1. Is it a grave side dinner?

[True Blue American]

7. Free visit to Ivana grave?

Michael Cohne said Trump paid no attention to her when alive and who would want to be buried next to the first hole, having golfers playing all over. Such a shabby thing from her wealthy kids when she raised them without help from him.

[cloudbase]

2. "PLEASE RSVP"

Really?

[Turbineguy]

10. Do they know

what a tautology is?

[Vinca]

3. If I had money to burn I'd recruit a bunch of people from here to dress up in

MAGA gear - complete with weaponry - and buy us all tickets. Maybe one of us could wear a Trump flag cape and one of the women could wear a Trump shirt with a "grab my pussy" arrow on it. Think they'd let us in?

[intrepidity]

4. Ew. nt

[Blue Owl]

5. Featuring Mr. Man-Toilet Matt Whitaker and his soggy junk

[RANDYWILDMAN]

6. Audit the F out of this super pac !!!!!!!!

Cause these people are having dinner with a known criminal

[Haggard Celine]

8. Reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet)

on Keeping Up Appearances. She was always inviting society people to one of her candlelight suppers.

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. People dreaded an invite to one of her suppers.

That show was so funny.

[Haggard Celine]

22. It was.

I haven't seen it in years, but I enjoyed every episode. I wonder if someone would be able to do an American version of that show. It would have to be somewhat different because our social classes are different than they are in Britain, but I think it could be done and it would be a hoot.

[leftyladyfrommo]

24. But where would they find an ensemble cast like that one?

They were all so good. All really veteran actors. They looked like real people. I just loved them.

[Haggard Celine]

25. They did look like regular people!

It was an excellent cast. You're right, it would be hard to find people like that over here, regular-looking Americans who are also great actors. It might not work after all.

[leftyladyfrommo]

28. When I watch American mysteries I always see actors

acting not very well. It's annoying.

But British mysteries use real professional character actors. I can watch them and get completely lost in their characters.

I do think American mysteries used to be better because I used to really enjoy them.

[Effete Snob]

9. .

[MANative]

11. "Candlelight" - cuz they haven't paid the electric bill

And that means McDonald's take-out. Damned expensive for a Big Mac!!

[leftyladyfrommo]

17. Big Macs for everyone. That was so embarrassing.

Didn't he do that for some football team. Invited them to lunch at the WH and then had a whole table full of McDonald's junk food.

[Maraya1969]

20. He did it more than once. It was embarrassing just to be an American and watch that.

Tables filled with Big Max's and Quarter Pounders. I think they were for some athletic teams. I don't think he would dare do that for any of HIS people.

[crickets]

12. Still pretending to be president.

Still grifting on the office, which he will do until the day he no longer breathes. Pathetic and disgusting.

[doc03]

13. One thing for sure there won't be many MAGA cap morons there nt

[SWBTATTReg]

14. Another scam...

[rsdsharp]

15. It would have to be a dark room for me to even think

about watching that asshole shovel well burnt steak slathered in ketchup into his gob! That said, $100,000 seems to be about the right fee. Make sure you spell my name right on the “Pay to the order of” line.

[FoxNewsSucks]

18. Pam Bondi is still around???

[Maraya1969]

23. Yea, and why are they calling her "The honorable"

She is not a judge. She was the AG for Florida long enough to take a donation from Trump and toss one of his investigations into the toilet for it.

(I didn't realize how long this was going to be when I started copying it. But it's good to get a feel as to how it all went down. Trump is such a criminal!)

Here is some information from CREW - "In March 2016, CREW discovered that the Trump Foundation had broken the law by giving an illegal $25,000 contribution to a political group supporting Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi. Charitable foundations like the Trump Foundation are not allowed to engage in politics. Even more problematic was the fact that the contribution was given as Bondi’s office was deciding whether to take legal action related to Trump University. This would set off an investigation which would lead to one of the biggest stories of the year. Here’s how it went down:

Aug 01, 2013
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman files lawsuit against Donald Trump, The Trump Entrepreneur Institute aka Trump University and the former president of Trump University for “engaging in persistent fraudulent, illegal and deceptive conduct.”

Sep 13, 2013
The Orlando Sentinel reports that OAG told them, “We are currently reviewing the allegations” in the NY lawsuit. A few days later, OAG tells thePalm Beach Post the same thing.

Sep 17, 2013
The Donald J. Trump Foundation makes a $25,000 contribution to And Justice for All, a political group backing Bondi. The donation, illegal for a 501(c)(3) private foundation to give, was personally solicited by Bondi from Trump.
Oct 15, 2013
According to documents turned over in response to a CREW public records request, OAG told reporters that “there was no consideration of whether to join [the New York lawsuit]. In light of the fact that the Attorney General’s Office received only one consumer complaint 2.5 years ago, there is no investigation at this time.”


Oct 17, 2013
The Tampa Bay Times reports that And Justice for All acknowledged receiving the contribution from the Trump Foundation.

Oct 18, 2013
Despite previously acknowledging the 22 complaints (sometimes 23 due to a duplicate record) to reporters, internal emails show that between October 17-18, 2013, OAG employees weeded out any complaint about Trump Institute and related entities to claim there was only one complaint against Trump University.

Jan 01, 2014
In its 2013 taxes, the Trump Foundation claims it made no donations to political entities and replaces And Justice for All with a different, similarly named group in Kansas to which they would legally be allowed to donate.

Mar 21, 2016
CREW files complaint against Trump Foundation

Mar 22, 2016
Trump representatives admit to the illegal donation, blaming an increasing series of clerical errors.


May 17, 2016
CREW executive director Noah Bookbinder writes an op-ed in the Tampa Bay Times summarizing some of the troubling findings in the Trump Foundation’s 990 forms.

Jun 06, 2016
Bondi’s spokesman tells the AP that the Attorney General was unaware of the 20+ complaints against Trump entities when she solicited the donation.

Jun 07, 2016
Bondi tells the Tampa Bay Times “I was never, nor was my office, investigating him. Never. I would never lie. I would never take money. I’ve been obviously devastated over this.”


Jul 06, 2016
CREW files complaints against Bondi with the Inspector General for Florida’s Office of the Attorney General and the state’s Commission on Ethics for potentially violating the law by failing to investigate or take legal action regarding complaints against Trump University and related entities after an affiliated political organization received a contribution from the Trump Foundation.

Aug 08, 2016
CREW files an IRS complaint against the Trump Foundation for acting as a prop for the Trump campaign through its engagement in Trump Campaign events, including payments to groups that came to campaign rallies.

Sep 01, 2016
Following CREW’s discovery that the Trump Foundation did not file an updated 990 tax form, the Washington Post discovered a $2,500 IRS penalty paid by the Foundation for the illegal donation, kicking off one of the biggest stories of the year.

Sep 07, 2016
CREW files a second IRS complaint against Donald Trump and the Trump Foundation for the donation supporting Bondi. The complaint called for an investigation into whether the donation was used to provide a private benefit to Trump and his business interests by attempting to discourage Bondi and her office from investigating Trump University. The complaint also calls for an investigation into Trump for engaging in prohibited self-dealing.


Sep 13, 2016
CREW files criminal bribery complaints against Trump and Bondi with the Department of Justice and calls for a criminal investigation into whether the Trump Foundation broke federal criminal law by making numerous false reports to the IRS on its tax forms.

Sep 14, 2016
CREW files a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request with the New York Attorney General for Trump Foundation tax documents, as well as documents relating to the New York Attorney General’s investigation of the Trump Foundation.

Sep 21, 2016
CREW files its third IRS complaint against Donald Trump after it appears that he repeatedly broke the law by using the Trump Foundation for his personal benefit, calling for an investigation into multiple acts of self-dealing by Trump and into the Foundation for violating the tax code by making multiple payments and grants for the private benefit of Trump and his business interests.



Oct 19, 2016
The NY AG office responds to CREW’s FOIL request, and CREW discovers that not only did the Foundation’s attempts to address its tax issues stemming from the Bondi donation contain serious errors, they also presented materials to the Attorney General that raise significant questions about how they operate and the veracity of their previous claims.

Dec 24, 2016
Trump announced he will shut down the Trump Foundation in the light of the growing scandal. CREW released a statement in response to the announcement.

19. ...and photo opportunity!

[They_Live]

21. Shouldn't it be

"Trump INTERNATIONAL Golf Club Bedminster"?

[lindysalsagal]

26. Do these fools think he'll be potus, again? Otherwise, what's the point?

Influence for business? He's a conman and a failure. I don't get it. Probably no one shows.

[machoneman]

27. Odd to see this invite now. Generally, hi-zoot events like this only send invites to known..

..big $ supporters as many do not want the publicity of attending. I used to work for a firm where the Board was in lock step with R policies and sent tons of dollars to R-backed organizations. But, they did so quietly as they were concerned as a publicly traded Fortune 1000 company it would look bad. Go figure! They would not be caught dead attending such a meeting in person with their wives.

Guess TFG is really hurting for cash.

[fierywoman]

29. May this scam be as successful as the one where Mel tried to sell the white hat.

[Buns_of_Fire]

30. Prime burial spots on the back nine are still available! nt

31. Please leave your soul at the door. nt
