Mike Pence wasted nearly $250,000 of taxpayer money on a political stunt

[Helden]

So we all know that Mike Pence left the 49ers game in his disgust over the disrespect shown by several NFL players to the American Flag (despite the fact that kneeling during the national anthem has NOTHING to do with disrespecting the flag or the troops or whatever other nonsense the Trump administration pulled out of their ass to distract from their seemingly endless failures).

What we may not have known however, is that the whole stunt was pre-planned ahead of time, with the resident Dotard in Queef spilling the beans via his prefered shit-posting platform:

In fact, a member of Pence's staff told the reporter travelling with them not to bother entering the stadium since there is a "chance" the VP will be leaving early. And by "chance" he of course meant 100% guarantee since Pence was attending a pre-planned fundraiser (probably for Trumps legal fees again) in LA, which he could not have made to in time had he stayed to watch the whole game.


This little pre-planned stunt of course ended up costing $ 242,500 OF TAXPAYER'S MONEY. A whole $200,000 more than it would have cost to simply fly from Vegas to LA.


Don't you just feel relieved that amidst all the chaos and turnmoil the country is going through. The natural disasters, the very real possibility of a nuclear war with North Korea.. no, this administration has its priorities straight: draining the treasury, wasting taxpayer money and challenging secretaries of state to IQ test battles...

He went home. That's not a waste to go back to where you live.

 

[weed]

it's all about dollars & Pence

He went home for a few hours.

He went home for a few hours.

Can you find sources that say that is true?

He had a 6:30 campaign event in California. The President himself said he told Pence to do this. It's quite obvious the 49ers would kneel. The media was tipped off well before the stunt.

Do you consider this stunt a waste of a quarter of a million dollars of taxpayer money? That is, without talking about Obama's vacations....

Wrong on 3 levels:

1: No threat of NK nuclear war at this moment
2. Not a waste of tax payer money as now Roger Goodell, the President/CEO of the NFL has backed down and said that the protests are dividing the country, they accomplished what most who voted them in for wanted in this situation and kept the country from being divided.
3. The chaos and turmoil is being handled excellently minus one Puerto Rican mayor’s awful opinion

4. bonus- the treasury has been drained from democratic spending with im guessing you were fine with.

All Americans should be pissed off at this. When it's all said and done I think that the Trump administration will have wasted tons of money on cheap political bullshit like this.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

I'm all for not providing security or keeping these federal fucks on lock-down. Who's with me?

 

[ShadowRun]

If he stayed the whole game would that been a waste of tax payer money?

Two gimmick accounts could it be more obvious. SAD!!

 

[K1levelgrappler]

250k is a bargain.

Trumpsters would happily blow 250 million to scratch their itch for identity politics.

 

[M3t4tr0n]

Thats 250k we could have invested in Mar a Largo or sent to Israel.

Iran would be better

 

[kenetics]

When will people get it through their thick skulls that the American flag means different things to different group of people.

I'm sure Natives Americans and especially blacks have a different outlook on the flag meaning lol.

 

[M3t4tr0n]

Could be a small down payment on a new golf course. Lots of sand traps tho.

 

[EvilRyu]

illegal immigrants are the biggest waste of money

They're supposed to be civil servants. Do servants typically get to watch football games from a skybox?
