As The Bible says- "They have their reward"- at least for now.

Trump was not suppose to win a globally rigged election.
No one on the left, predicted his popularity accurately.


Or the global rigging.

+1'ed you just for being a practical person with a brain. 40K (Or $100MM)for a wedding for 600 people is lunacy.

True story. Wife and I had a 20 person wedding. cost us about 1500 bucks including dress. We were ordering invitations for the people that actually matter to us and the engraver told us that more than once...

A concerned father is looking at these crazy costs for a wedding. Dad says to daughter "your mom and I can give you 22K this year. We will repeat this next year for a total of 44K cash to start your life. This is a down payment on a HOUSE. They NEVER saw a daughter take the cash and run. Sad really.

I mean, look how much they value getting a convention or something like the Super Bowl etc. as doing for the local economy. Fills up hotels, drivers, catering, servers, musicians etc etc etc.

I cannot quantify that in this instance but it is a valid point imo.

Now if they paid $5million to have a private Beyoncé concert (making it up as an example) then yeah most of that money is going to scoot right out of the country.

That being said, you and I generally agree upon matters like this as being none of our dang business how somebody on the other side of the globe spends their $$$.

That figure might be off. But you get the idea.

What nation are we at war with and why? I've been asking that for awhile now.

What happens when a clear example of the left's hypocrisy as demonstrated by this $100M debauchery where they all flew private jets to attend is brought to light?



Trump derangement. The double standard has to be seen to be believed.

OK, so you ARE still ignoring the fact that you were wrong with the entire premise of this post and that these folks actually provided 10s of thousands of meals for those in need as part of this event?

Considering the person you quoted, fat chance you'd get them to admit they were wrong.

Ahh yeah. What Nancy Pelosi calls "scraps". This is example of it.

Point to any post where you admit you were wrong. I can. Where's yours?
