    You are sounding very naive. That does not take conflict of interest off the table in the least.
    What do you suggest he do?
    Not be president. The man is incapable of not using this power to line his pockets, and the pockets of his family.

    Maybe you should have thought that conflict of interest through before you voted for a con man who is going to steal from you.
    To be fair, Hillary would do the same thing. Clintons went from a net worth of $700K in 1992 to $110M today.
    You're saying trump's business dealings and how he operates is the same as Clinton's? Come on.
    Hillary's business dealings are with those that funded her and were counting on her to win so she could provide influence in their best interests. I would say her conflict of interest is much more then Trump as he self-funded most of his campaign.
    Trump didn't fund his own campaign. He loaned the money to his campaign. Then used campaign money to pay his family and himself for planes & hotels. Trump's campaign is still asking for donors to help repay the loan back to Trump.

    They made those profits after they were out of office. That's a whole different deal than making them while in office.

    Hillary opened her tax returns up and was transparent. Trump on the other hand......
    The increase in net worth has nothing to her role as sec of state? Nothing to do with her presidential aspirations? WOW!!!
    Review the tax returns...most income due to Bill's speeches/consulting

    Will be interesting to see what happens to their income now that they have little influence in politics.

    If Mrs. Trump were to start getting 200k a speech, you wouldn't suspect there would be any tie to the fact that her husband is a president and it would be good to have him as a friend?

    Pretty sure they'll do just fine. People will always pay big money for an ex president and SoS to speak. The real question is, will either of them be interested in it at all any more or just go into quiet isolation after this whole recount fiasco is over.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Regardless, he owes no special interest groups or lobbyist anything. They figured he was toast and focused on congressional backing.

    He owes the GOP nothing. They wouldn't touch him with a ten foot poll until after he won.

    Hillary owes (if she won) a lot of people a lot of favors.

    I frankly find Obamas restrained foreign policy of the last 8 years to be a breath of fresh air... all of the conflicts and issues in the world are not America's problem, they aren't my problem, and they sure as fuck aren't some 18 year old Americans problem to die for

    Yes...the genocide in Syria is such a breath of fresh air.

    Don't get me wrong. They are coming back to kiss the ring. Kind of like when all the Lords of the North refused to back the bastard of Winterfell and then ended up bending the knee to Jon Snow, King of the North, after he won the battle of the bastards. Romney of all people is breaking bread with the clown.

    Hillary has been an inside fix since the day she backed out of the democratic primary against Obama and cut a deal to be Secretary of State.

    Man, just when I was starting to believe some of this rhetoric about republicans being the crazy flock, I read that the democrats just reelected Nancy Pelosi as their leader. Trump may actually pull off 8 years! Keeping people like her, Feinstein, Schumer, Reid, Manchin, Murphey around are not going to pursued me to vote down the D line.

    It really is crazy. The dems have imploded and learned absolutely nothing. The average age of republican congressional leadership is 47 while the average age of democratic congressional leadership is 76. They are old, tired and completely out of ideas and have decided that their party would best be served by Keith Ellison and another dose of San Francisco liberalism. The republicans could have a supermajority in the senate in a few years.

    It was a false celebration and a smart president would have known that. The US needed to backstop the real agents of change instead of allowing the nefarious actors to get footholds in the region. President Obama failed miserably by not supporting the Green Revolution in Iran and by putting it's weight behind the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. They also helped in the overthrow of Gaddafi (so restrained) while letting Islamists get a foothold there. Obama's military pullback from Iraq allowed the expansion of ISIS which then pushed into Syria. The genocide there is due to his policies.

    So much for draining the swamp. Nominating Steve Mnuchin to be Treasury Secretary -- a billionaire hedge fund manager and Goldman Sachs alumnus who preyed on homeowners struggling during the recession -- is a slap in the face to voters who hoped he would shake up Washington," said Democratic National Committee spokesman Adam Hodge in a statement. "Trump is already heading into office as the most corrupt, conflicted, and unpopular president-elect in history, and now he's breaking his signature promise to the voters who elected him."

    Except nobody cares because Trump will not be measured in the same way.

    Not be president. The man is incapable of not using this power to line his pockets, and the pockets of his family.

    Maybe you should have thought that conflict of interest through before you voted for a con man who is going to steal from you.
    To be fair, Hillary would do the same thing. Clintons went from a net worth of $700K in 1992 to $110M today.
    You're saying trump's business dealings and how he operates is the same as Clinton's? Come on.
    Hillary's business dealings are with those that funded her and were counting on her to win so she could provide influence in their best interests. I would say her conflict of interest is much more then Trump as he self-funded most of his campaign.

    so he accuses HRC of trying to strip americans of their second ammendment rights during the campaign. now he wants to jail people or even strip them of their citizenship for something that is protected under the FIRST ammendment.

    this is the fuck you people voted for?

    Trump just announced over Twitter that he'll be "leaving his businesses in total". https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump - so vaggar, that should take the conflict of interest angle off the table.

    You are sounding very naive. That does not take conflict of interest off the table in the least.
    What do you suggest he do?
    Not be president. The man is incapable of not using this power to line his pockets, and the pockets of his family.

    Maybe you should have thought that conflict of interest through before you voted for a con man who is going to steal from you.
    To be fair, Hillary would do the same thing. Clintons went from a net worth of $700K in 1992 to $110M today.
    You're saying trump's business dealings and how he operates is the same as Clinton's? Come on.
    Hillary's business dealings are with those that funded her and were counting on her to win so she could provide influence in their best interests. I would say her conflict of interest is much more then Trump as he self-funded most of his campaign.
    Trump didn't fund his own campaign. He loaned the money to his campaign. Then used campaign money to pay his family and himself for planes & hotels. Trump's campaign is still asking for donors to help repay the loan back to Trump.
    Regardless, he owes no special interest groups or lobbyist anything. They figured he was toast and focused on congressional backing.

    He owes the GOP nothing. They wouldn't touch him with a ten foot poll until after he won.

    Hillary owes (if she won) a lot of people a lot of favors.
    Really? Who do you think the donors are that will shore up those loans now? Who do you think is paying for his victory tour?
    Don't get me wrong. They are coming back to kiss the ring. Kind of like when all the Lords of the North refused to back the bastard of Winterfell and then ended up bending the knee to Jon Snow, King of the North, after he won the battle of the bastards. Romney of all people is breaking bread with the clown.

    Hillary has been an inside fix since the day she backed out of the democratic primary against Obama and cut a deal to be Secretary of State.
    Sorry, you don't get to play the "b-b-b-but Hillary" card anymore. Put that one back in the deck.
    I guess that is your way to justify winning a debate dual. (note: i win :tongue: )

    so he accuses HRC of trying to strip americans of their second ammendment rights during the campaign. now he wants to jail people or even strip them of their citizenship for something that is protected under the FIRST ammendment.

    this is the fuck you people voted for?

    They voted for somebody to effectively troll the left while governing and it is amazing how it just keeps on working.
    everyone knows this is a distraction. the fact you believe that anyone believes his bullshit speaks volumes. he can troll all he wants. all it does is ring the alarm bells about what he's actually doing. he's a fucking idiot.
    Not everybody knows. Trump tweets a position similar to one that Hillary Clinton previously took and then people show up to burn flags outside trump tower. He will probably never push for the policy he tweeted about but he makes the left over react and sandbag themselves. I actually agree with you on the speech issue but in the end it's the left that looks insane burning the flag. That is Trump's genius. Do the dems want to be the party of flag burners? I don't think so but that's how they come across. Next time they should not take the bait.

    So much for draining the swamp. Nominating Steve Mnuchin to be Treasury Secretary -- a billionaire hedge fund manager and Goldman Sachs alumnus who preyed on homeowners struggling during the recession -- is a slap in the face to voters who hoped he would shake up Washington," said Democratic National Committee spokesman Adam Hodge in a statement. "Trump is already heading into office as the most corrupt, conflicted, and unpopular president-elect in history, and now he's breaking his signature promise to the voters who elected him."

    Adam Hodge, DC insider, Obama #1 fanboy who couldn't have been more wrong about the 2016 elections up and down the ballots state to state is another one who now knows everything.

    I'm reading through some of the hawks on here chirp about "Obama failed foreign policy"

    I guess you want American troops on the ground in Syria? Maybe we should have gone into Crimea

    I frankly find Obamas restrained foreign policy of the last 8 years to be a breath of fresh air... all of the conflicts and issues in the world are not America's problem, they aren't my problem, and they sure as fuck aren't some 18 year old Americans problem to die for

    Yes...the genocide in Syria is such a breath of fresh air.
    Then why isn't Canada doing something about it? Or Putin or China for that matter?

    he trolled the right, and handily. it got him elected on promises he can never deliver on.

    He has created extremely low expectations for success and the left helped him with that. His "promises" are very loosely defined and his base knows that he is not-ideological. He will be judged on results and results alone. Much slack will be given to him provided his voters feel things are moving in the right direction. The "promise" checklist will not be a problem for him.
