monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

With you on this one. Very sick of BLMBS.

Do you think 0bama can make that happen before he leaves office?

One of the BIG reasons I still swing conservative

I swing conservative partially because democrats openly support and sympathize with hate groups.

As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump offered voters a two-pronged pitch when it came to contributors' influence. First, he insisted that Hillary Clinton would be "totally controlled" by her donors, and second, the Republican said his purported wealth made him immune to such pressures.

...The Washington Post reported a couple of weeks ago, for example, that Trump "has now tapped six big donors and fundraisers to serve in his administration, lining up an unprecedented concentration of wealthy backers for top posts." Politico moved the ball forward overnight, noting the access donors have been able to purchase.

Quote:

More than a third of the almost 200 people who have met with President-elect Donald Trump since his election last month, including those interviewing for administration jobs, gave large amounts of money to support his campaign and other Republicans this election cycle.

Together the 73 donors contributed $1.7 million to Trump and groups supporting him, according to a POLITICO analysis of Federal Election Commission records, and $57.3 million to the rest of the party, averaging more than $800,000 per donor.

Donors also represent 39 percent of the 119 people Trump reportedly considered for high-level government posts, and 38 percent of those he eventually picked, according to the analysis, which counted candidates named by the transition and in news reports.

An interesting observation from CNBC's John Harwood: each of the last five presidents -- Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama -- left office with Congress in the hands of the opposite party.

And since Trump can’t dissolve an entity while it’s still under investigation, even this half-step may not happen.

The president-elect nevertheless seems eager to talk about the end of his scandal-plagued foundation, arguing via Twitter last night that “all” of the money it raised was “given to charity.” He added soon after that “100%” of the millions raised went to “wonderful charities.”

We know Trump’s lying, in part because the Trump Foundation has already admitted that some of its money covered non-charitable expenses.

Trump used foundation money to buy giant portraits of himself. Trump used foundation money to make illegal campaign contributions. Trump used foundation money to settle private-sector lawsuits. Trump used foundation money to support conservative political entities that could help further his partisan ambitions.

You seem to Stereotype groups of people as if all members of a group behave as the most unethical member of a group.
