    You are so right... It is a republican thing to follow what you are told is best. Perfect example is that when Bush was president and the rich wanted to import more goods from China (It was preached from Fox news and Rush Limbaugh that we need to just to keep prices down) NOW that same thing via Trump is NOT keeping jobs in America and Fox news and Limbaugh follow suit, they preach it and guys with I.Q.'s about 90 fall in line like good little soldiers. Same thing happened in the 30s for Hitler... Most anyone remembers of hitler is the killing of 6M jews. They forget how he SLOWLY got in control.
    Trump has done everything humanly possible to be a bad american other than done drugs. If a democrat file bankruptcy 6 times, married 3 and acted like he does, Fox and limbaugh would pound them into the ground and morally incomprehensible adults... Yet trump does it and he is looking out for us first...
    It is our education system, especially down here in the South where I moved to... Basically bar-B-Q guns, and work boots with no shoestrings.. To lazy to tie strings and Duck Dynasty is AWESOME... yee haw... Very much the following type and hate anyone that isn't white... Just dont admit it anymore... Now we have proof that Russia and Putin hacked him into office and all a guy like this will say is, It could have been anyone over there)... How dumb would that response be ? To the guy that says it, sounds legit... To anyone smarter than him, how dumb....

    I asked for the ethics rules Trump is violating. You haven't provided any, so who isn't accepting the truth here?

    You have no idea what you type. Just throw in "RW" and random words you dont know the meaning of...

    Dont bother... Some people have no interest in debate or providing information.

    I honestly don't care if Trump makes himself and his family a billion dollars while he's president. Just as long as he does right by America and it's allies. I knew who he was when I voted for him.

    Success is brewing on the horizon and progressives are losing their minds.

    The fact that the first "black" president's legacy will be less than Jimmy Carters really bugs them.

    They're terrified Trump is going to be successful, because that would spell the end of the DNC.

    Truth is, good chance democrats and progressives wont see the White House until 2028, perhaps longer if Trump turns this ship around and our economy booms.

    They cant have another Reagan - and that's exactly what they got after that idiot Carter.

    We're going to be re-doing the 80's and it's presently 1980.

    ....k, we have had a multitude of discussions over the years and while we don't agree on many things, I respect your intelligence in your arguments.

    But this? This is such an obtuse argument I can't honestly believe it's you making it.

    You can't honestly sit here and say that you wouldn't have an issue if Hillary was elected and Chelsea was running the charity and a part of the transition team you wouldn't be screaming to high heaven about the completely obvious conflict.

    I'm honestly flabbergasted

    You put the best people in the matching positions. If the highly intelligent and educated Trump children meet those standards, why not?

    Big difference.

    Chelsea by all accounts is a spoiled idiot (according to Podesta and Hillary staffers) that has zero experience in anything, and Trumps kids are business wiz's.

    Besides, it's responsible to have input of several people when making difficult decisions.

    Or how about if you found out Bush the Younger really DID cause 9/11 just to ensure his reelection in 2004? Would you say that was OK since it got a conservative the victory?

    But neither of those are the point. It doesn't matter how "qualified" any of them are.

    They are private sector business executives who are responsible for the well being of the company their father owns.

    Now, with this election they have have an unprecedented advantage over their competition through their personal level of involvement in the civil process that drives the engine of govt.

    If this was being done in a Dem Administration, the Right would be apoplectic right now.

    Yeah, but it would still remain illegal for Trump to use bribes or other similar means to boost his business. Why not punish him if he actually does wrong doing instead of non stop speculation ?

    A lot better than the one Obama's son had, right?

    Ya know ...thief, drug dealer, attempted murdered ...ha ha ha.

    Ok but seriously, Trump is surrounding himself with successful people that he can trust.

    I've got two questions:

    1. Is there something wrong with that?

    2. Isn't it true that Leftist media would be criticizing Trumps picks no matter who they were?

    Trump is shooting in the dark and at present has a near-perfect record at appointing the worst possible people. Their goal is to destroy the U.S. government. Not even ISIS or the KGB could accomplish so much.

    Transition team is not part of the Government.. If his kids were giving him advice once he is President of course i would have an issue with it. The media is going what they do hyping this beyond logic.

    Because the point of Conflict of Interest laws are about preventing any impropriety before it happens, not waiting and hoping it doesn't happen, and attempting to deal with it after the fact (which I don't see happening in a Trump/Republican controlled Govt)
    They are advising him on which people to install into the most prominent positions in govt.


    Conflict of Interest laws
    https://www.oge.gov/web/oge.nsf/Fin...E07A0C541EF92CF385257E96006364E1?opendocument

    There are a lot of grey areas for Trump as it relates to these rules.

    The idea is that for the public to have faith in their executive branch, even the appearance of such conflicts should be avoided. Trump and his family are basically thumbing their nose at any appearance of impartiality

    Trump's kids involved? Almost as shocking as the 1990's when we got two Clintons (a co-presidency) for the price of one.
