Good thing we didn’t elect Crooked Hillary.

The swamp is now so deep, I hear it’s creating a new river in eastern Virginia. First new river created in the US in thousands of years. :smirk:

If the Trump administration were a business, E&Y would refuse to do its obligatory outside audits. Thank goodness for investigative journalism.

I wonder who’ll pay Trump’s commissary tab for him when he’s in prison. Because the more I hear lately, the more I think that’s where he’s going to end up when he’s done presidenting.

Anyone who has done any government contracting will find this astonishing. Contract rules generally sacrifice efficiency for protecting (or appearing to protect) the people’s money.

Will this administration ever end its lies? Steve Bannon quit drinking? If that is true, then my nephew is a monkey. And, Bannon needs some help from dozens of medical professionals because no teetotaler should look that awful.

Trump base: we’re willing to pay for our god’s luxury even if we’re suffering!

Never mind they’re parasites themselves.

This is the kind of bullshit that every Administration has to deal with. What is key is how the Administration dealt with the problem.

If it were anyone but this president, you’d be talking felony charges. The Mayor of Baltimore is facing federal raps for self-dealing that was way less brazen than this.

If they we’re hosting a champion sports team, they would have served 2 buck chuck, but charged $20 a bottle. The house needs to subpeona the financial records of every Trump property that’s hosted a government paid event.

And I just vomited in my mouth a little.

A portrait of Trump in tennis whites called the The Visionary? I mean, I get why he dresses in tennis whites, Trump is all about doing the white thing, but I suspect the original title was Cellulite.

What I am waiting for is for someone to calculate the actual wholesale cost of the various brands and quantities consumed at that bar to Donald Trump. My bet, below $100.

Time for the House to subpoena records from gov’t agencies of every payment made to Trump properties since he was elected in Nov. 2016, and to let the public know how much has been spent at Trump properties in total.

If there is justice, and we get a dem as president, the 7th thing she should do is stiff mar a lago and his other properties, then tell 45* to sue them, right after they’re done with the other 66 lawsuits the family is dealing with.

No one else has ever created a river. And it’s the best. The best river.

This is just appalling. I worked as a federal purchasing agent and advised co-workers on filling out their travel vouchers for a couple of decades. Split purchasing is something you just don’t do. One instance calls for a sweeping investigation of that specific purchase and everything else you’ve purchased. Often you’re required to pay back the government for those purchases, or you could lose your purchase card or your job. There is just no way the government is allowed to use taxpayer money to purchase alcohol for employees at a bar.

Bannon, who has said he stopped drinking years ago, said he didn’t drink at Mar-a-Lago and didn’t recall the episode.

“I was too drunk,” he explained.
