If memory serves me (usually it doesn't), the cost of buying access in the '80's was $25,000 for a night in the Lincoln Bedroom. Now it's up to $1,000,000 for hanging with the Donald and hunting with his kids ? No wonder my paycheck doesn't seem to go as far as it once did.

Well shoot him an offer, after all he is a reasonable businessman. Personally, I think spending a night in the Lincoln bedroom would be pretty creepy. Joshua Speed's ghost probably floats around in there. |

Hmm, I didn't think that bedroom was for sale until hillary and bill were using that house. But, I don't see much of a connection between the rental of that bedroom and hanging or hunting with the Trumps. But, thats OK. |

What a waste of words and a topic.
I do not know any reasonable sane person who cares one way or the other.
Or anyone who would do either.

I do not know about that, the price of hamburger is almost the same price as steak, well almost..  Been eating a lot of pork, chicken, and turkey over beef the past few years. Near 4 bucks per lb. for decent hamburger is crazy insane pricing. Politics aside, I do not know of anyone who thinks that their dollar goes as far as it did some 10+ years ago. I think besides inflation, the price gouging or markup is insanely high for what you get back in return on most purchases. Just look at the biggie being a house or say a new vehicle. The average price increase, been doing it for years, of a new vehicle is around 3% price increase each and every year, so about 1000 bucks per year on a 30K new vehicle being probably the average median price of a new vehicle nowadays. Some are in low 20's msrp being base, while a lot more are over that 30K mark and some in the 40-50K region fully loaded. Our house built new in 1993 cost us to build 75K, nowadays some 23 years later, would cost double that to rebuild. My parents house they bought in 1971 used some 20 years old or more at the time cost them way back when in 1971 17K, nowadays am sure could sell for 100K with only improvements is new furnace and 2 car added garage with of course newer roof/vinyl siding and new carpet, just the basics done. My dad when alive cringed on why the heck he sold his 1957 chevy he use to have am sure would be worth double or triple of what he paid for it some 50 years or so ago. |

As I understand the story, the idea is still being worked on. The idea is a fundraising idea where the net profits go to Conservation Charities and Non-profits. At this time the "Net Profits" and "Conservation Charities" are yet to be defined. The concept, as it is developing, is confronting some legal hurdles and they are currently finding ways to structure things to stay within the law. It is not a done deal yet. I find it an interesting idea to use Trump's drawing power to help fund things like Conservation groups and Military based non-profits. Far more palatable than padding the campaign war chest. |

You do see the similarity with this and Clinton's Foundation? |

How much would you be caring if Obama was doing it? Still having an issue with reading comprehension I see! No sane person cares either way. |

I see a pattern developing here, not just with this post. It seems the Donald can do no wrong in most members' eyes. It doesn't matter how despicable and crazy it is, it's all good in Trumpland. I daresay the same would not be true if Obama had tried the same things. And my comprehension is just fine. |

I daresay the same would not be true if Obama had tried the same things. And my comprehension is just fine. Not sure why I would have a problem with Pres. Obama lending his name, position and stature to legit charitable causes. The recent effort by the Trump sons to create a conservation charity and have Pres. Trump be the draw for the events to support it does establish some parallels to the structure of the Clinton Foundation. The issue is having the main principal of such an effort in a, or trying to achieve, a high level political position. The ease of corrupting the works is quite easy. I don't have any issues with Pres. Trump or Obama lending his name and stature to currently existing charities and similar organizations to bolster their fundraising efforts and in a manner that is publicly transparent. |

You still do not understand or you are purposefully missing the point. I really do no care which. Even when someone says they do not care it is not enough for you, you must try to make something NOT SAID as a part of a diatribe. Stop misunderstanding others words, purposefully or not. I refuse to discuss this any further with you as it appears the subject is to much of a challenge for you and your present state. Merry Christmas and hopefully a happier New Year. Feel free to post another inane reply, I will not read it or respond. Have fun. |
