    Ha, look who's whining. Your guy gets caught raiding the cookie jar one last time and you won't even admit it. Instead you start making up imaginary crap about Trump who hasn't even been sworn in yet. Give us links to factual info about what Trump's vacations are going to cost or just forget about it. Making up fiction about Trump just makes you guys look like stupisd sore losers.

    Can you substantiate your statement with factual information?

    It is logical. Much in the same way that protecting someone in Plantation Estate, Florida White House, Camp David or Prairie Chapel Ranch is much cheaper and easier than protecting someone living in one of the most densely populated, narrow streeted areas in the world.

    Got sources for information besides three stooges who work in the hyperliberal New York de Blasio regime? Got a "news" platform besides CNN, which is almost as nauseatingly liberal as MSNBC? Pardon me if I don't "belly up to the bar" to consume this crap cooked up by people who hate Trump's guts, and who would say or do anything to try to hurt him....

    There's absolutely NO sense of fairness or decency in the radical Democrat ranks. At least we on the Right gave Obama several months to see what he was, and what he would do before we were outraged. You Leftists decided to go "hot" with everything but fixed-bayonets from the moment it was announced that your corrupt, criminal old bag, who you wanted so much as Obama's "Third Term" LOST the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing election!

    Hey, maybe all of you should move to Hawaii! Obama will probably proclaim himself king over there during this incredibly long vacation, and if he did, the rest of you lemmings would swarm to where you could bask in his glow once again... provided somebody pays your way over there, and then puts you welfare once you arrive.... :smile:

    Do you think that the cost of protecting Trump and his family while in New York is zero? Perhaps you have a figure in mind. Go on, state what figure you would accept as not a "you hate Trump's gut" figure

    I wouldn't put it past the party of true racism, to try rewriting history and attach their racist behavior on the party that voted to abolish slavery.

    Grow up! The right wing noise machine just couldn't stand a black man beating them at their own game....TWICE! He did it winning the electoral and the popular vote. The right wing screamed bloody murder from day one and try to obstruct the man at every turn...and yet he kept the failures of the previous administration from further decimating the country.

    Go ask the auto industry if they agree with you....I suggest you it from a fast moving car.

    Just to be clear.
    George W. Bush: a record-smashing 879 days on vacation, including 77 trips to Crawford, TX plus many more to the family compound in Maine. Each trip requiring AF1, helicopters, the full presidential motorcade, hundreds of Secret Service and support staff. No problem.
    Dick Cheney: $$tens of $$millions spent on keeping the VP in "undisclosed locations", which some of which later turned out to be vacation homes and hunting resorts. No problem.
    Donald Trump: expected to incur $$hundreds of millions in additional security expenses, due to his refusal to move his family into the White House. And staffers suggest that he'll be dividing his time between Washington, NYC, and Florida, each trip requiring AF1, helicopters, the full presidential motorcade, hundreds of Secret Service and support staff. No problem.
    President Barack Obama: Less vacation time than any president since Jimmy Carter, family living in the White House - THE HORROR! HOW DARE HE GO ON VACATION! HE DOESN'T GET TO DO THAT!
    Yeesh.

    Thank you for your reply. It is interesting that since the Bible doesn't mention it, it's quite possible that Jesus could have looked like Mike Pence.
    I now understand why many churches in the Midwest have a picture of Jesus as a white dude with long hair. I am also amused with the White Jesus theory.
    Kinda makes some of the white Franklin Graham logic a bit more tolerable for his followers to ingest.

    Stick it to the people one last time.
    Honestly...30 days or so left, and you need another vacation? This guy can't be gone soon enough.

    That would be the exiting POTUS that the most recent Rasmussen poll shows at 58% Approval/ 40% Disapproval and the extent to which that was reflected in 65,756,948 Americans voting for Clinton, as opposed to the 62,913,088 who voted for Trump?

    It's curious how hyper-partisanship can seriously impair one's arithmetic sensibilities.

    After putting so many Americans to work, a guy has earned a vacation.

    Nationwide, the unemployment rate fell to a nine-year low of 4.6% in November, as employers added 178,000 jobs.

    Largest popular votes in US history:

    1) Barack Obama, 2008. 69.5 million
    2) Hillary Clinton, 2016. 65.7 million
    3) Barack Obama, 2012. 65.5 million

    Worst second place finish by an electoral vote winner: Donald Trump, 2016. Lost by 2.8 million votes.

    Aw, c'mon, Natty. I have to tell the lunkheaded Millennials that if they don't like the way the Electoral College provision in the Constitution of the United States works that they should get organized and have it amended instead of just whining and (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing about it. But surely I don't have to tell you that.

    If future generations of voters will be satisfied with only about four of the fifty states determining the winner of every election, then so be it -- so long as this is done legally! Amending our Constitution will make that possible, for better or worse. Everything else is just ineffective, poor-loser noise.... You and I know this, because we are members of a generation that actually received a pretty damned good education, which is more than nearly all of today's "adult children" got in public schools. :roll:

    I have NO idea what protection for Trump and his family is going to cost, and neither do you! :omg: Trump won't even take the Oath of Office until noon on January 20th....

    Speculation about it is pointless and an utter waste of time. Instead, why don't we speculate on what this lovely, luxurious, l-o-n-g Hawaiian vacation that the Obama-mob is enjoying right now is going to cost the American people? Obama and his family have enjoyed long, sumptuous vacations in Hawaii on a number of occasions during this two terms in office, sometimes involving complicated arrangements involving multiple aircraft, so at least we could make an intelligent guess, based on the very real, very calculable experiences in his past! Not so anxious to speculate about that...? No surprise.

    So you have no idea but state that the figures from the New York mayor are wrong ! He is talking about the cost now, not when Trump takes office. Protecting Obama is his isolated accommodation in Hawaii is much easier, hence cheaper, than protecting someone in one of the crowdiest places in the world. Much in the same way that protecting someone in Florida White House, Camp David or Prairie Chapel Ranch is much cheaper and easier than protecting someone living in one of the most densely populated, narrow streeted areas in the world. Perhaps you refuse to use logic.

    During the 2016 fiscal year, Obama visited New York four times and overtime costs totaled $4.1 million, according to the city’s Independent Budget Office. That does not include the costs to the secret service

    Obama in 2008.....it should have been a clue as to how much he would lie:

    You have to understand that if you seek that office, then you have to be prepared to give your life to it. Essentially, the bargain that I think every President strikes with the American people is, 'you give me this office, then in turn my fears, doubts, insecurities, foibles, need for sleep, family life, VACATIONS, leisure, is gone. I am giving myself to you.'

    I'm OK with this, think about it Hawaii? What better place for America to say aloha, that is, not the traditional island greeting but the more contemporary good riddance!!!!!!

    What a snipe! What is the lovingly close relationship between your wonderous President Jive-time (and his wife) and adoring, ass-kissing, hyperliberal TV shows?! You know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see Donald Trump on that daytime "menstruation hut" TV show called, "The View". I'd like to see him go in there and give those hyperlib (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)es a "view" of the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing REAL world -- especially that High Priestess of self-righteousness, Caryn Johnson (a.k.a., "Whoopi Goldberg") . Hell, I'd pay good money to watch that, even if I also had to watch long segments of nauseating commercials for gold, accident lawyers, wonder drugs, and free crap from the government....

    On topic, an afterthought.... now that Obama's declared war on Vladimir Putin (without any proof of wrongdoing), I wonder what our stalwart President Red Line would do if he looked up from the oceanside Hawaiian golf course he's playing today and sees this --
