RE: “George W. Bush made 77 visits to his ranch in Crawford”

“Over eight years, not eighteen months. And I’d bet all 77 trips together cost less than this “party for 40” that MarieAntoinetteMaBelle’s on.”

Crawford ranch is Bush’s personal property - he was not renting luxury rooms — he’d go there and stay awhile, and the place was rigged up with whatever he’d need for WORK, i.e., the Texas White House.
When Bush family went to Maine, again that was utilizing family property.
If Zero and FLOTUS want to vacation in Chicago, in their personal house, that would be fine with me. The rest of this gallivanting around the world is ridiculous and expensive. It’s just so unseemly given the mess we are in; of course, much of that is due to Zero and his buddies so I guess it makes sense!
It's a different civilization in SA than here. They know what's going on. Read their papers on the net. Spanish isn't hard to read. Portuguese is a bit harder for me.
