    Not me. The Libertarian/Economic Conservative in me hates to see something like that. What makes this especially bothersome is that the money would go directly to benefit the President.

    The President is certainly underpaid compared to what the job entails, but it isn't supposed to be about the perks.

    I get your point, but the material perks are not so great that anyone is going to aim for the job because of the material perks.

    Obviously there should be limitations, but I don't think the office perks are at that level.

    I know it rubs your libertarian values the wrong way...... I just think that both parties are about the same on those issues, and that we have bigger things to worry about.

    Please, you're just embarrassing yourself and shame on you for making light of rape to be funny.

    @juicystream @sirbaihu @NewRoxFan
    To all the others, fine be outraged I don't disagree but there is tons government waste so you better get to posting. You could start with 200k spent by NSF to find out why Wikipedia is sexist. Or maybe the 387k to the NIH for Swedish massages for rabbits. My personal fav because it's related to Houston and the med center, the USDA spending almost 1million to create an app called "Kiddio: Food Fight!." That's right, a cool million to develop a shitty app. Listen the only point I was making is that this will get lost in all of the other outrage so save your energy because a Western White House isn't that big of a deal in comparison. Good luck on your research, I look forward to your threads on government waste.

    You just proved my point. Its not funny when someone accuses your hombre, but when he's on record saying "when you're a star they let you do anything ; grab em by the p***y" where was this outrage? I can't think of a better way to make you address your hypocrisy.

    This is normal. The terms of service of the SS includes protection of the president and his family, without terms on up to how much. This would obviously scale to however big his family is and how expensive their residency is. We just have an extraordinary circumstance of an incredibly posh president. Afaik, the SS aren't allowed donations and rent is included in that so they're mandated to pay the landlords, in this case, Trump himself.

    That's just how it works.

    Even with the shills on ignore, I can still tell who they are and what they said just from the replies. Sigh.

    Yea I don't put anyone on ignore. They usually end up getting quoted so you read their posts anyways or someone responds to them over the same **** they spew and you know who they're responding to anyways. Bit of a futile effort IMO.

    Dude! You ignored my point A THIRD TIME. Trump is getting paid by the DOD. That is LAME.

    I'm only outraged by your insincerity, nothing else. You're practicing your propaganda by repeating "outrage" over and over. It doesn't work. It shows you have nothing good to say. Shame on your for willfully being on the wrong side of facts.

    Actually, when you put someone on ignore, quotes of them also disappear from view.

    Though the echo chamber phenomena is real, I must say. Everyone not on ignore now appears to be engaged in some kind of shadow boxing (which might not be far from the truth).

    I bet if I put everyone OTHER THAN the shills on ignore, this forum might become quite entertaining:

    "Obama..."
    "Hillary..."
    "Muslims..."
    "Mexicans..."
    "Brains..."

    It'd be as if zombies can string together simple words. It'd be LOLtastic!

    No. The simple excuse to that is it never happened.

    And your missing the biggest point... THAT'S HOW IT WORKS!?!? How don't you get that? Did you think The Donald knew he would be POTUS when he built and decided to live in Trump Tower. Get a grip son...

    How soon will the White House kitchen be serving Trump steaks, Trump wine, and giving out Trump autobiographies as gifts to foreign dignataries? The excuse then will be well, they gotta eat something!

    Do you just cut and paste "Get a grip son..." into every thread?
    What does the construction of Trump Tower have to do with anything?
    How old are you?

    See the stupidity of people talking about TRUMP WON'T TAKE A SALARY
    He got around it by basically saying .. I want XXX Amount a day for my family to stay away from me

    He is literally making more money a day . . than the Salary would have been per year
