if trump can pull this off, it will change everything
 

Trump administration will ban lobbyists, enact five-year lobbying ban after leaving government

Trump administration will ban lobbyists, enact five-year lobbying ban after leaving government

new game now... see? do you fucking get why trump got elected now?

lobbying in other countries is called by its real name: corruption

a five year ban? how about a permanent ban?...its illegal everywhere else save for politics...

Obama had 2 years. They just do "consulting" during the ban. It changes nothing. i think both sides would support this but no one will really do it.

By the way, Michael Flynn and Rudy Giuliani are lobbyists too.

bronco take your leftward propaganda, twist it sideways, & stick it up your candy ass.

This cannot be real, can it? How do people fall for this?

Trump isn't banning lobbyists, he is out right employing them. He is moving the lobbyists directly into the White House. He is not banning them, he is giving them jobs so they can continue to influence the government to promote their cause.

Wasn't Giuliani a consultant for foreign governments including Iran and Qatar?

Some quick research tells me he was: Giuliani took money from Qatar, Venezuela, Iranian exiles - POLITICO

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. This will be so much fun!

First president-elect not to divulge his taxes !

First-president elect not comiting to put his personal assets in a blind trust or divest of them !

( Repubs even has a peanutgate about Carter ... lol )

Yes, such a great model and a beacon of transparency .... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Knowable facts aren't propaganda. How about a worthwhile retort instead of the stock answer you idiots always come up with?

trump is the kind of guy --- and you, me and everyone else here has known this kind of guy --- who will tell you it's raining while he takes a piss on you. I worked in an office with a guy like that, and only a small number of people (myself included) saw through his bullshit. Most people didn't.

It's the trait of a narcissistic sociopath. They can only get by in life with lies and bullshit, because they have nothing else. Smart people can see through them but they rely on dipshits who don't analyze anything to keep them afloat.

Obama already did this.


In fact the only reason Trump can now do it, is because Obama signed a executive action to allow him to do it. Obama already has a 2 year ban for his administration.

The problem is, there is no way to stop them from being hired as consultants which ends up being the same thing as a lobbyist.. Meaning with both Obama's ban and Trump's it doesn't really change anything.

What needs to happen, is elected officials dealing with lobbyists should be considered bribery. The only thing these so called bans stop is after they are out of office, but doesn't even stop that. While in office and able to create policy, they can be bribed by lobbyists.

I guess though this means you now support Obama as it was his executive action that allowed this to happen and because of the fact Obama has already done the same thing..

Here's the primer on Lobbying :

Corruption, American-Style-The Daily Show with Trevor Noah - Video Clip | Comedy Central

The US Constitution bans any retroactive law. Every current lobbyist would be grandfathered in. Nothing would really change :2 cents:

I'm sure Trump will incorporate all Obama's good ideas... that's the way business works

Great and I'm sure Trump will use Obama's other good ideas
