Ha! I heard about that on the latest Simmons podcast.
Simmons, a huge left wing person, was really hammering Trump and rightly so. However, I said aloud, "Ease up there Simmons. Your boy Obama said there were 57 states and I don't remember you hammering him for it."
It's funny because someone on the Twitters had posted Saturday something along the lines of "Tomorrow most Americans are going to learn that Kansas City isn't in Kansas."

Right. That always confused me as a kid.
You never let go...

I have a pretty good long term memory, but I also actively try not to let go. We learn from our mistakes, and if we forget them we're doomed to repeat them.
Imagine if people intentionally forgot the lessons of history. Hell, they might even think socialism is a good idea again!
(Plus, if I'm being completely honest, it's fun to point out people's hypocrisy.)
I also don't think it's fair or honest to judge one _________ without judging other ________ in the same way.

I'm still waiting for George W. Bush to bring back the draft so he could invade Iran, like my mother's husband angrily told me he was going to do, with complete certainty.

No, but seriously, they're ALL fucking children.
They're all an embarrassment and so are all the people who blindly follow them because there's a certain letter behind their name.

I've noticed their push there too. Hell, even if they don't get the vote and just get them to not vote for the Dem, it's a win for them.
Been seeing funny lines about Pelosi ripping up the speech, but this wins, imho:

Well, guilty or not, that was a tremendous waste of time and money.

Now that it's over, can we find out if Biden's son got a job in the Ukraine as a bribe?

And he's trending down and getting worse.... I bet Hunter Biden goes back to his sweet consulting gig soon and everyone forgets about it.
Unless Hillary Clinton decides otherwise.

You're such a Trump hater. I saw on the internet that what Pelosi did was illegal, so it must be true! Or are you saying random people on Twitter don't know the law?!TheCatt wrote: Seriously, why is such a moron President?

Taxpayers pay a lot of money to Trump's properties: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics ... story.html
President Trump’s company charges the Secret Service for the rooms agents use while protecting him at his luxury properties — billing U.S. taxpayers at rates as high as $650 per night, according to federal records and people who have seen receipts.
Those charges, compiled here for the first time, show that Trump has an unprecedented — and largely hidden — business relationship with his own government. When Trump visits his clubs in Palm Beach, Fla., and Bedminster, N.J., the service needs space to post guards and store equipment.
Trump’s company says it charges only minimal fees. But Secret Service records do not show that.
At Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club, the Secret Service was charged the $650 rate dozens of times in 2017, and a different rate, $396.15, dozens more times in 2018, according to documents from Trump’s visits.
And at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, the Secret Service was charged $17,000 a month to use a three-bedroom cottage on the property, an unusually high rent for homes in that area, according to receipts from 2017. Trump’s company billed the government even for days when Trump wasn’t there.
These payments appear to contradict the Trump Organization’s own statements about what it charges members of his government entourage. “If my father travels, they stay at our properties for free — meaning, like, cost for housekeeping,” Trump’s son Eric said in a Yahoo Finance interview last year.
“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done,” Trump told the Hill in a June 2015 interview. “I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.”
But since taking office, Trump has spent more than 342 days — a third of his entire presidency — at his private clubs and hotels, according to a tally by The Post. Trump has said he works during these trips.

But, but...he doesn't take a salary!
None of this is shocking. Billionaires don't stay billionaires by spending money all willy nilly.
On a related note, I've always been bothered that nobody cares how often someone takes office and leaves it far, far richer than the salary would make them.
