No, I'm not government.

Who pays rack rates? The government negotiates rates with a variety of properties. The Secret Service and other government employees should never pay more then the government rate.

You looked at the search parameters I provided and jumped to conclusions rather than doing the search and actually reading something. Thank you for proving that you are a lazy slug.

Trump charged Secret Service ‘exorbitant’ rates at his hotels, records show



Now it's your turn to attempt to deflect attention by disparaging the source rather than addressing the actual information.
First, this has been put to rest by those officials tasked with investigating this, and secondly, what were the rooms like they stayed in? Who gives a shit about rack rate, when there are thousands upon thousands of rooms above that rate. You don't think that rate is surpassed when needed?

Why should Trump lower his prices to "rack rate" when he doesn't have to? Who else charged above that rate?

We need facts junior. Not some dipshit stance that can't be defended.
No link to support your assertions?

So lazy.

And btw, Rack is generally viewed as premium rates which allow you room to discount down from.

Dork.

Can you give us some sort of "proof" of this egregious gouging of the same government you defended for not being able to tell anyone of the five things they accomplished the previous week.
Hey idget. There were news stories about this when it was first discovered back in term 1. I posted about it then, because let’s say I know a little about golf car fleet management, pricing, bringing in additional rental carts from an outside vendor.

And no I won’t help you out a second time. Research it yourself and I’ll help you with the math.
Well, I have vast experience in the Hospitality industry, specifically, high end resorts.

I used to tell guys like you to wash golf balls and man the putting course.

What facts do I need? I was asking Uni St Behar to provide context on his claims. What was everyone else paying at the time of booking. What special accommodations were required.

I'm sure you'd roll out the red carpet and take it in the ass for Trump if he showed up at your place.

This was put to bed by the courts.

Exactly. Just throw out Trump Hotels charged secret service more than rack rate without any context doesn't sound unhinged, especially as nothing has come of it...meaning it was business as usual.

You should have learned this in the pre reqs for Rec Mgmt.

Trump publicly stated he’s in favor of deporting legal citizens.

Regardless, due process is a right to non-citizens regardless of their immigration status. It’s one of the cornerstones of our entire constitution - the part you guys seem to be struggling with.

Those 1st 2 not legal immigrants ie entered the US ILLEGALLY.

So still zero LEGAL immigrants (ie those who entered the US legally) have been wrongfully deported.

No immigrants are being deported, only illegals. The focus is on the felons, but collateral that gets caught in the same net doesn‘t get cut loose to stay, as they have no right to be here.

Your side on this issue is the TDS left. Trump is on the side of the Constitution and 70% of the electorate.
Illegal immigrants are immigrants.

Whatever percentage of the electorate is MAQA yahoo is on trump's side on this. The swing voters are good with sending illegal immigrants home. Will they be they good with sending people whose only crime is coming to the USA for a better life to a 3rd world prison? Will they be good with denying them the opportunity make the case for why they should be allowed to stay? Will they be good with trump using the AEA to send people with tenuous to nonexistent gang ties to a 3rd world prison?WIll they be good with denying the free speech rights of students who protested for Palestinian rights? Will they be good with the trump regime thumbing their nose at the judiciary?

If they're good with using the immigration crisis as justification for denying due process to illegal immigrants what's to say they won't be good with using school shootings to deny 2nd amendment rights to gun owners?

trump needs immigration to be front and center in people's minds because the rest of his administration has been an abject disaster. He's singlehandedly destroyed trillions in American investments and retirement savings. Will his legacy end up being more like Buchanan's or Hoover's?
-Almost all that have been sent to the El Salvador prison are criminal illegal aliens.
-Yes
-Yes, because almost all have gang or criminal ties.

Why did ICE admit to those two being a mistake? Why is SCOTUS ruling against the governments actions.

You are not the arbiter of legal or illegal status. Both cases are debatable as the process was started.

Not that this matters anyway. Rights of due process are extended to ALL people regardless of immigration status.

Things aren’t going well at the Pentagon.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth shared information about US air strikes on Yemen in a second private group on the Signal app, the BBC's US partner CBS has confirmed with sources familiar with the messages.
The messages, sent on 15 March, included flight schedules for American F/A-18 Hornets carrying out strikes on Houthi targets. The group included Hegseth's wife, brother and personal lawyer.
The developments come a week after the existence of another group on the same messaging app was revealed. It discussed sensitive information about military operations.
In a statement to the New York Times - which first reported the second group - the White House said no classified information was shared.

Hegseth's wife, Jennifer, is a former Fox News producer and holds no official position within the Pentagon. Hegseth has previously been criticised for reportedly including his wife in meetings with foreign leaders.
His brother, Phil, and personal lawyer, Tim Parlatore, both hold positions at the Department of Defense. But it is not clear why any of the three would require advanced warnings of sensitive US strike plans.
Unlike the first Signal group, the second one - called "Defense | Team Huddle" - was created by Hegseth, according to the New York Times.

You’re struggling with the “legal” vs. “illegal” status as much as BDK. You’ve been provided with why their deportation is illegal by me, the courts, and every non-maga new source.

I sincerely hope you find your way eventually. :thumb:

If that is the case, the Trump admin can‘t very well be held In contempt for ignoring an order that SCOTUS later ruled the judge didn’t have the authority to order.

The rest is completely apples to pizza comparison.
