Is Taco Bell available?
The reaction was too much even for “President” Shameless: Doral’s off.
Responding to stinging criticism, President Donald Trump has abruptly reversed his plan to hold the next year’s Group of Seven world leaders’ meeting at his Doral golf resort in Florida.
“I think he knows,” his acting chief of staff said Sunday, “people think it looks lousy.”
Think? Mulvaney thinks he knows? How could he possibly not know? Are they holding him in an empty room and feeding him only the information they want him to have?
And people think it looks lousy? It’s not a matter of opinion and it’s not an appearance – we know for sure it is lousy, very lousy indeed. Also bedbuggy and mosquitoey.
“Based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020,” Trump tweeted.
Ah what a hardened liar he is. If he really thought it was just crazed irrational hostility from Enemies on the Left he wouldn’t have ditched it.
Mulvaney on Sunday claimed that Trump was “honestly surprised at the level of pushback” after the Doral announcement.
Well, chum, that’s because he’s stupid, and corrupt, and mind-blind, and narcissistic. That’s your boss: the guy who can’t comprehend any opinion or view of the world other than his own.
What do bedbuddies have to do with any of this? That’s people’s personal business.
Not directly related, but I have to point out that Mick Mulvaney and with many other cabinet appointees are “acting” even though Republicans *have control of the Senate* and could confirm them all in up-or-down votes next week.
What’s up with that?
Just part of Trump’s general power-madness and wreck the place nihilism. “Acting” officials are weaker and he likes it that way.
@ 1 – hahaha stupid typo – was meant to be bedbuggy! Fixed it.
Good night,
Sleep tight,
Don’t let the bedbuddies bite!
I make ONE typo
:D
Imagine how I felt the other week when I made a bazillion of them :-)
Momentary confusion on seeing this:
I must apologize, but as a good Canadian*, upon hearing or reading this phrase, I am obligated to think of a particular school of early twentieth century Canadian landscape painters:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_Seven_(artists)
which, had he not died before the group got together, would have likely included another guy (Tom Thomson) which would have made it the Group of Eight (which just doesn’t have the same ring to it, so maybe it’s just as well he died after all). There’s Emily Carr, too, who was an influence on, and was influenced by the others, but she was way the hell out in British Columbia and not Ontario/Toronto based. She’d be stuck on Skype while the others could meet face to face at Starbucks, so there you go.
The Group of Seven (plus one dead guy, and Emily Carr) are actually now all dead. Decades dead. Security would be cheaper, because you wouldn’t have to worry about keeping them alive. I can’t imagine they’d have much to say at this point, but at least they wouldn’t complain about the bedbugs.
* As I don’t own any plaid flannel shirts, watch or play hockey, (or even skate) drink beer, drive a snowmobile, or eat bacon, there are those who would doubt my actual Canadian-ness, and still others who would likely try to revoke it. I do however visit Tim Horton’s frequently enough to pass, as long as my other lapses and deficiencies remain undetected. I also reflexively apologize if somebody happens to bump into me, even if it isn’t my fault.
I know normally the game is “what if Obama had done this,” but I think in this instance it’s more fun to play “what if Hillary had done something even vaguely approaching this?”
Like, let’s say the G-7 summit host contract was awarded to some resort after a thorough bid process pursuant to applicable government procurement regulations. Then some enterprising right wing news site “uncovers” that President Hillary Clinton’s former college roommate’s cousin’s dentist sits on the board of that resort. Scandal! The right wing erupts in fury and outrage! Fox News runs wall to wall coverage. Every conservative legal analyst soberly opines that this is EXACTLY the sort of situation that the Emoluments Clause was intended to prevent, and because Republicans care so much about the Constitution, they really have no choice but to impeach her. The Washington Post tries to be “balanced” by noting the “controversy,” but the New York Times dives right in, quoting anonymous FBI sources who are reportedly “troubled” by the allegations.
If you think I’m exaggerating, consider this: conservatives are currently trying to invent a scandal out of the fact that the lawyer who represents one of the Ukraine whistleblowers used to (pre-2000) work for the same public interest organization as the man who went on to be Hillary’s campaign manager. Two DC figures crossed paths once? They are “linked,” and obviously conspiring!
At this point, Trump could announce that he’s taking the U.S. government’s gold reserves and using it to make new toilets at every Trump Hotel, and GOP senators would nod and say “yes, that makes perfect sense and is utterly appropriate. Trump Properties have excellent experience with gold furniture and fixtures.”
