I’m not

[JennysCool]

I'd like to see if there was some way of motivating more talented people to run for these offices.

America's most successful businessman is running right now, and getting nothing but crap from people in his own party.

The "political class" does NOT want non-politicians running for office.

“Why do Millionaires need tax payer’s hard earned money”

Wow, you get the award for the most racist statement ever uttered in the history of this universe and the five closest parallel ones

When did millionaire become a race?

“When did millionaire become a race?”

When the target of this “program” is the first pResident with a larger than average density of melanin molecules per cubic centimeter of epidermis. Even the mere thought of denying this welfare payment is the height of racism.

[Mastador1]

No it’s the height of greed, chutzpah and a total lack of respect of the American people.

Ahhhh the President Club. They’re all multi-millionaires. Plus free health care, pension, secret service,
book deals, speaking engagements, libraries.
In other words Obama needs to buy three or four new cars after the family gets off the t*tty.

Maybe he knows how expensive it will be to protect ex-President Hillary in her jail cell setting?

“I get it that these two are imbeciles but what I don’t get is why are there so many in the voting world who are willing to support these two imbeciles???? “

Because they are even bigger imbeciles. Or what Lenin called them: Useful idiots. Or what I call them: UseLESS idiots.

“Burn the whole ####ing system down to the ground and start over. Figuratively speaking, of course.”

“You’ve no idea how perilously close I came to responding to that with “speak for yourself”.”

I see what you did there. :>)

Oh, and I concur. Fortunately, Donald Trump can afford the world’s largest flamethrower.

“Former President Bill Clinton, for example, earned $132 million for delivering paid speeches between February 2001 and March 2015, according to an analysis from CNN. Clinton received $924,000 in taxpayer dollars last year by way of the Former Presidents Act.”

Uh, that’s not all that the former Philanderer-in-Chief gets, not by a long short. Let’s not forget that he and Cankles had a small structure built on the property of their Chappaqua estate, in which the Secret Service agents who guard them (at our expense) reside and have their equipment...and the Clintons CHARGE THE SECRET SERVICE RENT for that structure - which, not so coincidentally, just about pays the mortgage and taxes on the entire property.

As Mel Brooks said, “It’s good to be the King!” - or a corrupt one who can get away with it, anyway.

“with a pension, office staff and support, funds for travel, Secret Service protection, and mailing privileges. It also provides benefits for presidential spouses”

They shouldn’t get anything beyond Secret Service. Not even a pension for 4 to 8 years of employment. Their bedwarmer should get nothing.

[Ancesthntr]

“Long SHOT” not “long short.” Derrrrrr.

[Salvation]

Can he do that?

[FrankR]

Does the bastard want to keep Air Force One, too?

[Organic Panic]

Of course he needs more money. He is going to have to house his secret service team at his new hacienda in Cuba, his Kailua house, his Chicago house, his Aspen house, his France house, his Spanish house, his Indonesian house, and his DC house. He’ll be the first billionaire ex-president and needs to keep that horrid wife of his happy. They can’t be expected to mingle with the little people.

>>When did millionaire become a race?

Geez, didn’t you READ: “this universe and the *five closest parallel ones*” /s

[TribalPrincess2U]

NO p-resident should be allowed to do that.

Can it be undone?
