Donald Trump 2020

[Mrs Whiggins 13,049]

He would be the first openly gay cabinet member if confirmed apparently, but NOT the first white supremacist.

No quorum so regardless of any violations that may or may not be occurring, it's raining money in TrumpTown.
 

Jesus Christ.

Even if a campaign were breaking rules by paying exorbitant rates, there’s not a lot anyone could do about it right now. The FEC, which examines such things, cannot take any official commission action unless at least four of its six commissioners vote to do so. Since Trump took office, three of the FEC’s commissioners have left their posts. Their seats—which demand presidential appointments and Senate confirmations—have yet to be filled.

Trump could come out and say "that's right, I'm keeping your money. It's not going to my campaign, it's going in my wallet" and I doubt those that donated would care.

Care? They'd donate more. It's not political, it's a cult and a team sport.

Cult is prob true. Team sport defietky is. My in-laws exhibit the same behavior toward the dems as they do the sooners or Aggy.

My daughter pulled the rare double bagger at Thanksgiving dinner - said she aligned more with dems and later said she wouldn’t mind going to OU.

Dinner was like that SNL Christmas skit with Matt Damon after that.

Oh, he's funneling millions straight out of the treasury into an offshore account right now. That's nearly guaranteed. Doesn't even need the campaign contributions from Cletus. He could just use tax money for all of it. But he wants it all from everyone.  Overt greed will probably be what undoes him.  Putin should have taught him the benefits of being discreet.

[Mrs Whiggins 13,049]

Today, like every day before it, will be full of surprises good and surprises bad because we are subject to the whims and percolations of a tiny-mitted neurological nightmare named Trump.

After a rambling rally in Phoenix last night where he had several of the twitches and verbal miscues that have become more noticeable, the President returned to Las Vegas to his hotel in the late hours.

The press will convene around lunchtime. Prior to leaving Las Vegas, the President will be the commencement speaker at a Prisoners' Graduation Ceremony at the Las Vegas Metro Police Dept. On the one hand, I'm delighted if incarcerated individuals have been continuing to pursue educational goals, but I'm not sure this particular president is the best person for this role.

Not to mention, he tends to treat everything like a rally and what if someone starts the 'lock 'em up' chant? AAAAWKWARD.

 

After the conclusion of the ceremony, the President travels to Colorado Springs, a beautiful city, and home to the US Air Force Academy and the Broadmoor Arena. He will be speaking at a KAG rally at the Arena and I suspect the rally will be short if last night was any indication of his stamina. The sundowning or drugs, I don't know which, really vary his ability to function from day to day.

Let's all hope that the good surprises outnumber the bad surprises. Hope! Persistence! Resistance!

[Guest Lobo]

Maybe we can hope for a prison rally like in "Natural Born Killers"???

I like "Tiny-Mitted"  I'm stealing that.  

Anybody got any video of his twitches/verbal queefs from Phoenix last night?  My wife, a published Speech Pathologist, likes to watch them for more signs of physiological issues.  Or as I call it.....foreplay.

We Calculated How Much We Pay Trump to Play Golf. It Turns Out, He's America's 10th Highest Paid Athlete

Quote

The great ones play through pain.

At 8:55 a.m. on Feb. 19, 2018, as Parkland, Fla., residents headed to a local church to mourn the senseless murder of 14-year-old Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Alaina Petty, 40 miles away, the president of the United States woke up early in the morning, slipped into a white polo shirt, a white Make America Great Again cap, piled in a golf cart and hit the links for four hours and 52 minutes.

 

Quote

That same weekend, as Trump luxuriated at Mar-a-Lago on our dime, professional golfer Bubba Watson collected $1,296,000 for his victory at the PGA’s Genesis Open. Since then, Watson has played in 44 events and earned an estimated $8.3 million on the PGA Tour. Rory McIlroy, the No. 1 player in the world, has earned nearly $12 million playing in 48 golf events over the last two years. Tiger Woods has only played in 33 events and earned $8.5 million.

Since then, according to Trump Golf Count, which tracks the president’s golf outings, Trump played at least 71 times. 

 

Quote

But $63 million in endorsements made Tiger the highest-paid golfer and the 11th highest-paid athlete in the world in 2019. Russell Wilson’s $89.5 million haul in salary and endorsements earned him a Just for Me relaxer, a turtleneck and the title of America’s highest-paid athlete, according to Forbes. Of course, none of these athletes take all that money home. They have to pay caddies, trainers, managers, agents and personnel. Those dollar amounts simply reflect what owners, sponsors, organizations and companies paid these athletes to play “the sports.”

 

Spoiler

According to the Government Accountability Office, during a one-month period in 2017, Americans paid $13 million for four trips to Trump properties for golf outings, including $60,000 for rooms and space at the Palm Beach resort. This includes thousands of dollars for lodging and feeding Secret Service agents paid directly to the resort owned by Trump. Using GAO data detailing the costs of Donald Trump’s travel, we can estimate that taxpayers pay about $600,000 per round of golf. The Washington Posts estimates that we pay $3.4 million for each presidential visit to the “Southern White House.” 

Since 2016, federal government departments have spent about $130 million for Trump to hit the links. That doesn’t include another $13.8 million incurred in local security costs that the federal government reimbursed to the city of Palm Beach through spring 2019. If you extrapolate those costs to today’s date, the total local and federal costs for Trump’s athletic endeavors total $152 million or roughly $50.6 million per year for Trump to play golf. In the three years since Trump became president, no billionaire team owner, no sports organization, no company has paid a human being more to play golf.

Using Forbes’ list of highest-paid athletes, Trump ties for 10th among America’s best-paid athletes and 17th in the world. Trump’s “salary” is the same as Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout’s, whose 12-year, $426.5 million deal was the richest contract in the history of team sports.

In eight years, Obama’s total travel costs, including family vacations, totaled $114 million. Most of that family travel money wasn’t spent on golf outings or paid to companies owned by Obama. Even if it did, Obama’s name would still not appear on the Forbes list. That $14.25 million per year would land Obama above Cincinnati Bengals’ defensive tackle Geno Atkins but below second-string Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller. 

I think that the American people should at least get their money’s worth. If we’re going to pay the president to play golf, we should at least get to watch. And we should own a sizable investment in Mar-a-Lago by now. We should be able to rent it out for family reunions, cookouts and gender reveals. If Trump wants to play golf, it’s perfectly fine. But he should have to pay his own way or stay home. Isn’t that how this is supposed to work?

Oh, wait...here’s an idea:

Trump vs. Obama in a golf match.

Winner gets to be president again.

I’d pay for that.

Biff, that IS his job. Essentially since the day after he was placed in office. Once the GOP realized that he could be the frontman for their own agendas, his goals and objectives have been clear as have theirs. That is what his opponents are up against. His campaign/Administration/Party are unified, they are immoral, and they are leaning against the door with as much weight from the three compromised branches of government as they can muster.

Rohrbacher speaks about Assange meeting.

I was on my own fact finding mission at personal expense to find out information I thought was important to our country.    I was shocked to find out that no other member of Congress had taken the time in their official or unofficial capacity to interview Julian Assange.  At no time did I offer Julian Assange anything from the President because I had not spoken with the President about this issue at all

Don't you just KNOW the constituents of California's 48th Congressional district were clamoring for Rohrbacher to fly to the Ecudorian Embassy to get information from Julian Assange?   I love how carefully-worded his denial is.

Read this story.  Then think about the implications of governing (or anything of importance) via Twitter:

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/alexkantrowitz/how-saudi-arabia-infiltrated-twitter

Quote

Ali Alzabarah was panicked. His heart raced as he drove home from Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters in the early evening on Dec. 2, 2015. He needed to leave the country — quickly.

Earlier that day, Twitter’s management accused the unassuming 32-year-old of accessing thousands of user profiles without authorization to pass their identifying information — including phone numbers and IP addresses — reportedly to Bader al-Asaker, the head of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s charity and private office. When the conversation concluded, management seized Alzabarah’s laptop, put him on administrative leave, and escorted him out of the building.

 

Quote

Arriving home at San Bruno’s Acappella Apartments — a complex so close to San Francisco International Airport he could hear planes fly overhead — Alzabarah planned his escape. At 5:17 p.m. he called a handler, identified as Associate-1 in the FBI complaint, who arrived in a white SUV two hours later. Driving around Alzabarah’s neighborhood, the two men called “Foreign Official-l” — al-Asaker, according to the Washington Post — at 7:20 p.m., and again at 7:22 p.m. and 7:31 p.m. They then called Dr. Faisal Al Sudairi, the Saudi consul general in Los Angeles, at 8:30 p.m., 8:38 p.m., and 9:26 p.m. Shortly after midnight, the consul general called Alzabarah back and spoke with him for three minutes.

 

Quote

Early the next morning, Alzabarah, his wife, and daughter boarded a plane for Saudi Arabia.

From May 2015 until he was exposed that December, Alzabarah spied for the Saudi Arabian government inside Twitter, a criminal complaint from the FBI alleges. (Unless explicitly attributed to other sources, the details and allegations that follow are taken from the FBI’s criminal complaint.)

That move that Trump does at the podiums, where he belts out a few phrases and takes a break to breathe by leaning back and to the side during the applause breaks...it reminds me of that 'Chocolate Rain' guy doing that in his video, where he breathes away from the microphone. 

Is there a betting pool on how long it takes Trump to fully grant clemency to Roger Stone?  40 months isn't exactly a walk in the park and the judge sure as hell sounded like the court wants him to serve every day of that stretch.  But then as Roger Stone said, "Forty months?  Ain't nuthin'...but a thang."
