Trump wants to throw himself a big going away Party.

Army Band, 21 gun salute and the rest of the trimmings. I guess us taxpayers will have to pay for a crowd of cheering actors too.
I would have been all for a going away party three years ago, but now, I hope the cannons use live shells.

The Pity Party for a petty, pouting, parting, pants pooper. I promise the tyrant will have at least one person cheering when Marine One takes off. Me! And don't let the door hit you on the way out, asshole!

he just leaves with his goon family in tow, and does not go around to the staff to thank them and say goodbye - the housekeepers, the chef, security people, etc.

Trump is reportedly considering throwing himself a farewell ceremony that would include military flourishes like a 21-gun salute.

A bunch of coworkers were talking about a trip to a bar for a celebratory drink. One of the coworkers was a model gorgeous new worker. I told her that it would be her turn to buy. She gave me a coy smile and said, "I never buy."
