$50,000.00 plate dinner on Shut Down Day 2018

[gotsnowgotslush]

$100,000-per-couple party at Mar-a-Largo on Saturday

"The $100,000-per-couple tickets buy a photo op and dinner, according to Bloomberg, and $250,000 buys access to a roundtable chat with the night’s honoree."

Proceeds will be split between the R.N.C. and Trump’s re-election committee.

Saturday marks the one-year anniversary of the Trump presidency.


About 100 people are expected for the Saturday fundraiser, which is being held in connection with the Republican National Committee, and many donors have begun arriving for it, people familiar with the event said.

Congress could give a fuck about the shutdown, because they will get paid.


Congress: Federal law ensures members of Congress continue to receive their paychecks.

Republicans in charge of both houses of Congress and the White House, yet unable to reach agreement on spending priorities without help from Democrats — some of whom want a deal to settle the fate of immigrant children known as dreamers.

(Republicans are pitting one group of children against another group of children- Children that need health care, and children that want to stay in America, where they grew up.)


If a shutdown plays out like the last one in 2013, more than 850,000 federal employees could face unpaid furloughs. They could eventually get back pay, though it would be up to Congress to make that happen.


Trump and the Republicans, who control all levers of government, faced the possibility of a shutdown on the first anniversary of his inauguration. According to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, Americans by a 20-point margin blame Trump and the GOP over Democrats if the government closes.


As senators awaited news about possible votes, the White House delayed Trump’s departure for his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. The president had intended to leave Washington late Friday afternoon ahead of a lavish celebration of his first year in office that is planned for Saturday night.

January 20th, 2017 - President Trump is inaugurated.

January 20th, 2018 - Federal government goes bankrupt.

It's default time.

Tromp is experienced there.

But DeutscheBank won't provide a bailout.

Sad.

The U.S. is slowly but surely going bust. The day of reckoning is coming. It's a slippery slope; like all incremental change, it's all but impossible to recognize while you're in the midst of it.

But in the immortal words of Herb Stein:

"If something can't go on forever,

it won't."​

Trump privately fumed about missing ‘my party’ if the government shuts down: report


19 JAN 2018


Donald Trump spent the lead-up to the nearly-guaranteed government shutdown privately fuming about the prospect of missing his year anniversary party at Mar-a-Lago, the Daily Beast reports.

Not shocking news, but a bit of color: GOP source tells me Trump is furious about the shutdown, which is messing up his anniversary and keeping him from going to Mar-a-Lago for his party.

On Capitol Hill, lawmakers have reached a deal on a $1.3 trillion spending bill that would see a record expansion of the U.S. military—while failing to provide relief to immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. If approved ahead of a deadline at the end of Friday, the measure would avert a third government shutdown this year. The bill does not address the DACA program, which gives hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants legal permission to live and work in the United States. President Trump tried to cancel DACA last year, although he has repeatedly been blocked from doing so by the courts.

2,232-page omnibus spending bill Congress must approve by Friday in order to avoid another government shutdown: military spending, increased funding for the Internal Revenue Service, a barely-anything gun safety measure, money for border walls and ICE (with conditions). Democrats are frustrated the bill brought no answers for DREAMers, but are likely to support it anyway.

You skipped February 9th. The government was unfunded for nine hours.

Three imminent shutdowns - one for each month in 2018. What financial wizards we have in high office.

Is this about another one of those "donations" black tie fundraising dinners where a minimum of $500 or more is "required".? Reminds me of a time about 15 yrs ago where I was contacted via phone by an "anonymous" caller assuming I was a registered member of their little club.

I was like, "If I could afford $500 I damned sure wouldn't be wasting it there!" - Never contacted me again.

However, since my vote was already in, not much I could do to change it. After some research, my support swayed to the opposition in the next few local elections.

Tromp hires only The Best. Then he fires them a little later, replacing them with more of The Best until they flee or are fired also. To be among The Best, actual qualifications and experience are irrelevant. Look good on FauxNewz and you've got a high-level White House job waiting for you. Till Mueller hits.

(Some Pentagon folks are saying, "If these are the best then we're fucked.")

Is unmasking Gups as total fucking retards Tromp's game? It's working.

I must have missed that. Do you have the videotape or a link to it?

 

[Hypoxia]

I wouldn't have missed that for the world. Do you want a copy of the videotape, or a link to it?

Above my pay grade. Turn all evidence over to the Mueller investigation.

I don't have any evidence. Since you described the scene, I thought you might have a videotape or something. Or are you just talking out of your ass?
