While we are being distracted by our fixation on how much Trump spends on his golf outings ($129,621,903 as of 02/15/2020), we have not been watching the real scandal—cheesecake.
Now, I love cheesecake.
Not the ones that have fancy flavors, are smothered with various types of berries, or are somewhat just too light and creamy, but the solid type with the slightest hint of a merely dusted on Graham Cracker crust, with no frills or those “drizzles” that are supposed to make things Gourmet.
My favorite was Baby Watson that you could get for a while at the Quincy Market in Boston. They were the size and shape of a pound cake, had no crust, came in a foil pan, were thicker than peanut butter, and weighed a ton.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer also loves cheese cake, and it was recently discovered that over a 10 year period he has spent roughly $9,000 on them.
The Federal Election Commission filings revealed Chuckie Cheesecake Schumer spent $8,600 on cheesecake from Junior’s, a restaurant in Brooklyn.
He unabashedly admitted his miscreant abandon with a full throated, “Guilty as charged,” attempting to excuse his behavior by claiming,
“I love Junior’s cheesecake so much. It’s the best cheesecake in the world. It is made in Brooklyn. I’ve been going to Junior’s since I’ve been a little boy. And it’s my guilty pleasure.”
Schumer even bore down on by further admitting that he sometimes gives the cheesecakes out as gifts or to settle bets.
Cheese pro quo.
FEC filings show that Schumer’s political action committee had 93 entries for Junior’s cheesecake from 2009 to 2016 with payments ranging from $46 to $516.45, and listed as “supporter acknowledgments.”
The “Original NY Plain Cheesecake”, the top seller at Junior’s, goes for $43.95, which means that, according to the amount he admitted to have spent, Schumer bought 197 cheesecakes.
That makes a splurge of 19 cheesecakes a year on average
And the deep state only tells us about golf trips
