#1 More evidence of the spread of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Er huh.... This link will take you to the 2017 Congressional Calendar.

POTUS appears to be fully engaged, working long hours, and getting things done. He did support your bullshi* ethanol subsidies and blended fuels mandate. You were happy with him then.

Can't you find someone else to feed those pigs?

#2 It terrible all those K-Street hustlers have to travel down to Florida to turn their Congresscritter there visiting the southern White House for dinner.

#3 Trump may well think that his security and privacy are more reliable at Mar-a-Lago than at the White House.

Routines and predictability are not your friends.

#5 President Obama played on the weekends, and frequently during the week as well, in addition to his frequent vacations. President Trump works during the weekend, off-site and in casual clothes -- a big difference. Witness his recent hosting of the leader of China and his wife at Mar-a-Lago, who were charmed by the Trump grandchildren singing to them in Mandarin. Both the weekend get-away and the singing were gushed over in the Chinese press, so that counts as diplomacy, not excess overhead.

Is the honourable senator a Never-Trumper?

#6 Called one of the many Joni Ernst Iowa offices and asked the feller who answered if Ms. Ernst has abolished Zero Care or secured our borders. The feller said he would have to get answers on that. I told him the answer is no and until Ms. Ernst finally gets something done in D.C. to stop running her mouth about Trump.

#7 I would prefer he didn't spend a lot of time in DC and become institutionalized. (Intelligence term for an asset that spends too much time in country and starts developing too much affinity for the place he is in)

Maybe the senator should stop inhaling furious amounts of lobbyist dick in DC and get out a bit more.

#9 The visits have stirred controversy, in part because of the enormous costs associated with such frequent travel.

I'm willing to bet that a search of The Hill's archives would show five or less articles complaining about Obama's 'enormous' travel costs. Naturally, this is only a problem when a Republican is in office.

#11 It's not bullshit, it's This Week's Media Meme. Expect to read stories about this everywhere. At least until the next media squirrel jumps up.
