That was never supposed to look like the White House - the stage is used often for virtual conferences and it is always publicly announced as the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

Nobody is pretending the stage is the White House... the computer screen "windows" often show images out the front of the Oval Office.

I have seen this explained as the WH using this to avoid having to record who joe is meeting with on the visitor logs. Apparently they learned from Obamas time

Stage was set!

I've heard that every bit of furniture - especially the resolute desk - and artwork etc. we’re removed and are in safe storage. Knowing what we now know regarding the belligerent enemy, could you imagine what these pillagers would do? Every thief that stepped inside would be eying up souvenirs to steal.

Has anyone, at all, seen Biden walking into or out of or around the actual white house. I am trying to find any kind of good footage and can't. Whatever reason you give for Joe not using the wh when other presidents did, it's all very odd.
