    So is a $4k gown and $750 per plate dinner only outrageous when a Democrat does it?

    At a private resort he owns and personally profits from. Some “man of the people”.


    ...But the self-congratulatory mood came as ethics experts called out Trump’s New Year bash for crossing boundaries between the president’s public responsibilities and his private interests. Tickets for the event cost $600 for Mar-a-Lago members and $750 for their guests.

    Richard Painter, the former top ethics lawyer in the George W Bush administration, told the Guardian on New Year’s Eve that he felt that the party – as with Trump’s continued use of Mar-a-Lago generally – offered presidential access to anyone that can afford its $200,000 initiation fee.

    “Trump continues to combine his personal business with his official work,” said Painter. The real problem, he said, was that Trump was at his so-called “Winter White House” so often that he was in effect conducting official business while promoting his own property.

    “He can easily be contacted by members of Mar-a-Lago, so people who pay him or pay his company money are getting preferential access. If you go to the bar, you run into prominent government officials. So it’s lobbying, but it’s not lobbying that’s going to be disclosed under the Lobbying Disclosure Act.”

    Since taking office, Trump has made frequent visits to his for-profit properties while continuing to refuse to divest from his real estate and hotel empire. Over the past year, problems with several properties, including the Trump SoHo hotel, have surfaced.....

    Thanks to Justin much of Canada may be too stoned to care as of July 1st. :lol:

    Joking aside, I'm glad to know he's just getting started as the news would be quite boring without his silly twitter comments and dramatic lead-ins to new stories about what he said or did that day on the evening news. Looking forward to many more OMG! moments in 2018.

    "Just getting started" doing what? Making sure that his syphilis-dementia and malevolence from eating too many paint chips with lead in them spreads to every part of America before 2018's end? :?

    Canada July 1, California Jan 1.... we all might need a charge account at the local pot shop by next Christmas.

    Prediction: Marc and Jodi Emery go mainstream, team up with RBC to produce the Cannabis One Mastercard. What's in your wallet?

    OH No! Where will we get their chief exports? Islamic terrorism and
    roll up carpets.
    If only Canada would follow suit.

    Sorry all you Chamberlains 7th century thinking is a no go.
