That's what Republicans do. They sit on their hemorrhoidal asses and point their shit stained finger accusing Democrats of doing what they're doing!

Every time he went to one of his golf courses too.

He spent an entire military budget on himself while in office.

Yet Republicans still revere this guy! He's always been a grifter and either they don't care or they don't know (because they never hear these kinds of stories on Fox News)!

He unleashed their racism and told them it's perfectly acceptable to hate loudly and proudly. He has their loyalty forever. The ONLY thing that would make them turn against him is if he'd suddenly become woke. And that's about as likely as me winning the lottery - I don't even play.

My theory about the deplorables is that they've always been among us but we Dems (socially conscious people that we tend to be) have made it socially unacceptable to be racist in public. So they've been pissed off for decades that they can't express their racism loudly without being forcefully condemned for it. He turned that around. He made it acceptable. He validated them. He told them their hate is OK. There's no way to stop the loyalty produced by that kind of validation.

As a former president, TFG has a full time Secret Service detail guarding his fat ass. Of course they will be staying at his hotel, eating at his restaurant, and driving his golf carts, all of which will be charged to the taxpayers at an exorbitant rate. We'll probably pay the greens fees for every round of golf he plays and every dinner guest he hosts. And since he no longer has use of a military aircraft, he'll have to charter a private jet, and we'll pay for the seats the agents use -- coach seats billed at first class rates.

I still can't believe that so many people support him.

It's an aging model, with obsolete Rolls-Royce engines. To make matters worse, Drumpf let it sit at an upstate NY airport for several years outdoors, maybe because he's too damn cheap to rent the hangar space. So it's in terrible shape. But then this past year, he comes out with a fundraising appeal to get this white elephant repainted and fixed.

That's exactly why these mass shootings will only continue to get worse - these assholes just plain don't give a shit about the victims.

Ugh, the post interview he did with Mel sitting there with him
within a big circle of LV police officers and I guess some
other officials; was just awkward as anything and
he had his branded jet parked at the hotel as I recall
at least I recall it was perfectly front and center piece
part of his scene there. Foreign. Flag. Forlorn.
