That’s four and a half protected trips a day, yikes.
It isn’t just the number of trips and the amount of money they cost the Secret Service - what makes this truly a scandal is the purpose behind so many of the trips:
CREW has uncovered the Secret Service costs for several Trump family business trips that help to piece together the tab that the Trump family has accumulated with taxpayers. In February 2017, Eric and Don Jr. flew to Dubai to open a Trump-branded golf club, which cost the Secret Service more than $200,000. The same month, Eric flew to the Dominican Republic to potentially relaunch a failed Trump-branded resort project, which cost $20,000. Eric Trump has visited Uruguay twice for Trump Organization business, costing taxpayers $97,830 in 2017,and $80,786 in 2019. And those are just the receipts we have obtained so far. What we do know is that the President’s frequent trips to Trump branded properties put taxpayer money directly into the coffers of the Trump Organization.
Yeah, if only we had had some way of knowing that the entire purpose of the DJT run for president was to feed his insatiable narcissistic urges and to steal money from the treasury. If. Only.

Michael Caputo: “There is no Russian collusion on the Trump campaign. There never was and I don’t think the Mueller team has anything.” https://t.co/fePVUxpgQl

Oh. But your texts, Michael.

Later, Stone got a text message from Michael Caputo, a Trump campaign communications official who’d arranged the meeting after Greenberg had approached Caputo’s Russian-immigrant business partner
Why? Because he’s now spokesman for HHS, of course:

You know, people were talking about how Biden needed a good slogan for his Presidential Campaign. I think that works pretty well:
Biden 2020: It would be good to have someone who isn’t a complete moron as President

Surely if we squeeze the dried husk of the working class we can wring a couple more drops from it.
Fucking psychopaths. There’s a lot of lampposts around if they push things too far.
I guess the top earners need more tax breaks so they can pay for their luxury bunkers.
They don’t even try to hide their greed and their contempt for the working class. Yet somehow a sizable portion of the working class supports them. Because guns, saving fetuses, 'Murica, and hatred for the competing team of Libtards, I guess.
Also because their big break is just around the corner and then they’ll be rich too. Also, they’ll have class, like Trump.
A golden shitter in every house!
But who’s going to be the j’kar in the Trump admin?

Flounder needs a haircut.
My favorite shot in the entire series, though it’s even better when you see him nervously look around first to see if anyone is watching.

I think this is separate from the Deutsche Bank subpoena that is now before the Supreme Court. It’s just a letter from four Senators, requesting information.
I’m not too surprised that DB won’t comply until ordered by a court. They need some sort of legal cover before turning the records over, otherwise they risk breaking various bank privacy laws. Mazar’s (who has a copy of the Trump tax returns and said they are willing to turn them over to a court) is basically in the same situation.
