A million dollars. Here’s what you get for a million dollars on January 21st.
It’s set up as a Texas non-profit and claims the “net proceeds will be donated to conservation charities.” You mean all $58.72 of net proceeds after the Trump family skims all they can off the top?
(1) This is not the only option to this “camouflage and cufflinks” event. There’s more.
(2) We will never know who donated.
(3) The Trump family is making out like bandits. Wait, they are bandits.
Mygawd! I’m lucky! I don’t have a million dollars to throw onto a manure pile and even if I did, what they are offering wouldn’t inspire me in the least! I’ve seen galas like this over the years and always wondered about the who, how, why, when, where and the hidden!
1Let’s start making donations in the name of the Clinton Foundation, Hillary, Nancy Pelosi… and post it on some conspiracy sites. Kind of like throwing one fish into a flock of gulls.
2Well, they cancelled the Coffee with Ivanka auction, so they had to come up with Plan B. By the way, did y’all notice that Donnie said he didn’t need intelligence briefings every day for the next 8 years? EIGHT YEARS? He’s already run for re-election and won?
3Grifters gotta grift, grift, grift. (With NO apologies to Taylor Swift.)
4Pay-To-Play, still illegal but now socially acceptable.
5They would have to PAY ME a million dollars to sit through that.
6‘Scuse me. I have to scrape something stinky and smelly off me. It came from that link. I’m going to have to take a hot shower with strong soap. Phewwww!!!
7“Bald Eagle”
8No way to talk about their father without his comb over.
So, I went to the doctor today for bronchitis. I had to fill out all sorts of paperwork because (1) I am now officially “elderly” – well actually at 70, I am 6 years past “elderly” and (2) I have some opiod prescriptions that must be accounted for annually. One of the questions was if I have/had any life issues with stress lately – of course, I answered yes and noted that it is related to political issues. My doctor laughed and told me that she has had numerous patients lately who are also stressed by the same issues this year 🙂 Sad, isn’t it?
9What? They’re not going to go out hunting to shoot bald eagles?
10The Brothers Trump
all balls, no brains.
THEY are the pay to play pimps for the incoming administration.
They are so shallow they are entertained by killing beautiful
endangered animals. What can we expect from the Sons of a
Sociopath?
Will they wear those silly grins when daddy has to endure
impeachment proceedings in the U S House of Rep?
Are Ivanka and Jared any better? No
Barron already loves to dress like daddy, not like a regular 4th grader.
Will they gold plate the W H residence? They have a mere 100K budget for the task, plus their own dough.
11At least W had the decency to wait until after his presidency ended to “restock the family coffers.” Not these guys – their coffers will only grow during Trump’s term in office. Read an article that the Chinese are having difficulty understanding Trump. Hint: Follow the money.
12That’s why the religious right likes Trump, he is just like them…… yells donate to us as we are helping charity, skims most of it off the top. and gives a few pennies to the poor! Will trump be like religion and NOT prove his donations or like real charities that have to show the books?
13Fierywoman: Bald eagles would be unpatriotic to the point of blasphemy. But I bet their French chefs have a mean spotted owl recipe.
14Sigh. Like we couldn’t see THIS coming.
Drumpf accused Clinton of doing this so OF COURSE he’s doing it.
Lessee: Donald J. Drumpf. The J. stands for “Justification: I made up stuff she did so I get to do it” right?
15Of course right.
I’m sure there will be a big rush for Ted Nugent autographed guitars.
(Well, thinking about that certainly ruined my breakfast.)
16Sooo, Politico broke a story yesterday around 5:00p.m. eastern. Apparently Eric and Donnie Jr. Are now trying to distance themselves from this boondoggle. They were just floating ideas evidently. You know, spitballing. Sounds like they really believe they’re entitled to this kind of decision making, and are finding out how full of sh*t they are.
17P.P., those morons never quit. That, after their little Sis Ivanka was pimped out for “coffee.”
Let’s have some fun with the little punter from Bang ’em Young, Chaffetz. How about a Congressional Committee on the grifting Drumpf clan?
18@J&PKM
I had to research on the interweb. It is JUST coffee with Ivanka.
19Hey, they pimped out their sister. Why not their father??
20Personally, I think there are a lot of Republicans probably thinking that they can’t wait to impeach Donald and then get a real Republican and establishment working President in Pence. Sigh.
Donald and his kids are going to make it so easy for them.
Actually, it would not surprise me at all that the hunting trip would be to shoot Bald Eagles…these are not hunters with ethics after all.
21Yeah, what Star said! The Trump boys are not hunters at all. They are shooters, which is something entirely different.
22Here’s a refreshing antidote for y’all. Every inauguration year, tickets to the event are published with the president-elect’s picture on it. Not this year – they are unadorned. Issuers said that it’s because Trump didn’t provide permission. Whatever. I still hope a lot of attendees turn their backs when the motorcade passes.
23J&PKM: Or email Trey Gowdy that Donnie’s got thousands of secret emails between Putin and himself.
24Micr, say wot? $80,000 coffee doesn’t come with a happy ending? Not even whipped cream and sprinkles?
25J&PKM
Yeah I misunderstood the quid pro quo. I thought Ivanka was negotiating in a bull market. So to speak.
26And I thought we had hit bottom when W. was selected.
