Well this is embarrassing but not surprised.

His 60 minutes interview was a disaster. He failed to answer the questions again. If there was a method to his madness it has been missed by millions of people. Your sister is not alone Trump is about to suffer the worse defeat in US history. I just hope the GOP can regroup and have a strong showing in 2024. Lots to learn from the 2016 experiment that has failed.

This presupposes that lobbyists are bad! The constitution clearly outlines the right association and there is nothing wrong with those associations hiring someone to represent their interests in Washington. Lobbyists are like congressman everybody hates lobbyists except their own. Everyone is a lobbyist for their own interests. Lobbyists tend to be experts in the field that they lobby in because they once were highly successful in that field generally. So that your measure anyone who was once highly successful in a given field but then became a lobbyist for that association is no longer qualified to work in government?

I like living under the first amendment and have no interest in living under your totalitarian regimes.
indeed. And I find comedy in Democrats bitching about lobbyists and millionaires, except when they’re doing the lobbying and being millionaires themselves. As I brought up before, Joe Biden said he’s going after the rich to have them pay their fair share. (another class warfare yawning moment) $400k and above. So what happened to the evil millionaires and billionaires? Now we’re going after the thousandaires? What a joke.....
I agree completely. I never said I was against lobbyists, I've actually hired them in the past both as direct hires for their expertise and in their lobbying role to advance my business interests. I was just pointing out President Trump's position when he ran for president and the subsequent back-tracking. Here's his original 5-point plan to drain the swamp:
"First: I am going to re-institute a 5-year ban on all executive branch officials lobbying the government for 5 years after they leave government service. I am going to ask Congress to pass this ban into law so that it cannot be lifted by executive order.
Second: I am going to ask Congress to institute its own 5-year ban on lobbying by former members of Congress and their staffs.
Third: I am going to expand the definition of lobbyist so we close all the loopholes that former government officials use by labeling themselves consultants and advisors when we all know they are lobbyists.
Fourth: I am going to issue a lifetime ban against senior executive branch officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.
And Fifth: I am going to ask Congress to pass a campaign finance reform that prevents registered foreign lobbyists from raising money in American elections."
I already posted an analysis of where these initiatives stand (pretty much nothing was done). I'm not sure why not but the better question is why did he commit to them in the first place? He did unveil the plan right after he was caught grabbing pussy, so maybe he was just pandering?
 
The executive order will keep policymakers from making policy counter to the administration, which is supposed to be the one who administers policy. Republican administrations are at a huge disadvantage because the majority of the civil service are against their policy goals. Which is very much a part of what I define is the swamp of Washington.
What I don't think you get is that, while the EO will allow for easier firing of tons of civil servants, the more profound impact will be from a new administration being able to instantly hire an equal number at the beginning of its term. This has the potential to create an enormous new patronage system. A quick look at our history will reveal what that looks like and why we went to a competitive system. I also suspect Democrats will love this new system even more than Republicans.

That just shows how TDS has infected your brain. Regan's defeat of Mondale or Nixon's defeat of McGovern where the two worst defeats in modern history, by a lot. While Trump may not win, there is nothing to suggest it won't be nail biting close on either side.
 
Well this is embarrassing when a fellow comrade won't support your conspiracy theory.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday that he saw nothing criminal in Hunter Biden's past business ties with Ukraine or Russia, marking out his disagreement with one of Donald Trump's attack lines in the U.S. presidential election.

Putin was responding to comments made by Trump during televised debates with Democratic challenger Joe Biden ahead of the Nov. 3 election.

Just goes to prove they aren't "comrades." Russia desperately wants Biden to win so they can go back to invading it's neighbors.

I agree it will likely be very close. But, another poster seems to believe that President Trump will achieve the largest electoral win of this century. Is his brain infected as well? If so, does that mean that TDS can afflict individuals regardless of whether they support the President or not?

No because I can see when someone is just yanking Trump hater's chains. Trump's going to win Obama's 57 states. :)
