    Default Sondland, Trump envoy's criticism over $1 million taxpayer-funded home rennovation

    Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union and a central figure in the House impeachment inquiry of President Trump, is overseeing a nearly $1 million renovation of his government-provided residence, paid for with taxpayer money, that current and former officials have criticized as extravagant and unnecessary.

    The work on the ambassador’s home on the outskirts of Brussels includes more than $400,000 in kitchen renovations, nearly $30,000 for a new sound system and $95,000 for an outdoor “living pod” with a pergola and electric heating, LED lighting strips and a remote-control system, government procurement records show.

    The State Department also has allocated more than $100,000 for an “alternate” residence for Sondland for September and October, while work is performed.

    Sondland, a hotel developer and major Trump fundraiser who had no diplomacy background before he was confirmed by the Senate in June 2018, was pivotal to the administration’s efforts to pressure the government of Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political rivals, according to text messages and testimony from current and former officials.

    Who the f*ck do these ugly SOB's think they are. Unworthy sociopaths. No shame, no dignity, no sense of social or moral responsibility, no ethics or self-consciousness whatsoever. A distorted and perverse sense of entitlement.

    How do we cure and eradicate the malignancy that has permeated and attached itself to this country? Holy sh*t!

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    There is no reason for this. Call him back. Put him back on the street.

    For one thing, we can stop believing that wealthy = ethical, principled. We can stop worshiping wealth and those who have it. We can sure as hell stop voting for them for office.

    Not sure about the prices there, but in San Jose a million will get you a 50+ year old house needing some work in a working class neighborhood........
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
