I guess you guys are all a lot richer than me. $174K seems like enough to maintain 3 households before you even get to the generous expense accounts.

Where? Upper Michigan, lower Alabama?

Low 6 figures is easily an early to mid career role in many industries for white collar work.

3 households? How much do you think a house in the DC area costs? That's just enough for one household lol.

Average home price in DC according to Zillow was 582k.
Redfin has the median home price in September at 675k.

The greater metro area probably has a floor of around 350-400k I'd guess for a very simple starter home.

I'm in the burbs of the burbs of the burbs of DC and my home price has shot up since I bought it in 2020 by about 50%, which is insane.

They don't have to buy a house in DC though, they can rent, and use their generous MRA to cover that.

Congress Critters can also take advantage of the Tax Break(s) provided by IRS Publication 463.

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p463.pdf

We used this on the SSBN Submarines having two crews ( We called it the FBM Deduction). As our Tax Home assignment was the submarine but when the opposite crew took it to sea we had no home. This allowed us to take tax deductions while being away from the submarine "Tax Home" while the other crew had it on patrol.

Wtf! ... Trump just standing there staring into space ignoring the fallen man ...Was it his dementia or just his usual sociopathy?

This guy had other people opening his doors for him his entire life. He just waits for an underling to remove whatever is pissing him off - including an ill, unconscious guest in his office!

Get grandpa his chair.

And ... Her's Trump sound asleep at his presser

See Every Angle of President Trump, 79, Falling Asleep During Press Conference

The aging president just couldn’t stay awake during a press conference about drug prices.

www.thedailybeast.com

Lol! ...He looks like my great grandpa after Thanksgiving dinner!

Trump's Weekend at Bernie's moments happening more often. If he didn't sleep during daytime meetings, he wouldn't be able to rage Tweet at 3 am. Where is the non-stop media coverage of "Sleepy Don"? Falling a sleep at press conferences during the day, While rage tweeting his nonsense in the middle of the night while normal working people are sleeping.

"Sleepy Don ...The Nodfather"!

That 3 am rage posting is a tough gig!

Trump: - "So I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now we are much less now"

Donald Trump: "I don't want to hear about the affordability"

Voter concern about inflation and the cost of living helped deliver Trump the presidency for a second time.

www.newsweek.com

Lol! Just yesterday Trump was claiming 'affordability' was a new word Republicans weren't talking about enough. One day later he doesn't want to hear the word affordability anymore? From day to day he has no idea what he is saying.

Some old fat guy who's never looked for a job, never missed a meal, never wondered if he'd miss a meal, never ate anything that wasn't exactly what he wanted....this old fat guy is lecturing Americans who struggle to put food on the table? Trump doesn't want to hear about your hardship when he has party's to throw and marble bathrooms and ballrooms to attend to.

Trump voter: - Help us, groceries are so expensive!

Trump: - No, you're wrong!

Actually, I think that’s a great platform for the GOP: - everything is affordable, so shut the fuck up about it!

Trump November 2024: "I will lower grocery prices on DAY ONE!"

Trump November 2025: "I don't want to hear any more about AFFORDABILITY!"

lol!

Trump seems to think that US taxpayers money is HIS money. And yet he's using this country to make money.

As we all know Trump picks the very best people to work for him. Here is an example of their brilliance in play:

DHS head reportedly authorized purchase of 10 engineless Spirit Airlines planes that airline didn’t own

Wall Street Journal reports Kristi Noem arranged purchase to expand deportation flights and for personal travel

He smelled some Tylenol and thought the dude came down with a sudden case of autism, and it's clearly contagious.

Families fear speaking out, governments in the region have said little publicly and the Trump administration has not disclosed the names of the dead.

Trump wants new NFL stadium in Washington named after him

Trump wants Commanders' new $3.7B stadium named in his honor: report

President Donald Trump has expressed interest in having the Washington Commanders name their proposed $3.7 billion stadium in his honor, according to a report.

wchstv.com

Lets call it the Trump/Epstein stadium!, Pedoland Park? The New Orange Bowl? Losers and Suckers Field? Unaffordability Stadium? I Bankrupted A Casino Arena? Felon Field? just to name a few.

I'm assuming this will be the first NFL stadium built out of marble and gold gilding.

He's a bottomless well of neediness. He's might be trolling the NFL. He never got over being denied ownership of an NFL franchise. The NFL should continue telling Trump to get bent. I hope they keep up that tradition.

That's a very positive spin.......

I guess one thing people can say with a straight face is Trump's undeserved ego is boundless.
