Is Titcomb still pimping and did he and Bathhouse Barry paint the town red after satisfying their munchies at our expense?

“The first family has been in Hawaii for nearly two weeks - they’re parked there until after the New Year holiday”
Soooo does this mean Obungo and the Wookie are living out of their Secret Service Van?
To: ColdOne
“”President-elect Donald Trump’s family trip to Florida for Thanksgiving cost taxpayers $7 million;””
For what? I would suspect they flew on the Trump plane; therefore weren’t on a government plane. What’s the cost for - Secret Service and what else?

I think BO is going to have a nervous breakdown during Trump's inauguration. He's totally unhinged.

When he goes to Honolulu nearly the entire southern half of the island grinds to a halt. It took 3 hours to get across the Pali when he was there a few years back. When he crosses the mountains the Like Like, Pali, and H3 are ALL shut down for him.
Why would they shut them all down? What possible sense does that make? For those who don't know, the Like Like, Pali, and H-3 are parallel highways under the Ko'olau Mountain Range between the windward side (Kaneohe and Kailua) to Honolulu. One can only be on one of those roads at a time, and there would be no reason to switch from one to another midstream. So I don't get why they'd shut them all down.

He’s homosexual, “she’s” transsexual — don’t know if they want to upset the gravy train they’ve got going. My guess is they keep up appearances (like the Clintons) and do what they have for decades.

My only conclusion is that since they do run across the mountain and are visible to each other at one point or another someone could stage a sniper attack from one pass to the other. If you have driven across any of them you will also note that the closure signals are at the base of the passes. I'm sure the SS has their rhyme and reason. Of course Obama likes to wait until rush hour time to cause maximum mayhem.
