Never! FDT!!
 
McConaughey better avoid traveling outside the U.S. because his wife might not make it back in.
 
Srs question, if somehow it comes out that Trump had ties to that 19% Rosneft sell off deal, would that basically be equal to treason?

If so, would his supporters care? Would GOP care?

equal to.. that is treason.. dude is operating the affairs of the country in the interest of putin/Russia

hell, dude has long gone past the threshold for 'conflict of interest' which should be grounds for him not to be in that position.. but you still got idiots out there that don't see where this is going, even after what he has done in only a couple of days

Very troubling. Religion is on a strong decline here except for Islam but we never really had a christian extremist problem, at least not since I was born. We were one of the first EU countries to legalize gay marriage and abortion. But the US is a different story. Whereas I don't know any religious people besides muslims and the elderly, it seems like it is everywhere in the US. Biblethumpers like Mike Pence are a threat to civil rights across the nation. Separation of church and state is essential to a democracy for good reason.

Gonna be CRAZY when a Muslim rises to power here inside the construct of this very rule.


@eddieg

If he ran for president, do you think he'd win?

In his time as governor, did he try to act smarter than what he is and make decisions, or did he lean on his team of appointees?

Bruh... Y'all gotta start living in conservative comment sections.

They KNOW that there's a conflict of interest. They fully get it.

The issue is that they feel the conflict will benefit the US. They legitimately feel conservatism + Trump "success" as a businessman will guide us through.

The fact that he's appointing a bunch of shark business leaders, these people Love that because they feel the skills are transferrable.


A good point thay the right sometimes make is that these guys have built and operated successful businesses, so their interests will lie more in economical improvement (like a biz) instead of political affairs.

The opinion isn't the most solid, but I can see how conservatives arrives at this assumption
 
dude has failed at liquor, gambling and football

They arrive at that conclusion by assuming that government and businesses have the same goals and work the same way, which is false.

That's the problem. The BS we're seeing from Trump and his people is THE result of running government like a business
