Isn’t it an outdated document written by old white racists?

It’s timeless and our founders saw well into the future and wrote that clause as if they pictured this corrupt president as they put pen to paper. You crack me up, that we are spouting talking points, this is the news of the day and has real implications. Mulvaney admitting QPQ and I’m sure got an earful from Trump after and is now trying to say what we watched him say on camera he never said. Doral for G7 is just so wrong and in light of what is going on, beyond stupid.

I don’t really have a problem with it. At least he isn’t renting out rooms in the White House for campaign donations. I bet the folks will have a very nice time.

Just like the electoral college, it's like they knew certain areas of the country would contain a majority of the population, that wouldn't be concerned with what affects the other areas of the country.

You can’t fight the 2a battle without taking up the others, only Trump could be so stupid, but there is no cure for stupid. Want a chuckle see if you can find Mattis response to a Trump calling him the most over rated general of all time, really funny and classy.

The funny thing is you think you MO on this board doesn’t make you constantly look petty, childish and at times just down right mean. You are the perfect Trump mini me, mean spirited, you must wake up every day with a hair across your arse, wouldn’t want to be your dog or misbehaving child.

When you insult or criticize someone else, it may say more about how you are feeling about yourself than the other person.

he can get around that by doing it at cost, so he's not profiting. but the optics are bad.

that clause doesn’t mean much anymore, as the white house is now a pathway to almost billionaire status, they all profit immensely after they’re out.

but it’s still stupid.

that’s exactly what they knew, even back then. the rural colonies were reluctant to join for exactly this reason. the electoral college was the solution. the right men were at the right place at the right time, to found the republic.

It’s called constructive criticism. I hope you know it is easily avoidable. If you can learn how to spell bus , it will make it all worthwhile. Carry on

of occasions, you had

you thought we’re crazy. it was something that was hysterical, and i can’t find it or remember what it was. any idea what i’m referring to? maybe a scene from a movie?

Pretty funny
A typical vial of insulin that will last a diabetic about 10 days costs about $300 in the United States. In Canada, the exact same type of insulin can be purchased for just $30

Erdogan, in fact, wrote the art of dealing with Donald Trump. Just put his name on a couple of towers in Istanbul, launder some money with him, and he will let you kill anyone anywhere. It is all about $$$$.

Donald Trump just tweeted a bragging rant about how well he handled the Turks, ISIS and the Kurds. It included these ominous words. "Likewise, the Kurds want it, [ceasefire] and the ultimate solution, to happen."

The "ultimate solution" is what?

Trump, with Erdogan playing the role of exterminator, Trump is permitting a genocide of the Kurdish people.

Judging by his Dallas ravings (among other rants) he really does believe the Kurds are 'untermenschen' deserving of extinction.

So you can pick which parts of the constitution you think you should abide by, interesting interpretation but wrong. No way he doesn’t profit now or for future, you are kidding yourself, but it’s par for the course.

Even if he was doing it at cost, he still benefits as he is able to spread his fixed costs over a larger base, etc. So that excuse doesn't work.

An bc rich after your are Pres. is different that using the office to enrich yourself and family.
