It wasn’t meant to be a joke. It was meant to cause the exact controversy it caused. His father is a small-time “activist” who wants to be a politician in the Middle East, and concocted this thing like Balloon Boy’s father did. They thought it was a bomb because it looked like every bomb you’ve seen in an action…

For example, just because your wife’s boss has clearence, that doesn’t mean her boss can illegally send that info to your wife and then she can illegally send it to you to illegally print.

Whatever. You just tell them you didn’t have intent to do whatever you did, and you walk. No matter how many times you did it, or how many steps you took to cover it up.

Yeah, his opponent should have won, so then we wouldn’t have to worry about someone spilling classified data.

On a day when people are cheering the Obama pardoning and release of Bradley/Chelsea Manning because he only committed treason under Bush, so that doesn’t count, my giving a fuck is really strained.

So if forcing them to change plans at greatly increased expense is ok, why the fuck did we need the ACA in the first place? All the sob stories about the people who didn’t have coverage never concluded with “But a huge percentage of that are people who could just suck it up and go buy some insurance.”

So you get to be the self-appointed arbiter if their plan is good or not? Complete bullshit. A lot of those people have good plans that they liked. And the way that the corridors were written, there were plenty of plans that were better than some of the permissible plans which got canceled, because it did not happen…

“People losing their plans is only a problem if it happens under Trump, but not under Obama.”

Hi, FBI. You might want to ask Chaos-Cascade what he is advocating.

No conservative commentator I can think of believes Trump to be a fiscal conservative.

Obama.

Bill and Hillary RENTED OUT ROOMS IN THE WHITEHOUSE LIKE A FUCKING HOTEL FOR POLITICAL DONATIONS.

When he hits 333 rounds, I’ll start caring.

I don’t like that Trump can use his role to jack up the fees at his resorts, but...

These fiscal conservatives sure to do spend a lot.

Don’t forget about his children all receive Secret Service details. His two sons went South America or something and cost the tax payers millions.

Here’s my issue with the “It’s a higher rate!” argument:

I’d bet those numbers are subject to 40 kinds of fuckery. An obvious one being that people used to complain about Bush being “On vacation” at his ranch, when he was having meetings with world leaders. Like the building the meeting is held in means it doesn’t count.

What does it say about former pres Obama that used one jet to fly the first lady and family out to Hawaii a few hours before the pres himself? Michelle couldn’t wait to fly with her husband? And this scenario played out a number of times over 8 years.

Is Trump actually billing staff at his properties as if they were private citizens staying their on vacation? I understand the opposition to this as a potential problem, but I’m not sure that it is actually happening.
