Surfer 1,547 Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) He mandated that the US Government would spend millions of Dollars at his Doral resort, in June, in Florida, when bookings tank because no-one in their right mind wants to go there in the middle of Hurrican season. Even if he didn't "make a profit" - although nobody is allowed to verify his company books - Doral would not be reporting its normal loss it incurs in June with this extra business. So of course he's financially benefiting. Just like every time he golfs at one of his resorts the US Government has to spend our money there as well. Just like he "suggested" VP Pence stay at his Irish resort on the other side of Ireland when visiting Dublin. Just like he "suggested" US Air Force crews stay at his Scottish resort when flying between Europe and US. Today he's ranting about the "so called emoluments" clause of the Constitution. There is more to come out. Edited October 21, 2019 by Surfer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) " POTUS would rather have a 24-hour news cycle with pundits criticizing (rightly so) his use of the word lynching than another 24 hours of the media discussing further testimony/evidence of how he manipulated foreign policy for his own political self-interest " Why the hysterical "Lynching " comments from the President and some of his Republican supporters?

The name was chosen by the boss of EnviroBuild, a sustainable building materials company, who paid $25,000 (£19,800) at an auction for the right. The small legless creature was found in Panama and EnviroBuild’s Aidan Bell said its ability to bury its head in the ground matched Donald Trump’s approach to global warming.

Surfer 1,547 Posted October 23, 2019 Meanwhile - Republican lawmakers (an oxymoron unless it means cutting taxes) and other allies have taken the Presidents plea to defend over the Ukraine investigation him to new lows. https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/23/impeachment-republicans-trump-055688 " Laura Cooper’s scheduled deposition has been upended by a group of House Republicans storming the hearing room, members say. Republicans took cellphones into the secure area, which is a huge violation. We’re told the room will need a security sweep before the deposition can continue " Laura Cooper is Department of Defense expert on Russia / Ukraine. She is expected to back up the testimony from the Acting Ambassador to Ukraine. Do they want the testimony stopped ? The session is occurring in a Secure (SCIF) Facility, so a major breach of security by these guys barging in - there are already Republican lawmakers in the room as they are on the Committee.  " Republicans tried to storm a Secure Classified Information Facility (SCIF) where TOP SECRET +++ information is stored & shared? ITS A TOP SECRET FACILITY RUN BY THE CIA/DOD & GUARDED BY TS/SCI CLEARED ARMED POLICE. This isn’t a joke anymore. Charge them with trespass. " This follows on the Republicans trying to censure Committee Chairman Adam Schiff on Monday - that predictably failed.    Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that the telephone call that we already have the transcript for? You have to admit it, Surfer. The US Democrats are as useless as Corbyn and the Labour Party.

In fact of the 30 who "stormed" the room in protest over "being excluded" , 14 sit on the respective committees... and several have been sitting in the sessions, so spare me the crocodile tears.
