    I'm more concerned that Trump is trying to change the tax code in order to save his family potentially Billions, particularly by eliminating the estate tax.

    The whole website? No. Does he have control over the information he submits for use on his page of it? Yes. Does he have control of the other .gov website greatagain.gov? Yes.

    .—Section 3(a)(10) of the Presidential
    Transition Act of 1963 (3 U.S.C. 102 note) is amended to read
    as follows:
    ‘‘(10) Notwithstanding subsection (b), consultation by the
    Administrator with any President-elect, Vice-President-elect,
    or eligible candidate (as defined in subsection (h)(4)) to develop
    a systems architecture plan for the computer and communica-
    tions systems of the candidate to coordinate a transition to
    Federal systems if the candidate is elected    .’’.

    You can stop responding now..... Whatever rules around content review apply to a federal system will apply to the transition website.

    Yes, absolutely. It doesn't negate anything I said in regards to the website.

    So you think Federal Systems have no content review process for communication systems before it's posted online? Trump's IT folks will have to work with the Federal Government employees. They are not a freestanding organization posting on a government website. This is one of the first step of being integrated in to the Federal Government.

    What you posted isn't really the issue.

    If you want to post a thread about how bad Obama's staff is at proofreading, then we can discuss that. The issue is that Trump's people were (until corrected by the Trump people) attempting to use a .gov taxpayer funded website to peddle their snake oil. Of course that is the same type thing for which folks such as yourself have been criticizing Hillary. The fact that it may have gotten by some Obama proofreaders doesn't change the fact that Trump (or his people) tried to misuse the government website. That is the issue for someone who isn't even in office yet.

    I don't think Obama's staff had a problem with it. No one looking for a room at the Trump Hotel or any of his other ventures are going to use that transition website with his biography on it to influence a purchasing or business decision. Donald Trump has been a household name for decades. We're not even sure who put the info on the website. It could have been federal government employees that did it.

    That was Trump bragging on Trump, which I can agree is tiresome.
