Rupar has a few posts on Obama and Colbert.

OBAMA: A good policy that I'd like to see followed is that the president shouldn't have a bunch of side hustles that companies and foreign entities can invest in

COLBERT: How much of that is just jealousy that you didn't think of selling sneakers?

1. I don't know about that

Concentrating the greed in the Oval Office might make things worse.

2. Too much in DC relies on "norms and customs". This nonsense needs to be codified against in law with real penalties.

I would hope the Dems have been keeping a running list of all the things we can no longer leave to norms, customs and what used to be just plain polite behavior.

10. Try the Emoluments Clause for starters.

5. Busted, Barack! Seriously, though, what color sneakers ...

... go with a tan suit?

If Speaker Johnson makes a third term legal, I'm voting for Obama.

11. Good point. The 3rd term talk would end if

people started calling for Obama to run again.

6. "Side hustles" are an intricate part of "Swamp creatures".

That’s why maga voters keep approving of trump’s behavior.

7. silly me. i thought that's what the emoluments clause said.

[wnylib]

12. But what enforcement teeth does it have?

[kentuck]

8. "side hustles"??

That's being generous.

[MontanaMama]

13. Exactly this.

9. ;-{) HUSTLER

15. "Side hustles" is a nice term for outright corruption

PBO won't say it out loud, but Chump 2.0 is the sleaziest, vilest, and most corrupt presidency ever.

16. I think

Convicted Felons ,be they sociopaths, sex offenders, financial abusers ect. Should be barred from running for office. Any office. Trump would not be president if felons couldn’t be president , nor house and senate.. I bet 80-90% of republicans in there now got lots of ugly shady shit in thier closets.

Bar felons from office

17. Its like in the constitution or something...
