And he owns the plane. So he's gotten $1.3M in tax payer money for Secret Service travel expenses mostly at Trump owned hotels or for the company Trump owns that runs his jet.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
However, in Luckey's statement Friday, he says he's a libertarian who plans to vote for Gary Johnson, not Trump, in this next election.

Yeah, he hates staying in hotels, is a notorious germophobe and soft sedentary pampered man.

He's been flying back to NYC to sleep basically every night he can. Let the implications of that sink in-- he's wasting like half his time flying back and forth instead of doing important things like campaign and fundraise and poo poo. He spends half his time on his plane calling into morning news shows, tweeting racist poo poo, and reading news headlines.

He's a very soft, stale cheeto man.

The fact that he's managed to fool about all the bitter white men into believing he's a mighty warrior despite being such a baby is about as astounding as pretty much any of his other claims getting accepted by that group. Talking big is all that matters, I guess.

Yeah, this never ceases to amaze me. It turns out you don't actually have to be "macho" at all to make people think you're an alpha male bad rear end. You can totally be a pampered and whiny billionaire, with a crippling fear of germs, and get away with being "tough" as long as you talk poo poo about Mexicans. It's baffling and sad, and I don't get why his Republican opponents didn't hit on how big a pussy he is.

Laughed IRL, well done. Also, he gets to bill the Secret Service? I kind of assumed they'd just say "You're not getting our protection if you're going to dick around like that" and go home.

Trump is a huge baby but at the moment, his fat coward habits are enormously profitable because he gets to charge the campaign at a generous profit for everything he does from jet fuel, travel for him and the secret service, and pretty much any self dealing he can pull off by purchasing Trump brand goods and services.

Once the numbers come out on the scope of his grift, it's going to be breathtaking, and he never hid a thing from the GOP. They beg him to raise money for them that he then steals

Exactly, the linear regression from Goldwater '64 to today's GOP is straight as an arrow. There was no other path for a party that actively denounced nuance and critical thinking, made sure its followers were self-selected for being incapable of catching on to a con and who reject any non-approved source of information out of hand.

I think it's part of the thinking of a right wing authoritarian that prevents them from giving a gently caress that far in advance. In the same way that modern Republicans pretty much realize climate change is real and terrifying but still don't care because 'that's a problem for my children future generations anyway, besides what about my Exxon stock valuation?' If you could go back to 1964 and sit them down and explain how the party is being set on a course for total destruction, they'd still do the same thing because that's for future Republicans to deal with, besides what about my side business selling seed kits?
