It's about the bunker

[AverageOldGuy]

We now learn that beneath the now-destroyed White House East Wing is located the White House emergency bunker. The bunker is designed to withstand bombing, etc.; it's outfitted with highly specialized encrypted commo equipment and the like which enables the President to communicate with the Dept of Defense as well as with the Unified and Specified Commands worldwide (the war fighting commands). The bunker also has some level of survival food, etc.

The presence of the bunker has been publicized only over the past few days, leading to speculation that Trump intends to modify, possibly expand and harden the bunker complex just in case the peasants storm the place when he attempts to install himself as President For Life.

Somewhere deep in the recesses of my memory -- which at age going on 81 is not as sharp as it once was -- I seem to recall names such as Eva Braun, bunker, cyanide pill, a guy named Adolf ??? . . . . . . . . .

2. It's certainly going to put Saddam's spider hole to shame.

Where the ventilation system consisted of stacked coffee cans.

But, you know, Tantrum Tito has got to have the biggliest.

Anyone else thinking of “The Mask of the Red Death” this Halloween season?

3. "Eva Braun, bunker, cyanide pill, a guy named Adolf?"

I hope that he'll die as miserably and pathetically as his hero.

13. With both a bang and a whimper.

4. You can bet Melania won't be in the bunker with him.

She's no Eva Braun

5. That's an understatement, she will be bringing

a date to TSFs funeral.

[Martin Eden]

8. Then she'll bury him at Mar-a-Lago and grift off his grave

By charging admission to visitors with full bladders.

6. The emergency shelter probably is a big factor

Sorry, but I think the Hitler bunker callback, while entertaining, is a bit much.

White House occupants really do need some kind of safety egress or safe place to shelter. It's just common sense. It would not surprise me if part of the reason for the teardown of the East Wing was partly the result of Secret Service security analysis.

12. Given his past behavior , I believe the grift

is the biggest factor. There will be no accounting for the funds per usual.

22. During the Cheney-Bush years, there was a detailed report of Bush and Laura using that egress.

Apparently, the constant pressure had gotten to be too much for both of them, and one fine evening, they decided to sneak out for dinner in a nearby steak house well known for its low, discreet lighting.

Before they were recognized, they made their way to a discreet booth with dim lighting. A waiter, used to minimal interaction with his patrons, brought two menus and disappeared again. After nearly five minutes, he came back, and not even peering into the booth to see who his guests were, generically asked, “Have you found anything to your liking?”

Laura Bush spoke up and said,” yes, I’ll have the six ounce filet mignon, medium rare, with garlic mashed potatoes and a small side salad.”

“Excellent choice,” remarked the waiter. “And for your vegetable?”

Laura gave him back the menus, and said, “oh, he’ll have the same thing.”

23. Boom-tish

[question everything]

7. I think that this was where Cheney was hustled on 9/11

He described the events when two secret service literally lifted him dragging him into a bunker.

I don’t know whether this is the same

(His boss was at a classroom in Florida..)

9. It's exactly where president cheney was taken

The Presidential Emergency Operations Center or PEOC.
It's also where a famous child rapist briefly skittered off to as fast as his cankles could carry him during the George Floyd protests.

[Baitball Blogger]

11. And then he got in the way of the communication system.

I don't remember if he changed the channel or just disconnected the main emergency line.

[struggle4progress]

10. It's about the grift

[DinahMoeHum]

14. Let Trump and his MAGAs go in the bunker. . .

Just make sure they don't. come. back. up. Alive.

[littlemissmartypants]

15. How long before the President's Prepper Pantry book hits the bookstores?

[ultralite001]

19. 🤣🤣🤣

Good one...

[Marie Marie]

16. Is it big enough for a Golf course? If not, he won't last long down there.

Although given his cankles and overall bad health, he may not be able to play that much longer.

[Hudly]

17. It's about the bunker

It all makes total sense when you realize, they are all reincarnated nazis from the 40’s.

[EX500rider]

18. Considering the White house bunker was built in WWII, it is way over due for a refit I bet nt

[NameAlreadyTaken]

20. It will be Putin's office, and

his-and-his bunkers below.

[ultralite001]

21. Whose doing the vetting for those doing the retrofit???

Surely they're gonna need big time security clearances for this work...

Will Krasnov get a "deal" 'cuz he's gonna want gold fixtures everywhere???

Oh, Lawdy... It'll be gawdy...
