    What the fuck have these people actually achieved? They lost every race they microtargeted.

    You helped build this Death Star ya little superannuated ferret. Fuck yourself.

    And now get paid to 'fix' the thing you broke - how very Bush Republican.

    Former President Donald Trump charged the US government at least $40,000 for Secret Service to use a room at his Mar-a-Lago resort after he left the White House, The Washington Post reported on Friday.
    Trump's Palm Beach, Florida resort charged taxpayers $396.15 every night from January 20 to at least April 30 for a single room Trump's security detail worked out of, according to spending records The Post obtained through a public-records request.

    Yeah, yeah. He's still dead right, and they're spending money to say so on a big stage. Those guys write and run the kind of political attack ads that the R's beat the D's to death with against Trump and his toadies. Ok, he's cashing in on those credulous enough to give money. That's their choice.

    He's still speaking the plain truth loudly to people who need to hear and understand it.

    How is this not subject to the GSA per diem rates?

    We've become so stupid that I have to ask ... is this a real tweet? From Cornyn? Agreeing with Pelosi? Saying we need the 1/6 commission?

    I don't have an answer, but I'd guess it relates to the fact that they were working out of the room, not lodging in it, which is where a per diem might apply. It probably falls within the budget of the secret service for expenditures necessary to do their job. If Trump is staying at Mar-a-Lago, the Secret Service needs a place at Mar-a-Lago to stage themselves.
