No official who holds any sort of authority should have any side hustles. Complete divestment should be a non-negotiable requirement of holding any public office or public position of authority.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well I say the president shouldn’t be a child rapist. But here we are.
Making billions is his MAIN HUSTLE. He has already multiplied his wealth this term. His crime family is getting rich, too.
It's no "side hustle". See:
All the presidents back to the 1920s, combined, up to this term for trump, made $400 million while in office.
All of them. Added up to $400 million.
Trump had made over a billion dollars in his first year.
Best grift ever.
The presidency shouldn't be your side hustle. He's just here to boost his main gigs. :/

You are stupid. Don't get me wrong, being stupid is fine. The world needs all types.
But maybe before posting dumb shit you could ask yourself 'Am I posting this because I'm a fucking moron?' and if the answer is yes, just go back to eating school glue instead of posting.
Ha. If you don’t like the rate don’t hire Obama for your corporate event. That is the I’ll do it if you pay me rate.
