You've squandered $70 mil on luxury G.O.P. golf for billionaires

so far just this year.

FYI, republicons are lavishing your tax dollars on themselves again this weekend,
as their felonious and predatory golfing Cheater-in-Chief putters and waddles
his merry way about his taxpayer-fattened G.O.P. golf courses.

As usual, he's treating his republicon billionaire buddies to
the absolute finest things that you sucker taxpayers can (or can't) afford.

"Donald Trump has golfed 50 days out of 203 days since returning to office (24.6% of the presidency spent golfing).

Days golfed determined using POTUS's public schedule published to: Roll Call Factbase

Est. cost to taxpayers this year for golf since returning to office: $70,000,000

1. It just may be a wash/net gain for us: if he's screwing up on a golf course, he isn't screwing up in the Oval Office.

2. HOT savings tip for taxpayers

MAIN MESSAGE OF THE GOP AROUND THIS SHIT
If you are obedient proles, you will cut back on frivolities -- like eggs, bread, meat, and cheese -- so you can continue to pay taxes and thereby support the G.O.P.s Greatest Golf Cheat as he builds obscene wealth by virtue of the taxable sweat of your hardworking butt.

Color me disgruntled I just do not like paying taxes for flabby republicon billionaires to luxuriate,
especially not when they are trashing food banks, and cutting SNAP benefits to the poor.

3. I am going to put it out there that the amount of actual golf time based on the roll call...

Is quite likely a severe underestimate. He cheats and he lies. He’s surrounded by liars and cheaters. So any official release like his schedule is questionable.

They think we are losers for not stealing money like they do.

8. Are we also paying for a gourmet G.O.P. golffe lunch buffet?

In all likelihood, yup.

You are COMMANDED to pay for the best, so that the G.O.P. billionaire and his buddies can have a super smirk, and a jolly good laugh at your expense. They savor opportunities to mock the hardworking suckers who pay for their republicon luxuries.

9. Is the Bed minster gourmet golf club (r) in the Epstein files?

All my maga friends are asking about this. Every last one. It's a repube obsession.

They all say that it's not a coincidence that the republican golf cheater calls his club "bed-minster."

My maga pals are totally unanimous in believing that that's proof positive that something bigly, badly, and bedly goes on there.
