When trying to get our preschool licensed, we had a very tight timeline. Our consultants came out on a Sunday for the final approval. I asked them, once approved, if I could buy them some coffee for their time and help. They said no, it was illegal to accept gifts.

In the late 80s I worked for a test equipment company. When we held seminars promoting our equipment we had to put out a container that allowed government employees to pay for the coffee we supplied.

My dad was a Marine who once (1950s) was part of a ceremonial guard for the king of Saudi Arabia. At the end of the visit, each Marine was given a gold watch and a $100 bill by the king. A State Department representative confiscated the watches and an IRS agent handed each Marine a tax form. 😄

Thrown out for just that race?

Exactly!

The refusal of the Trump administration to follow the law is not a reason to give up on passing laws. It is a reason for Congress to keep doing (that is, *start* doing) its job of oversight and passing more laws in response.

We did the same!

What in the world do we think Kamala Harris owes anyone right now? She wanted to do right by her country, they told her to sit down. This is not her mess to clean up. This is not Hillary's mess to clean up. This is not Obama's mess to clean up. Where's BUSH? Where's Romney? This is their party.

Absolutely- they owe America nothing

AOC and Bernie are actually elected officials, all the others are not and have been declined by America sadly. Soooo. This is a FAFO

Sounds super efficient

Yeah right , sure they will

People also cheered and clapped

Ew.
And also no way he wrote this

“ to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law”

Which is nothing

So it’s performative
