September 30
Vance (08:15 am ET): Morning everyone. Have you seen the new pics of the Rose Garden?
Rubio (08:16 am ET): Just saw that – bulldozed and paved over! 🌹💥🚜
Wiles (08:18 am ET): Reminiscent of a car park now…
Waltz (08:22 am ET): It aligns with the White House redesign, all part of the plan.
Vance (08:27 am ET): I still don’t wrap my head around paving over a historical site. Hits a nerve, and not in a good way.
Hegseth (08:32 am ET): It’s metaphorical, guys. Paving new paths and all that. Gotta keep America first! 💪🇺🇸🔥
Miller (08:40 am ET): They always find something to cry about, whether it’s policies or a garden. Everyone’s a critic.
Gabbard (08:45 am ET): I don’t see the problem. It’s practical. Maybe we should start paving over more things.
Rubio (08:48 am ET): Were you thinking something specific, Tulsi?
Kent (08:49 am ET): I’ve got dibs on paving over Brussels next!
Wiles (08:50 am ET): Brussels sprouts or Brussels, Belgium? 😂
Rubio (08:52 am ET): I’d take Brussels sprouts. At least they offer nutrients.
Vance (08:56 am ET): Back to the Rose Garden issue, I think it’s less about the act itself and more about the disregard for history. Sending the wrong message.
Witkoff (09:00 am ET): What’s history got to do with it? We are about the future!
Hegseth (09:05 am ET): That’s the spirit, Steve! And speaking of the future, anyone else excited for the new Batman movie? 🦇
Ratcliffe (09:10 am ET): Didn’t we get enough of those already?
Miller (09:15 am ET): Only if Batman throws punches at the liberal media.
Kent (09:18 am ET): And European moochers!
Vance (09:22 am ET): Take it easy, guys. We’re still on a government chat.
Rubio (09:28 am ET): Back to work, everyone. Have a good day.
Gabbard (09:30 am ET): Marco, want to grab lunch later?
Vance (09:34 am ET): Gabbard trying to make a move on Rubio. Never thought I’d see the day.
Miller (09:40 am ET): This chat needs an “end conversation” button…
Bessent (09:45 am ET): Amen to that.
