Same facts. Democrat in the White House. All good?
President has a failing golf resort in Ireland near Shannon Airport. US taxpayers are paying for Pence and other US official visitors to stay at Trump Resort, even though meetings in Dublin, on other coast of Ireland.
President has failing Doral resort near Miami airport. Proposes that next G7 conference be held there.
President has failing golf resort in Scotland (Turnberry). Local airport ready to close. Hence, on Trans Atlantic flights on Air Force One, the plane lands at airport and refuels. $11 million paid to airport thus far for fuel.
Cat bit your tongue, Conservatives?

Which term might that be, ignorant or demagogue? Xenophobia is used by demagogues to appeal to the
ignorant. Not all Orange voters are xenophobes, but almost all xenophobes are Orange voters. And there is a sizeable amount.

No shit Sherlock. One of the guys at Yalta with him was a Soviet spy.
Roosevelt prevented Soviet domination of Europe by starting a second front as well as defeating the Narzies, who we were at war with.
It wasn’t done simply to help Russia. It also had nothing to do with pro Soviet advisors.

I don’t think Democrats Presidents should fly. Due to the global warming impact, they should only
ride bikes, walk, or use those electric scooters—but only when charged using solar cells. No more jet fuel, gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.
If a President that is a Democrat needs to cross the ocean, they should only use sail boats.

No, you would not be on here complaining about it if it was a Dem doing something similar.
Again, you are the mirror image of the hyper-partisans on the other side. For eight years, this board was infected with endless posts like this about everything Obama did, casting each and every one as evidence of his corruption, along with declarations that what he was doing was unprecedented.
It usually falls on me to point these things out, particularly when it's some long-time, favored poster. This will undoubtedly provoke one of the usual suspects to write that this is ridiculous because, after all, Trump really is that bad, whereas similar criticism of Obama was over-the-top. They would be correct, of course, about the second proposition, but they would be incorrect in assessing that the perpetual, def-con 4 outrage from people like you is justified. As sure as the wind, at some point, we will be treated to the obligatory accusations that Trump is playing too much golf, as well. After all, the thinly-veiled giddiness at the prospect of an economic slowdown/ recession already emerged, and I believe that's like step four.
Same as it ever was...same as it ever was...

Why are the barristers on this board so weak at debate?
Various Democratic presidents have committed unethical acts or made unethical decisions. Remind me of the time you pointed out one of these missteps by Obama. Or, wait, lemme guess, Obama never did anything unethical, right?

since you are the Chosen One what do you think of Trumpo
Taking $3.6 billion from the military budget to build I guess a portion of the wall. Usurping Congress and hurting several military projects. Judge Napolitano, a former Domer ( Thanks Avenue) called this tyranny. Just trying to get the spin from Trumpo supporters on this action. I know you are the BaronNedEliChaddy whisperer.

Do you have any sense of how weak you are?
I didn't vote for the man in 2016. I voted straight Democrat, except for county sheriff, in the Fall of 2018. That's irrelevant, but someone like you can't comprehend that. It isn't much fun debating people who have no idea how to debate, which is to say, most people.
I don't follow the path of partisan hacks who put no thought into anything they believe. Rather, they behave like a finely-tuned sheep. Since the counselor is intent on evasion, the actual issue here is unethical behavior by presidents and whether loyalists of each party have enough intellectual integrity to call out their own guys when they behave unethically. When Obama told tens of millions of Americans that they would be able to keep their doctors, knowing that this wasn't true, that was unethical, and in my judgment, a more serious ethical transgression than the current con man-in-chief taking something off the top by putting his VP and team up in his resort.

But cut out all the PEDs. I am not a gear geek although some of my buddies are. I have a ten year old S2 Cervelo with Shimano Ultegra kit. About five years ago I bought some Easton carbon wheels and that upgrade made a real difference. I just ride an hour or so 4-5 times a week. I used to ride a lot more but I am slowing down in my old age. Cheers. I think Obama could beat Trumpo in a bike race but I think George W could beat them both.
