Trump’s Golf Costs: $102 Million And Counting, With Taxpayers Picking Up The Tab
Trump promised never to golf. Instead, he’s spent more than twice as many days golfing as Obama at the same point, costing taxpayers over three times as much.
It's possible that he's doing LESS harm by being such a fat, lazy, absentee POTUS.O Really wrote: ↑Wed May 22, 2019 4:04 pmTrump golf...yada yada.
Yeah, it's outrageous and something entertaining to ridicule, but every article reporting on Trump's golf, or his refusal to sit on the traditional cushion at the sumo match, or his insulting tweets, or some stupid comment he made at a rally for whatever state's rednecks just takes up space that could better be used to report on the actual harmful things he and his malicious henchmen actually do.
Are Americans so brain-dead as to respond only to bread and circuses and not notice Rome burning? Oh wait...
Yeah, that was a decent theory for a while, but while he's sucking up all the news by being Trump, the ignorant incompetent but malicious cabinet heads are wreaking havoc and his fat lazy absentee habits just enable that.

Trump says 'she's a mess' after Pelosi says Trump family needs to stage 'intervention'
... At a White House event Thursday afternoon, Trump said, "She's a mess," called Pelosi "crazy Nancy" and said "she's lost it."
"I have been watching her for a long period of time. She's not the same person. She’s lost it," Trump said, in a flurry of increasingly personal attacks on his political nemesis.
"It was sad when I watched Nancy all moving, the movement and the hands and the craziness. I watch that, by the way, a person that has some problems," he added, appearing to refer her news conference earlier in the day.
Trump went around the room asking Counselor Kellyanne Conway, press secretary Sarah Sanders and other top aides to testify about how calm he was in a White House meeting on Wednesday with Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that he left abruptly after just three minutes.
The president, as he's done before, referred to himself "as an extremely stable genius." ...
Why Doesn't Media Question Pelosi's Mental Health: Nancy Pelosi's mental health? Why? Did they ever question Jerry Nadler's mental health, why not?
Tax returns. Why are the media disinterested in Paul and Nancy Pelosi's tax returns? They're multimillionaire, she's the Speaker of the House, all legislation comes through her. We now see there's issues with Elijah Cummings and a piece in The Washington Examiner, where his wife runs these two foundations and an enormous amount of money comes into those foundations and she gets a big paycheck from those foundations.
And some of those who are donating or have donated are overseen by his Committee. Why don't we have the tax returns of Nancy Pelosi and the bank records of Nancy Pelosi and all the Chairman of these Committees, in fact all of the members of these Committees. Why are the media absolutely disinterested in this?
Why are Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and their influence peddling with a foreign government untouchable? Why aren't these issues? Why aren't these being investigated? I'll give you another example. We talk about executive privilege. I hear these so-called legal experts and senior this and senior that talking about executive privilege like it's never been asserted before. So the media doesn't provide any context for their audience in many respects. George Washington was the first to assert executive privilege. Dwight Eisenhower has asserted. In no particular order, I'm just thinking about it. Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Grover Cleveland, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton; I'm sure there are many others.
So why does the President exert executive privilege? Because he's trying to hide crimes or financial misconduct, or he doesn't want information to be out? No, because he's protecting the executive branch from Congress. It doesn't say in the constitution that Congress gets whatever it wants, that Congress can issue whatever subpoena it wants against anyone it wants for their personal records, for whatever it is.
Congress doesn't function that way, isn't supposed to. Executive privilege can be asserted for a number of reasons, including protecting the privacy of White House deliberations. That is a President with immediate staff like Don McGahn, his lawyer. I heard somebody say, I forget which network it was on, I just said, gee what a knucklehead, and they present themselves as a legal analyst, that the President somehow waived privilege with Don McGahn, because he allowed Don McGahn to speak to the prosecutor.
The prosecutor is in the executive branch. We're talking about asserting privilege against Congress getting the information from Mr. McGahn; two different things that was never waived. And so what does Mr. Nadler do, whose tax returns I'd like to see and may need a psychological makeup as well, from what I understand. What does he do? Well, he claims that the fact that they can't get Don McGahn should really start discussions about impeachment. So a President asserting executive privilege, like other Presidents have to protect the executive branch and the Office of the President, should start a discussion about impeachment? And of course over Chris Cuomo at CNN, he sits there dumb as a rock and he allows that to go through.
Now they want Hope Hicks, who was a confidante to the President, and Annie Donaldson who was the Chief of Staff to the White House Counsel, all these people fit within the circle of close advisors and confidantes of the President of the United States.
They'll never get them, but they want the media out - it's all for the media - they want the drama. We have subpoenaed 412 times and 412 times he's resisted the subpoena, and he won't allow these people to talk. And Nadler is on TV yesterday, a complete fraud and disgrace, and he accused of the President of the United States last night. He announced that he's committed crimes. Is he a judge? Is he a jury? Is he a prosecutor now?
No, he's just another, may I say, jerk politician from New York City. And now he's declared that the President has committed crimes, while he's waving around the constitution of the United States in his star chamber. Let me explain a few other things. Mr. Nadler, you're interested in tax returns. Why weren't you interested in Obama's tax returns? You're interested in bank accounts. Why weren't you interested in Obama's tax returns? You're interested in making sure there's no foreign influence in a President of the United States and so forth.
I don't remember you all worked up with Johnny Chung, the Riyadi group and all the money that flowed into the Clinton campaign and all the money that flowed into the DNC, millions of millions of dollars, I don't remember you demanding a Special Counsel.
Here's what at least half the country knows, Nadler is a fraud, the Democrats in the House are a fraud that they want to reverse the course of this country. They want to disenfranchise the 63 million Americans who voted for them.
Here is what else they know, the Democrats have the press in their back pocket and the press has the Democrats in their back pocket. You want to know all the details, check out "Unfreedom of the Press", because the rest of us, we stand for the freedom of the press, not this perversion of the First Amendment.https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video ... trump.html
The unraveling of Pelosi is a sad sight: Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House of Representatives, is, in a word, a mess.
But let’s pause for one moment to do something we almost never do: Offer a few words of praise for Mrs. Pelosi, born Nancy Patricia D’Alesandro in 1940. The Italian-American has spent nearly her whole life in politics, first as a 20-year member of the Democratic National Committee from California, then as the state party’s chairman.
She first won election to the House in 1987 — when Ronald Reagan was president — and she’s been there ever since. In 2002, after working her way to the top, Mrs. Pelosi was elected speaker of the House, the first woman ever to helm a national party in the august chamber.
It cannot be denied that Mrs. Pelosi has devoted her life to public service, and that (at least) is a noble cause.
Now, the bad news. She’s done — she’s past done. Her ever-growing list of verbal blunders is far too long to catalog here, and the 77-year-old seems more and more out of touch with regular Americans (dubbing the recent tax cuts by President Trump — which amounts to thousands of dollars for many people — “crumbs” is just the latest example). Worse, Mrs. Pelosi seems to keep coming up with new ways to embarrass herself.

ivesssapology for a video which is allegedly is a caricature of an otherwise halting speech pattern, she should first stop, and apologize for, saying the President needs an “intervention.” Are
There is only one word that accurately describes Giuliani's comment: Covfefe!
Remember when President Obama shared an altered video on Twitter of Paul Ryan? Yeah. Neither do I.
The difference between Pelosi and Trump is that with Trump there is no need to doctor the video.
“PELOSI STAMMERS THROUGH NEWS CONFERENCE” - Trump
Seriously? Does he even listen to himself? He has yet to finish a sentence before he changes subjects. He is as funny to listen to as Palin.
Jeezus, I haven't seen this type of behavior since nursery school.
Wait until Trump sees the videos showing HIS speech patterns - incoherence, half-sentences, unfinished thoughts, ramblings, and so many digressions as to boggle the mind.
the bar for presidential behaviour is no longer the ground level this administration has reached. They have started digging!!
But, but, but Obama. But, but Clinton. Umm and EMAILS, and, oh yeah, BENGHAZI!! See it all, discussed tonight, on Hannity!!
OMG this is what was elected to the highest office in the land? What were they thinking?
Sounds like Rudy may need an intervention too. Thoughts and prayers.
With a guy like Giuliani, Trump is going to go down. Never in the history of the U.S. presidency has there been a Administration that is run like a carnival side show. This Administration has nothing to do with serving the citizens of this country. Instead, it is all about making a former tv reality show host look good, which isn't working.
If that was true, then how did Trump get elected? How is he still *president? :confusion-shrug:1 CAT FAN wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2019 9:04 pmThe unraveling of Pelosi is a sad sight: Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House of Representatives, is, in a word, a mess.
