Holy shit! I would have sworn on my grandmother's grave that this was satire. Instead our tax dollars not only support drug addicts, but get to buy them new pipes.
The Democrats really are the enemy of sane people. Minus infinite Babylon Bee Bucks.

"OK corporate focus group, as we approach February we will roll out our usual decorations plus one surprise - don't think, just say the first thing which comes into your mind when I say....The Black American Experience:"
Money spent on fancy digs is money unavailable for meddling in politics — hey, has anyone looked at the Obamas for BLM’s missing $60 million? Then there will be additional millions needed to keep the place running and maintained, which those tacky nouveau riches tend to forget in their spendthrift pursuit of status markers. After nearly two years in process without completion, each step require a nw injection of funds, no wonder he wears a jaundiced expression.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Trouble in paradise? Scowling Barack Obama inspects the construction of his new multimillion-dollar Hawaii mansion and controversial sea wall which his neighbors fear will erode the beachline.
Construction appears to be well underway on Barack Obama's Hawaii beachfront compound
Obama was pictured speaking to builders and architects from a local island-based building firm
The former President did not look happy in photos snapped of him as he spoke with the construction crew
Obama could be seen with his arms folder and making pointed gestures before turning around to walk inside
His close friend and confidant Marty Nesbitt purchased property for $8.7 million in 2015
Previously, the site was home to the famous mansion from Magnum PI TV series which was torn down
In 2020 it was revealed how the buyer of the three-acre plot of land used a planning loophole to preserve a century-old sea wall on the beachfront, much to the annoyance of neighbors and environmentalists
Experts say such sea walls contribute to beach erosion and can damage the coastal environment
The developers are building three homes on the 3-acre beachfront site including two swimming pools and a security fence One for Barry and Michelle, one each for their daughters?

major construction projects in Hawaii have a history of cost over run and delay
the Oahu Rail Transit system is a case in point[ they project has been devouring funds for a decade with the timeline for opening pushed back every year or so and ridership estimates decreasing every time a new study is done

If the first mansion didn't fill the hole in his soul, will a second do the job?

Looks like they're asking him to transfer funds from his crack account to cover a construction cost overrun.

Obama is a really smart guy (just ask him!), so if he is building an ocean-side mansion, than sea level rise from global warming must no longer be a concern.
The Democrat, who has been branded a 'mask fascist' on the social media platform, retweeted the photo of her visit at Glenwood Elementary School
she's HUGE!
The photo had been originally shared by Dr Holly Brookins, the school's principal, who said Abrams, 48, had read the class fo small children her book Stacey's Extraordinary Words to kick off Black History Month.
Abrams, who recently called Georgia Governor Brian Kemp 'incompetent' for moving to block local mask mandates, has since deleted her tweet. Kemp, who may face Abrams in the Fall, also took to Twitter
'Stacey Abrams wants state government mask mandates for Georgians and their children. But it looks like they wouldn’t apply when she’s attending a photo op,' he wrote on the social media platform
The controversy comes on the heels of a series of public outcries against Democrat leaders who have failed to abide by the same same draconian COVID-19 guidelines they have preached throughout the pandemic
[FoxBusiness] Ullrich Water Treatment Plant also suffered a dual failure in February 2021.
Austin, Texas prides itself on being a high-tech hub, the center of the Texas "Silicon Prairie." It's home to Google and Facebook, which just signed the city's largest-ever lease, and will soon be home to Apple's mammoth campus on the city's northern edge. Austin was where Twitter was first introduced at SXSW, which is one of the world's leading technology and cultural showpieces every year. Even nearby cities reap from Austin's tech reputation: Samsung is building a massive plant in Taylor, up the road about 40 miles from downtown Austin.
But infrastructure and essentials like potable water are key to supporting business, and the Texas capital is having trouble keeping its drinking water clean, again.
Austin issued a water boil notice Saturday night that will last "a couple days" after officials failed to address the issue following a failure a year ago at the same treatment plant.
Officials issued the notice Saturday night that the Ullrich Water Treatment Plant is out of service due to "an internal treatment process issue that resulted in high turbidity." Crews and officials are working to restore operations.
Mayor Steve Adler said it appeared that "this will be over in a couple of days." He helped with water distribution Sunday, applauding the city's purchase of water trucks after Winter Storm Uri, which hit Texas mid-Feb. 2021 and led to a similar water shutdown, at the very same plant.
The boil water notice has caused some anger among Austin residents who found the situation unacceptable, largely focused on a mayor who appears to prioritize defunding the police instead of ensuring Austin can handle the brief winter storms it experiences year to year - efforts that have led to an incredible spike in homicides.
"City leaders have ignored the real issues facing everyday Austinites and have manifestly failed to provide core services that are commensurate with the taxes we pay to live in an expensive city," Save Austin Now co-founder Matt Mackowiak told FOX Business. "This is our third water boil notice in three years. Last year we set an all-time homicide record and we are on track to set a new record this year."
"Affordability has never been worse," he added. "Homeless camping continues in violation of a voter-passed initiative re-instituting the ban on camping. This will never change until voters consider standard of living and vote these bums out for reasonable, solution-oriented people."
Others took to Twitter to vent their frustration, with some labeling the conditions as "third world."

If you took away a function from government each time they failed to deliver, you would eventually eliminate government. Might be the way to go.
