The fellow stormed into the postmaster’s office in a fury. “I’ve been getting threatening letters in the mail for months and I want them stopped.”
“Of course,” said the postmaster. “Sending threatening letters through the mail is a federal offense. Do you know who’s sending them?” “Yes,” shouted the man. “It’s those idiots down at the Internal Revenue Service.”

Comments Off on Trump To Institute A FIVE YEAR Lobbying Ban On Members Of His Administration
Nov 172016
Donald Trump is requiring anyone joining his administration to sign a form preventing him/her from being a lobbyist for FIVE YEARS after leaving!
This is the first shot in the war on Washington corruption. Wouldn’t you love to have a camera when Trump’s “Landing Teams” go to the various federal agencies, most importantly, the IRS, to clear out the cockroaches?
Donald Trump’s staff has announced a tough new anti-lobbying for all members of his transition team and all other officials who work for the President-elect.
People who work with Trump must sever all their ties to the lobbying industry, and they are not allowed to lobby on behalf of anyone for five years after they leave the Donald’s side.
The ban also applies to the transition team members charged with helping to find, vet and hire for the incoming Republican administration, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said late Wednesday in New York.
Additionally, neither the transition advisers nor incoming officials are permitted to be registered federal or state lobbyists, Spicer said. He described the measures as helping to ensure people won’t be able to use government service ‘to enrich themselves.’
The Trump team did not explain how the ban would be enforced.
Trump also wants to ‘expand the definition of lobbyist so we close all the loopholes that former government officials use by labeling themselves consultants and advisers when we all know they are lobbyists.’
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Career Corrupt Politician) did not answer questions about the lobbying ban on Wednesday.
When he was asked by reporters, McConnell instead said he hopes legislators ‘address the real concerns of the American people’ rather than fixate on every utterance during the presidential contest.
However, the plan has been met with some criticism, with experts saying it will seriously impact Trump’s ability to get a capable team in place.
‘This will have a chilling effect on his hiring, no doubt,’ Paul Miller, who leads the National Institute for Lobbying and Ethics, said.
‘Most people who agree to government service want to go back into the private sector. We don’t want career politicians, and that’s what he could end up with.’
It is unclear how many of the thousands of people Trump is about to hire would be subject to his ban.
His proposal allegedly covers, ‘all executive-branch officials,’ but in practice he may be referring only to Cabinet members and high-level White House officials.
If he pulls this off he could seriously be the greatest president this country has ever had!

A father walks into the market followed by his ten-year-old son. The kid is spinning a 25-cent piece in the air and catching it between his teeth. As they walk through the market someone bumps into the boy at just the wrong moment and the coin goes straight into his mouth and lodges in his throat.
He immediately starts choking and going blue in the face and Dad starts panicking, shouting and screaming for help. A middle-aged, fairly unremarkable man in a gray suit is sitting at a coffee bar in the market reading his newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion he looks up, puts his coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folds his newspaper and places it on the counter. He gets up from his seat and makes his unhurried way across the market. Reaching the boy (who is still standing, but only just) the man takes hold of the kid and squeezes gently but firmly. After a few seconds the boy coughs up the quarter, which the man catches in his free hand. The man then walks back to his seat in the coffee bar without saying a word. As soon as he is sure that his son was fine, the father rushes over to the man and starts effusively thanking him. The man looks embarrassed and brushes off the thanks. As he’s about to leave, the father asks one last question. “I’ve never seen anybody do anything like that before – it was fantastic – what are you, a surgeon or something like that?” “No” the man replies, “I work for the IRS, getting people to cough it up is my business.”
