I don’t want to hear another damn word about “draining the swamp.” Ever.

The annual salary for a congressman or senator is $177,000 per annum. A very nice salary, commensurate with the type of money they deserve, but less than most of these public servants would make working outside the government. It would take Adam Schiff nearly four years of salary to afford one ticket to Donald Trump’s fundraising dinner tonight.

The ticket price to the swampiest event in all time is $580,000 to dine with Donald Trump tonight. Forty people have the opportunity.

Purely by chance, $580,000 matches the amount of money that I would pay to get out of dinner with Trump on any given night.

Billionaire Nelson Peltz is hosting the fundraiser, which has a ticket price of $580,000.

The White House pool reporter says the campaign expects to raise $10 million from 40 people at the fundraiser.

Wait.

Hang on. Lemme get my …

We will make it a story problem, like in grade school, 40 Morons in Red hats pay $580,000 per ticket, assuming all tickets are sold, how much money will the dinner bring in?

Answer = $23,200,000.00

They hope to “raise” $10 million? I am starting to understand why the Trump’s sound so stupid. They never went to school.

Unless they are planning on having gold glazed Komodo dragon for dinner, or plan to dine in a lodge at the top of Mt. Everest, I see a problem here.

Eh, what’s $13 million pocketed off the top for the “Don,” amirite? Must just be the “grease” to get him to really show up. You didn’t think he’d do the deal just for the campaign did you?

Talk about swampy shit. What club did they rent to have this gala? If you make me the head of the Trump campaign well … I’d pocket the $13 million, but let’s say I was honest. I would find the closest Red Robin, get the biggest burgers for everyone and net the campaign $22,000,000, charging $1.3 million for the genius tactical advantage I bring in saving them $12 million.

Jesus, these people.

****

Peace, y’all
