Yeah...there is no steady housing inside of Dublin! Only some tents and some metal sheet- huts!

But to help you out: booking.com, hotelbeds.com, tripadvisor, expedia.....

It's not that hard!

(If you were being sarcastic: job well done!)

No, not his own charity.

As you said in your next post, it is not that hard to look it up.

The mayor of London slammed Trump for playing golf during storm Dorian.  That's rich considering the Bahamas is a British territory or subject or whatever they call it.  What in the hell was Trump supposed to do? All available resources had already been allocated and set in place.  Wait by the phone, Donald.

He should have gone to Alabama to prepare them there for the coming onslaught by Dorian.

You're right. They have some excellent golf courses there.

Wow!

There is lot to digest here!

a) not sure what the MAYOR OF LONDON has to do with the Bahamas?

b) But taking the bate: what should the Mayor of LONDON have done about a hurricane in the Bahamas?

c) Trump called of a visit to Poland (which he later congratulated on the 8oth anniversary ot being invaded by Germany!), to stay home and monitor the incoming hurricane! ...and then played golf!

d) just for A SECOND, imagine President Obama had done this! just for a second....

And gets a tax deduction, considering all his expenses are paid, housing, food, transport, recreational costs, and I guess clothing allowance, why does he require a salary?

Even worse: I don't care!

He gets out of this whole affair, way more than the small amount, he donates!

So spare me!

No mention by our TDS friends that Trump donates his entire $400k salary every year.

Or that the 2017 tax cut bill especially favored businesses structured as pass-throughs. Also it especially favored real estate interests. Typically, real estate businesses like Trumps are structured as pass-throughs. But since President Trump did the principled thing and put his holdings in a blind trust, he couldn't possibly know whether or not the tax bill benefited him ...oh wait...

Another instance of grift by the current WH administration in order to benefit Donald and his businesses. And yet his supporters continue to turn a blind eye to the corruption in the White House. Crazy! I can't believe they still don't see it.

 

Air Force crew made an odd stop on a routine trip: Trump’s Scottish resort

 

Quote

Taken together, the incidents raise the possibility that the military has helped keep Trump’s Turnberry resort afloat — the property lost $4.5 million in 2017, but revenue went up $3 million in 2018.

a)   He, the mayor, is a British official, ergo, part of the U.K. government of which the Bahamas is a protectorate.

b)  What he should not have done.He really had no business criticizing  a U.S. government official who did in fact have all available resources at the ready, including the U.S. coast guard and supplies donated (to the Bahamas, a UK territory)

c) With today's technology it is totally with-in the scope to be able to monitor the situation even from the golf course.

d)  I believe that Obama actually headed off to Hawaii during a similar event during his administration.

      I have yet to see any UK aid being rendered much less any empathy from The Mayor.

A) The Lord Mayor of London is "local" government" police, roads and garbage and housing, not foreign affairs.

B) Bahamas is not a protectorate, it became an independent Commonwealth Country (similar to NZ. Australia, Canada) in 1973, therefore no responsibility required by the Government of the United Kingdom

In America...

A lot of Trumps enterprises have benefited from him being president, and I can see when Trump is kicked out of office there being inquiries into spending's, where Trumps hotels and resorts were used in preference to other establishments offering better prices and services.

 

Will we see Trumps enterprises being blacklisted?

If republicans werent spineless jellyfish they also would condemn him.

 

Jeez they even went off on one for obama wearing a beige suit.
