And gosh darn it, it sure feels good to be able just pop the freakin cork every weekend, and blow a lot of our tax money on a self-proclaimed billionaire republican Tax-&-Draft Dodging Casino Sharpie Comrade like Don the Con who really knows how to grab for the gusto. He's the ultimate republican "family values" role model.

Imagine if someone had managed to worm their way toa top corporate position by fraud, deception and criminality they sure would have a different view.

(2,108 posts)Does his entire entourage stay and eat at MAL? Does he bill them at regular rates?
I'd love to know how much extra he earns every time he brings his road show to a Trump property.
And I can't believe this isn't illegal ~
