My emotions go up and down all day long, depending on who is delivering the news and about what person.
First I am elated that Kushner is not allowed High Security Clearance. Then I hear it won't matter much because Trump will just override anything he doesn't feel like doing.
I hope his ignorance and blatantly flashing his itenerary over what is legal, finally gets him thrown out of office.
There is so much against him that the only thing that saves him is no one can keep up with all the daily offenses. UN BELIEVABLE.
"Trump's flyboys: Tom Price is gone but others still face trouble over private or military aircraft use" Only ONE of many sites talking about this scandal.
The doofus don is once again complimented greatly by this graphic Sharon. He wished he looked this good. He is getting fatter though while growing progressively smaller and smaller and smaller every day. I think having Hope Hicks tell the world that she told "white lies" for the prez and then having her bail on him the next day may do him in. She was gorgeous armcandy right by his side from even before the election. What's he gonna look at now? Saran Sanders? C'mon. Thank you for your reply. Hope Hicks is in a LOT of trouble. What with her conspiring with the doofus to write that memo about the meeting donjohnjr had with the Russians which was a complete lie? Mueller is not done with her by a longshot. Meanwhile the doofus attacks Sessions and Sessions ignores the attack specifically but asserts his mission as Attorney general to uphold the law. Take that you pitiful fata** prez! SMACK! Thank you for your reply Sharon.
With Trump administration cronies like EPA chief Scott Pruitt and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke hogging most of the corruption scandals these days, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson has generally stayed out of the limelight. This may change.
A senior career official in the US Department of Housing and Urban Development has alleged that she was demoted and replaced with a Donald Trump appointee after refusing to break the law by funding an expensive redecoration of Ben Carson’s office.
Helen Foster said she was told “$5,000 will not even buy a decent chair” after informing her bosses this was the legal price limit for improvements to the HUD secretary’s suite at the department’s Washington headquarters.
It certainly seems that Trump appointee scandals have a particular flavor to them. Each appointee arrived with the instructions to trim their department to the bone, based on the notion that federal offices are wasteful money pits full of longtime government workers who have no regard for the put-upon taxpayers. So the appointees respond by curtailing federal travel in their department (while booking private jets for themselves) or by trimming entire working groups (while refurbishing their offices with, say, a soundproof booth for talkin' about secrets).
And when a member of Trump's team discovers that actually, federal workers have to make do with skimpy budgets and work within the confines of a whole set of rules engineered to protect taxpayers from would-be grifters, they get very mad and start dispensing retribution.
Retaliation for what we shall call the Great Chair Fiasco isn't Foster's only complaint; she also alleges a Trump appointee sought to fire a HUD worker for being "critical" of Trump, and that she was retaliated against after discovering a $10.8 million shortfall in the 2016 budget. So it sounds like our brief respite from talking about Ben Carson's department and its scandals will soon be over.
Is it possible that every single Trump appointee is this prone to grifting and corruption strictly by accident? It half feels like they are all trying to team up on us in the hopes that we will be so overwhelmed with various scandals, one after the other after the next, that we won't notice until long after they've left that they've made off with all the federal staplers or something.
Where the HELL did you (of ALL people) ever dream up that idea? He was never any brilliant surgeon. He was respected, yes. BUT? FIRST AND FOREMOST: He was a shameless self-promoting moron who was only in it for the cashola. He also bragged out of hand about his great prowess as a surgeon anytime he had a chance for a photo-op. Just like Trump. Two peas in a pod. But at least Carson knows about brain surgery. He is just not some genius awesome guy.
I don't like Ben. In or out of office. Now he has shown his truest of colors. PIMP.
Ben Carson had a pretty remarkable track record for a job that involved slicing people’s heads open.
In his three-decade-long career as a neurosurgeon, Carson, the newly minted leader of the ever-fickle Republican polls, faced a total of eight malpractice claims in the state of Maryland, according to the Maryland Health Care Alternative Dispute Resolution Office.
The HCADRO provided The Daily Beast with the documented claims and verified that these were the only in-state claims they had on file. Their records do not cover any out-of-state claims.
The legitimacy of the claims is something that is determined in court. And while on the surface, the alleged injuries might seem egregious, neurosurgery is admittedly a highly risky practice.
A 2011 study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that 19 percent of neurosurgeons deal with some kind of malpractice claim every year, compared to an average of 5 percent of doctors in family medicine and 3 percent of pediatricians.
“This is neurosurgery; it’s a very complicated and risky area,” personal injury attorney Susan Karten told The Daily Beast. She represents plaintiffs in these types of cases, including the first health-care worker to be diagnosed with HIV/AIDs in the United States. After reviewing the malpractice claims against Carson, Karten said only one really surprised her.
In 1996, Maryland resident Mary Perna sued Carson and Johns Hopkins University on behalf of herself and her husband, Steven. According to the claim, Perna was suffering from multiple sclerosis and by October of 1994, she had facial pain on the left side of her face and vision problems that “were virtually unchecked,” despite the prescription medication that she was taking.

Thanks Sharon. Yep. I heard that yesterday. Doesn't matter what color they are they are all there to enrich themselves at the "we the people" trough. Pigs all of them. Then ya got that ridiculous Education head Betsy de Voss the billionaire who never attended public school and wants to voucher kids into private schools!. I cannot think of one "head" of anything that isn't doing grievous harm to the department he/she "heads". Not one. The Steve Bannon goal of deconstructing the government is in good hands with doofus don. He is doing that every day in every way to resounding cheers of his base! They are truly a base base.
While I love your take on all things political, I don't think Trump is fit to shine any prior president's shoes. He is more like the stuff you scrape off the bottom of a shoe.
I know of NO other president that conspired against the COUNTRY to make more money and secure his position of power. WHO DOES THIS? He should be waterboarded in front of the Nation after being forced to take a lie detector test admitting everything he has done.
I mean he is a disgrace to HITLER. Even Hitler didn't betray Germany to Russia for GOD SAKES.
The corruption is extensive Sbf. Mueller is very thorough. Very intelligent. Very meticulous. Very methodical. When he lays down his hand I bet it will be a ROYAL FLUSH! Natural. No wild cards. It's coming soon to a the3ater near you. Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday! :)

The corruption in the Harding administration was also extensive. No FBI investigation was required, it blew up in Coolidge's face (Harding suffered a fatal heart attack a few months previously, so Coolidge as VP inherited the mess).
