Maybe they thought all their efforts were falling on deaf ears. Its like being in a sinking ship and you'er the only one bailing water while everyone else is raiding the champagne.

It's become clear that politics is definitely lucrative. It's not supposed to be, but I guess we can see why term limits for some congress critters will never come to pass. How else are they supposed to get rich off of the backs of the American people?

That was one of my first thoughts. Too bad he'll only get to enjoy it for 12 years. I wonder how big of a "carbon footprint" the running of a 15 million dollar mansion leaves. Oh well, who cares, it's everyone else who is supposed to change their lifestyle.

This is funny. How did that politician get all that money? A politician is a money machine. You put cash in and more money comes out. You'd expect they would hold a little back for themselves.

I do hold Trump accountable for signing the huge budget CONGRESS puts before him. When he pushes back, the Democrats, and Media cry "Trump is shutting down the government!!!" and everyone panics. I think you will see him push back more during his second term.

Trump made his money in the private sector. The Obamas used Affirmative Action, then government to gain fame and to make their money. They are on every yacht that will have them today. David Geffen's and Richard Branson's to just name two. They are hypocrites, and sell outs of the highest order.
Yeah? It's no older than SOCIALIST! Republicans been flinging that accusation for 50 years.

Your assertion that the Obamas used Affirmative Action is a lie (and racist) and you have zero clue if that's true or not. But you'll spit it out anyway.

Oh, and SURE - Trump wanted LESS money from Congress. Give me a break.

The difference is that the left tried to hide that they were socialists for the longest time, while now they are out in the open and proud of it. So, turns out, we were correct.
