Let's say I was elected president. Let's also say that I make the best sausage in town. One day a customer buys 750 POUNDS of sausage..

Hello again, Mr.

Your protestations aside, no we're NOT done.  If you look back at our last interaction, you'll see that I was talking about what he SHOULD do, and what the ETHICAL thing to do was..  You, and you alone mentioned LAW. 

I didn't think there was a law about it, and I was right..  Here's the ONLY law that pertains. It's illegal for the president to take gifts from heads of state, and it's illegal for him to accept bribes..

So, in the example above, While I can legally OWN a sausage business, every single transaction I make will be QUESTIONED, SCRUTINIZED, INVESTIGATED, REPORTED ON, and LIED ABOUT..  Somebody will think that I've been bribed, and who's to say that I wasn't?? 

So, the answer to BOTH threads, is that Trump needs to sell his business OR put it in a blind trust..  They have the same effect.

Then I guess lobby your local officials to change the laws and/or Constitution that all businessmen will have to sell their businesses to become president. I'm sure they'll get right on that. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 23, 2016 9:44 AM MST

Hello again, Mr.

Nope..  Missed it again..  Batting 1000, though.

I don't wanna make laws..  I LIKE what Trump is doing.. I hope he gets his tit caught in the ringer, and we can be RID of him.

Sooooooo. You don't want him to be "ethical" (do the "right" thing even though there are no laws about it) so he is investigated/impeached? Ok. That's fine. Just say that.

You really aren't making any sense. You're really conflicted as a Capitalistic Business Owner and a "liberal". Sorry about that.

It's odd how you jump into the OP's questions after you added him to your filter yesterday. Doesn't mean that much after all, huh? That's exactly the teenager-like behavior I was talking about. Following the people you filter anyway. Drama written all over it.

Well the filter doesn't work too well.

Hello again, Mr.

I UNFILTERED me.  I am the MASTER of filters..   I'm a millennium tech hacker - your favorite people..  I'm IN your computer..  Bwa, ha ha ha ha ha..

Bromide is like a fine wine.  You are taking him the wrong way.  Adapt, adjust and get used to his fine brand of sarcasm.   It is delicious.

Excuse me, this one isn't for you to get involved in Sharonna.

The "teenager" used time to post fine screenshots (here and other questions) on how he has filtered some of us, YET he still follows the posts of people on his list. I don't mind him having bad days, but acting like a spoiled teen being rude to anyone questioning him is creating drama. Period.

I have no issues dealing with sarcasm. You should know. I have dealt with his before. But being sarcastic means you will get some in return. Doesn't look to suit the "teenager" well. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 23, 2016 10:14 AM MST

And?


The teen brain. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 23, 2016 12:07 PM MST

Whatever Mr. Screenshot.

Is this STILL going on?  Oh man, you guys.  

For a guy who has me filtered he is making a lot of replies. I thought it was about ignoring when he put up his screenshot. Apparently not. I made my last reply. Have a lovely day Sharonna.

Sorry SH.  I didn't read any of it.  I just butt in before in to be semi-humorous.  Hope to see you on here.  You and Bromide should settle in at some point and get along.  I am not asking for that, I just mean I think that is going to happen. That kind of should.  Whether it does or not is not my business.  I hope you don't feel like he is some fiend.  I am not his publicity agent.  He is a big boy. 

Oh yes.   I am almost positive he did not vote for Trump.   That counts for me.  I am petty about PET.
