Running government like a business and right into the ground

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump voters got one thing right: He’s running the government like a business. Regrettably, it’s Trump University, Trump Airlines, casinos, and the rest of his inept undertakings.

Or maybe not. It’s unclear that Trump is the one in charge. After all, he brags he doesn’t read and doesn’t need briefings. As protests against his Muslim ban unfolded, he was holding a private screening of (not kidding) “Finding Dory.” The appellation “man-child,” it turns out, might be understated.

No, this presidency seems to be the work of chief adviser Steve Bannon, proud white nationalist, and, reportedly, a self-described Leninist who wants to “destroy the state” and “bring everything crashing down.” (Daily Beast: tinyurl.com/steve-burn) Imagine his delectation at ensnaring Donald “You-Do-It-I’m-Watching-Cartoons” Trump. Court orders? Ignore them. Acting attorney general willing to take a stand against unconstitutional regulations? Fire her in the nastiest way possible. (Washington Post: tinyurl.com/fired-bad)

If irony hadn’t died in November, I’d mention that in 2015 Trump’s nominee for AG asked that same woman if she’d refuse an illegal order, because, he said, that’s what an attorney general must do sometimes. On what basis shall we believe that Sen. Sessions, a full-throated cheerleader and high-level political adviser to Trump, would do so?

5. They forget that Trump's secret to making money is not paying his bills and not paying taxes.

If we did the same (and weren't arrested), we'd have money, too.

6. You can't run government like a business...

...and any politician that runs on that platform is full of sh*t... IMO...

A business's mandate is to make a profit... period.

A government cannot make a profit from the functions of government... public safety, health and welfare, infrastructure, etc. We see republicon politicians preaching for the privatization of many of these functions and in many cases where they have (prisons, toll roads, etc.) the result is never good for We the People... All the profit goes to the private corporation, and the government gets very little return for the People's investment...

Regarding Sessions, I would have loved to hear a Dem with a spine ask him if he believes that his Bible supersedes our Constitution, and don't let him double speak his answer... I believe that for many of these traitors in our government that is their mandate...
