    It's not supposed to be Mar-a-Lago II!

    I should add here that Trump says the ballroom will be paid for by donations from “patriots” - whatever that means. But it seems you and me are footing the bill for the bathroom upgrade.

    Question - What does one need in a bathroom?

    Ethan Allen returned to England after the war, and the British made fun of him. One day they put a picture of George Washington in an outhouse where Allen would be sure to see it. He used the outhouse but said nothing about the picture. Then the British asked him about it and Allen said it was a very appropriate place for an Englishman to hang the picture because “nothing will make an Englishman shit so quick as the sight of General Washington.”
