Domspeak Forums Discussions Off Topic & Politics High Society Party at Mar A Lago Club..

Was anybody here invited to the Mar A Lago Club last night?

I am sorry but there is just something about Trumps Mar A Lago Red Carpet (literally a red carpet) New Years Eve party that makes me cringe.

He literally had all the rich and famous guests including himself introduced as they walked down a red carpet...

Trump is like some ancient Egyptian pharaoh. Of course Musk was there, same as Ted Cruz...All the women were wearing $50,000 gowns.

These rich mummies make me sick. Flaunting all their money, jewelry, clothing etc.. None of them are for the everyday citizen and none of them are humble and down to earth....

Btw,

Is it just me or is anyone else getting sick of watching Elon Musk carrying his little kid on his shoulders everywhere he goes...And he actually named his son X...

These are the people who are gonna be ruling over us...A bunch of wealthy elitists.. With The Orange looking Man as King...(he really should stop with that tanning spray because it's so obvious)

It's interesting how people scream when Democrats have these type of elitist parties but nobody says a word when Trump has them...

I guarantee none of those millions of rally attendees were invited..

I knew I should have not voted and stayed home on election day like I normally do.

Happy New Year.

If this was his private affair, a big so what? When any President has a gala event on the tax payer dollar, it bothers me...a lot. It has always gone on. That doesn't make it right but it is not unique to Trump. Why are you freaking out about this as if it is somehow new or someone's personal events are your business?

Because its bad optics. We became a country and faught a damn Revolutionary War with England because we WOULDN'T accept bowing down to a king and Royalty. I don't care because Trump walks around and acts as if he is Royalty now. I didn't vote for this shit..

There is a lot of symbolism of what Trump is doing and how he is behaving. He worships himself and money. Yeah I like money too like anyone else but I don't worship it... What Trump does and how he lives leaves a bad taste in my mouth. He lives like the Pharohs of Ancient Egypt. He acts like a Roman Emperer. That's how I perceive him.

And yeah his guest list bothers me. It was the everyday average person who got this man elected and probably saved his ass from prison too...

It bothers me because I believe Trump just used us and already he has backtracked on several issues all because he wants to be loved and accepted by these celebrities and politicians...He will never change. Trump was the same way back in the 1980's when he was on page 6 everyday...

Hell he even had Don King (who murdered two people) at this event.

I wouldn't doubt for one second that he probably used what ever was left over from his campaign to pay for it. It wouldn't surprise me in the least..His campaign paid for all his millions in legal fees. Trump didn't use a nickel of his own money.

But whatever. I supported this guy for 10 years and didn't say a word about all his shit or his past because I wanted him to win and wipe out our pathetic government. But I see him doing the opposite. He is already making moves and endorsements that have pissed off his base. Everytime his base wants him to do something like NOT endorse Johnson Trump does the exact opposite.


That's it in a nutshell.

Btw,

Maybe as a lawyer I am automatically skeptical of people to begin with by nature.. Maybe I am good at reading through the lies. It's interesting, I obviously know a ton of lawyers, old and young. Every single one of them are skeptical of Trump. Yeah some voted for him and defended him like myself but we were always still skeptical...The majority of attorneys I know detest Trump.

The first go around I literally detested Hillary so much that I would have voted for Trump ten times if I could....But now I am just tired of defending him....

He has a really long and bad track record of screwing people over...

This is my answer.

I don't care about optics. It is results that matter. As far as Trump spending time with wealthy elite, so what? I didn't vote for him because he might hang out with me. People feel comfortable socializing with people who are of their kind.

In my situation, I grew up in a dichotomy. If people ask where I am from, I don't even know what to say. My parents were from a holler in West Virginia. My dad pulled himself up by his bootstraps and provided a wonderful life for his family in Central, Ohio. I was pulled back and forth between Ohio, visiting family in West Virginia and, eventually, Smith Mountain, Virginia. I spent most of my summers in glorious Penhook, Virginia in our modest vacation spot. Very middle class and beyond wonderful. A truck driver and stay at home mom couldn't do that today. There was a class despondency between the kids in the million dollar homes and kids in the cabin in the campground but we didn't care. Still, I knew it was there. I had a dirt bike, speed boat and everything a kid could dream of. It put me above what my friends in Ohio had but less than what my friends with the amazing vacations homes. I shrugged it off. It was normal to me. But, I knew the difference and when not to be at my wealthy friend's home...like when Elizabeth Taylor and her then politian husband were coming to one of their parties...and I didn't want to be there. This family loved me. I just didn't feel comfortable in high society parties, even at a young age.

Over time and thanks to a fantastic public school system and, later, a private high school, I meet a lot of middle/middle class friends (Like my family) but also just assumed that I would go one to higher education. From my years in IT to becoming a prodom, it took me to upper/upper middle class. There was a shift in people but I naturally adapted.

I knew my comfort range. One of my close friends, who I met on a guided hiking trip is a mega millionaire. We are unlikely friends but take crazy vacations together and leave society behind. I would never want to be at her snooty parties...as in ever. I would never want to hang out with people who can't decide what color Porsche to buy, so they get three or judge people on the quality of their pedicure. I am comfortable with country folk, small town and third world country folk. The people in Guancaste, Costa Rica have the same way of life as my country family upper middle class friends.

That is a lot to say that we are drawn toward the type of people we were born into, not by location but way of life. After my husband, who was a notch above upper middle class passed, it took a few years for me to be open to a relationship. My boyfriend is the opposite of Jack. My boyfriend is a flat out hillybilly. He is a great man who can do anything. If you were stranded on a desert island, this is the man you would want with you. My mother was floored. As successful as he has been in life, he's a NASCAR hillbill. I mean hillybilly, bordering on redneck. I answered back, "Momma, who do you think you raised me up with?" That comment, on it's own, was funny because of the southern slang. She got my point. We know our comfort zones. We hang out with people we can relate to and are comfortable with.

This is quite long but I hope you are still reading and understanding that a lot of Trump voters would rather go to a New England clam bake, Tennessee barn dance or anywhere else than a fancy dinner with 50k gowns.

And the people he endorses like his full page (mostly in all caps) endorsement of Mike Johnson yesterday screws "the people" from here to Christmas.

Whats with the all caps too btw with Trump. Everybody on the planet including kids know you don't write in all caps on any social site....That is very aggravating when he does that...It means the person is screaming...

Everybody uses caps when we want to highlight a specific point (including myself many times) but he will sometimes write 2 pages of all caps....

Maybe because I am a New Yorker I understand Trump better. New Yorkers have been dealing with Trump up close for decades. Even when I was a little kid and went into the city I would think of Trump everytime I saw a skyscraper...Or drove on the West Side Highway....Trumps presence was everywhere...Same thing with Atlantic City.

He was always known as an attention seeker and a conman.

So now I am pissing on everyone's parade I guess.

And he is playing with fire when it comes to Musk.

It took a lot for me to flip on voting for a Republican. Now that it's done, I'm patiently hoping for the best. Trump isn't even in office yet. I agree with Cheyenne that it is meaningless who Trump invites to his parties. If it were a lavish kink event maybe I'd be jealous. As it is, I'm more concerned about the economy, immigration and crime.

All politicians are bullshit. I want the price of building costs and butter to come down. We took our best bet.

"I am more concerned about the economy, immigration and crime"

But the people he has endorsed Like Mike Johnson are responsible for ruining the economy and going against everything Trump suppossedly promised....

People like Elon Musk who Trump endorsed want more Slave working immigration workers that will wipe out jobs for Americans....Totally opposite of what Trump promised....

A bad economy caused by all this Bad spending by Mike Johnson, and hiring of Foreign workers over Americans by Musk will lead to more crime....

And yes I blame Trump for this because these traitors would not be where they are if not for Trump...

There is no excuse for Johnson not being ousted. What is it with the revolving SOTH door with Republicans?

There is a good reason for the H-1B visas. If it was managed as the law was written, it wouldn't be problem. There was supposed to be sixty five thousand allowed in with an additional twenty thousand who have a masters degree or higher. The number allowed in was eight hundred thousand instead. The lottery system is contradicts the very premise of the program being for the best and brightest. Someone pulled Elon back on. I say reform the program to what it should be and fire the people who let it get out of hand. I am happy that it is being talked about now. Perhaps it wasn't so bad that Elon pulled a crazy. It brought light to the situation.

Elon DID NOT pull back on it. He wants more. And that is 800,000 less jobs for Americans with this program.

And this whole line about how we don't have a good educational system particularly on the College level is total bullshit. I actually cant believe how many people on this board alone who have repeated (fell for) that line..(I won't name names)

Does anyone actually believe that Europe, Asia and India have better College systems? Its a lie. I went through our American College System all the way through law school and had no problems...

In fact many of these H-1B Visa jobs are going to foreigners who went to our college system while on student visas....So they were in the SAME classrooms and colleges as the American kids. They are allowed to stay here and work on this temporary Visa program. And they do so for a lot less money than the American worker...That's why these companies love this program... Its modern day slave labor...

Re: Mike Johnson

I would argue that besides the POTUS the Speaker has the most powerful position in Washington...All of this inflation is NOT just because of Biden its also because Mike Johnson did this too...Nothing got done without Mike Johnsons approval.... So he caused this...

And Trump endorsed this bastard which makes Trump just as bad...

Btw,

I haven't even mentioned Elon Musk's two gigantic factories in China for Tesla....Staffed by Chinese workers.....How is this bringing American Jobs back home for Americans? It is the exact opposite of what Trump has been yelling about in his Carnival Barks the last ten years..

People have totally underestimated Musk's influence on Trump which will hurt the American people....I believe Trump was bought off by the 200 million Musk donated to him....

Trump even admits how his whole life he "has been greedy and loves money" I will take him at his word.

But we will see I guess.

The last I heard on Elon is that he wants the program majorly reformed. I do not believe it should be shut down. We deserve a clear outline of the plan before passing judgement.

When it comes to education, at any level, it is a two way street. It isn't as much about the educational system as it is the willingness of the student. There are people coming into the hospital on every level of jobs that do are not qualified to be there. We get a mix of immigrates who cannot communicate with patients and US born young people who don't care. The devoted personnel outweighs the bad. It is noticeable on both sides. Most of our doctors and specialists are foreign. I know how they got here or if they took jobs away from white medical graduates. The ratio is noticeable. I assume we need them.

Johnson will come back to stab Trump's agenda in the back. It's a given. I'm guessing that the Republicans that voted for Johnson are protecting their jobs. I'm on board with you there. This was a Trump screw up.

I do not believe that Elon should be judged as the second coming of Satan until we hear his side or see his actions. I've come not to believe MSM's selective stories.

Re: Elon Musk and MSM's selective stories

I do not watch or follow any network really... In fact I came up with that whole antichrist stuff myself. Literally....I had this religious stuff brainwashed into my head since I was a child.

But it makes a lot of sense about Elon and the antichrist thing now as I get older...Of course many people fit the description but I have never seen anyone fit it better than Musk or Trump even....

It may sound weird or far fetched to some but I just don't trust Musk....

As far as Trump goes, his judgement and selection/endorsements of people sucks big time.

Out of all his picks so far, the only one's that I really like are Tom Homan (awesome pick) and Kash Patel another awesome pick...

But all these other picks I shake my head.

Hulk Hogan?
Hershal Walker?
Pam Bondi (total swamp)?
Matt Gaetz originally (top cop) LMAO
His Son in Laws father a convicted felon as ambassador?
The writer of the Apprentice an Ambassador?
14 Billionaires in the cabinet?
Marco Rubio Secretary of State (third highest position)?

Where are we going with this crew?

Gaetz could not have been a sincere pick. Something had to be up with that.

When it comes to his father in law being a convicted felon, I don't take that label seriously any more. Think about it. You and I both voted for one. The legal system has lost it's credibility.

Homan and Patel are excellent choices. I like Hershal. What harm can he do as an Ambassador to the Bahamas. I'm jealous.

If you don't mind, can you explain the objective you have to billionaires?

Re: Billionaires

These 14 Billionaires are personal friends of Donald Trump. Including NYC Real Estate Tycoon Steve Witcoff..

Everything just screams of Nepatism..

Just this morning Trump announced the nomination of yet another FOX News host to his administration Tammy Bruce...She will be with Rubio in the State Department...

I looked at her credentials. A B.S. in political science. My credentials blow hers away. Just saying.

Btw,

All Billionaires are greedy by default... God only knows how anything can happen with these phoney ambassadorship positions...Most of them are gigantic money making schemes....
