deb, the emolument clause is real... it was put in by the founders to fight corruption..
see the Meme above your entry.. it is a good one..
Yes, trump gave it up and I agree with you that the G7 will be at camp david.
2 billions for that 10 day vacation?? that is another right wing lie that you will never let go of. it is not true..
Taxes???!!! I have and continue to pay a ton of taxes.. i do not like taxes, but I see it a duty which every patriotic american does to pay for the services our government provides.
Of course none of us benefits by every service provided, but they are part and parcel of what make our nation the great nation we live in..
None of us gets to pick and choose the services we want and none others we all pay for all services..
No other process would work for the nation.
And to point out again, trump was not trying to save money for the country, he was trying to put more of the taxpayers money into his own pocket.. the only value he sees in being president is to make more money.

FACT: you're wrong.
I understood that Trump said that the way the emolument clause was used against him was phony. My observation was that immediately upon suggesting his resort Progressives, like Barney Fife, pulled their single bullet out of their shirt pocket and started screaming "CITIZEN'S ARREST, CITIZEN'S ARREST."

Padre, if this were a simple matter of the law as applied to all the rest of society, the orange one would have been locked up for many crimes long ago..
The founders put the emolument clause in for a reason..
It is not at all a joke or to be ignored... By anyone.. no matter how much money daddy left him..

FACT: We've never had a president disrespect the U.S. Constitution more than Donald Trump.
Tell Congress to impeach this criminal president here

Trump said the emoluments clause is 'phony.' But it's part of the US Constitution.

Glad we cleared that up! And all it required was the destruction of the United States.

They were also going to guard the Iraq oil.. but today Irag said NO... only pass through, they can not stay in Iraq..
So now will all are troops guard only the Saudi oil wells or are will others also be under our protection?
Now that Russia has such a presence in the ME and Turkey is moving so close to Putin, maybe we will have to move all our troops into Saudi Arabia.. will they all pay to camp in a trump hotel?

BS to all of you.. The world, not only myself, questions the sanity of everyone who is part of the orange cult..
Think for yourself and your own interests.. the only thing in the world that orange POS cares about is himself.
He will and does throw everyone under the bus at his whim..
You all have a very nice day, Turkey and Putin are getting together today, more testimony about trumps criminal acts today..
It may be a day to remember, for several reasons..
Enjoy...

Spin,
You really need to look out the window at times and see the real world.. nothing you have posted on todays OPP is true.. nothing..
Those troops you all said were coming home...
NO... they are going to watch over the oil wells for the Saudis..
It is not the politics trump wants to be part of, it is the money of the ME oil.. so our troops will not be coming home, they will camp in a different part of the sand pile so no one can harm the orange friends who have the easy but great oil.. and money...

One issue that unites Republicans and DFLers in Minnesota? Biofuels
By Walker Orenstein | 10/15/2019
Farmers face ‘collateral damage’
Biofuels have long been a money maker for farmers, but the last few years have made Minnesota’s ag businesses more reliant on the industry.
As part of its trade war with the Trump administration, China slapped tariffs on soybeans and crimped U.S. imports of ethanol, including a byproduct known as distillers grains. Trade with Mexico and Canada has also been strained while the Trump administration seeks ratification of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. At the same time, high crop yields have brought down commodity prices for farmers, even as heavy rains and flooding have interfered with planting and harvest in Minnesota.
Gov. Tim Walz
Gov. Tim Walz
So as the president granted dozens of waivers since he took office to oil refineries that allow them to not blend biofuels into their gasoline, he faced sharp backlash from ag interests. The exemptions to the Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS) were originally meant for small refineries facing economic hardship, although many of the new exemptions benefited plants owned by oil giants like Chevron and Exxon Mobil.
Farmers said the waivers cut demand for biofuels at a time when agriculture is already struggling. About 40 percent of corn grown in the U.S. is used for ethanol, and at least 18 plants across the country have been idled in the last year — including one in Minnesota. The state has 19 ethanol plants, and three plants for biodiesel, which is typically derived from soybeans.
In September, Walz wrote a letter with South Dakota’s Republican Gov. Kristi Noem saying they were “extremely concerned” by the waivers Trump has approved since taking office. The pair said the latest round of waivers — 31 in the last year alone — “undermines the integrity of the RFS and harms our states’ agricultural communities, which have already been affected by the Administration’s tariffs.” Walz chairs the Governors’ Biofuels Coalition and Noem is the vice chairwoman.
That same month, 15 Republicans in Minnesota’s GOP-led Senate also sent a letter to Trump, writing the president’s waivers were “hurting Minnesota farmers and businesses.”
Joe Smentek, executive director of the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association, said soybean farmers are tired of being “collateral damage” in Washington over trade fights and other issues that aren’t fundamentally about agriculture.

This has been a long story in Minnesota.. we have indeed several mine proposals for the arrowhead part of Minnesota..
The company most in question is from Chile, also a Swiss company and some Canadian interests..
These mines threaten the lake Superior water shed as well as that of the boundry waters..
The latter has gained much attention because after being stopped based on past practice and the possable down side, trump and company stopped all study and gave it the OK to operate..
In fact denied access to a study done by the DNR/EPA...
Now locked in court battles we have both state parties involved and looks as if a 2 or 3 year struggle to get to the next step. Wh**ever that may be..
It is a no brainer for me. the risk in next door to me by global standards and the returns would go to South America..
risk is not worth the probable loss..

Sulfide-ore copper mining, the process of extracting metals from sulfide-ore, has never been tried in Minnesota. Extracting sulfide ore is risky in that, when its exposed to air and water, it creates sulfuric acid that can leach into nearby water. But Twin Metals, a subsidiary of Chilean mining conglomerate Antof*gasta, aims to try it (PolyMet, a similar Minnesota project not in the BWCA watershed, is closer to completion). The project proposed by the company would be an underground copper, nickel, platinum group metals and cobalt mine in Birch Lake, just outside of the BWCA. The company holds a number of mineral leases from the federal government that give it the right to develop its mine.
The Bureau of Land Management, part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, decides whether or not mineral leases are renewed. In December 2016, the Obama administration did not renew the Twin Metals mineral leases. The administration contended that the type of proposed mining, sulfide-ore copper mining, may pose significant environmental risks. The administration also committed to studying the issue better, issuing a two-year study that could result in a 20 year moratorium on mining in the region, if it was found to be too risky.
But the Trump administration reversed course, renewing the leases and canceling the study investigating the potential harm of copper-nickel mining in the region.
