I was late and didn't catch the full talk. But I've been hit with a taser on a physical assessment. I was pissed until it hit me how close I'd come to being shot.

US national security is literally for sale. I guess the Qatari royal family giving Trump that 747 was a good investment after all...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room.
Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

I know this isn’t the point but is it normal for DHS officials to stay at a Ritz-Carlton on work trips?

Would be ironic if the Trump admin destroys what little is left of civilized rural American life, forcing those who can leave to migrate to suburban/urban areas and altering the political trajectory of the parties
