Responses:

i have no problem with a President having a private retreat. I don't feel like other Presidents went away practically every weekend. -- nm - Andie Feb 13, 07:57 2
- I agree with this. I think I read that the cost is roughly $7 million every weekend he does this. -- nm - pmb Feb 13, 08:17
- Private is the key. -- nm - volnelk Feb 13, 08:00
I'm not sure I understand your comparison? - ty97 Feb 13, 07:57 14
- Not to mention that they jacked up the membership fee as soon as Trump was elected. -- nm - pmb Feb 13, 08:09
- ah, I didn't know that it was his own property (though I guess I should've assumed that) -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Feb 13, 07:58 12

    - trying not to pay attention to Trump -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Feb 13, 08:02 10
      - To your original intended point. - ty97 Feb 13, 08:03 6
        
        I thought of you when watching SNL this weekend with their comment that the pace of things was out of control - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Feb 13, 08:13 2
        
        L3! great -- nm - Epiphany Feb 13, 08:29
        
        I did love that line -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 08:23
        
        The winter White House should be annexed under eminent domain, and there should immediately be a subsidy program for green fees. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 08:04 2
        
        Mar-A-Lago was government property for years but they decided it was too expensive to maintain and sold it to Trump. - spamlet Feb 13, 08:17 1
        
        Well, they gave it back to the Posts who sold it to Trump. - znufrii Feb 13, 08:19
      - Well, if you succeeded in missing that Mar-a-Lago is his own personal golf resort with a $200k membership fee, well done. Well done. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 08:03 2
        
        Well, it was $125k until he won the election. -- nm - Spawn Feb 13, 08:05 1
        
        Well, the increase is justified because now it's like getting a seat in the situation room. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 08:08
When the president goes to Camp David or their private property, it's not open to anyone who pays admission. -- nm - mara Feb 13, 07:56 1
- Pay-to-play. -- nm - Spawn Feb 13, 07:57
