... the ABC board’s taking a hard look at the complainants’ argument that Donald Trump, the “true and actual owner” of the Trump Old Post Office LLC trading as the Trump International Hotel, is not a person of “good character” as required by law.The complaint, filed on behalf of seven D.C. residents by attorney Joshua A. Levy, contends that if good character involves an evaluation of someone’s moral and ethical qualities, including the virtues of honesty, integrity and how a person treats others, especially the less fortunate, then Trump flunks the test because of his behavior “both before and during his presidency.”
Their complaint says the president has “repeatedly been deceitful,” specifically citing statements involving his net worth, conflicts of interest and payments made to pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels. It says he “lacks integrity,” citing lawsuits claiming that Trump University defrauded students; alleging that his companies refused to pay business contractors, “forcing them to go to court to spend money in order to get paid”; noting that at least 16 women have said he sexually assaulted them; and that he has “engaged in racism.”
The Trump Organization sought to have the complaint dismissed, but the District of Columbia Alcoholic Beverage Control board denied the request.
The board allowed the group contesting the license to protest on the grounds of character, as the law requires the owner to be “of good character and generally fit for the responsibilities of the licensure.”

Alcohol Beverage Control board rules against Trump — he may lose his liquor license for Trump DC Hotel – Raw Story
the donald's character - or lack of it - is causing the ABC Commission to give consideration to the effort to rescind the liquor permit for tRump's DC hotel
had he divested - as he promised before being sworn in - his morals and character would not now be able to be used against him in this unique effort
If the vague standard of having a "good character" is a qualification of having a liquor license, it is my opinion that any person who propose to make a business out of selling large quantities of alcohol to the public (and all the harm that this entails) automatically lacks the good character to have a liquor license, and should be refused the license. So Donald Trump would fail on that count alone, without even touching on his myriad personal peccadilloes. But if "good character" is an objective standard, perhaps referring to lack of felony convictions or the like, this appears to be so much griefing and nipping at Trump's heels.

The non-stop TDS crap really is tiresome. If the board even hears this instead of summarily dismissing it, this would represent a totally corrupt and politicized board. Unfortunately, many regulatory boards consist of corrupt, political hacks and why so many people truly despise regulatory agencies.
The argument that tRump is without sound character is one which could prevail
So you agree that Elizabeth Warren should lose her law license for lying on her bar application that she is Native American, right?
I do understand that the Corporate Fascist Democratic Party demands that the criminal justice system and all agencies should operate the same as the KGB against anyone opposed to police state corporate fascism.

Liz never misrepresented herself on her Bar application
you need better, factual, material
No one cares if Elizabeth Warren is or isn't Native American. Please try a different, legitimate form of criticism.

Yes she did. She claimed she is Native American, just like she did to Harvard. As a lawyer, she knew in fact that even if her own claim of NA ancestry was accurate, it did not qualify her as NA under law.

please cite the Native American law that you believe Liz Warren ignored when completing her Bar app

What's illegitimate about criticizing a candidate that lies?
