ā€œHe should have never been there in the first place.ā€ The Same could be said about the occupant himself, and a host of other Putin cronies. #neverendingshitshow.

How do you survive a scandal about conflicts of interest, in the Drummpf ā€˜Administrationā€™? Pretty simple - just ignore it, lie about it, play ā€˜whataboutismā€™ and have your Fox toadies muddy the water incessantly, right up until the time you lose the favour of the Liar-in-Chief. Then you leave office, shamelessly lie about your achievements, then have friends toss you directorships until the money makes your soul stop hurting.

The entire administration should never have been there in the first place.

When youā€™ve lost Chris Christie ā€¦

ā€¦ whose nose, cheeks and nasal passages were, until recently, firmly embedded in Trumpā€™s posterior region ā€¦ then you have really lost something.

I guess.

That Pruitt was completely unfit for the job should have been evident to the senate as well. Pruitt was confirmed 52 -46 on almost entirely partisan lines.(McCain and Donnelly didnā€™t vote and Heitkamp and Manchin voted yes

Also what a weird world when I am agreeing with Chris Christie about patronage appointments and ethics in government

This is a shot across the bow at Pence. Iā€™m guessing Christie wasnā€™t amused by Marlon Bundo?

ā€œWe donā€™t need no stinking vettingā€ probably said by everyone in Trumpā€™s close circle all of whom wouldnā€™t pass vetting themselves.

because they represent coaling mining states. But in the passel of Ds who voted no was Collins whom everyone loves to hate. She did the right thing that time.

Stupid? Nah, he just has a different but similarly strenghthed self-promotional gene. Turned the discussion into what a good job would have been done had he been able to complete it - and how awful and amateurish the Pence transition work was. I hear wishful thinking about 2020 or 2024 from Christieā€™s Comments. Ridiculous- but ā€¦ we now live in ridiculous.

Chris, if youā€™re not in jail then thereā€™s such a thing as a survivable scandal that didnā€™t look like one until it was, thatā€™s for damn sure.

Feel free. Donā€™t worry about it being Easter. The moneylenders incident was part of the whole story.
