Exactly, that's why posting the junk that baja and the dailykos come up with is just that - crap. Prove that the Trump family is profiting from the glasses, and using government facilities to help market, and THEN there is a story. Otherwise, go shovel crap someplace else. |
Techno--I didn't agree or disagree with the posting. It depends on whether there is a conflict of interest--who is making money from the trinkets.
On the other hand, Trump's appointment of is son-in-law as a senior advisor, his refusal (and perhaps, given his debt levels, his inability) to dispose of foreign investments, and his appointment and the Senate's rush to confirm appointees with financial interests in government businesses, are all contrary to the emoluments clause and ethics standards. But what else would I expect from a President elect who is a pathological liar, a sexual harasser, and a business cheat? |

| Watched a couple of hours of the Tillerson confirmation hearings today. He is very impressive. Senators with decades of experience were no match his two or three weeks of briefings. He is a great choice. Rubio looked like a sulky child. |

you would think he would know what war crimes are that are committed by Russia. How stupid he is.

It was clear he did not understand what these crimes were and what the world should do about them. He is clueless to what should be done and he wants to have the position. He should be fired....
Before his job was easy, you just try to make as much money as possible and not care about human lives. Now he is responsible for people lives.

You just don't get it. The Secretary of State will have to deal with Putin down the road. So far, he has had a good working relationship, so acknowledging publically the Putin is guilty of war crimes would be a really dumb move at this time.
I think Rubio was pretty stupid to ask the question. |

nope Putin can never be trusted as he showed when Bush saw into his eyes.
Putin the worlds richest person has too much to lose allowing any co-operation. Again anyone in his country that crosses him is disappeared, specially the media. Same thing trump wants. daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
