We laugh in the fact of your ethic rules. |
President Donald Trump has exempted his entire senior staff from provisions of his own ethics rules to allow them to work with political and advocacy groups that support the administration.
Staffers given a pass on those rules include White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, who has the green light to communicate and meet with “political, advocacy, trade, or non-profit organizations” that formerly employed her consulting firm, despite ethics rules that would otherwise bar work with former clients.
Chief White House strategist Steve Bannon also received a waiver to the rules as part of a blanket exemption for all White House appointees allowing them to communicate with the press. His reported discussions with former colleagues at the pro-Trump site Breitbart News, which Bannon chaired until last year, had raised red flags among ethics watchdogs.
Bannon and Conway will both be free to work with a network of political groups backed by the wealthy Mercer family, which was integral to Trump’s victory last year and continues to support his agenda as president.
And that folks is how you advertise your contempt for the rules so that all the world can see that you are above such petty restrictions on your power.
What is it that they say?
"Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely?"
Well what happens when the already absolutely corrupted get absolute power?
I think we are about to find out.
Exempt!
ReplyDeleteThat aint all folks, I'm pardoning all those bitches including myself
This ^
DeleteTrump admits by doing this that he has a corrupt group around him - that HE appointed! Fuck all of them!
ReplyDeleteFuck me? Fuck you!
DeleteAnd, fuck you too 2:12 PM! Trump is more than a fucking disaster!!!

Don't know which way Paris will go, but I've done all I can to advise directly to POTUS, through others in WH & via councils, that we remain

Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world.

If Elon Musk were so goddamned concerned for the planet, he wouldn't have fathered six children.
DeleteWho are you to tell someone how many kids they should have? A Republican?
DeleteOh so Sarah isn't locked in a box in Mexico. I'm shocked. Just shocked. Snark. Fart. @

I suppose you morans haven't heard of overpopulation. It's a thing that will worsen the effects of global warming.
DeleteTrump, Bannon, Priebus and that whole gang are just a bunch of cork soakers (SNL reference).
ReplyDeleteAnd, fucking assholes!
DeleteI think he did this just to spite the Ethics Committee that *dared to* ask him for his waivers! Before the request, there were 'only' a handful who had gotten that waiver.
ReplyDeleteOT? “Tonight, I wish to tell the United States, France believes in you. The world believes in you. I know you are a great nation. I know your history, our common history.”
ReplyDelete"“I call on you to remain confident we will succeed because we are fully committed, because wherever we live, whoever we are, we all share the same responsibility. Make our planet great again.”"

There is not an ethical bone in any person who is part of the Trump administration or, for that matter, in the 21st Republican Party.

Even tho I wouldn't vote for that corpulent lying sack of shit if I had a gun pointed at my head (...a distinct possibility in future elections...), I want to apologize to the entire world and to generations yet unborn for the damage being cruelly done in our name by him and his evil minions.
ReplyDeleteEven worse: the worst is yet to come.
I'd like to see the gun pointed elsewhere! Get my drift?
DeleteScrew that 544. Call Animal Control. No officer. He's not dead. Trumpster is napping.
DeleteOld Nazi trick. Do outrageous things so the shock normalizes people eventually.
ReplyDeleteLet Russia use the Dachas again.
Fuck up the Paris Accord.
Next will be trying to block Comey's testimony. Won't work. Trump already talked about it in public.
Knock yourself out tRump...we're ready to rumble!
THIS. Thanks, lauren!
DeleteWhere is Rachel Maddow - MSNBC - #1 Rated and they have not been running her show of late. She had complained of a cold, but did one show when she wasn't feeling well and hasn't been available since. I think something is fishy!
ReplyDeleteDid Trump, et al get rid of her? More blonds are starting new shows on MSNBC! And people are disappearing from the airwaves since Trump became our lowly leader.
Anyone know? I'm sorry I'm off subject!
Hope she wasn't poisoned and I'm totally serious.
DeleteSince when does little donnie have his own ethics rules? Is this is locality pledge.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe the president can exempt anyone from the federal ethics rules.
