They never stop.
Doesn’t the professional fool Joey B and the krinton krime kartel charge the SS rent?
Impeach?
Yes, I distinctly remember that they built a guard house at their stately mansion in Chappaqua, and that they charge the SS rent for staying in it.
It's been a week. They're behind schedule!
Its all about trying to divert him from doing the Countrys business to make him look like a failure before the election. They are EVIL.
Ask Hunter Biden how much rent he charges the SS.
These POS power-mad traitorous bastards can’t do ANYTHING CONSTRUCTIVE
Dems want $50,000 for Dem convention. Why don’t they just have it in a GUN-FREE ZONE.
Trump’s next 4yrs are going to be an unending nightmare of investigations and baseless charges, and maybe another impeachment or two.
More harassment. Voters will hopefully send House Democrats out to pasture in November.
So Congress can get real work done.
House democrats are bitter, America hating douche bags as are pretty much ALL democrats these days.
The impeachment was plan B. Is this plan C, the next shiny thing?
It hasn’t yet gelled into a plan yet. Its just throwing poop at the wall to see what sticks.
As long as POTUS charges the same rate as John Q Public would pay, there’s nothing wrong or unethical about it. POTUS is not the sole owner of his properties as I understand it. His children are also shareholders, so he has an obligation to them. There is also the potential lost opportunity cost associated with having the Secret Service stay there rent free. Those are rooms that could potentially be rented to the public at the going rate if the Secret Service weren’t staying there, so the Trump corp. shouldn’t be expected to absorb that loss just because POTUS would rather stay at one of his own properties when traveling rather than somewhere else. And of course, POTUS has already forgone approx. 1.5 million in salary over the past 3 years.
Read the 5th Amendment. Read the 3rd. You could infer a payment due from either one. SS paid rent to Joe Biden for their shack on his Delaware property. Certainly Obama receives compensation on both his Vineyard and Kalorama properties.
I don’t know how the Trump organization handles pro bono rooms. But back in my productive years there were several times I received free rooms at a hotel. I did receive a charge for the room on my bill at check out, and then it was zeroed out. The charge went into a “write off” category, I suppose. I am not an accountant.
Biden made a fortune in charging rent to Secret Service at his home in Delaware. They “rented” some outbuildings.
the taxpayers funded the building of that guard house.
The SS will have to pay for a room wherever Trump stays. So what if it is on his property?
Do they think other places a President would stay would charge hundreds less per night for those rooms? Ah no!
What do they think the Trump organization should do, give those rooms out free and take a financial loss on them the whole time he is there with the SS in tow?
This is just childish.
