    You know, that fundraiser where it was a quarter of a million to get in and Lizzo performed.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      They probably had grass and dyed roots, so true. Sort of.

        Which is par for the course of this administration.

          $187 Million? Wow, Hunter must have had to paint 29 pictures to raise those kind of funds!

              Good thing President Trump would never do such a thing.

              Ooops - my bad.

              A high-dollar fundraiser Saturday to benefit former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party has raised $43 million so far, a source familiar with the details told CNN.

              The event, the first major fundraiser for Trump and the Republican National Committee since he became his party’s presumptive presidential nominee, will have 100 attendees.

              I am not a mathtician, but USD$43MM/100.......

              Per the updated invitation, the price tag for the fundraiser ranges from $250,000 per person for those who serve on the “host committee” to $824,600 per person to serve as a “chairman.” Perks for those contributing at the top level include dinner seating at Trump’s table.

                This was already my known, TG, and was the point of the Biden tweet. George’s (and many other commentators) point was that Biden was doing so as well. Trump’s single event was larger, but let’s not pretend that Biden’s donations are coming from poor people giving their last $5…

                  Biden is basically a cult leader.

                  Education is extremely important.

                    And that is precisely the point. For Biden/Harris to talk about "grass roots support" in the context of a Trump fundraiser is silly.

                      Most of the people that he leads don't even care if he exists.

                      They just hate Mr. Trump.

                      With no room in their heads for any other thoughts.

                        Maybe this should be filed in two of this forum board threads: "Biden Lies" and "Trump Lies".

                        Standard by candidates to try and make themselfs seem as though they are just an ordinary guy.

                              There's only a "Biden's Lies" thread here is because of some members commenting on Trump being a serial liar.

                              He may be that, but POTATUS shouldn't get a pass, amirite?
