I'm not a fan of running a country like a business. A business has one goal and that's to make money, a lot of money. Profit is all that matters.
The leader of a country has one goal too. Keeping the people of the country safe and sound. It's not all that matters but it is the most important. Personal profit is not.

birdgal, Although one of things probably should be that the country doesn't go broke.

Absoulety!
I don't want the country to go broke. I hope it didn't sound like that. I don't want greedy politicians stuffing their own pockets with money intended for The People.
Then again, I also want world peace. So much for my wants. Lol.

Not for personal profit. Isn't there some kind of law that says the President may not earn personal money by being president or something like that?

I'm not sure about the law. Even if it was against the law, the being in the Oval Office doesn't care about a stinking law. Anymore than he cares about a stinking oath.
He only cares about one thing and that's himself.
He cares more about his friendship with dictators than he does about the lives of our military, or even our lives.
And yet he has the support of those who call themselves followers of Jesus. I don't get it.

i know there is the emoluments clause of the constitution. that says you can't accept financial incentive or gifts/profit off of foreign powers. he's already violated that any time he had a foreign government rep stay in any of his properties during the time of his presidency. so among countless other things, he's given the middle finger to the law/constitution.

Hopefully, in November, without any help from his friends, or any other deceitful trick he can pull out of his behind, we can give it right back.
However, I have very little confidence in anything fair truly happening when this goon, and his goonies are involved.

i know. it's really depressing. i read the saddest article yesterday that had interviews with postal workers and they said mail is piling up to the point of rotting food and rotting live animals (for example, people send live chicks through USPS and normally they arrive within a day or two (with airholes in the box and the workers said they know when it's live and to be careful with it and to get it moving to destination quickly) but the mail truck employees were told that they must not leave with the final delivery of the day past the 8 hour workday (normally they'd wait til the last load was on the truck, which could extend late into the night to ensure it got to its destination on time).
so while dejoy said he'd suspend the changes, he already made enough change to do damage. and turns out mnuchin has been trying to do these changes (on orders from the master) for months now. it's not recent. that puffball has had his eye on this for a long time and it's only now coming to fruition.

also just to add, i have hope for november given the momentum we've got and the frustration and anger and realization for need to change the current shitshow plus move forward from the previous status quo even during obama years, but i'm wary because we have a spoiled baby for whom it's more important to win than it is to play fair.

Those poor little baby birds. Perhaps it would be a good idea not to send live animals the same way we send sale flyers and bills. But, don't get me started!
We are a despicable lot. Cruel and inhumane. The intelligent species because we can drive a car? Says who? Oh wait. We do. ðŸ˜
I wish there really was a thing called Karma, or payback. But, if wishes came true I'd be young, thin, beautiful, and rich.

i agree that i'd personally not send live animals through the post, but apparently this is common and there are not many issues with doing so. i don't think you can send a box of kittens or puppies but maybe small livestock is ok. they said also things like crickets get sent and they can usually see them jumping around in their package but that now all the cricket packages have dead crickets instead because of the delays.
not surprisingly, the manbaby and his minions couldn't care less if animals die as long as they get their way.

the postal delays are also causing small businesses to have cash flow issues and have to close down. he is literally fucking the economy over so that he can claim "winning!"

He has no soul, feelings, or compassion. And yet, as much as I despise the man and the ground he slithers along, (sorry snakes) I still despise his supporters more. They feed his demented and twisted ego.
Imagine the outrage, I'm talking outrage with a capital "O" if President Obama said the disgusting, sexist, perverted thing this pervert said about grabbing women.
Honestly I can't even imagine President Obama being so vile or disgusting. Or, any other man who sat in the Oval Office. Vile and gross is in Trumps nature. It's who he is. Period.
