[vertone]

What kind of ignorant dumbfuck would even for for Trump in the first place?
That’s the real question.

Very sad for American patriots, Russian lovin Americans are having a field day

[mantan]

common sense dictates that the president can of course have very real conflicts of interests

The most over-rated sense…

@cd

It takes decades to prepare

Almost as much prep as for a Batman movie…

my thoughts remain my own

Are you sure? I having a sneaking suspicion that those are my thoughts.

Trump hates Hollywood, but probably respects the kind of accounting that led to no profit from “Coming to America”

A faux-gold-plated Mason jar.

An empty, faux-gold-plated Mason jar.

This is an executive ethics office so I don’t know that Congress has the authority to shut it down.

I have been telling those around me that a job like POTUS is for freaks only. It takes decades to prepare oneself for the POTUS job, starting with the education one pursues, to the career track taken, to the contacts made, and of course, personal behavior. Lyin’ donnie possesses none of this, and is therefor fully unqualified for the job on that basis alon

Yep this is why Hillary was so fucking qualified - she prepared for that job her whole life, because she is the kind of freak that Obama is - she believes in public service.

Plenty of models to choose from!

I want one that shows the year of expiration as 2017.

How much you want to bet that since he got elected President, he and his spawn will insist on something huge, like Grant’s Tomb, or Napoleon Bonaparte’s mausoleum monument.

They can just resurrect the Trump Taj Mahal:

So what about the Emoluments Clause? Whatzername’s explanation didn’t cut any ice with me, but I haven’t seen any other responses.

Wishing whatever you like on the creature is protected speech. It’s making a threat to harm him that would get you in trouble.

Reminds me of the story of the baseball player who was called out on a questionable called third strike. He told the umpire, “I know that you can throw me out of the game for what I say, but can you throw me out for what I’m thinking?” After the umpire tells him no, he then says, “Well, I think that you’re a blind asshole!”

[dannydorko]

Not me! I wouldn’t even with for Chiselin’ Trump!

…and donate profits made from business dealings with foreign governments to the U.S. Treasury.

Now there’s a deal with no holes!

I’m going with this. After all, the lady who presumably was responsible for putting it together works for the law firm that won a “Russian Law Firm of the Year” Award. http://www.politicususa.com/2017/01/11/trump-busted-empty-fake-folders-conflict-interest-docs-press-conference.html

Walter Shaub Jr. has zero fucks left to give and the courage of someone willing to speak truth to power. Good for him.

With Trump, it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility that the folders held blank paper but the link you provided only speculates that’s the case and does not offer proof.

And, in a gentle but friendly nudge, the website you linked to is not credible. Best to find better sources.

But it’s a brave new world now, so be careful about what you do and say in what should be the privacy of your own home, even if you’re alone. It might be filmed without your knowing. Even if you’re made to learn that you are, it might be filmed without your consent. And it will be used against you.

Ask me how I know.
