Am I piece of **** if I don't care about that tweet in the slightest?

Well you should considering John Lewis is a civil rights hero.

I have to be upset every time someone doesn't bow down to a civil rights hero?

Not really the point. That's like saying "I don't give a **** what Martin Luther King fought for."

God forbid you should say anything about a black dude when it's a civil rights holiday. Who the **** cares?

So this equates to "**** MLKJ" for you?

No it's like saying "I don't particularly like this person who keeps talking **** about me in public." You self-righteous cracker.

That's not even close to what I said. Or my point for that matter. John Lewis is a civil rights hero and for Donald Trump to basically call him out is like saying "Martin Luther King shouldn't be celebrated." You're not thinking about the source.

You're an idiot. John Lewis is a person who can be criticised as much as anyone else. Being able to talk **** about people without them being put on pedestals is why we assassinated the king of England.

I quoted the actual tweet, not an article telling you how outraged you should be about the tweet. You really think that tweet means that MLKJ shouldn't be celebrated?

lol ok. maybe you need to research some more before you make such silly claims.

also r.i.p obamacare.

You think that John Lewis can never be criticized and he's the one making silly claims?

What a pity that committee isn't called something like the Office of Government Rules and Ethics, then the acronym would be OGRE! :laughing:

Also, is everyone not missing the connections that were drawn between Obama and Osama? Never mind his middle name; Over here, that was the one we heard the most about, that it was even being said "Vote for him and you're putting Osama in the White House!"

And didn't they call him "Obama Bin Laden" too?

Batty, that's some crazy world you live in. Or are you just quoting The Simpsons again ... oh, wait.

OMG you ended racism by white knighting a civil rights dude. Congrats, retard.

Huh.

To each his own. If a family member of LL Bean wants to contribute to a political action committee in favor of Trump then that is her prerogative. It wasn't like no one was contributing to Hillary Clinton's campaign committee and super PACs in favor of her.

You're dumb. This is basically the President (Elect) of the United States being a shill for a corporation. What if Obama suddenly stopped in the middle of the State of the Union address to plug Vanilla Coke?

Slimfast should've endorsed Trump. Imagine a first successful presidential weight loss miracle for their ads. It'd be unprecedented!

Trump needs to get that Viagra sponsorship. for those times when you're tired of winning so much but still need to celebrate.

You're just frontin'. Where in that post did I say what Donald Trump did was ethical? I didn't. Why do I have to tell you I didn't. It's cause you go off on a tangent like I don't know what I am saying.

If the U.S. Office of Government Ethics states that "All executive branch employees must refrain from misuse of position, including endorsements." Then he should refrain from endorsing products considering the position he is about to hold, the office of the president of the Unite States. I have no qualms over that so don't act like I do.

What I was addressing was the mindset of the "Activist" who want punish Trump supporter and boycott any thing and everything related to them. You know presidential campaigns are not free. Hillary Clinton raised $932.3 million to loose, and that was a fine investment. Why isn't donating a little cash to a political action committee in favor of Trump equally respected?

you're both wrong, it goes like this.

so basically there was a time, long before you were born, where the Internet decided to take a simple meme one step too far.

I'd describe it the same way as Obama's election: the stronger social media force won.

pretty accurate tbh, played a large role in Canada's last election as well. the future of politics ladies and gentlemen.

Either way you were just trying to deflect criticism cause you're a generic conservative hack.

Your comment about assassinating the king of England. It was too late to quote it.
Yeah I have to agree. The point being made was not, I think, that corporations should not be able to contribute to presidential campaigns, but that after they have done and their guy has won, that guy, the new president, should not be able to basically advertise for them. Payback like that is certainly unethical.

Do it behind closed doors like the rest of our presidents, Trump!

Why was it too late to quote it?

Well to be fair, Trump hasn't been inaugurated to any formal office as of yet, so even now he's still just a private citizen. So if he wants to tweet and give shout outs to companies, CURRENTLY it is perfectly within his rights to do so. After the 20th though...not so much.

On another note....it all makes sense now!

While it's within his power to do so, it's not particularly smart to do so. This just cements the fact that those companies will do whatever they can not to work with him.

I had already quoted other posts and couldn't add it. What do you care?
Well, he is the president elect, and nobody is going to be stupid enough not to know and realise that if the president elect endorses something, it's pretty much the same as the president doing it, only that few days prior. You think he's going to withdraw the comment once he's in office??

+1

I'm confused as to what the hell you're talking about. You can quote multiple people. I do it all the time.

LOL

The big point here is when is The Donald going to grow up and learn how to ignore/deflect criticism? Again, he's not even sitting in the chair yet.

lol why'd he leave the skin around his eyes pink

Just now seeing this. Thank you, internet.

I saw this earlier. It's so good.

.

In a way you're right it's not the point because it wasn't a corporate donation. Linda Bean made a private donation, not a cooperate donation of the company's monkey. Mind you it was more than the allowable amount for that type of PAC, but amount would be allowable if it was a super PAC that can receive an unlimited amount. Scoffing at a $60,000 donation doesn't make sense when somehow other donation can be made in the millions of dollars.

OK the point was noted that Trump shouldn't had made a plug for LL Bean. And if you read Anteater's comment it was a no biggie, he's not in office. So why go after a company LL Bean which has no control over the matter?

Nice try LL Bean, Shannon Counter and her minions won't to see that, beacuase they are boycotting Facebook, dah.

For those upset that LL Bean might make money, please grab your wallet and mail it to George Soros. #grabyourwalletandmailittogeorgesoros

No, he's not going to withdraw the comment and two he doesn't have to. The federal law prevents people in the executive branch from endorsing companies but presidents/president elects are exempt from this law. He can endorse all the companies he wants to all throughout his presidency.

Does it seem unethical? Damn skippy. Is it against the Law? No.
