    Aside from July and August, June is the worst time of year there. The only reasons people book hotels there during the summer months is because the kids are out of school and the hotel rates are cheaper then.

    How come Trumpsters don't look stuff up before posting? Took me five seconds to find that.

    It was sarcasm ;)

    The right thinks the Clintons were grifters via their charity, but get curiously silent when Trump dories that **** right in front of their face. And then they praise him for being “transparent”.......its amazing to watch sometimes.

    When has Trump ever told the truth about his financials or his businesses? There is no rational basis for taking his word that he wouldn't take a profit. And even the revenue is bad enough, assuming he was miraculously telling the truth. The property is badly underwater financially. Awarding yourself a government contract for guaranteed revenue wouldn't have to result in a profit in order to be corrupt.

    Point out what the Clinton Foundation has done that is "illegal".

    In sharp contrast, the Trump (Self-Dealing) Foundation was shut down for serious non-compliance issues.

    At any rate, Bonespurs' back-peddle on hosting the G-7 at Doral is yet another example of a stupid decision that he got called out on, and fled the scene.

    Do you actually believe that coming from Trump after the MOUNTAIN of LIES, propaganda, and flat out BS his side has dossed on the world. The hatred he has caused ? What are COSTS ? If you know anything about business COSTS can be changed at any time to reflect PROFIT without showing it as such.

    And how in the world are you a Moderator with such a PRO -Trump point of view ? What kind of site is this ? Pro Tyranny ?

    • Calling out or attacking moderators or other staff (Rule 8)
    <Rule 8>
    I too want many things that TRUMP preaches about, but there is no Billionaire that cares about the working class. That is a joke, supporting Trump is supporting a psychopath... A guy that cares about his feeling and people patting him on the back. 95% of everything he done is too win election again, most backfires. The financial situation in this country is absurd and feeding the .001% and Trump has helped that tremendously with dereg. tax cuts, and propping the market. <Mod Edit>

    im on the right and im on record saying Doral was a horrible idea. Even his reasoning for cancelling it was cruddy imo. Before making a decision as a Republican you.gotta understand no matter what you do your gonna face backlash so do it over something worth it. People say the media is out to get him i sorta agree but thats no excuse for making their jobs easier.

    He's calling the Emoluments Clause "phony" even though it's part of the Constitution he's sworn to protect.

    I wonder if "law and order" Republicans are cool with that?

    They've been fine with Trump's crimes so far. Why should this be different? The GOP lost all honor and became fubar when they allowed Trump to conquer them, and they did it for the same old reason: staying in power is far more important than keeping wour word or your oath of office. That goes on in both parties, but the GOP has gone completely beyond any sense of decency or fairness.

    Of course they're not, but they won't publicly say a damned thing.

    Oops.

    I didn't even look to see who posted it. If I had, I would've figured that out.

    I can't think of any place I would rather be in June, the start of hurricane season, than southern Florida. Then there is the "proximity to Miami International airport." Slight correction, it's on the flight path to MIA. Nothing like a stream of wide bodies overhead to calm the nerves. Then there are the bedbugs. One thing positive about the choice, it will help the facility increase its summer occupancy from 39% to whatever.

    Here's the real plus and maybe even a game changer - Republicans dared to tell Trump this was a bad idea. Wow! Republicans confronted a god! That's a crack in Trump's foundation of dependable support by the GOP. Buck this up against Ukraine and Syria. If the Senate could take a secret vote, Trump would be packing his bags.

    No he didn't. He called the claims that his offering his resort violates the Emoluments Clause as phony.
