Are you being facetious or are you genuinely not familiar with Trump using his office for personal gain?


Oh, ok the typical shenanigans most politicians are involved in, as illustrated in the movie Mr Smith Goes To WashingtonDid you know that congress is exempt from insider trading too?

Oh, ok?

Its some politicians. And rarely our presidents. The exceptional few presidents of graft are well known for that in our history. 

I'm surprised you didn't know of this until now. Does it bother you? Or you're OK with it because some politicians have been grifters?


Nope - not ok with it, never have been.

What modern (and real) presidents have kept their private holdings and made decisions that they directly profited from?


I believe all modern day presidents keep their private 'holdings'.  Whether they profit from inside information or influence, I personally don't know.  Maybe BG9 knows.

 They either divested or placed assets in a genuine blind trust.  Obama didn't even want to try to refinance his own mortgage, to avoid the appearance of impropriety.

That 2011 article is outdated. See: the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012.

Yep. The ultimate Trump Normalization Syndrome. 


Trump's corrupt? Prove it!

[proven]

Everyone's done it!

[avoid the truth]


Has anyone seen the new line of Nike Burns?

Made from locally-sourced cardboard, these easily ignitable little bonfires of vanity start at only $49.

Spread the news to your alt-right friends!

"While our men and woman were over there fighting (at war), they ... were waving a flag. They're fighting for the flag," the post's commander, Randy Wahl, said Wednesday. "And to me, serving our country, the flag is sacred to me." 
Soldiers who took  the oath to defend the Constitution are actually fighting for, among other things, the right to kneel during the national anthem.

 I just want to clarify that my post (taken out of context here) was in response to lord_pabulum asking for examples of conservative "right-wing" boycotts.
