    Is it? Do you know what every lobbyist does? Can you unequivocally say that all have evil motives? What about those who advocate for tax breaks and drug approvals? This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at September 7, 2020 6:06 PM MDT

    Definitely banish the corporation bullies who advocate for tax breaks. They benefit the most from the infrastructure that taxes pay for.

    And those advocating lower-income assistance like the Earned Income Tax Credit and the lowering of drug prices? They must be evil too. Throw all the bums out! Of course, it will never happen.

    I don't know how Australia treats the freedom-of-speech issue.

    I don't know either. But question say President of USA. I was thinking of Lobbying as falls under freedom petition the government. But it is also freedom of speech.   
    So as you said....that is not getting banned.  This post was edited by my2cents at September 9, 2020 7:19 AM MDT

      I would greatly expand the powers of The Grammar Police nationwide. Something has to be done to address the problem!

      Thank you. That’s sounds great fir for the My2cents presidential administration, the Randolph D presidential administration, however, will greatly expand the powers of The Grammar Police nationwide.

    Have a walk about and picnic on the WH  grounds with the gardners and cleaning staff to help clear my head so that I would  be able  to start thinking how I can take care of  a Country. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Maybe they would let you drive the mower for a while.

    Yep and then I would tell them about the British made riding lawn mower I had in Canada and let them know that it was a RollsCanHardly and how it would roll down one grassy hill then it can hardly make it up the next grassy hill. Then we would laughing and laugh and be off to a great  working relationship.  Cheers! This post was edited by Nanoose at September 7, 2020 10:38 AM MDT

    Resign.

    I would never run for that position.  Tons of people must have chosen me as a "write in " option. I'd have to disappoint all of them.

    I would fire all of the previous administrations' appointees and appoint my own, then I would review all of the previous administrations' executive orders and reverse the ones I don't like.  Those are probably the only things I would ever get done as President since I'm neither liberal nor conservative.  I'd have a hostile Congress no matter which party was in power, and both liberal media and conservative media would be my opposition, so being President of the USA would be a really crappy job for me.  I'd probably either quit or just try to dissolve Congress and become a dictator.

  • I would "drain the swamp" in actuality, because contrary to the overblown promises of the current president, the mire of the swamp has only thickened and become more murky during his tenure. My first act of policy would be to re-instate all environmental protections that have been rolled back.

    4 more years! Now that the thought of being elected President of America has sunk in and I am now confident that I will do a good job at bringing all Americans together for a common good - I want a second term. I gave my re election slogan a bit of thought and it might be - If You Thought The Lawnmower Joke Was Funny Wait Till You Hear The Next One. Cheers!
