In the past year, Donald Trump's golf resort in Doral has lost a whopping $26 million in value. Hotel executives have blamed the president's politics: Liberal Northeasterners would rather vacation elsewhere, and organizers for NASCAR and PGA Tour events simply don't want the bad PR. 

But a few types of organizations still routinely host events at Trump National Doral Miami: Republican political campaigns, opportunistic trade groups, and, for whatever reason, police unions and associations.

 

Quote

This past weekend, the LEO Foundation — an organization that fundraises for police officers in Miami-Dade County — held its annual awards ceremony at the Doral golf resort. Last month, the Hispanic Police Officers Association threw a Valentine's Day gala there. The Dade County Police Benevolent Association, the largest police union in the county, has also booked Trump National Doral for its annual awards gala in May.

 

Quote

Since Trump began his campaign for president, a number of organizations have been called out for holding events at his properties. Critics say the setup gives the appearance of pay-for-play, and sometimes the arrangement seems pretty transparent. After the payday lending industry held its conference at Trump Doral last year, for example, the Trump administration rolled back Obama-era rules that restricted how payday loans are extended.

 

Quote

Police associations gathering at other Trump venues in Florida have been criticized in the past. Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold notes the president filmed a special video for the Palm Beach Police Foundation at a recent Mar-a-Lago gala, "providing a service only available to his own customers, who're paying him money in his private capacity."

He's signing BIBLES?  What the fuck?

I'm sorry, but I was brought up in the church -- Presbyterian, though, which is typically the most rational and least susceptible denomination -- and there is NO FUCKING WAY we would have had a Dick Nixon Bible-signing party.

Good lord this country is full of suckers.

Johnny Sack just paid $500 for one off Ebay.

Sarah's on a roll.

I like that his alibi as to why he barely knows her is because she's a "low level sex trafficker"...

I guess he only associates with the HIGH level sex traffickers like Jeffrey Epstein.

First, the Cooper tweet about low level sex trafficker is a joke right?

Second, did Bongino claim he didn't know Yang and then that photo comes to light?

Someone posted the picture and Bongino immediately got defensive.

Even if you agreed with whatever bullshit the right is pedaling these days, when you hear the president sputtering out sentence fragments and blatantly lying about the color of the sky every day, how do you possibly still support him as a person?  It's wild.  He's like a squawking cartoon.

I was about to ask.

Apparently it's an attempt to combine Christian theology with American militarism. I haven't researched it. I'm not even sure if it's an actual bible with all the books or if it's some kind of hybrid of bible verses and coursework. Giving them the benefit of the doubt I'm assuming it's both.
