I really doubt you need it spelled out.

Let it go man. He's a troll plain and simple. He's on his last legs. His game is coming to an end. If it doesn't this thread will melt down, the mods will close it, and he'll get exactly what he wants. Ignore him and use the report button.

I do love the hand wringing over Obama.

"How will Democrats reconcile Obama taking cash for a speech from Wall Street?"

Probably by knowing he isn't the president anymore, or even a politician... why are Democrats the only ones who seem to know who the President is?

President Donald Trump on Thursday reflected on his first 100 days in office with a wistful look at his life before the White House.

"I loved my previous life. I had so many things going," Trump told Reuters in an interview. "This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier."
He thought being President of the United States would be easier than being a real estate mogul who sits in a gilded tower selling his name and hosting a reality show.

Let's see. What's more problamatic: Us knowing an ex-president is taking money from a special interest group now that he's out of office OR the current president and his companies potentially taking money from an unknown number of interest groups, including foreign governments and operatives, because he won't disclose his taxes, completely recuse himself and his government-employed family members from their corporate interests, has hired an astounding collection of grifters and influence peddlers to run his campaign and administration, and several of which have failed senate confirmation and / or are under investigation by various agencies?

I know. It's a tough call to make.

I find it strange the support Patient protection and affordable Care act is getting these days I guess people really do hate Trump if it means supporting something he doesn't like.

I still don't think he ever wanted to be president or actually thought he would win! And now he's stuck and tying to get them to throw him out so he doesn't have to do the job anymore but can cry foul!

You know what, I'm actually going to sympathize with him a bit here. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way trying to dismiss any stupid, horrible, clueless thing that he has done as (as sick as this even makes me to type) President of the United States....(barf)

Every President has things that they miss doing, the job is very restrictive in so many ways, in terms of things like just going for a drive, or to the store for a bag of chips. I can sympathize with that. You don't have a lot of freedom to do what you want (unless it's going to Tsar-a-Lago every weekend.) Not much else though. Even a dip#### idiot narcissist like Trump can get some culture shock.

That's the hilarious part of this to me. When someone running for President is getting 400K from a Wall Street firm for a speech, certainly that's cause for concern, because how will that affect his or her policy choices?

But when someone is no longer President and can't really run for office again? Who cares if someone wants to give the guy an exorbitant amount of money to talk for an hour? It doesn't really affect anything other than his wallet at this point.

Again, for all of this worry about Obama, we've got a guy in office right now with more conflicts of interest than probably the last 6 Presidents combined and no one really cares all that much about those issues.

Oh, and after bringing up Planned Parenthood and "killing babies is wrong," Arkansas just executed their 4th prisoner in 7 days. Gotta hurry through these executions, their lethal injection drugs are expiring, so they're rush-executing as many people as possible.

But that's not for the pro-life types to worry about because those people are already out of the womb.

This part absolutely disgusts me. I firmly believe the death penalty is wrong (to be fair sometimes knee jerk reactions have made me wish for the death penalty, but reason eventually prevails.)

Now I have no idea about these cases, no opinion on them, no evidence either way, however these "rush executions" to save some money on the lethal injection drugs is horrific. I can't even articulate how wrong this is...

Can we stop calling him a real estate mogul, he's just a shill that sells his brand, his dad was the real estate guy.

After reading a little on the crimes these guys did and eventually admitted, lethal injection with javex bleach would have been fine with me.

Hell, the public guillotine would be good for these idiots.

He was gonna kill NAFTA, but then they brought in some colouring books with maps of how badly cancelling NAFTA would screw his own voters over, and President Five Year Old was won over.

So how do you feel about Hilary's paid speeches before she became democrat presidential nominee? Remember Bernie with the "release the transcripts!"?

Comparing unborn babies to convicted murderers? Is this even a thing?
