As GOP members of Congress flooded social media with photos of the inaugural dinner at the White House Rose Garden Club, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) denounced the lavish display in light of the unsteady economy.
Our economy is in a downward spiral, but dont worry the @GOP are spending their time cheersing Diet Cokes at a new, exclusive club.'
Newsom retweeted House Speaker Mike Johnsons (R) post from the event, where he wrote, The grand opening of the new Rose Garden Club at the White House last night was epic. Thanks to @realDonaldTrump for his hospitality & visionary leadership.
The dinner was held on the same day that disappointing job numbers pointed to a slowing economy and refueled talk of recession.

They're probably leftover inventory from the cancelled donald trump furniture collection. But I bet the DNA from the strands of hair caught in the velcro cushion straps could solve a cold case or two somewhere.
No decor on the patio. No trellises. No art. No potted plants.
And the food. Were the Big Macs even made today?
That patio looks like how our country is being run.

(99,409 posts)God knows what their task is for the evening I suspect this is Trump showing off his Commander in Chief creds by using them for props.

At first I refused to believe they were actually Navy, since I'm not really up on uniforms, but it sure looks that way.

Another thought which crossed my mind was that the VP's official residence is on the grounds of the Naval Observatory, so his security detain might very well include Navy .... maybe Turnip just ordered them to play attendant at the WH instead ??? Gotta have some abuse with our waste and fraud, I guess.

"They'll get it all from you sooner or later 'cause they own this f**kin' place.
It's a big club and you ain't in it.
You and I are not in the big club."
