Imagine how much red ink they’d be spilling without (Help Me) Ronna’s price supports?

“It is my intention to do fundraisers at Mar-a-Lago as often as I can, so long as they help generate positive cash flow for my Senate campaign for America First policies,” Brooks said in a statement. “I personally thank President Trump for allowing me to use Mar-a-Lago and hope he will continue to be so generous in the future.”

So Mo who would like to move up from Representative to Senator is going to do fund raising for his senate campaign in a place that is close to 650 miles away from the border of AL and FL?

I shouldn’t have pointed that out, but my secret wish is that he spends loads of time there, and therefore AL voters will go “Moo who?”.

So how soon before Mar-e-Coli is opening a Golden Corral?

Or a Waffle House?

Hooters?

Ya gotta cater to your clientele, right?

Yeah, but the Secret Service is still plowing thousands and thousands of dollars into Trump properties housing their agents in overpriced rooms. Aren’t there less expensive hotels nearby the Trump properties where these guys can rest when not on duty?

Going way out on a limb here but I sort of suspected life would change when he was no longer president. People weren’t spending that money because the towels at his joints were extra fluffy.

His lease on the Old Post Office building needs to be terminated. Should have happened five years ago.

They spend money there and he still insults them and tells them they’re stupid. Cowards one and all.

He still has leverage. You want his endorsement, you have to show you have a substantial campaign fund and commit to spending a chunk of it at his properties.

Surprisingly easy leverage and quick national secret information, along with toxic foreign policy implementation was readily available. Yard sale prices every day.
