    To those familiar with the many idiomatic expressions in the English language, "RATS!" is an expression of DISPLEASURE,
    ( dis·pleas·ure
    (dĭs-plĕzh′ər)
    n.
    1. The condition or fact of being displeased)



    ....which accurately reflects my likely sentiments given the hypothetical I was opining upon.

    We are all waiting to see that, in Judge Ellis's court, by Friday.

    But he charges for everything else including the use of golf carts for his SS bodyguard.

    What part of a guilty plea do you not understand? Once one pleads guilty, that is the ultimate evidence, can't be overcome. Don't what any other party testifies to, it is no longer material. Now he could plead perjury and face another trial. Flynn has absolutely no bearing on Manafort, the real subject of this thread.

    Only in the minds of those that chose to ignore reality. Being totally ignorant of what is really going on, one tends to blame those he is told to blame without any thought of their own. There is no one in this country, other than myself of course because I just don't care, that can not be found guilty of either tax or bank fraud (both really the same actually) when under the scrutiny of a prosecutor, especially one with an axe to grind and unlimited government funds that can be stolen from somewhere.

    I also see you have the talking points for Russia down pat.

    Not Trump, he had to turn operations of his assets over to others. And are you saying that his managers should not do their jobs and bill for goods and services?

    And whether he goes to his places or anywhere else the security details follow at the same rate of expenditure so that doesn't fly either.

    By the way, Lago Mar used to be a presidential retreat for Johnson I believe, but he liked Key Biscayne and went there. Trump relieved the government from very expensive upkeep by buying the place and fixing it up.

    You must have me confused with someone that gives a good rat's patootie. I never made any such claim.

    So some fictional entity gave him some authority that a fiction can never own? Where did some person in the DOJ get the authority to give it to someone else? Is it somewhere in the 50 some titles of the US code? Did a burning bush appear and give it to them? Did someone go upon the mountain and come back with it written on stone tablets?

    "They aren’t in jail because they’ve not broken any laws.", now that goes down under the title: "Moral Relativism".

    That is a DC district judge that has absolutely zero credibility and bogus credentials probably including a BAR card. She is definitely a psychopath that believes she is god.

    Oh, by the way it was an August 2017 memo from Rosenstein that little miss god ruled on.

    Well I just granted my neighbor to be the supreme king of the world and he said Rosenstein was an idiot and he granted a writ of quo warranto for Rosenstein. Makes about as much sense as your argument.

    And they aren't in jail because this nation, well all the others also, is under the rule of men. The rule of law died some 231 years ago.

    Yes you’re right, when you responded I didn’t realize you weren’t who made the claims

    There are no talking points for "Russia". I knew about Manafort because of his activity with pro-Russian Turds in Ukraine the country of my parents birth. So you must know of a dark place to place you ignorant accusations of "talking points" and if you do not I can send you a link with instructions. Before you accuse anyone else here on this forum of ignorance it would behave you to take a good long look on the mirror.

    FDR, the scum that stole the gold and gave the world to his big industry buddies. Manafort, what crime are you talking about? Where is the injured party? This isn't law, it's political opera, a tragedy where the government buys the elevator and the people get the shaft.

    That would be in your mind which seems to be demonstrating ignorance of the law which would lead to such an erroneous conclusion. Blind faith don't cut it here, care to back up what you are claiming.

    Yes, and the question from me, which was poorly stated, should have been why the displeasure when what the other was posting may not manifest into reality. It was just their wishful thinking.

    Do you know who owns the house the taxpayers rented for Obama in Hawaii 2016?

    Trump’s 2017 travel costs topped $6 million for Mar-a-Lago alone, according to a Wall Street Journaltally. That included just airfare, not the cost of protection from the Secret Service, which received congressional approval to raise its cap on overtime and salaries after the first family’s travel schedule drained the agency’s budget early.

    He does not charge for anything, the business does. Would that not be a reasonable thing to do?

    No because he owns the business and it's his life they are protecting.

    Sure there are and you follow them pretty closely. So you are part of a belief system with profound prejudice as the basis of that belief. As to the "rosy red", you do seem to portray yourself as an expert, with written instructions no doubt.

    Ignorant, from Latin ignorantem (nominative ignorans) "not knowing, ignorant," present participle of ignorare "not to know, to be unacquainted; mistake, misunderstand; take no notice of, pay no attention to which would be different from Nescience from the Latin verb nesciere: "to not know because knowledge was absent or unobtainable" Ignorance is a choice.

    All people practice ignorance to one degree or another. To a mass majority however, the degree is substantial and political forums are where the ignorant collect in droves. Now in this particular thread you have shown us that you prefer to ignore law but still feel free to post comments but when challenged, want to blame everybody but the responsible, well that might be too strong a word, because you can't formula a valid answer to the challenge.

    And this is a political forum.

    So you don't believe in property rights. And by the way, Trump is on an ego trip, he doesn't need this. Imagine having to step down and live in that dump, the White House.

    Then using your analysis, Trump should pay back all those businesses received from his Presidential patronage. Should he pay it back after all those before him or after? I believe Trump should wait for the Odumbo check to clear before he write his. He should also make sure that the Hitlerly and Slick Willie don't pay with foundation funds.

    Trump is still very much, personally , the beneficiary of the revenues from these locations. And holy **** you did not just try to claim that Trump saved the US government money by purchasing Mar a Lago.

    Also, the rate IS higher because Trump visits these locations much more frequently than any other President.
