Natasha Bertrand dropped another Trump bomb, Rachel Maddow is on it, expect it tonight.

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/06/air-force-trump-scottish-retreat-1484337



Air Force crew made an odd stop on a routine trip: Trump’s Scottish resort

An overnight stay at the property raised conflict-of-interest concerns and is part of a House probe into military spending at and around the Trump retreat.

Well, OK, if a Democrat did it they would be literally HUNTED DOWN BY MILLIONS OF CONS and ENDED within 24 hours, but, this is rump

So no problem.

Hell, any GOP could do this and almost half the country would say so what!

Therefore we no longer have a functioning society. We cant survive this way.

But won't be. But it's still important. It's not just costing the taxpayers money. It's also putting the military members at risk, to have them land and leave from an unfamiliar commercial airport and make that diversion that isn't scheduled or planned for.

And why? Not because a passenger was deathly ill or there was some emergency on board or a declaration of war... but because the president's resort was losing money?

airport staying in business to get people to it. Why invest millions, most likely from Russians, in a resort in such a remote location that he has to keep the airport afloat to get people there?

No wonder he kowtows to Putin and the Russians.

He could pull out an AR 15 and murder half of Congress and the Republicans would just shrug and say that it's a shame but he's the president.

I couldn't believe the chutzpah. Unbelievable corruption.

This is what's going on with Republicans. Putting money in their own pockets--or those of their buddies--is what they view as the primary purpose of government.

The con, the grifting, the corruption is totally out of control.

He must be impeached.

HOW do you think we got to this point ?

Putting children in cages should have had the entire country massing in the streets demanding immediate cessation to this inhumane debauchery.

The House should have been holding all-nighters to denounce this criminal treatment of children and pass resolutions to stop this madman from further deranged policies.

What did we hear from the House and Nancy Pelosi ?

CRICKETS.

I have lost patience with all of them.

If the American people aren't "there yet" on impeachment then LEAD THEM to it. Make the inhumane criminality impossible to ignore.

You know, the "grifters gonna grift" thing. I'll bet that in every available second not spent tweeting, golfing, or watching TV, he's explored every opportunity to do more of the same.
