. If, however, the president’s family wants to alter the appearance of historic guest suites (like the Lincoln Bedroom) or any of the public spaces on the ground and first floors (like the Green Room and the state dining room), they must consult the Committee for the Preservation of the White House. (The curator of the White House, the director of the National Gallery of Art, and other luminaries belong to this committee, which Lyndon Johnson established by executive order in 1964.) State rooms are generally refurbished once a decade, often with funds from the White House Historical Association.

If this is happening, it's happening right in front of the Secret Service.

The Secret Service who have been treated like dirt for four years by the trashy Trumps, and exposed to COVID by Trump himself. If Trump is ever put to trial and this is added to the list of charges,, there will be plenty of totally reliable witnesses.

Keep your grubby parvenu hands off my silver service.

STOP THE STEAL of statues and artworks.

If they want to keep any personal gifts they've received the will have to pay for them. Nancy Reagan took all the designer gowns she'd been given for 8 years and was shocked when she received a huge bill for them after they'd gone back to California.

[quote]Did they already pack all the sheets and towels?

I hope so. I certainly don't want them.

We ALL know that Dump is going to smear shit from one end of the White House to the other just like his MAGA cult members did to the Capitol when they invaded it.

[quote]I noticed one of the comments at the OP's link said that Ivanka no longer plans to attend the inauguration

Read: She was most cordially not invited.

Trump has such awful taste, he wouldn't know what is valuable. He stole stuff from the American embassy in Paris, and everything he ordered taken back to the WH turned out to be 100% fake. He wouldn't know art if it bit him on the ass.

I'm guessing they'll all be completely gone by this weekend. They will be in Mar-a-Lardo during the inauguration.

I think they brought in one truck just to haul off Trump's supply of XXXXX large Depends.

[quote]I'm guessing they'll all be completely gone by this weekend. They will be in Mar-a-Lardo during the inauguration.

This would be fucking fantastic news. Can't wait to see the back of them.

Ugh, I saw this; I suppose it should come as no surprise - but you know when Biden shows up the place will be dirty, looted, priceless works of art damaged (if not entirely gone) and just generally trashed. It's sickening, but not surprising. I know there will be a reckoning for that bunch & it cannot come soon enough

R27, another bill that Dump would not pay anyway.

Oh I HOPE Ivanka comes to the inauguration just to hear everyone boo and jeer at her ass.

Is Trump taking his golden throne with him?

[quote]R31 He stole stuff from the American embassy in Paris, and everything he ordered taken back to the WH turned out to be 100% fake.

What and when was this? Was he in some guest suite there?

[quote] but you know when Biden shows up the place will be dirty, looted, priceless works of art damaged (if not entirely gone) and just generally trashed.

You are kidding. When the Bidens enter the White House after the inauguration the building will be pristine, spotless, and everything in proper order.

Document everything - every fucking thing.

Then go to their houses and take it all back as we arrest them for Grand Larceny.

Museums don't pick up busts of Abraham Lincoln and go wandering out the fucking door carrying them. They have STANDARDS and they respect art, unlike fucking trump treason weasels.

Melanoma must've sucked off some of the butlers to get some of the stuff. She's good at it, yes?

[quote]Oh I HOPE Ivanka comes to the inauguration just to hear everyone boo and jeer at her ass.

I was going to say she won't because she knows where she's not wanted R36.

And then I remembered the #unwantedivanka hashtag...

Another one

Welp, they're definitely moving stuff out

Good. They can fuck off and if they steal official White House items then it's almost worth the price to get them out of the White House.

Charges can be laid later on.

All those people taking things out are the staff people. I'm sure many of them brought personal things in for their office space. I doubt the government budgets anything for office decor other than furniture for that level of staff.

It is tradition for the out going President to leave a note to the incoming President, I am trying to imagine what type of nasty message Trump will leave for Biden.

R47 knowing Trump he’ll scribble the words “I WON” with a backwards N in crayon.

He'll more likely take a dump on the Resolute Desk.

That bust of Lincoln is probably some cheap knockoff made out of crockery Trump bought from some discount store.

I hope Melancholia has had her engagement ring and any jewelry that cheap fat fool has given her over the years appraised because I'm betting most of it is cubic zirconia.

R48, I was thinking the same exact thing. "I won" followed by 10 exclamation points.

In sharpie, r48.

"you know when Biden shows up the place will be dirty, looted, priceless works of art damaged (if not entirely gone) and just generally trashed."

I hope the pictures are made public! Because you know there's going to be damage, Trump will probably personally shit in the bed of the Lincoln bedroom!

Of course Biden can't make it part of the official presidential news feed, the new staffers need to leak the photos on social media.

Trump is capable of almost anything, but anything he does will be cleaned up by the White House staff who are very good at moving out one President's family and moving in another. If Trump does leave this weekend and doesn't come back it will give the White House staff extra time to get everything in good order and we will probably never even hear the mess Trump and family leaves.

I won't be packing up my Christmas decorations. Fuck Christmas.

Melania @R55, it's time for your Exit Interview

R49 He'll carve 'BIDEN SUCKS' into the Resolute desk, then darken in the letters with a Bic pen.

i knew that would happen, next he be takin paintings that been there for 75 yrs.....

fukkin thief

(quote] More stuff (appears to be Abe Lincoln bust) leaving the West Wing this afternoon.

Abe Lincoln's bust will be used as the additional passenger for the HOV lane.

It's funny they have nowhere to go but a hotel suite in Florida.

I wish he'd steal the needless and tacky "So" at the start of your sentence.

[quote] What and when was this? Was he in some guest suite there?

See article below. When this happened I actually posted on DL about him stealing this stuff when he left office so it’s very funny that people are walking out with stuff. It will be funny as hell if he tries to abscond with that pilfered art.

R62, holy crap, that actually happened?

Imagine how different it will be for the WH staff to take care of the Bidens.

Plus, now there will be dogs.

The White House will be ours again.

We discussed his taking stuff from the ambassador's residence.

How many of his boogers are on the underside of the Resolute Desk?

I can’t see his fat ass lifting anything

[quote]I can’t see his fat ass lifting anything

Especially if there's a ramp involved.

It probably smells like an old folks home and Melania's incurable super gonorrhea

Good for HIM. He deserves it!!

Not only that, but Ivanka and Melania are planning on leaving upper deckers in all the whit house toilets

Slumlord Eviction!

Remember back in 2008 when banks gave people discounts on their repossession loans - if they shoveled everything out of their ex-homes into a dumpster? These are the folks who thought that was a logical and prudent solution.

Where's the 250k of items he took from the US Embassy in Paris?

STOP 🛑 THE STEAL !!!

In the Netflix version, somebody from Jr’s entourage would leave a blow torch aglow - destroying the white house and allowing for new ideas.

I jess hope he remembers to take the biplane made outta Budweiser cans my son Billy Joe donated when he become precedent.

It hangs from the ceiling. It’s fancy.

He's gonna get raided by the Feds to get that stuff back. Fucking idiot.

The bust they're carrying out isn't the Borglum bust, that one is white marble.

I can't find a photo of a White House bust of Lincoln in bronze that looks like the one they're stealing, so I'm not sure where it's coming from.

Really hope this was museum personnel taking back items that were loaned to the White House.

Impeach him! This fucker stole my presidency. I won't let him steal my move too!

If only Trump could steal Dignity & Honor

That bust may have been taken from the US Ambassador's residence in Paris. Part of his $750k steal during his visit to Paris.

Scum.

Really, r81?

Geez. I’m surprised we didn’t hear about that. Especially multiple times. In this very thread.

Wow.

I wouldn't get to worked up about this. I was on a committee at the White House during the Obama administration and the old queens and bitches who work in the White House do an admirable job of guarding the place. They treat everything there as if it were THEIR property and they have no allegiance to a particular President. Those people play the long game.

I think it's been established that Trump has horrid taste and would only gravitate to the cheap stuff that needs to go anyway.

[quote] I wouldn't get to worked up about this.

Oh, dear!

R83 is wise. I get a Talented Mr. Ripley vibe from everyone in that administration.

Any item involving mahogany, an eagle, beer pong, or shiny brass is up for grabs.

Some of the artwork being removed legit belongs to them.

Of course the T****s are stealing and looting.

It's what they do.

[quote] Keep your grubby parvenu hands off my silver service.

That's vermeil, darling.

R88 i.e. is REAL ghost of JBK

[quote] Is Trump taking his golden throne with him?

That's some cheap-ass looking toilet paper (not tissue) in R37 image.

The stuff he is stealing are condoms marked "For Presidential Use Only," his address book listing various sluts for hire, and a magnifying glass to attach to his penis.

[quote] The stuff he is stealing are condoms marked "For Presidential Use Only,"

So very small bags of dust, basically.

[quote]If they take anything they didn't come in with 4 years ago they'll play hell. I hope someone has told all of them that any gifts they received while there belong to the people of the United States.

He needs to be impeached a third time!
