 Well indeed if so feel free to report me.  I’m not here to do that. 

Well non MDL ers are not really into doing that.

That  is different.

 

Not sure why.

 

Could anyone mention a petition that was successful? That changed policy?

Now this could be useful info to analyze efficiency. IF the petitions were legimately reviewed and evaluated.  But it doesn’t negate the fact that it’s a way for people to reach the government with their displeasure, concern, issues and desires. Isn’t that a fundamental aspect of American society?  

 Personally I’d like to review the $180,000 spent night on Omarosa’s salary and what she did for our government.

 OK well if someone’s gonna bring up the fact that I am possibly violating TOS I would think someone would let me know how  and by reporting me that could occur but anyway that’s fine.  I know was just a joke.  I don’t take any of this stuff personally.

i have no idea what she actually did in her position, but i'm not so sure she was ever supposed to do anything (not that she was the only woman in the white house tasked with allegiance to trump and looking pretty). this article was interesting, i kinda want to see 'soul sistahs' now  reference to that is in the article, this quote describes what's going on well "a status as a kind of truman show'

 

Quote

Even now, out of her job, Omarosa hews to reality-TV conventions, putting a cliffhanger spin on her interviews. “I have quite a story to tell … a profound story,” she told Good Morning America, hinting vaguely that the administration’s racial politics made her “uncomfortable.”

Hired ostensibly to reach out to the African-American community, Omarosa’s responsibilities remained fuzzy at best. An administration serious about this task would surely never have hired Omarosa anyway, given her reputation as a treacherous sellout “persona non grata in the black community,” as Charles Blow put it.

Of course, Omarosa was only playing the role of outreach liaison — a role as theatrical as all her others, and as fictional as the White House’s professed interest in black constituents. Omarosa had to be fired not because she didn’t do her fictional job, but because she exposed it as fictional — as part of the White House reality-TV show. (According to some reports, while Omarosa was being escorted out, co-workers gathered to watch Apprentice reruns of Omarosa being fired — proof positive that this administration is truly a pop culture Hall of Mirrors.)

Timing is always worth noting, and Omarosa’s departure coincides with the stunning upset, in the Alabama Senate race, of Trump’s favored candidate — accused child molester and slavery-nostalgist — Roy Moore, to Doug Jones. It was a watershed moment, decided largely by Alabama’s black voters. Speaking truth to power, they sent a loud message of resistance to the White House. The following day, Omarosa was dismissed.

In other words, at the very moment when African Americans rose up to call Trump out on the racism he denies, Trump ejected not only his only senior black woman staffer, but the only person who regularly lays bare the administration’s utter artifice — its status as a kind of Truman Show. Perhaps the thinking was that by eliminating Omarosa’s truth-revealing presence, they could piece that shattered fourth wall back together again, close ranks, and resume their presidential (un)reality series unperturbed. Doug Jones’s victory suggests otherwise. Reality is starting to crash through from outside sources and will likely continue to do so — with or without Lady O.

Maybe others don’t think it’s a waste of money. Maybe they feel

its a way of dialogue and resolution. As if the government doesn’t waste money on

anything else. 

So since the government wastes money elsewhere all is fine?  Again I ask, what has ever come out of this petition site?

The question that will not go away, not as if there are not a shortage of other sites.

Here is what I found.  It seems as if we got lucky and got the White House beer recipe.

I’ve violated VJ TOS? 

Yeah several times.  Your first reply had elements of a personal attack and your follow-up misquoted me and put meaning into my words that were not there - all violations of TOS, but I don't mind and I'm not going to report you.  Just be careful.  I want to respond to your initial points when I have time, but if you keep up the TOS violations you might not be here to read it.

I was just asking questions. It wasn’t an attack.   I truly wonder if you or any other trump supporters ever consider any those points.   For sometime now I have been in search of these answers.  Never seem to get any, just more insults.   If your offended maybe it’s your conscience.
