    Every time I hear this discussion I am once again floored by how judgemental people are about someone’s decision to stay in a marriage, and the assumptions people make about said marriage. 
    Hey but don’t dare make an analogy about divorced dads.
    The kinda comment days later that makes you nothing more than the Fox News / National Enquirer of the board.  
    The kind of thread that makes me wonder if you would have started the thread if it was Melania commenting on Obama. Good to see that days later you’re still wringing your hands. Buck up buttercup, it’ll be okay.
    Whatever, sis
    How original, plagerist.
    I recognize genius. It’s called reapplying. Leveraging. It’s encouraged once you are out of school and have a real job.

    Ooooooo, a real job? You mean like the ones Americans won’t take but illegals will? That kind of real job? Like cooking pizza? Framing houses? Roofing? Landscaping? Meat processing? Like those real jobs?

    ALL OF THE DEMOCRATIC presidential candidates have committed to rejecting the influence of special interests. To demonstrate their resolve, several of the candidates have promised to power their White House ambitions without a single dollar of lobbyist money.

    In the waves of small-dollar donations reported on Monday — the first financial disclosure reporting period of the 2020 presidential race — lobbyist money had made its way into the coffers of major candidates’ campaigns.

    Beto O’Rourke is one of the candidates who had pledge to run a campaign financed only by regular people — “not PACs, not lobbyists, not corporations, and not special interests.” His latest filing, however, shows that he accepted donations from a federal utility-company lobbyist and a top Chevron lobbyist in New Mexico.

    Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., has also collected donations from registered corporate lobbyists in South Carolina, New York, and California. Several technology lobbyists from San Francisco have given to her campaign. Another Harris donor, Robert Crowe, from the firm, Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, is a federal lobbyist who has worked to influence Congress on behalf of pipeline firm EQT Corporation and Alphabet, the parent company of Google.​

    Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., similarly announced that he would eschew campaign donations from federal lobbyists, and his campaign appears to be making most of the caveat about “federal” lobbyists. Though he has returned donations from lobbyists registered under the federal government’s system, Booker has taken half a dozen donations from lobbyists registered under state and municipal lobbyist registration laws, but who do not appear in federal disclosures.

    The pledge to reject lobbyist cash is completely voluntary and self-defined. O’Rourke has made blanket statements that he will reject all donations from lobbyists. Harris has made promises in emails to her supporters to reject all lobbyist donations and, in other emails, to only reject donations from federal lobbyists. Booker’s campaign website only specifies that he will not accept money from federal lobbyists.

    The flow of lobby cash comes in many forms. Some comes from registered lobbyists, others from individuals who are clearly lobbyists but have chosen not to register with a federal system rife with loopholes.

    The Lobbying Disclosure Act, which governs the criteria over federal lobbyist registration, is notoriously easy to evade and historically poorly enforced. Many professional corporate influence peddlers — well-aware of the porous definitions set out in the statute — simply choose not to register.

    This is all well and good for the primaries, but it could be a substantial problem come general election time.

    gonna have to see equitable money from the general population for it to work. distasteful as it is, money gets shit done. its not pragmatic to eschew those types of funding sources. in fact if such sources were petty it could work against a given candidate.
