Trump Steps Up to House 275 Electrical Linemen as Hurricane Milton Approaches

[Moonglow]

Billiejeens it's a tax deduction move

 

[Moonglow]

/—-/ And Obama’s many trips to Hawaii cost nothing? Plus he took his salary for 8 years.

Trump, by law, had to take his pay also.

 

[Moonglow]

So now people are responding to help people affected by a hurricane?

 

[Cellblock2429]

Trump, by law, had to take his pay also.

/---/ Yes, and he gave it away.

 

[Moonglow]

Cellblock2429 his choice.

 

[Moonglow]

/---/ Yes, and he gave it away.

I did work for free this summer at the campgrounds I take care of, the owner had a heart attack which left him incapable of functioning and his wife had to take care of him and stop working.
I doubt you will vote for me.

 

[Frankenstein]

Probably billing FEMA, at standard rates, to get occupancy.

Can you prove your TDS statement

/—-/ Good for you. BTW, you’re missing the point of the thread.

No, I am not, Trump is playing games with those in other affected states by lying and claiming nothing is being done for them.

Wow, talk about sour grapes.

 

[hadit]

No, I am not, Trump is playing games with those in other affected states by lying and claiming nothing is being done for them.

There are areas that have had nothing at all done for them. I went through one about a week ago and talked with a local while we waited for a truck loaded with debris to back onto the washed-out road. They've had no help whatsoever from either the state or the federal governments. They've dug themselves out, removed debris, marked downed power lines, run their own generators, go out for food, water, and fuel, and are basically going to wait a long time until somebody can come through to fix the roads and restore power. Maybe they'll get a check for a few hundred bucks to tide them over for the next 6 months.

The lie is that everybody is being very well cared for by the Quid Pro administration. They are not, and this area was accessible via vehicles, so a road closed sign should not stop helpers from getting in. Honesty would require a statement like, "We're doing everything possible to assist as many as possible as fast as possible but acknowledge that it is a monumental task that will take a lot of time and effort to reach everyone. In the meantime, we welcome any and all assistance from private citizens who want to help". Why the need to lie and claim everything's fine? Do I even need to ask that question in a campaign season?

Where did he say, he donated the rooms free of charge to them and the state? Nowhere? I figured as much. I was Army. The taught us to never assume. I guess Navy was different.

Read the ******* article while your TDS is on mute.

 

[White 6]

How 'bout I do neither because I'm not the one who has a big problem with Trump helping people, you do. You want to assign some scurrilous intent to the action despite no evidence supporting it.


So now Trump is a jerk for having empty rooms.


So Trump gets no credit for helping a lot of good guys out but would have been an asshole and a greedy, rich, selfish bum if he hadn't.


So now Trump will break even. Do please let us know when you get an actual report on how and when he was recompensated for his expenses.
Gee, are you that hard on everyone who gets paid back (or not) for the expenses they incur in doing someone else a favor? BTW, do you know that when Trump was in office, he donated his presidential salary back to the government or charity rather than keep it for himself?

I wonder W6, are you as hard at critiquing everything Joe Biden, Kammy Harris, Tim Walz and Barry Obumma do? I wonder if Barry, Bill, Hillary and Mike are getting paid too or are they stumping around the nation right now from hotel to hotel all out of the goodness of their hearts?

Just trying to understand WTF your beef is.

I am well documented critiquing Joe on the border. Kamala Harris, as I have said, was not a very impressive choice for VP, and made fumbles early on. Then, like most other Vice Presidents, disappeared into the woodwork. That changing only when Joe showed not up to another 4 years. I have no major policy or leadship problems with Kamala Harris, and will vote for her, next week, when early voting starts. I am a pensioned 20 year military retiree, most of that as an officer. I trust General Milley's assessment of Trump, that Trump is a dangerous total fascist, that would be a danger to our democracy, as we know it, based on his past actions, and his campaign rhetoric of lies, mischaracterization, and stated plans, if he wins. He sucks. I cannot vote to return him to any leadership position, in any elected office. I wish him well, cheating on his wife, and on the golf course, if he stays out of jail, for his past crimes. If not, I hope he doesn't drop the soap.

/——/ Why didn’t Trump become a dictator when he was in office for four years?
We’re not a democracy, we’re a Republic.
democRATs hate the military.

 

[Nostra]

Send him a check or go give him a blowjob. If he didn't have the empty rooms, it would have never come up, just like if he was packing his hotel in Scottland, the C-130s would not have changed to start using that place as a stop over. You don't get credit as if doing what you are naturally wanting to do (in this case, filling room) just because out of town people that actually are helping in an emergency need rooms, that will be reimbursed by government. Geez!

still waiting on that ink to him asking to be paid.

I'll take your word for it.

I have no major policy or leadship problems with Kamala Harris

That is because Harris hasn't ever yet had any leadership positions.

I trust General Milley's assessment of Trump

You trust a general who went behind his commander's back and committed treason warning the Chinese that he had THEIR back in case the USA went to war with them, a situation which was never actually a possibility.

Trump is a dangerous total fascist, that would be a danger to our democracy

Won't you feel like an ass then voting for Harris if she wins and actually turned out to be the very danger you thought you were avoiding with Trump, for she not Trump is the one who for years has been sending up the real red flags.

Because he could not, at that time, as he was still subject to not only impeachment, but prosecution for intentional illegal acts. The Supremes have taken prosecution for intentional illegal acts off the table, if he can say it is related to presidential duty, so he is pretty well scott free if he can land the job. It would definitely be nice to commit, just about any crime that comes to mind, with no fear of prosecution. It was a dangerous temporary interpretation by The Supremes, no matter who wins.
We may not be a democracy or a republic, if Trump has his way. Looks more like a Fascist Autocracracy, is the plan.

I certainly wood feel like an ass, but do not see it having anywhere near the probability as Donny, knee capping political opponents, media networks not favorable to him, starting trade wars with other countries for the middle and lower income of this country to pay for, to the benefit of the uber-rich, and pushing legislation to use interstage commerce regulation to track and control women attempting to flee their home state for healthcare choice, supported by a hand packed Supreme Court, to say it is all OK, if he says it is part of doing the job. Doing the job on Americans, he doesn't like, that is.

Stop lying. You know damn well that is not what they did. Our system of checks and balances would prevent it. The military would refuse to enforce it.

SCOTUS rules presidents have immunity in core constitutional acts, not unofficial acts​

WASHINGTON (OSV News) — Presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution as it relates to core constitutional acts of their office, presumptive immunity for official acts, but none for unofficial acts, a divided Supreme Court ruled July 1.

 

[toobfreak]

Alleged intentional acts.

The Supremes have taken prosecution for intentional illegal acts off the table,

No they haven't, they have only said what we already knew--- that you cannot prosecute ANY president for official acts and duties within the purview of the office of the president. Put simply, you can't prosecute a president for doing presidential stuff because that would inhibit and influence the office.

It was a dangerous temporary interpretation by The Supremes

That has ALWAYS been the interpretation of the office of president. Or would you now have us sue Bumma for his ACA, and Biden for his terrible pullout of Afghanistan and for opening the border? Just say so.
