December 3, 2024 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

The Hill reports:

President-elect Trump’s team outlined the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee benefits for donors over the Jan. 20 weekend, which include a reception with Cabinet picks, a Sunday service and the inaugural ball.

In a benefits outline obtained by The Hill, the team highlighted that committee members who give $1 million or raise $2 million receive six tickets to access exclusive inaugural events between Saturday, Jan. 18, and Monday, Jan. 20, the day of the swearing-in.

The schedule was released to donors Monday, and there is a Jan. 10 deadline to RSVP, according to the benefits outline. It includes five tiers of benefits and the cost of hotels in Washington are not included.

Read the full article. The lowest tier offers only two ball tickets for a $500,000 donation. You will recall that millions of dollars went unaccounted for after Trump’s first inauguration................

1. You couldn't pay me enough to attend.

I’d sign the check over to the American Cancer Society, and order Thai to go at my brother’s place in Langley.

[leftyladyfrommo]

15. Doesn't that sound like a really fun time?

Nothing quite as fun as a bunch of rich old fat guys searching for a fertile young female.

[DFW]

23. I actually had the honor of seeing that close up in Washington once

It was around 2005 or 2006. I was in DC, and my two daughters (then about 20 and 22) were with me. Two middle-aged guys--no idea of their political affiliation, but from their behavior, I suspect Republican--saw me with one daughter on each arm, and said, "hey, what are you doing with two of them? Let us have one!" I got the distinct impression they weren't quite joking--more like testing the water to see if they had a chance. It was in the K street area, since my younger daughter was interning for EMILY's List. Now, my daughters are nice-looking young women, but it was not the kind of compliment any of us were looking for.



Definitely the kind of "celebration" I find easy to skip.

[FarPoint]

2. I always thought it was an invitational style Ball.

I never knew they had to pay high dollar for the Inauguration Ball. Is this just a tRump thing or has it always been a pay to attend event?

[Think. Again.]

26. I have the same question...

I always thought the President-elect just had a (very) nice party to thank donors and supporters, etc, I never heard of anyone having to pay a door charge for it.

[Omnipresent]

33. When your as cash poor as trump is...

You need to stick it to someone.
That “someone” might as well be his donors!

[Dem2theMax]

3. And 95% of it goes straight into his personal pocket.

Can't say what I'm thinking. Can't say what I'm thinking. Can't say what I'm thinking...

[Irish_Dem]

16. I can't say what I am thinking about what men get for paying $2million to go to a party.

[Blue_Tires]

37. Donnie is strictly pay-for-play, so they'll write it off as a business expense

👎

[Irish_Dem]

38. There will also be a few fringe benefits.

[underpants]

32. In 2017 huge payments were made to friends for almost no actual work

One if the payments was to a friend of Melania who had just established the business a month before. I think it coordinated seating or some other rental item.

[Emile]

4. and MAGAts boast he works for free.

[pfitz59]

5. I was offered tickets to one of George H W Bush's inaugural balls

I declined. I wonder if Trump will have a MAGAt Ball for the peons.

[Buns_of_Fire]

6. I hope he's still got the tuxedo he wore to meet the Queen.

Two million is out of the question, though. Give me five million and I'd consider it, so long as I don't have to sit anywhere near Bob, Pete, Kash, or Margie the Kook.

[Think. Again.]

27. You would be willing to financially support trump?

That's weird.

Do you donate to him a lot?

[Scrivener7]

7. If only we had laws and a governmental department

whose job it was to prevent graft like this.

But he got away with it last time and now it's just business as usual. Prepare for pillaging on an unprecedented scale.

[sop]

19. The grift will increase one hundredfold this time around.

[Meowmee]

8. Wealthy crooks getting in on the grift and espionage etc.

[BigmanPigman]

9. In 2016 I made reservations then canceled at the

last minute. Basically, I wanted to screw tRump's dinner party ao I called the restaurant that was the place he was going to have his dinner and made reservations for several tables...

And to my surprise there were tons of reservations still available only a few days after it was announced. I ended up canceling them at the last minute so I wouldn't have to,pay a cancellation fee.

[SorellaLaBefana]

10. The same price as he (reportedly) was offering pardons for at the end of his last Administration

Do find myself thinking that might be why tRump is *supposedly* so Shocked and Upset by President Biden's predictable pardon of his son: Which Biden did for FREE, when he could have sold it for cash?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

11. Entertainment will be "One Vision of Queen" tribute band.

Tickets, which usually go for $40-$85 dollars, will be marked up to $50,000-$100,000 paid directly to "Donald J. Trump, 47th President."

[Martin Eden]

12. The Fascist Grifter

Gonna grift.

[Montauk6]

13. Think of it as an elaborate sting operation...

It'll give us a glimpse of some of the high-rolling mucky-muck oligarchs who run this fantasy land known as Murrrkkka.

[Think. Again.]

28. Yes, if only we had criminal investigators that wanted to set up a sting.

But we haven't had a justice dept. for a long time now.

[The Madcap]

14. I would go

If the price were 2 cents. Not a penny more.

[Think. Again.]

29. Why?

[Turbineguy]

17. It's not a donation

it's an investment.

[Paladin]

18. If you're surprised by this, you haven't been paying attention. (nt)

[rambler_american]

20. I wish I had enough money for tickets

so I could spend it on something worthwhile.

[Vinca]

21. Guess those average working-class folks who voted for him because he was "just like them" will be out in the cold.

Literally. They can stand across the street from the ball venue and watch billionaires walk in and out.

[rurallib]

22. he will wring every nickel out of this go round that he can

I only hope that he fucks over his family when he craps out and leaves them high and dry.

Maybe he will leave it all to Putin. That would be a great joke

[tanyev]

25. $2 million to watch Donny rock from side to side while a DJ plays YMCA.

If you’re so wealthy you can essentially fling two million dollars into a garbage bin, you can certainly come up with much better ways to spend several hours of your time.

[Think. Again.]

30. oh, attendees are hoping for MUCH more than that for their money.

[tanyev]

31. Many people have hoped for a big return on something they've given to or done for Trump.

Nearly all of them have regretted it, sooner or later.

[Think. Again.]

34. I agree, ain't it great?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

35. For the Dinner? COLD Mickey D's, KFC, and Diet Cokes.

NO thank you!

Musical entertainment.....Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

[Initech]

36. If Biden sold tickets for that much, MAGA would be drawing up impeachment papers on Jan. 21st.

There is no bottom for them.
