Yes, traitors like you put Dementia Joe into Congress and now traitors like you want this demented old man to lead the free world.
Stunning.
Accepting Nomination From White House Lawn Violates Hatch Act

Stunning.
The way Trump had them packed like sardines, and not requiring them to wear masks, it looked like a COVID super spreader event.
The irony is that Deplorable snowflakes whine and routinely ask how anyone else could handle the pandemic better than Trump

Hello Dutch Uncle,
I have thought the same thing in the past. I can understand that sentiment. And that leads to wanting short term limits. But the problem is not all elected people are bad, and such laws throw out the good with the bad. They also ensure that nobody in Congress ever has very much experience with the way government works. That ensures that everybody in Congress is inexperienced in the job. That leaves them as easy prey for the very experienced lobbyists who know how things work, have the extended contacts, and are well prepared for each crop of unsuspecting neophytes.
No, the better way to address the corruption in Congress is to institute the American Anti-Corruption Act.

Hello Cypress,
It was incredibly stupid to hold a mass gathering without social distancing. Aside from the fact that it was illegal to hold a campaign event at the WH, it was done in a way which was not safe for humans during a deadly pandemic.
The event had definite super-spreader potential. Let us hope it does not turn into another Herman Cain story in a few weeks. That would be very bad PR for the Trump campaign, to have it hit the news cycle that somebody who attended that event came up with COVID-19 and subsequently died.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
Trump was breaking laws long before he stumbled into the presidency. It didn't start when he moved in. It was a continuation of the way he has conducted his life.
And it's so sad.
He was given so much money just for being born the son of a millionaire that he never had to work a day of his life.
If he had simply taken everything he inherited and put it into a traditional strategy diversified portfolio of stock market investments, he would be far richer today than he is after all his efforts to 'get rich.'
He has bumbled and stumbled his way through life and screwed up nearly everything he ever touched. Just ask the contractors who have made the mistake of working for him.
He has left a trail of misery for most of the people who ever had anything to do with him.
Most people who have ever had business dealings with Trump have regretted it.
While I agree, Trump isn't the problem. Congress is the problem because they aren't doing anything about it. Trump started breaking laws as soon as he moved in and has largely been supported in doing so.
The political partisans on this forum often fail to see the long term consequences of breaking rules, laws, acts, etc. It sets a precedent for the next President or Congress to do too. 30 years of this shit and look where we are; Thanks Congress!

That was a business decision. His existing tenants were the racists. He did not want them moving out. You need to tell the whole truth. I have not seen you do it yet.

What laws did he break?
They are demonstrations guaranteed by the first amendment. They are not riots.
Agreed on anti-corruption.
Yup. Just like in Vegas, some people roll sevens, some people roll snake eyes.
More crime from Dump.

Goodbye coldjoint,
I'm sorry. You just crossed the line when you began talking about me instead of the subject. That poisoned the discussion.
And it did not go unnoticed when you ignored my requests for civil discourse. I specifically asked you:
That was a question you never answered, but I got my answer now. I had to prod, and then you gave conditions. No. Being polite in a civil discussion does not come with conditions. Either the discussion is polite or it is not. It's simple. Discussion can be about the subject; or it can go personal. That's the line that must not be crossed. Starting up with personal attacks is not being polite. Discussing politics is one thing, but it is obvious when someone is losing the discussion and then they begin to slide into personal attacks. That's called 'Going low.' And, by the Michelle Obama Rule,' placing you on Ignore would be an example of 'Going high.'
Well, you've had your say now. And so have I. I'll not read another word you write, so it will be futile to go further.
This communication has ended.

OP link:
"The Hatch Act of 1939, An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, is a United States federal law. Its main provision prohibits civil service employees in the executive branch of the federal government,[3] except the president and vice president,[4] from engaging in some forms of political activity."
That means having Ivanka speak at an RNC event held at the White House is a violation of the Hatch Act.
Nobody elected Ivanka.
