RATES AT TRUMP’S DC HOTEL SPIKE DURING REPUBLICAN RETREAT IT’S HOSTING

https://www.citizensforethics.org/trump-hotel-rates-spike-republican-retreat/

The cost of a basic room at Trump’s DC Hotel is nearly three times its average rate on November 7th. Conspicuously, that’s the night between Senate Republicans’ two day retreat at Trump’s Hotel. Filling the hotel with a who’s who of Republican power players serves as an invitation for anyone looking to influence the government, and the hotel’s role as a hot spot for influence peddling has helped to make it one of the few bright spots in Trump’s financial portfolio. Since Trump never divested from his businesses when he became president, he stands to profit from the decision to host the Republican retreat at his hotel, and even more massively because of the spike in rates that evening.

“Premier” and “deluxe” rooms at the hotel—the least expensive rooms offered—cost $1,345 and $1,395, respectively, for the night of November 7th, according to searches performed on October 23rd, 25th and 28th. That’s nearly three times the average cost of the cheapest room available at the hotel, according to Google. Hotel rates are responsive to a number of factors, and it’s not uncommon for costs to fluctuate, but the contrast is stark between average rates and the rate on the night of November 7th.

How many more Never Trumpers will be allowed to testify about a perfectly appropriate phone call when all anyone has to do is READ THE TRANSCRIPT! I knew people were listening in on the call (why would I say something inappropriate?), which was fine with me, but why so many?
Why Trump? Because people have never witnessed a perfect phone call, and wanted to share in one of those moments.
 
Okay. A few days ago Trump tweeted a pic of the military working dog in the BagDaddy raid.

Okay, fine. You have the doggo vote, at least for this week.

Today he posted

I guess we weren't supposed to notice it's a photo shop? The earlier dog pic, and him at a real MOH ceremony?

Or care that there really are actual military medals for military dogs, not mockery of the actual Medal of Honor?

I mean, i realize he fired all his 'generals' but there are people in uniform around him all day. Someone in that building has to kniw what honoring the military, and the K9 corps actually looks like.
 
The shame will be when he demands the dog get fixed because the dog will end up testifying against him regarding the scandal behind Trump's decision to 'leave' Syria.

He's a real BAD dog!
 
Ivanka Trump (living breathing trademark of the Trump brand) decided to cite Thomas Jefferson today.
Ivanka Trump Tweet said:
“…surrounded by enemies and spies catching and perverting every word that falls from my lips or flows from my pen, and inventing where facts fail them.” -Thomas Jefferson’s reflections on Washington, D.C. in a letter to his daughter Martha.
Some things never change, dad!
Yeah... umm... Sen. Bentsen had a quip that could work here.
 
Recently A FLORIDA MAN tweeted
You can’t Impeach someone who hasn’t done anything wrong!

First off, that just isn't true. The first judge impeached was just in the wrong political party. The outgoing pres stuffed the benches.

Second, The whole point is the question whether FLORIDA MAN did do anything wrong. Kinda what 'investigation' means, even in Florida.

I agree with Trump but the inquiry isn’t about Barron.
 
Donald Trump, 4 November 2019, Lexington, KY.
“If you lose, it sends a really bad message...you can’t let that happen to me.”

Trump Tweet, 5 November, 2019:
#ElectionNight Won 5 out of 6 elections in Kentucky, including 5 great candidates that I spoke for and introduced last night. @MattBevin picked up at least 15 points in last days, but perhaps not enough (Fake News will blame Trump!). Winning in Mississippi Governor race!

So, if (R) wins, that's Trump's doing.
If (R) loses, that's nothing to do with Trump. Except that it's a message about Trump.
 
BreitBart article (my emphasis and redaction) said:
A RealClearInvestigations report by investigative journalist and author Paul Sperry named *redacted* as best fitting the description of the so-called whistleblower.
So they name the person as the whistleblower, but this is based off of looking at emails and trying to draw connections... as in... they don't know the person is the whistleblower.

As a reminder, there is no crime is exposing the ID of a whistleblower. You just need to be unethical as all heck in certain circumstances.

If it is done as a reprisal it is. But since Fredo may not actually know who it is he is probably safe. Stupid, but safe.
 
So Fredo tweeted out the name of a person claimed to be the whistle blower. I'm not surprised, the Royal Family (tm) clearly believes that no laws (including whistle-blower protection laws) apply to them.

I know. For a country that fought a revolutionary war under the alleged pretense of opposing tyrannical monarchs, a significant portion of your population seem to be in favour of lese majeste and hate the principles of the magna carta.

I doubt most Trump supporters could spell magna carta.

That's not American. Why should they care how it's spelled?
 
Today on, Did He Just Say That?!
Rep. Devin Nunes said:
I would remind my friends on the other side of the aisle that our first president, George Washington, directed his own diplomatic channels to secure a treaty with Great Britain. If my Democratic colleagues were around in 1794, they’d probably want to impeach him, too.
