It’s been two days and your already complaining about the new President? FFS man give it a year and let him do some work and then maybe you will have something better to complain about, I tell you what though, you can complain all you want, but it is not going to change anything…

 

Honestly, I thought this at first. But MasterP and republicans had to hear complaining from liberals like myself for 8 years. I don’t see anything wrong with complaining. The real truth is we are probably *edited*ed regardless who is in office, and this partisan bull*edited* is just set up to delay the inevitable end. He has the right to complain, that’s why America is so great, we have the freedom to say whatever we want about whoever we want (to an extent of course).

 

To keep this relative:

 

3 (a) The Director of the Office of Management and Budget, or his or her designee, in consultation with the Counsel to the President or his or her designee, may grant to any current or former appointee a written waiver of any restrictions contained in the pledge signed by such appointee if, and to the extent that, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, or his or her designee, certifies in writing (i) that the literal application of the restriction is inconsistent with the purposes of the restriction, or (ii) that it is in the public interest to grant the waiver. A waiver shall take effect when the certification is signed by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget or his or her designee.

 

(B) The public interest shall include, but not be limited to, exigent circumstances relating to national security or to the economy. De minimis contact with an executive agency shall be cause for a waiver of the restrictions contained in paragraph 3 of the pledge.

 

that up there is the part of the executive order you are talking about which allows him to make that exception. “Exigent circumstances relating to national security or to the economy.” Sounds like standard political verbiage. Bush wouldn’t have been smart enough to even add this. lol
