I remember when the Republicans made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm because it was a conflict of interest.

This statement has made me feel more youthful. Thank you

Time for Murica to liberate Ethan Allen.

 

That's only fair since Ethan Allen once helped liberate America.

It's one thing to sell a peanut farm it's another to sell Trump's international real estate holdings.

Even if he puts his business into someone else's hands he'll still be aware of the assets so he'll still be accused of having a conflict.

It would take years to sell everything and he probably has no intention of doing that anyway.

So this will be a huge source of noise from Democrats and the left, for the duration of his presidency.

The best thing he can do is let his lieutenants run his business dealings for as long as he's POTUS. The presidency is an all consuming job that will need his full attention. If he doesn't give his complete focus in DC, it'll create any number of problems that could hurt his duties as president, and possibly hurt us.

On the conflict of interest thing, I can see both sides of the argument.

On one hand, why should people have to sell their business if they decide to run for president? The presidency is only 8 years max, maybe the person would like to return to his/her business after serving as president.

On the other hand, with every move the President makes questions will be raised about whether he/she personally benefited. So there's a perception of conflict even if there isn't any.

Trump is correct that the President, Vice President, and members of Congress are exempt from conflict of interest law.

However his opponents and the media won't be satisfied until the entire business is divested and placed into a blind trust. I don't see how that can happen before he takes office.

 

Yeah!

Also, we will simultaneously ban lobbyists and drain the swamp!

These things mesh well.

if an attack can happen in san bernardino, of all places, it can happen anywhere.

as mentioned, my ex interviewed in that building and turned the gig down, but it was on her short list. same building and same company party would have been her and the story could have been completely different.

but not even islamic terrorists, what about these crackers running up into movie theaters with automatic weapons? that's terrorism too but the media never mentions it....if they are white it's mental illness, if they are from the middle east it's terrorism.

shit can pop off at any minute. i don't think about it, but am cognizant that i can turn on the news and hear about some deadly attack. 

 

I was once 20 feet away from a couple of cholos getting smoked at a gas station. I'm more concerned about criminals/thugs that are not starting shit for religious reasons or "mentally ill" shooters. The biggest threat are morons texting while driving.

lol.

and only Dems keep their blinders on so they can't be accused of Islamaphobia  

[ABC]

Obama has bombed the shit out of ISIS from his ipad. If you are getting riled up over dems not saying muslim ____, then you are likely jerking off too much to the fox news strippers.

not sure if actual lib or just playing an extreme parody of one

lol @#CF8 is a satirical guy in my experience. I enjoy his shtick in the gameday forum. I guess it makes sense he'd do the same thing here.

Maybe we can all admit that there are a lot of threats that we should all be concerned about, and that it should motivate us to be vigilant and keep our eyes open for each other.

From Ivanka Trump's Facebook page. Yeah, I'll bet that she busts ass every day.

This photo is everything that's wrong. Self-aggrandizing while neither the baby nor the work gets the attention it deserves.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

That's not fair, Arch. I'm sure that she has hired plenty of people to give proper attention to both the baby and the work.

So the trade off for having a non-politician is that we get someone who quite likely has large business dealings, many of them involving foreign governments, riding on every action he makes. I'm not willing to concede that one is better than the other just yet.

huh?  Hillary lost

Spot on. If you're walking around worried that some bearded or bald religious terrorist is going to wreck your day then you probably need some anti-anxiety treatment. 

so, in order to be concerned about something, a person has to walk around worried about it and have it ruin their day? 

[ABC]

If your top worry is being a terrorist attack victim in the USofA then you need to chill. If you think democrats don't make stopping terrorist acts on US soil a priority then you're a dimwit who needs to back away from the Rush Limbaugh show.

the last one is what trips me out about the libs here. you can't simply question an idea or throw a joke out without them doing the "but, but, republicans..." like it has any relevancy on the topic or discussion.

i don't think lou is even a righty, but there is some kind of insecurity to always throw a "but the right did this..." meme or link.

They probably get their material from the Occupy Democrats page on Facebook.

You take shit too seriously especially for a guy who wants to be seen as a chill dude. 

[Brandon]

Our next president.  Nobody does diplomacy better.
