Mitt Takes a Seat at the Devil's Table

Mitt Romney took a seat at the devil's table last night and not only dined with Donald Trump but lavishly praised him afterwards. (No link needed, it's on every news site.)

What a horrible menu. I would have thrown up during appetizers: "Young garlic soup" and scallops with "carmelized cauliflower" and a "caper raisin emulsion."

The restaurant is not in Trump Tower but another Trump Hotel nearby, on Central Park West. (It's two blocks north of Trump Tower and just west of the Plaza Hotel, which means Trump was driven there. It's one of the busiest intersections, if not the busiest, in Manhattan. I wonder how long traffic was shut down so he could ride rather than walk a few blocks to dinner.

For such a pricey restaurant, you would think they could afford to update their website and provide a newer menu than the one for 2015. They don't. [More...]

A sycophant at CNN who was in the restaurant:

CNN's Jim Acosta described the men as having a ‘warm but animated discussion', with Trump talking first and Romney chiming in later.

When Trump spotted Acosta, he called out, 'Hello Jim.' Acosta replied, 'Hello, Mr. President.'

He's not the President yet. He's Donald Trump. "Hello Mr. Trump" would be more than generous.

Yahoo News reports Trump is selling access to his Administration and congressional leaders through his Inauguration Committee -- for $1 million you too can spend quality time with the morally bankrupt Republicans who are now fawning over the Trump fiefdom.

Want to attend a ladies luncheon with Melania Trump? Or a candlelight dinner with President-elect Trump and Vice-President-elect Mike Pence? Want to hobnob with Trump Cabinet nominees and congressional leaders?

Easy: Simply plunk down $1 million to the Trump inaugural committee — a gift that guarantees high-rolling donors and corporate executives special access to the new leadership about to take over in Washington.

You can read the Trump flyer here.

In related news, the self-professed candidate of change interviewed Dan Quayle, and Trump has settled on a Foreclosure Machine as Treasury Secretary.

Romney might have sat at the devil's table, but we're all destined to go to hell in a hand basket with Trump in charge. Just looking at the people he associates with is sickening.

As for the people who voted for this deplorable man, may they all be sentenced to a lifetime of dinners of young garlic soup.

    My takeaway from that tweet: (5.00 / 1) (#2)

    was the phrase, "Priebus and PEOTUS"

    I can't be the only person for whom that immediately invoked the image of Beavis and Butthead

    Frog legs creep me out.  They're served intact, preserving the similarity to human musculature, to that of living beings.  It makes too evident the brutal nature of what we're doing when we eat.

    lol.  I love garlic so garlic soup sounds delicious.

    them frog legs, but I've only eaten them at a classier joint...the original Nathan's in Coney Island.

    Gotta give Mitt the edge on the entrée...lamb chops are where it's at.  As for Beavis & Butthead, even my broke arse can usually do better than a sirloin steak...no Filet Mignon or NY Strip up in that piece?  Not even some flank or skirt?  Sirloin is some Applebees sh&t...just a notch up from London Broil.  

    Another Trump red flag...dude can't even eat beef right, it's un-American!

    I hope, both had the garlic soup what with all that smooooching going on.  And, the frog legs are helpful in providing bulk to the diet--eliminating the moral fiber and retaining the immoral.

     Since neither Trump nor Romney are drinkers, they probably washed down their beef and lamb with French ink from the Paris accords.

     But, in fairness, the Monsieurs Grenouille  did cut fine figures, with Mitten's chic chic knee pads and Trump's toner the fine shade of the Tuileries' Orangerie.

    There is much in the Secretary of State appointment for Mittens: visits to his money in Switzerland at taxpayer's expense, and, for Trump, the fun of strapping Romney to the top of his car when he travels to his beautiful Maiginot Wall along the border.

    The upside for US citizens, is if Mittens is Secretary of State we only have to go down four in the presidential line of succession to get a relatively sane person.

    good taste. she started out in the fashion industry in NYC, as a designer, so I take her word for it. in Trump & Romney, we have classic examples proving her point. of course, Trump has made an actual business model of bad taste, so it's to be expected. it's probably a good thing Mrs. Kennedy is no longer alive, I fear for the white house interior design, after the Trumps get done with it. I've already given up on what the rest of the country is going to look like, after 4 years of these people at the helm.

    What is young garlic soup? (none / 0) (#5)

    Never heard of that.

    The hotel is a bit over 2 blocks up from Trump Tower, and then 3 very long blocks from 5th Ave over to Central Park West.

    I wonder if Trump walks anywhere. He doesn't seem to be the type who works out. A quick Google indicates he doesn't work out.

    What an interesting :"couple". After Romney's position and what he said about Trump, both of which I liked, it seems so improbable that they could ever get along and work together.

    I wonder how Trump will do living in the White House by himself. Didn't he fly back to NYC most nights during the campaign, at least early on, and not stay on the road?

    Young Garlic is basically garlic harvested before (5.00 / 1) (#9)

    the bulb matures into what you normally buy at the grocery store.It looks almost like a scallion and it tastes like very mild garlic.

    While I agree with Jeralyn's views on Tr*mp, I have to disagree with her about the menu. Young garlic soup, scallops, caramelized cauliflower...all good in my book :-)!

    Bobby Kennedy walking around in Manhattan.  He wasn't a president though.  He must have been a senator.  I was in high school.  I guess more secret service would have been a good thing.
