One of the biggest problems American voters have with politicians is that they seem to agree to one set of rules to which ordinary Americans must adhere and a completely different set for themselves. Americans have seen this time and time (and time) again, and it is one of the reasons that candidates such as Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders garner such enthusiastic support. It is also the reason that Hillary Clinton finds herself in hot water with the FBI right now.
Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton are exhibits A-Z on political hypocrisy. Even though Hillary Clinton mandated that everyone in her State Department use a @state.gov email address for official business, she did not. While the Clintons are the prime example of hypocrisy, they are far from the only one. Members of Congress who supported the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) quietly granted themselves and their staff waivers from the government-run exchanges.
Now, the California State Senate has voted overwhelmingly to exempt itself from harsh gun laws that it chose to impose upon its own constituents.

Wtf
Seems like they are
The law applies to everyone……including illegals and politicians.
POS
WE REALLY NEED YOU DONALD TRUMP !
We need to clean house and we know it. We also need to implement some serious changes:
1) As the article suggests, politicians at all levels are held to the same laws citizens are.
2) Salaries are cut by 2/3. Let’s find out who the real “servants” are.
3) During their time in office, any and all revenues gained in any way related to their office or the notoriety as in that office goes to the government they work for. No extra income whatsoever. Obviously, anyone who violates this will have to falsify their tax returns.
4) For a ten year period after, any and all fees they might be offered once again related to their prior service goes to the government they were serving. No “$200,000 speaking fees” to line their pockets.
5) Term limits. Severely term limits. No more “career politicians” who never worked a day in their lives, but made themselves rich and powerful simply by telling the rest of us what is good for us.
If you have any ideas, add them. For the time being, we need to clear the White House, clear Congress, clear the appointed, clear state and local governments, and start over, with the people deciding, not a political appointee, if someone caught violating the laws governing their time in office will be prosecuted.
Not so fast assholes
All laws apply to all AMERICANS, are you giveing up your citizen ship? And if so you need to be deported.
