Did he fill out the form? Did he get somebody to cover his shift?

I said, for the first time a few days ago, that this impeachment push is an obvious obfuscation and that If I knew how to do it, I’d have eyes on off shore accounts and the airline ticket agencies.

I keep saying that they don't need passports like us regular people do. All they need to do is call in a favor and they can bypass customs with ease.

Fat cat union bosses....

Just because he can vacation for a month on the South of France, be paid multiple tens of thousands in salary and unofficial special bonuses, and then also embezzle hundreds of thousands from members’ union dues doesn’t make him a union fat cat, does it?

Oh, I guess it does.

Friend of mine here in MI tried to not join his union and pay “service fee” same as dues. Some guys first threatened him, then overnight his new car had a coating of some kind of clear glue or varnish put all over it that dried hard to go with also sabotaging his engine. Not the fun bunch.

Time for a vacation in a non-reciprocal extraditing country.

How about the feds probe all the corruption in the Deep State, permanent shadow government, and the Democrat party?

The UAW enriches a few Union fat cats. The Dems undermine self-government and destroy the Republic.

Trump may send some “extraction” teams to “bring them back home” safe and sound.

“Colette Travel. How can I help you?”

“Yes, miss. I’d like to go on vacation. Can I book a trip to a lovely country with no extradition treaties with the USA?”

The $1.5M was spent on “cigars, private villas, high-end liquor and meal expenses, golfing apparel, golf clubs, and green fees,” according to the complaint.

Who does he think he is? Wayne LaPierre?

Some years back I was doing a job in Minneapolis and some electricians were on strike. I was just a small part of the job so I went about my business and got it done. The next day all my trailer tires had been slashed and concrete forms were pulled out as well as other vandalism. The general contractor, union, told me he was sure it was just some kids. Yeah, sure. They only targeted my stuff.
