OH. FOR. FUCKS. SAKE.

The perfect follow up to yesterday’s melt down.

ETA - This announcement is very suspicious. Smoke meet mirrors.

Other G7 members should think about this. It will not be a pleasant sojourn. There will be mass civil unrest.

Mulvaney insisted Trump won’t profit from the event

If only because Trump will be in jail by then.

The blatant corruption and self-dealing continues in plain sight. It’s long past time to impeach this motherfucker.

P.S. Mulvaney is a master of bullshit. (Please pardon the excess of profanity in this post, but I am kind of riled up.)

Any country or leader that attends should be boycotted and accused of bribery. Let’s get them all to decline.

Doral is having some financial trouble so it’s no wonder that Hurricane Donald is trying to drum up some business.

Mulvaney:

“We sat around one night, we were back in the dining room going over it with our advance team and we had the list and he goes, ‘what about Doral?’ And I was like, ‘that’s not the craziest idea that makes perfect sense.'”

Well, at least we have it in his own words.

In the Times, Mulvaney is quoted as saying it’s the best known brand in the English language. Hardly a qualifiable statement (really, more than Hilton, say? Or Marlboro?). But it is soon to be the most disgraced brand throughout the entire world.

Boss Tweed was pretty brazenly corrupt. Died in federal jail in NYC. I guess beyond a certain point there’s no turning back and you might as well keep grifting hard.

mick also said that Russia should be a part of the G7 because they talk about them so much in these summits.

He also emphatically said that there will be NO discussion of climate change. DAMN…they already have the agenda typed up?

That whole interview was a study in arrogance In addition to that he said this

John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) tweeted at 1:03 PM on Thu, Oct 17, 2019:

Mulvaney concedes that Trump’s desire to investigate “DNC server” was part of the reason Ukraine aide was held up

reporter: so it was a quid pro quo

Mulvaney: we do that all the time. get over it. politics is going to be involved in foreign policy elections do have consequences

This is a clear violation of the Emoluments Clause. It’s cut and dried. There’s no grey area. This must be stopped.

We need a campaign (public and official) telling G7 leaders not to show up and line Trump’s pockets.
They all hate him anyway.
