Laws need to come into force sometime - and as long as we're not going to get a ping-pong law that's repealed as soon as republicans get into power then I don't mind it happening while democrats hold the torch. I am well aware of the hypocrisy some folks show on this topic but, honestly, it's a good law no matter who is in power and if we're just trying to be petty we won't get anything done.

Can you provide any sources for your claims that prove Trump administration personnel directly profited off any supposed self dealings? Or are you just pulling this out of your ass bc you are a lib? Also, who else specifically do you "speak for"?

This article isn't even about self-serving decisions that may benefit politicians down the road...it's about politicians who are actively using politician-privy inside information for short term profit at the expense of their constituents. But hey let's keep crying about orange man bad!

The “orange man” was bad.

This is getting tired. If you are interested in his cronies’ self dealings just look it up. They did all of these things and more but also did them more explicitly. Which is a bit more honest in a way I guess?

But the worst part about 2017-2020 was the way he cozied up to enemies of democracy, undermined democracy himself and made a point of sowing and igniting division.

Back to the article, this behaviour is despicable and should be punished for everyone, D or R.

> just look it up. They did all of these things and more

Can you provide a single example with a source that proves this? And please provide an example of how he "undermined democracy". Sounds like you watch a lot of CNN.

I agree it should be punished equally not depending on D or R.

Sure, here’s one for the former (link below) and for the second you might remember the refusal to accept the election results and months of egging his supporters on, culminating in an attack on the US Capitol and the deaths of 4 or more people.
