"Donald Trump loves to golf and that does not come cheap for the American people.
In fact, the president has spent nearly $71 million of taxpayer money hitting the links this year. And, per the report, that puts him on pace to shell out a whopping $300 million on golf during his second term in office.
To put that in perspective, Trump spent an estimated $151.5 million golfing during his first term, so he is on pace to double that figure."

I'm still scratching my head over the significant time delay between him resigning and actually leaving the job. If he resigned on principle, how did he justify staying in the job a few more months?
Additionally, it's really surprising that Petey/Donny would have LET HIM stay on when he had announced to the world (apparently) that he didn't like being on the War Crimes Team.
Upside for Trump: He's getting rid of ANOTHER black or female senior flag officer.

I hear that they have a few very adorable kids. They play in the garden right next to the camp. Life is good.

Can't say for sure. But in Trump 2.0 he has shied away from public firings. He just moves people around. Maybe Rachel Madow's huge wall of shame of firings during 1.0 is what Trump wants to avoid. That look of ineptness. Yes he is that petty.
True of his cabinet, but certainly not of military officers wearing 4 stars (or the notable DIA 3-star firing after the Iran strikes).

Simple incredible. And not in a good way...
"U.S. officials contacted by Reuters were surprised by Trump's announcement and unaware of any ongoing U.S. military operations to enforce a closure of Venezuelan airspace. The White House did not provide any further explanation."

Also, he hired "better" this time. Cabinet members aren't implying that he's an idiot this time around, so why fire them?

So, I guess that we can be happy that there is still SOME confidential journalism possible with this administration. Because, no doubt, you'd get fired if anyone knew that you said anything other than, "Yes, of course I knew all about it, and it was powerful and strong announcement by our Deer Leader !!!"

My takeaway is that I can't see how we became OK with our President announcing the he is closing air space over another country to start bombing and killing people and now learning that it was just him making stuff up and sh!tposting on his social media app.
And this is our new normal.

Crooked Joe Biden, Mayorkas, and so-called “Border Czar” Kamala Harris really screwed our Country by letting anyone and everyone come in totally unchecked and unvetted!

US looks more and more like a so called communist state. Leaders breaking international laws, interfering in the economy to get richer themselves etc. US is actually way more like a communist country under Trump than Russia has ever been. How can Trumps people be angry at left leaning people when they themselves are even more communists?
American's have been crossing the Mexican border for over 100 years to get illegal drugs. That is not something new.

President Trump has set free a private equity executive who had served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence for his role in what prosecutors described as a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of victims.
Like I said, it will be decades before we fully discover who paid what to whom with each of Trump's decisions. There are far too many corrupt actions to keep track of.
But rest assured, it is all about money and power. Trump does nothing on principle.
Follow the money is a great concept, but a very difficult concept to execute in an authoritarian regime where any opposition has no power to do so.
Trump flushes away his paper trail.

trump will never pay a serious penalty for his crimes, never.
the idiots will just say 'trump has full immunity for all official acts' and that will be that.
but for centuries his name will be used as an example of a country gone mad and a great republic abandoning its principles in thrall to a charismatic demagogue.

If Trump actually was authoritarian he’d 100% shut down all protests against him and would cancel elections (remind you of anyone? Like a certain Ukrainian leader?). He didn’t.

She has worked hard to hide her ethnic roots. She is brown-skinned and Jewish, which means more likely Arabic origin than Germany. In Israel she is a the lowest step of the Jewish ladder.
Below is a good article about how shallow this person is. Failing to defend her racist argument (Jews can't be racists) with Cenk Uygur. She buried herself so deep, she resorted to a deportation threat to defend herself.

I'm getting a little ahead of myself, but......a new reason to hope that Trump leads a long and miserable post-presidency life. Incessantly and intensely mocked, of course, AND an internationally-convicted war criminal who can't ever leave the U.S. (i.e., Mar a Lardo) ???
Putting the flight paths to the Palm Beach airport would be a priority. Many take offs veer over Merde Lago, a non-residential property. Trump has permanently changed the path so that planes now take off over homes.

No one ever pays that prices. Trump charges more than the maximum rate for government people who stay at his dump ... $2,600 per night. GSA rates are thrown out the door.
