> [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > Hurricane season aside, Miami in June is anything but undercooked. Or under-humidified. Quoted for truth. I grew up in south Florida and spent my teenage summers working at a hotel as a pool attendant. Miami in June is approaching “burn your hands on the steering wheel” hot (which peaks in August); the hot afternoons are usually interrupted by brief sun showers that have the effect of ramping up the humidity exponentially. The only relief comes from the ocean breezes or being out on the water…except Doral is about 20 miles inland. In short, Miami in the summer is brutal. And Doral - like the rest of the inland region - is drained swamp. Nobody is unhappy not to have to trudge there. ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > OP, do you realize the Constitution forbids the president from using his office for profit? Or do you only pay attention to the gun rights part? After spending their entire lives cherry-picking the Bible and portions of the 2nd Amendment (ALL THAT SHIT ABOUT “WELL-REGULATED MILITIA’S” IS IRRELEVANT, ONLY THE PHRASE “RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS” MATTERS, GAWDDAMMIT, OR I’M GOING TO SHOOT UP A SCHOOL, LIBTARDS!!), calling the emoluments clauses “fake news” is rather easy.

Butbutbut… the Doral can’t be making money at 37% occupancy, and filling it up “at cost” would at least cover expenses so the staff could get paid. Just think of all the illegal aliens on the payroll that Trump is keeping from raping and murdering Americans not to mention keeping them from getting welfare, free medical care and free schooling. You are destroying America if you move the summit! ---

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > I have nothing personally against the undocumented, but it sure would have been a hoot to have the INS raid the place the morning of the summit. Alas, it is not to be. Would not have happened. The former INS is now three agencies, USCIS, ICE, and CPB, and all three are run by Trump henchmen. Such a raid would have been conducted by ICE, and in this administration where self-serving corruption is the #1 rule that supersedes all others, you can be sure that ICE is under double-strict orders to keep hands off all Trump properties. It’s the same principle that directs US government business to them.
