It's working!! It's wooooorking!!!
When did this happen? Knew they went to Hawaii for Christmas and Massachusetts in August? When did they vacation overseas?

If Trump doesn't use Air Force 1 he will probably need to have fighter jets accompany him home every day for lunch with Melania and young master Barron. That will add up for sure!

Kudos to those who get the reference.

Seems to me this isn't the first thread on government spending that you've employed the argument from incredulity fallacy....

I wonder if the amount liberals have calculated for Trump security is more or less than the amount of money needed for paying police and rebuilding communities they rioted in during the past year on orders of George Soros?

They are a fine example of doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and overand over and over and over and overand over and over and over and overand over and over and over and overand over and over and over and overand over and over and over and overand over and over and over and overand over and over and over and overand over and over and over and overand over and over and over and overand over and over and over and overand over and over and over and over

Trump: $1,000,000/day
Obama: $25,899/day

Which looks better? ��
Keep whining
Keep losing



Suddenly it is the Democratic Party that is losing EVERYTHING

Gee... I wonder why

It's nice to see the country starting to win again.

He's also going to get rid of a lot of the bad Obama regulations that Obama loved to sign in by executive order.
BUT BUT BUT he ties his shoelaces with the wrong knot!

We wished! Depending how senior they are, Agents make something in the neighborhood of $35 to $50 per hour x 10 hours a day - and there is no overtime. The Detail Leaders (bosses) are capped at around $65 per hour. No government employee can make more than about $155,000 per year, and for most employees, that would require a ton of overtime, which Agents don't get.

I've been retired for a couple of years, but those were the figures when I was in.

Whoever floated the $1,000,000 per day figure has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

False assumption that liberals actually supported anyone calling for rioting or violence.

Do conservatives support spray painting of swastikas shortly after the election results? I think not.


Both actions are that of criminals and both should be prosecuted. I doubt criminals such as these reflect either political platform of the Republicans nor Democrats.


another attempt at deflection.
