10. I couldn't accept any gift over $15 while in the AF

My job involved buying medical supplies and equipment and because I had authorization to commit AF funds I was required to adhere to regulations concerning gifts from vendors, companies, and individuals. The regulation state we could accept nothing over $15 and about the only thing I/we received was promotional material like pens and notepads. I once had a sales rep who wanted to take me out to lunch and when I told her "Okay, but I have to pay for my lunch" she revoked the offer. Part of the regulation included a provision the what we accepted or did should not give the appearance of impropriety.

Our idiot president's acceptance of a plane violates both the Constitution as well a federal law and give the appearance of impropriety.
