Ethics are for chumps and Democrats, apparently. Maybe he’ll just make lobbyists obsolete.

Oh my.

This war is going to get good. Something tells me the ethics guys are not going to go quietly into the night.

Sorry for the reposting, Patagonia is one of those good choices. I did this below last night in the Bean thread… just ICYMI. I saw another poster recommending Lands End.


For all of you former L.L.Bean customers or Nevercustomers, this is one of your great alternatives…

And of course you love this story…

Bean’s: either you folks publicly repudiate the Trump* endorsement, or you’ll never see my money again.

Well, REI and EMS come to mind. Even better, find a local independent store.

I has been my experience the crunchy granola, outdoorsy types buy L L bean. I can’t imagine a lot of them being Trump supporters. I think he probably did a lot of damage to the brand by shooting off his big mouth.

Wonder who–type type of person–Trump will choose to bestow some of the nation’s highest honors? There is no fucking way I’d accept an award from this ass. I would consider it an insult to my work and me personally.

Lobbyists are just middlemen who skim off a lot of the money that could be going directly to the elected officials.

The guys at Office of Government Ethics better shut up, or they will find themselves in Guantanamo or maybe even Siberia if Benedict Donald decides to outsource the political prisoner business to his buddy Vladimir.

Walter Shaub should ask for a Congressional hearing. He has a chance to be this generation’s Joseph Welch, and we really need that right now.

I just can’t believe that the Ethics Office would leak out more info from the instruction manual — SAD —
