“Losers, Get motorboats!”
Paddlers Sue Over Potomac River Shutdown When Trump Golfs
I thought Trump really enjoyed a good paddling. Fake news?
Yep, you really have to watch out for those torpedo-laden kayaks…
Given how hopelessly up a creek he is, you’d think he’d appreciate a paddle
He’s been there more than 36 times…SINCE JUNE!!! That’s one day in every four. And that’s just this one course.
Oh, yeah. He’s way too busy to play golf. I can see that.
As much as I’m for these paddlers and their access to the river, I don’t see them winning this case. Secret Service has a lot of power to shut down security areas and create a off-limit zone. The Coast Guard are just following orders from the authority of the CoC. I don’t see the Coast Guard too happy with this arrangement either, especially in light of the fact that tRump just took $29 million out of their budget as another way to shift funding for his private prisons (internment camps or concentration camps to be more accurate) to house primarily Hispanic immigrants that he continues to take his animus out on for trying to come here for a better life for themselves and their families.
If the Secret Service wants to secure it they can put a couple folks out there in boats to keep an eye on things. What this is telling me is that somebody in SCUBA gear can swim right up without being observed because they’re not doing their jobs.
Why would anyone want to harm the president when he does such a bangup job of it all on his own?
Since last June. June 2017.
Temporarily, sure. But this sounds as if it’s effectively a permanent closure, because no one knows when he’s going to take it into his mind to play golf. And that may well be subject to a regulatory process. Not that the regulatory process would fail, but you have to go through it rather than simply announcing it as fact.
It’s a good thing trump isn’t a walker or a jogger, because then the national mall would be randomly closed for a few hours on random days when he decided to go out for a stroll.
Golf is not a verb. No one golf’s or goes golfing. Would you say someone “tennised” or went “tennising”. Stop it. He “played” golf, or plays golf. Stop that right now, or else I’ll golf a ball at your forehead.
I think you’ve lost that battle.
Any decent person who becomes president should be concerned with how his (or maybe someday - hopefully - her) leisure activities might impact his constituents (i.e. every American). Maybe they can’t golf at a certain spot while they’re in office. Too bad - like any job, there are downsides, and if one doesn’t like them, one shouldn’t take the job.
I don’t really know how past presidents were at managing this, but it’s obvious that donnie would be horrible.
So Trump has played golf JUST AT THIS COURSE about every 12 days over the past 1 year, 3 months.
Does Trump have a day job?
“Does trump have a day job?” Sure he does, but he is not very good at it.
