Melania Trump made a rare political appearance at Mar-a-Lago - while the Donald had a weekend away from the resort at one of his golf courses in Virginia. The first lady was the headline attraction at a Republican fundraiser at the Palm Beach property on Friday night. Palm Beach County GOP chairman Michael Barnett was forced to fork out $150,000 to rent the ballroom from Trump, and about 700 tickets to the dinner were then sold for a minimum of $300. The event is expected to raise about $300,000. Melania only appeared for a few minutes during a pre-dinner VIP event, which was also attended by Florida Governor Rick Scott (left with two guests), as well as a host of other state Republican officials. A picture of Abraham Lincoln wearing a Make America Great Again hat was included on all of the photos taken with the First Lady. Meanwhile, Trump (right) stayed close to the capital for the weekend to play yet another round of golf. Pictures posted on social media (top right and bottom right) show him sat watching the sport on TV with two others while wearing his trademark red hat.

to see how i'll handle it after i figure out it's empty

i was trying to sell this restaurant owner a social media and website package where we'd keep their facebook and yelp pages updated as well as use targeted advertising campaigns to push his places to the top of search results, plus keep them up to date on the various payment and ordering methods out there (sounds simple enough to do yourself but in big cities it can actually suck to try to dig yourself out of bad social media publicity) and i'm trying to pitch this guy who owns a small chain of like 8 pizza places.

he keeps me waiting for 45 minutes past our scheduled time, and loving STARES at me when I reach for the water jug. I think I just said "oh the waters empty, is there any more?" but the dude nodded his head like I'd presented him with the first formula for fire

it's some dumb bullshit powerplay he read about in an introductory sales class

I'm still not understanding visually what is going on or what it is supposed to accomplish.

Do they just plunk down one of these

well i totally hosed up the point by saying "jug", but the guy I'm talking about set an empty water pitcher on the table because he apparently wanted to see what I'd do if I reached for the water and found it was empty; I wouldn't have thought twice about it but he started staring at me as soon as I reached for it, and then seemed very impressed that I asked for more water; like strong nodding and smiling and then being much more receptive with what I had to say

it's the kind of very stupid "power play" that people make when they're faking being Good Negotiators and trying not to come across as cheap/ignorant, instead of just saying "I don't think I should spend as much money as you're asking" or "I need you to inform me about this subject" or other basic objections

Playing the Warcraft 3 version of DotA on the astral plane of politics, spirit fingers of eight limbs sheathed in gold light each clicking furiously at an extremely polished gold plated mouse to execute commands throughout time, a counterharmony to the echo of the Big Bang and reshaping history's dense curvature into a honeygold wave, our collective perception pulls back to reveal that the fundamental shape of the universe's very foundations is no less than that of Trump's very coiffure, and we are all merely his dandruff

Guys, I'm sorry about bringing this dumb cartoon up again, but a few things were bothering me, so I took it down to the lab and ran a few tests.

As I suspected, there were several issues with the trump character.

The "sexual fantasy" slider was set at 260%, which is ridiculous. values over 100% have no effect, and I had to enter windowed mode so I could move the program left, in order to get access to the slider, which protruded about 3 inches out of the interface. I set it at 0%.

Other values that had to be corrected were:

Age:.....................................set to 70.
Physical activity:.................set to 0%
Diet:.....................................set to [fast food, meatloaf, incinerated steaks, catsup]

After adjusting these values, the computer generated this new image.
