I’m guessing the taxpayers are paying top dollar for those rooms.
I know. It is unprecedented isn’t it, that Secret Service would pay rent to those they protect.
$2,200 a month for a rental cottage?
I think the Perrier in the Mar-A-Lago mini-fridges run about $2,200.
$13k over four months, per the Moonie Times. In 2011. Trump and his crowd are costing taxpayers $3 million per trip. You’re right; it’s the same!
CNN’s Breaking News banner during the Spicer press briefing is hilarious.
“Spicer said Paul Manafort played a ‘very limited role’ in Trump’s campaign. (He was campaign chairman.)”
Is it the principle of the matter (paying rent to the one you protect) you’re objecting to or the amount?
Because if it is the amounts, I can show you a bunch of bills Secret Service ran up traveling to Hawaii with Obamas… I believe even for just one vacation it was in the millions.
I don’t believe it was Mr. Batty or I drawing the equivalence here.
Besides, with Trump going south to play golf every weekend, the only way you’re winning the “Who Cost the Tax Payers More” contest is if Trump resigns within the next two weeks.
How many times in eight years, vs. seven times in eight weeks?
Do you ever read your cites?
Wow! So millions for a vacation vs millions for each (frequent) weekend trip - how many weekends did Obama spend in Hawaii, anyway? Trump has been to Mar a Lago 5 times in the first 2 months. And isn’t the Secret service also paying rent in NY for Melania and Barron? So…
Yeah, Trump is spending A LOT more than Obama did.
I did. Secret Service approached Biden about renting from him. Biden didn’t force them to rent from him, definitely. Do you have any cites that Trump forced Secret Service to rent from him?
Do you think there’s a rental cottage available for $2,200 a month immediately adjacent to Trump Tower or Mar-a-Lago?
Ok. Show us.
Former North Carolina police chief detained by customs. I’m sure it has nothing to do with his Arabic name.
If you read the article, you’d see that CBP said that it was because of his name; his (very common in the Arabic-speaking world) name was a known alias for someone on the watch list.
So, if some terrorist begins using the alias John Smith we can expect that all of the American citizen’s with that name will be detained also?
The Mar-a-Lago rent is going right into Trump’s personal pocket.
Ok. Here is one Hawaiian vacation cost for the Secret Service:

Judicial Watch recently received records revealing that Secret Service expenses for the first family’s 2015 Hawaiian vacation cost taxpayers $1.2 million, bringing the total cost of the vacation trip to at least $4.8 million.
Only if they have brown skin.
