6. It's a way to get around normal procurement requirements

It's a way to get around requesting bids
Not 100% sure about Federal procurement but the rules generally follow the same standards.

Emergency procurements usually are for crashed roofs or crumbled bridges. Things you can't wait for Requests for Proposals or Invitation for Bids. WE NEED IT NOW! Type things.

If that's what they are doing, unless there is some sort of executive waiver, that's really stretching it. Repeated purchases of the same thing as Emergencies should send up red flags.

I still haven't heard how Trump is renting out rooms a Mar a lago above the GSA per diems.

because the article said it was for a "dignitary". He's no dignitary.

Can someone with a powerful camera lens catch him in the act of golfing? Will Lindsay be with him?

How much more of this grifting can we take?

Better to catch him in the act and then make it national news that he went golfing while thousands die, than to have him cancel. Let's be honest, it's not like anything he's doing is actually helpful right now.

The Demo party should buy thems
Spanky the diapered texting infant,
Procure about six of them. Fill them with helium and fly them overhead where ever Spankie goes until election day.

Wouldn't that be a hilarious hoot ?
It would drive Spankie bonkers too.

Attach on to a moving van.

Tie Spankie to the truck bumper and follow trDumpie all over town as he rides in the Beast.

What out for overhead bridges so you don't get tangled up.

trDumpie goes nowhere with out Spankie in sight and in toe.

Well at least Team trDump recognized "THE VERY BAD OPTICS" of golfing on the grave of those inflicted with the Coronavirus.

What else could they do but conceal it...

25. If this concerns POTUS, I have this question: Which state is Washington DC belong to?
Thu Apr 2, 2020, 02:40 PM
Apr 2020

Washington DC is not one of the 50 states. But it's an important part of the U.S. The District of Columbia is our nation's capital. Congress established the federal district from land belonging to the states of Maryland and Virginia in 1790. Washington is in neither Virginia nor Maryland. It is in the District of Columbia, which is the district designated way back when for the Federal Government.

The mayor of DC recently entered a stay-at-home order for residents -- wouldn't that include the orange one in the WH??

What is the penalty for someone who disobeys the order and does not stay at home?

The weeds are up to his mushroom (crotch).

I think they call that - being out in the thick.
A diplomatic way of saying what a lousy golfer without injuring fee-fees.

Like way, way, way off the fairway.

He doesn't need a golf cart,... he needs an off road dune buggie to negotiate the rough.

Go ahead trDumpie,...

MAGA DE LARDO/FATSO is a fine place to play golf. Then invite all your bleached blonde, siloconed fake boobs, botox beauties, Floridah white trash rich friends. Then have dinner, and give each other Coronavirus. Be sure to invite your infected Fascist buddies up from Brazil.

Make sure everyone sneezes and coughs in the bountiful buffet area. Spread the covid virus all around.

And stalling help from getting to us. Any pictures of him playing golf during this will be the last straw for many people . If he's stupid enough to do that anyway he's helping turn the country bluer now. Having a serial liar in charge of a crisis doesn't work well at all. trump is the hoax, the failures are going to devastate this country. Is trump trying to cause a depression?
