Let's throw another log on the fire. Let's turn this into a bon fire!
Of Course the Trump's are trying to raid the coffers on their way out!
Like the Clintons and the Obama's. It's a time honored tradition.
Except Trump is losing millions since he took the position.
well sure, but thats is because he is greedy, it has to be true the left said so.......
The level of cognitive dissonance is amazing.
I predict this whole discussion will be entirely different by Christmas.

Stop being divisive.
You really should UNITE.
They don't understand that they are a part of #Resist.
I blame our Department of Education for that.
However, we as citizens should still attempt to educate the unfortunates....
~sigh~

It amazes me.
They say, "Trump is so divisive."
Then they say, "I hate him, I will fight him to the death AND BEAT ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR HIM!"
smh

Yea... Trump was naive enough to think that after the election, people would accept the results and go forward as a nation.
I'm personally leaning towards your idea of throat punching our representatives who just outright lie and get away with it.

Trump, naive?? he ran the his whole campaign on divisiveness, 'I'd like to punch him in the face " material.
Elsewhere, he liked to, or rather, "didn't care", while hoping that he could kick people off their own land for his own purpose...AKA greed, and you want to tell me he is naive??
I don't think any Cherokee would appreciate that should it have been their homeland...would er, you?

Trump should be on the top of your list then.
But, be careful. You can threaten lots of people (Democrats), but if you threaten the president, even in sarcastic jest, you will be investigated to the bone by the Secret Service, be put on "No Fly" lists, among others, and have to pay big $$$$ to lawyers to restore your life.

Why intentionally divide it further though? The last thing we needed was a 4 Chan level Twitter troll in the white house. The last time this country was united was in the aftermath of 9-11 and even then they used our emotions to get in to mindless wars with Afghanistan and Iraq.

I should add that I don't have any animosity toward so-called "lobbyists." I'm sure you already know, but the term comes from the practice of hiring people to "hold a place in line" in the lobby before attendance to a public hearing on a given matter. A "lobbyist" is inherently democratic, in a capitalist society. I happen to believe that capitalism is better than other proposed economic systems, and I feel that democracy is better than other proposed political systems. I think lobbyists are a product of the least worst system we've managed to devise, given the circumstances. Those circumstances? Pride and greed, then secondarily lust, envy, and wrath, then lastly gluttony and sloth, in that order. No different than any other value system. Capitalism just doesn't put on pretenses about what people want. I think that honesty is to be commended.
A law represents the redistribution of rights from one class of people to another. I think that's an important definition. There's nothing inherently unjust about a law, even the worst ones ever passed, for instance Jim Crow laws, were "just" just by the mere fact of having been passed. We can have debates about natural law versus the law of man, I personally love those sorts of discussions, and that's probably something for another thread. My point here, in this thread, is that the passing of a law is inherently a socialist act. It is the redistribution of rights from the infringers of said law to the infringee. And NOBODY SANE thinks laws are a bad idea! Murderers infringe upon the rights of the infringee to breathe, for example.
Those old bastards who came up with the 10 Commandments(and let's face it, they probably died much younger on average than we do now) had a pretty good idea, and then the founders had another good idea(also to have died younger than we do now, on average) and now here we are! Young, dumb, and full of cum. Thinking we know better.
Relax.
