Pay to play.

  1. Wow AAA...so no ethics rules were NOT violated because the people are private individuals?

    So the Secy of Commerce can receive Rolex watches from Wall Street firms because they are private individuals.

    The head of an agency can receive a free trip to a fishing cabin all expenses paid by a company they regulate because they are private individuals.

    When you try to justify every single thing he does no matter what you look really silly. I had a contract with the government years ago and had the ethics rules beaten into me so much I even trained others on them. I am telling actual law and you are crying about that they are private people?

  2. Serioisly...before he had to pay everytime he wanted to go to Florida and spend the weekend golfing or bring his family with him. He had to pay for all of his meals daily and transportation.

    Remember all the golf he said he was NOT going to play because he will be too busy....hahahahaha you are paying for way more golf than any other President and smiling about it..

    Now you pay for it via your taxes hahahahaahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaahah....and are happy about it hahahahahahahahah.

    Seems my blood pressure was being affected by some intestinal infection. All clear.

    While Vanny blocked me hoping to make me digging into his past tricky, I left him off my ignore list and this is the worst of me he digs up after working for hours.

    A WhatsApp message photo taken to ask my assistant (friend) if the top was something the youngest girl would wear and what size? I'm pure evil. Speaking of norms, it is actually rare here to see something in English that makes sense, even Colombia has a lot of imported Chinese stuff with bizarre English messages.

    So far the experience of Vanny trying to revenge himself:

    "assistants in Boston, NY, and DC."?

    Don't forget Rangoon and our secret volcano base inspired by the Incredibles.. Vanny, is this a tactic to blow stuff up or are you really sloppy?

    My "assistant" lives in Boston, has lived in NYC.

    What is clearly going on is Trump increased the number of political appointments for Ambassadors from about a third to a half and these are being sold.

    A CBS News investigation uncovers a possible pay-for-play scheme involving President Trump's ambassador nominee to the Bahamas. It raises questions about whether diplomatic posts are for sale. The Trump administration has appointed political supporters to key posts abroad in higher numbers than previous administrations. Jim Axelrod reports.

  5. Trump owns hotels. And some of the world's finest golf courses. He is entitled to have political events there. Get over it, there's no law against it. This is not the Clintons leasing out the Lincoln bedroom for favored donors. Or Biden intervening to stop investigations of the corrupt company paying off his son. Or Hillary selling access to the State Department.

    Its clear the AAA is not a golfer. "Worlds finest golf courses"...

    All promotion, no actual commitment to quality.

    I saw old KKKinthebeltway's car just now on the way back from the clinic. Envigado is Escobar's old neighbourhood. Now there is a man who knew pay-to-play and in many ways akin to Trump in his ability to play the poor as suckers using narcissistic charisma. Pablo like Trump could buy people's souls very cheap.

    But they are idiots, I understand to defend against them study is required and maybe some morbid fascination about their ugliness takes hold too.

    They have bad judgement, big mouths and if they hear there could be an acorn in the trough for them, they don't care anyway.

    Escobar was a shrewd man of the people who built his empire from nothing. He was also an actual strongman billionaire.

  10. Then why not offer market rates? you said Biden leased things to Secret Service probably at high rates. why did Trump charge his private people hotel rates well above the market....
