Let’s Talk Sacrifice With a Member of the Trump Family
Do you know who Lara Trump is? That’s Eric’s wife. She’s married to the Alfredo of the Trump Crime Family, which is some social circles is … oh hell, it’s laughable in any damn social circle.
So, Lara reaches out the federal workers who have jobs but no paycheck. She tells them to quit damn whining.
“We get that this is unfair to you, but this is so much bigger than any one person. It is a little bit of pain, but it’s going to be for the future of our country and their children and their grandchildren and generations after that will thank them for their sacrifice right now.”
Yeah, a woman in a pair of $4,000 shoes telling a Coast Guard wife that having no food, rent, diapers, or money to fill her gas tank that she is making a “small sacrifice,” probably won’t work. It’ll probably just piss them off.
Honey, Honey, Honey, this is not bigger than one person. It is exactly the size of one person. And although that person is small and petty, the sacrifice others are making is huge. So, shuddup, you patronizing privileged punk.
Aw, don’t be so hard on the girl. Look at how she had to sacrifice her dignity to marry Doofus, just to get her hands on the big buck$$$.
I mean, seriously, it’s a real case of close your eyes abs think of the bank account.
I’m not sure I would have the strength to make a sacrifice like hers. (Shudders)

2I doubt Samantha Bee would object to calling this little piece of work a “feckless cunt”.
3Oh, that oughta help Benedict Donald’s poll numbers. Keep talkin’, Sweetie!
4Another poster girl for “bring back the death tax” on inherited wealth.
5Linda Phipps@ 3
Can those words be conspicuously tattooed somewhere on Lara?
6Lara left out the part about letting them eat cake.
7“Let’s Talk Sacrifice With a Member of the Trump Family”
… too late.
It’s shaping up to be time for sacrificing many members of the Trump crime family beginning with Dotard45. Metaphorically speaking, a drowning in the Rule(s) of Law they love to flaunt.

I can think of other members of the Trump family I’d sooner see sacrified than Lara, but I guess ya gotta start somewhere.
By the way, I’m not sure if there’s a preferred method on the table, but we’ve got a volcano out here in Hawaii that’s available.
9What would the filthy rich 1% know about sacrifice? They are clueless. They’ve never lived “the life” of the average citizen who has less than 1K saved and lives from paycheck to paycheck working two or three jobs, worrying that they will end up living in their car. Lara, Ivanka, the Mnuchins’ Ross’, McConnell’s, Ryan’s and the rest are so far removed from the rest of us.
@Rick #9 – The French in 1789 had some ideas about that. However, I don’t think they’d have decribed it as an act of sacrifice.
10I’m trying to stifle my reactions, all similar to Samantha Bee’s imagined response, and limit my suggestion to chaining this idiot to the distribution line for some much-needed food and supplies, with the stipulation that she also has to listen to how Trump’s shutdown is hurting each and every one of the families that comes through the line. I’m trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that she may be simply ignorant and not a complete idiot.
11I would say she sacrificed her soul but it doesn’t appear she ever had one.
12Not to be outdone by Lara or Rudy G in the place foot in fat mouth race, Dotard45 has covfefe confused SoTU with STFU. Don’t look now Donnie, but Speaker Pelosi is about to tramp stamp your all too ample derriere with some she ‘splainin. Dog knows an average rearview mirror won’t provide you with a view around your gut to your a$$ to read what she tattooed on you with her practical pump, so here’s a hint: STFU.
13Marie Antoinette didn’t understand why the street rioters were asking for bread. “Why aren’t they asking for cake?”
Those were the good old days.
14Erin has an uncanny resemblance of “The Brat in the Hat”.
15Moderator, could you correct “Erin” to “Eric”.
16Just read Nancy’s note to the POS. Eloquent simplicity. Who’d a thunk “F. U. Alpha Hotel” could sound so corfial?
17Before the French Revolution, inflation was so high due to frivolous royal spending that a loaf of bread cost 90% of a man’s wage. When Marie Antoinette was told the people couldn’t afford bread, and she suggested they eat cake instead, no wonder the people lost their minds and killed off he royals and other rich folks. This has happened frequently in so called civilized society – from Rome in 90 BC, to Russia in 1918. The 1%ers would do well to review history.
18With air traffic controllers not getting paid maybe it is time to cut off the free loaders on the system.
19Right now private/ corporate planes pay no fees for air traffic control ( thank newtie and his mid 90’s budget for that gift to his paymasters)
So I would like to see the air traffic control system for commercial flights only ( the ones that pay full weight including free loaders costs).
Ground any private or corporate planes from US air space until shut down is over. No exceptions.
This includes inhofe’s toy that he uses irresposably.
After all if they own a private plane they should pay the cost of the air traffic control system they use.
Right now these free loaders do not have to go through security lines or have baggage inspected so they could care less if the TSA workers disappear they never deal with them any way.
With demented donnies saber rattleing towards venezuela I wonder if even he would be so stupid as to order another invasion and conquest with support from the USCG while they are not even getting paid??
I also would like to see the US military obey the UCMJ and refuse to obey such a flagrently illegal order or if they will continue to betray their oaths, their history and their country by counting on the nuremberg defense to protect them from prosecution as war criminals.
Ever since the invasion and conquest of Iraq the military has shown a clear lack of honor or duty just blind obedience and continue to disgrace their uniform and the country by their dog like slavish devotion to der leader.
20Anybody got any idea what kinda tramp stamp Lara has?
21“I’ve got a little list. They’ll never be missed.”
22This would be stupid if it weren’t so effing pitiful!
23K @19, Very good points about how private aviation gets a free ride in our air traffic control system.
I’m OK with the little guys with the single-engined Cessnas and Pipers maybe paying a nominal ATC annual fee, even the ones with light twins. But the much more (airtime) active corporate and biz jet types need to pay some hefty fees commensurate with their relatively heavy usage of these public resources.
A related area that should be at least partially funded by commercial aviation are the extensive aviation weather forecasting services provided by NOAA. A very significant portion of NOAA’s budget is allocated to aviation, it is absolutely essential to safe flight, but none of the costs are actually borne by the aviation industry. Instead, we the public, the taxpayers, pay for it all while they get a free flight.
Now let’s discuss the freeloading scumsucking vampires of ‘professional sports’. All of them. The already quite wealthy owners, players, and staff, who are continually expecting average taxpayers to gift them new stadiums and arenas, and tons of infrastructure around them. All the while getting very sweet sweetheart deals on operating those sports palaces, while the taxpayers get shafted again.
24And we may as well throw in many high school and college teams too. Yeah, even high schools are erecting multi-million dollar sports edifices.
(Yeah, the usual San Antonio politicians and owner PR types are busy chatting up some more dogdamned stadiums up there. The main reason I will not spend a nickel more than I absolutely have to in ‘the city’. I put some effort into shopping tax-free online for everything I can find there, or locally in small town stores.)
Now back on topic, the ex and I’s own Coasties, our youngest daughter and SiL, are coming up on their second payless US Coast Guard payday.
They’re getting pinched, nowhere near as bad as some though. They had a PCS last summer, and are renting a nice Floriduh home now. But without that nice BAH ‘living on the economy’ housing allotment to cover the rent and utilities it is getting tight providing for the grandkids.

Thank you K #19 for that little gem. Add that to the list of things to do away with … in the overall scheme it’s not a lot, but imagine how many groceries it could buy for federal employees.
26What’s funny is that Marie-Antoinette probably did NOT say ‘let them eat cake’, but DID say, “It is quite certain that in seeing the people who treat us so well despite their own misfortune, we are more obliged than ever to work hard for their happiness.”
But then, there is every indication that the folks in America’s Premier Crime Family never have ready (non-fake) history.
27Ya know, if Ivanka was worth it I would actually gin up enough energy to find a crocodile just to see if it could cry.

“I’m OK with the little guys with the single-engined Cessnas and Pipers maybe paying a nominal ATC annual fee, even the ones with light twins.”
Gee does that mean that you feel it is alright if “the little guys” who own Porsches or Jag’s shouldn’t have to pay road taxes? Same thing
Or
People with starter castles should get a free ride on property taxes.
or maybe people who own small boats should get free moorage from public marinas (actually that one I could support having owned old wooden sailboats i.e.1944 27′ Blanchard Sr.)
If some one can afford an expensive and oustentious toy like a private plane why should they be subsidized? So some poor commercial passenger should continue to underwrite the expense of some one who owns their own airplane?
Most “county” small municipal airports are paid for by taxes from local population very few of which own these expensive toys. Planes flying in and out pay either nothing or a nominal symbolic amount. In many cases they do not even pay landing fees if they do not spend overnight or buy fuel at smaller municipal airports. So a free ride all along for those symbols of excess – private planes. Toys like private planes need subsidies that is the mantra of those who ignore any of the other needs we have because we must bestow our generousity upon those who own expensive toys.
Not to mention pollution. Last I checked the small prop jobs have a waiver to poison us all with leaded fuel. So besides allowing the “little guys with the single-engined Cessnas and Pipers” to poison our atmosphere we should continue too pay them to do so?
Paying for Air traffic control is a “cost” of owning an airplane ( or should be) just like fuel, maintence, and other inherent costs. Can’t afford it them sell the toy and rent for occassional joyrides.
29Someone should check Wilbur’s pulse because he’s only in charge of our country’s commerce department. Look at his video again because he looks like a puppet where the wooden head doesn’t move except for the lower jaw up and down. Imagine him negotiating for our country in important commerce negotiations. Is this a bad dream or what?
