A federal judge weighed into a dispute over Donald Trump’s controversial plans to revamp a historic Washington DC golf course on Monday, warning the president’s administration to tread carefully as it also dumped “toxic” rubble from the demolished White House East Wing there. District court judge Ana Reyes likened the saga to an episode of the hit television comedy Parks and Recreation during an emergency hearing in the capital to hear an application for a temporary restraining order filed by the DC Preservation League.
“I’m no Amy Poehler,” she said, referring to the show’s lead actress, who played a character blindly supportive of government initiatives regardless of their merit.
Reyes ultimately decided to let maintenance work continue at the waterfront East Potomac golf links, a public course, but warned of “serious consequences” if the Trump administration moved ahead at speed with its reported redevelopment plans.
The Washington Post said on Saturday it had obtained a fundraising document showing Trump’s intention to “dramatically remake parts of Washington’s waterfront”, including creating an exclusive championship course and building a “national garden of American heroes”.
The superintendent of the National Mall and Memorial Parks for the National Park Service (NPS), Kevin Griess, told the court that no major renovation work was planned for the coming days, contrary to a report published on the news website Notus on Friday that said the course would close after Sunday’s final tee time.
More lies, distortions, secrets, and privatization. First seize the courses..dump toxic waste on them…then close them, and finally privatize them into ‘Trump Courses.’
It’d be funny if an enraged golfer were the one who finally assassinated him. Funnier still if he were buried on one! lol SAY ‘NO’ TO WAR! RESIST!
Yikes, be careful about those final words... But yeah, I get it completely.
Unbelievable that he buried Ivana on one of his golf courses and IF some enraged golfer in D.C. did as you've suggested, he'd more than deserve a commendation just before his incarceration for murder.
To me, murder is never the answer. Take trump down hard and demolish him, but do it legally.
