In Dec 2015, candidate Trump criticized Obama, who had been president for 7yrs, saying Obama had "played 250 rounds of golf"

Today, Trump is making his 251st taxpayer-funded visit to one of the golf resorts he still profits from and said he wouldn't visit if elected.
In less than three years in office, Trump has almost surpassed Obama's eight-year golf tally, which Trump relentlessly criticized on the campaign trail in 2016 (as the video shows)
Aside from golfing less, Obama also never played at a course he owned or profited from.

Meanwhile, Trump has played almost exclusively at Trump-brand courses, providing taxpayer-funded promotion to businesses he still profits from citizensforethics.org/trump-conflict…
And today, more golf at the resort he still profits from, where he routinely mingles with paying customers

Last time I caught the cats randomly staked out in front of the dishwasher was two days before the dishwasher broke from a mouse eating through the drainage tube.

Guess now I have a fun project for the last day of 2019.
Plot twist: I pulled out and investigated the dishwasher. All looked good. 😎

Then I put the dishwasher back and.....now the drain pump no longer works 💩
If I start a cleaning cycle, then reset it, the drain pump will quietly rev three times, then give up and throw an error message. I've checked the impeller. Nothing's blocking it.

1/ We filled up one of the bathtubs with water last night because the city had to shut off the water on our block to fix a water main.

Once it came back on, we didn't want to waste the water in the tub, so we've been using it for various things throughout the day.
2/ A little while ago, the house was quiet and my wife was watering plants with tub water when we heard a splash and a brief struggle, and then saw a sopping wet cat run through the house.
3/ The tub we filled is one we never use, but we had kept the door closed specifically because our cat Chatchat loves to run across the house, and then jump into it (without looking), so she can play and slide around

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

Trump's White House has just arranged a foreign visit -- so that he can play golf at his own resort.

Trump's golf tab is already at $102 million in taxpayer money. This Ireland jaunt will likely add a few million more.

huffpost.com/entry/trump-go…
Is $102 million a lot?

Well ...

It equals 255 years of presidential salary.
Or three Mueller investigations.
Or six years of Special Olympics Trump wanted to cut to save money.
Yes, this is the same president who used to insult President Obama for playing golf.

Yes, this is the same president who, as a candidate, promised he would never play golf because he would be too busy.

#Trump en meeting dans le Montana suggère son approbation au représentant Gianforte pour avoir violenté et cassé les lunettes de @JacobsBen journaliste du @guardian. En pleine polémique sur la tribune du @nytimes rappel: pour #Trump, c'est 1 guerre à mort contre le #journalisme.
2) Et dans le même meeting, #Trump a accusé le @nytimes de haute trahison pour avoir publié la tribune anonyme contre lui. Il n'a cessé de faire huer la #presse par 1 salle chauffée à blanc...
3) Cette "radicalisation" du discours de #Trump sur la #presse interroge sur l'avenir des relations entre citoyens US et #journalisme, à court terme (la campagne électorale à venir n'est-elle pas celle de tous les dangers pour des reporters à qui il accroche 1 cible dans le dos?)

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
