Not currently finding any of your older stuff, but I recall a discussion you and I had after the 2016 election, Congress back in session, but inauguration hadn't happened yet, and the first order of Congressional business was the gutting of ethics oversight. On 1/18/2017 at 6:25 AM, 15yds4gibberish said: ... Under the republican party of last week, all we've seen is at least three attempts to gut ethics oversight. It's up to the Republicans now - Are they, and the people who support them, really the party of ethics? 😷😷😷 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banana Republic stuff. "I'll be the oversight. I'll be the oversight." Sad but true. DJT's predecessors did much to erode our checks and balances. But his administration has done so on steroids. If we the people don't put a halt to this, we will be living in a Banana Republic or S'hole in the not too distant future. I know all great nations eventually lose their place in history. But to go the way of Rome would be tragic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That turd concha claims that Flynn should've gotten off because a guy who wasn't indicted or charged with a crime didn't go to jail. With that kind of standard then it makes sense that his hero would fire everybody who might provide any oversight. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
