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. Thank you, bbbearsmom , for your more "general" response, and finreporter , for your more specific response. And your "middle finger to the law/constitution" wording is priceless!

I'm convinced the US has more stupid people than reasonable people.
I'm glad I don't have any children or grandchildren.

finreporter, She and Mr. Lani had to evacuate a few days ago. She said it would probably be a while before she could get online. The paper said DT went after mail-in voting last night. We are living through history and it isn't pleasant history.

I'm wondering if it's for real too. If it is real go ahead and tell them. They won't believe you anyway. Lol.
I hope Lani and her DH are safe and sound. There are no words to explain the horrors of these fires.
My heart breaks for everyone in the path of these destructive and deadly fires, including wildlife, strays, beloved pets, all trees, plants, and flowers. Too sad.

I never thought I'd see the day we had an irrational, unqualified, bully and thug in the WH, that has the blessing of people who claim to be religious.
The main qualification for serving in the WH these days is to be a liar and proud of it.
The WH looks more like a circus with people driving up to the door every day in clown cars.
Many Americans are ok with that. Even happy about it.
Dumb and dumber is in now. A bunch of fools.
I don't think we can possibly get any lower. We're already low enough to play hand ball on the curb. What's lower than that. Hell?
I picture don choosing someone for a position by playing pin the tail on the donkey.

yeah we are without a doubt at one of our lowest points. we were equally low when slavery was legal but now we just found ways to shoot black people in the back or when sleeping or whenever poor widdle white man gets scared.

finreporter , bbbearsmom , Lani and Mr. Lani were going to spend the first night of evacuation in a hotel. After that, they were going to stay with friends. They could be having issues with connectivity. Let's hope that's all it is. Before last night, both Hershel Walker and Nikki Haley said they had faced discrimination and hardship in America. It's insane. Forget "Two Americas", there's an alternative reality now. DotRen , ugh Rene, I saw that clip last night. I agree with Fin - it's maddening. We won't know who won until Christmas!

Yes, we have fires here as well. So far they aren't threatening any homes or structures, but the air quality is bad. I took this picture from our development last Friday. It's around 2700 acres, still growing and only 18% contained. There is another fire on the other side of us that just started as well.
