Washington Post asks for help identifying Trump's golf partners
Iranian proxies are rocketing the Bab al-Mandab, Pakistain has a new prime minister and government, Islamic State is threatening to immolate women and kiddies, Zim is holding elections, and an Islamic bad guy's been stabbed to death in a Brit prison. This is what's important to WaPo.
[THEHILL] The Washington Post is soliciting help from the public to identify some of President Trump's golf partners on dozens of outings since he entered office.

The Post issued a call Friday seeking tips to identify who might have golfed with Trump on 81 of the 111 days he is believed to have hit the links since becoming president.

Only a few of Trump's golf partners since he has become president are known, a list that includes foreign leaders such as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as well as GOP politicians, Fox News personalities and others.

The Post is asking readers to submit tips regarding specific days during Trump's presidency when he is thought to have golfed with a partner, citing a need for transparency for those whom the president spends hours with in a private setting.

The newspaper cited Trump's propensity to play in private settings away from cameras as a reason why identifying his partners has been so difficult.

"In part this is because Trump chooses to play on courses where he can keep outside observers from seeing what’s going on. That also means that it’s often hard to learn about his partners and, further, to confirm that he was joined on the course," the article reads.

#1  Quick-n-easy smell test: Did they do this when Bathhouse was prexy?

#2  Do they have Obama’s golf partner list to compare to?
Posted by: Airandee || 07/29/2018 7:43 Comments || Top||

#3  Not having paid much attention to the previous White House occupant attention-whore, I suspect his outings - golf and otherwise - were always well documented odysseys in virtue-signalling.

Children and wives are becoming far too foreign to the urban hipster/dykester class to be able to register in their opinion matrix.

#6  #NEWS FLASH# Donald Trump uses golf balls with cores made of a substance banned by the Pro Golf Competition Committee. This #CHEATING# must be investigated! The NYT, WaPo, CNN and MSNBC have dispatched crack teams of investigative reporters to get to the bottom of this outrage.

#1  Democratic socialist: 51% of people voting to enslave the other 49%.
Posted by: Bright Pebbles || 07/29/2018 7:05 Comments || Top||

#2  ...but first they need to get all those guns out the the 49%'s hands.

#3  In one way she is being honest; as Venezuelan like inflation sets in a trillion will equal today’s $100.

#6  If the dumbs are really going to go full socialist taxes to the sky it's the perfect incentive for the GOP to go flat tax. But GOPe will not allow that.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 07/29/2018 8:04 Comments || Top||

#7  Those taxes are redirected to places the establishment benefit from (such as subsidising migration) so the GOPe won't be cutting their welfare state.

#8  She's working hard to get a Republican elected to her district. It may not be possible, but bless her heart she is trying one stupid comment after another.

#9  A prime example of what our colleges and universities have degenerated to...just one good course in economics and one good course in political science and she would have never given that response.

Of course few colleges and universities give "good" courses in either of these subjects anymore.

Anyone care to aske her a question about monetary policy?

#11  Cortez will raise a trillion here, there, and everywhere. EIEIO.

She must be one of those Dreamers Schumer and the Dems refer to.

#12  Sooner or later she'll run out of other people's money.
