Nice. Donny is going to have a massive war chest to destroy whatever slack jawed idiot the Rats dig up to run against him in '20.

Well I haven't seen the type of funding disparity between the GOP and the Rats prior to Donny showing up. Usually the Rats are swimming in cash while the GOP are holding Lincoln Day ham and bean soup dinners to raise a few pennies.

I convinced my Mother to send her money to starving kids in Africa rather than the RNC, since she wouldn't set it aside for me in a trust fund.

Don't feel bad. I don't think anyone would trust you.

Not sure that has changed. Have not looked into it lately.

Not DNC vrs RNC mind you. But dems have outspent R's overall for ... at least two decades I have been paying attention to such. Party of the rich.

Interestingly though, seems the smelt are ponying up under Trump. That is a good thing...business up front... party in the back.

Hey..as long as it works.

At Mar-a-Lago - so he lines his own pockets while raising money for his reelection. Not that we werenâ€™t warned this was going to happen. But then, who caresâ€¦â€¦.

Shutdown could scuttle Trump's trip to Mar-a-Lago
by Sarah Westwood | Jan 19, 2018, 9:22 AM

President Trump on Friday was reportedly prepared to delay his departure to the Palm Beach, Fla. estate, where he spends many weekends, as Congress scrambles to avert a government shutdown.

Trump was scheduled to leave for Mar-a-Lago on Friday afternoon, according to the White House.

But the president may push back his departure time until the Senate passes a short-term funding bill that will keep the government open past midnight, when government funding runs dry, CNN reported.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment on the delay.

If he played it right...like inviting the furlougees to the party he could rub the Rats face in it... Stage a raft full of haitians washing up on the Lago lagoon and the SS repelling them back to the sea..... Winning!

@mystery-ak
I'm sure he'll invite a few federal workers just to poke a finger in the eye. Maybe he'll pay for the cost of the party himself.

He's not going to let wagging tongues stop him from flippin the bird to his detractors.

One of my fraternity brothers goes to these things with his partner. I think he does it to rattle all the other gay guys in the fraternity.

You're considering the headline as following the same rules as sentence construction. Actually, headlines follow their own rules, carried over from the days of print, where column width was of paramount importance. It takes some getting used to, to read headlines.

You'll notice that the headline is written with the important information up front, and the location is pushed to the end, even though -- as you point out -- it should be earlier for grammar. Instead, a comma could have been used before the "at" to fix the grammar, but the current trend is to try to minimize comma use.

Commas, are frequently, overused, in todays, informal methods, of communication, online and, in writing.
