    Two leftists on the mod board are enough to censor you I am sure. Which is sad.

    Kinda shows how weak their arguments are.

    Well then...for the most part the moderators have been lenient with me. Maybe they keep tight reigns here.

    I am part of no effort to attack trump. Unless in your mind, laughing at his tweets is attacking.
    I can't have you banned period. I never said I would or try. Only that you were, for always making stuff up as you do now and attacking other posters.
    And there is no way you could ever piss me off. I would have to care about anything you have to say.

    They only do tightening to those who flamebait, attack, troll, or just act like a butt.
    Follow the rules and there are no problems.

    I act like all of those at times. But I don't try to make it my usual.

    A very corrupt and liberally biased judicary

    The judge they file the suit in already knows he will rule against trump

    Thats why the lib AG's will pick him

    Hillary was Secretary of State, what's your point?

    So what happened to Jimmy Carter when he put his real estate into a blind trust?

    President-elect Trump can't be in the Trump business
    http://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ed-trump-conflicts-of-interest-20161114-story.html

    I don't recall that I said he did. So did he sell off all his holdings when he became President?

    Jesus Christ man, do you even LOOK at the article beyond the headline?

    FIRST SENTENCE: "To avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest, almost every president since 1980 has put his assets into a blind trust, managed by an independent trustee."

    Again, nobody is saying Trump has to sell off all he owns, but just not put himself into a position where he's in a possible conflict of interest.

    How do you put Trump Towers into a blind trust so that it is no longer visible to the naked eye?

    A blind trust has nothing to do with actual physical visibility. Besides his own lodgings there I believe Trump has no more real ownership in Trump Towers anyway

    Did you read the article or just the first sentenece

    "The customary solution for presidents with more run-of-the-mill assets, such as stocks and bonds, is to place their holdings in a blind trust, effectively leaving themselves in the dark about what they own and how their holdings are managed. But Trump presents a special case — a trust couldn’t shield Trump from knowing that his portfolio includes the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., or Trump International Golf Links Scotland, or the Trump this and the Trump that."

    Then I asked you what happened to Jimmy Carter when he put his real estate holdings into a blind trust. You find out yet?

    Trump is the topic and his lack of divestment causing all of these lawsuits. Stay on topic.

    I just used TT as an example that everyone would reconize without having to draw them a picture

    The point is you can never make Trump Enterprizes invisible to trump or the rest of the business and political world

    And my point is "So"? He could still put his businesses into a blind trust, like Jimmy Carter did with what was nothing more than a small family run peanut farm without any problems I could find. The idea that having them run by his son means he no longer has any real say in their workings is ludicrous. He can take them back when he leaves the Presidency and be confident now in the security they are being run by a fiduciary, this is a common arrangement used by rich people who become sick, or heirs who are not old enough, why is it too much trouble for Mr Trump.

    Trump himself has said."“If I become president, I couldn’t care less about my company. It’s peanuts. I want to make America rich again and to make America great again" OK, fine, he should at least use a blind trust, like every President since 1980

    Putting the business in a blind trust will not satisfy the rabid trump haters

    No matter what concessions trump makes the left will just move on to some other complaint

    We may as well fight them here as someplace else

    Still not a reason not to do it ;). He could do it to avoid all of these issue and concentrate on working for the country's interests only. You know, what you would expect from the POTUS and a patriot.
