Betsy Devos: Sorry, but we no longer use any textbooks in this country.
Any randomly chosen American is individually more likely to be prosecuted for voting, than for what KC for flagrantly and purposely did on national TV.
“This was a textbook case of a violation of the law,” Cummings told George Stephanopoulos.
It also sucked by the standards of commercial advertising.
Let’s face it. Nothing is going to happen here.
Conway knows the only person she has to please is Trump himself, an ethically challenged grifter of the highest order. There’s zero chance he has a problem with this. Ultimately, nor will the effectively neutered Republican congress.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), the chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, on Thursday asked the the Office of Government Ethics to recommend possible disciplinary action.
Wasn’t lil’ Jay-jay one the same guys who wanted abolish the OGE?
Why, yes. Yes he was.
Cummings said that he thought Conway’s promotion was “intentional” and “very blatant.”
Of course it was. Why shouldn’t she think she can commit ethics violations with knowing abandon when her boss is an ethics violation man walking?
The illegal part now is to urge people not to buy Trump brand products.
Law and order has become, “Order. It’s the law. And for a limited time, order two at three times the cost. Make America great.”
Don’t work, Congressweasel Chaffetz will “oversight” KAC’s itty-bitty ethics oversight.
Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. Now back to BENGHAZI!
President Ron Popeil and the Invank-A-Matic.
”She slices, she dices, she even makes julienne fries or shreds mounds and mounds of creamy coleslaw!”
Ron Popeil was a marketing genius. He could probably even sell a line of Spicer footwear.
Yes and it’s good to see, Dems taking full advantage of opportunities like this and Schumer and Sanders calling for ACA rallies. 'Pubs are fumbling everything right now. Hold the ground, stay on offense - or wait around to be kicked in the teeth down the road.
Glad someone in this administration knows what a “textbook” is. Oh wait… this someone is not of this administration. Strike that.
Dems–please start using the words “corrupt” and “corruption”. Everybody understands those words.
Now this is good legalized gambling…
Trump impeached? You can bet on it
The prospect that the president won’t make it through his term is big business for bookmakers.
“The problem here, George, is that the person who will mete out the punishment, if you will, will be the president,” he added. “And it seems as if this may not be a big deal to him.”
That’s an understatement!
The man that could mete out the punishment already says he hires “only the best”. You don’t expect him to admit he made a mistake or was in error now, do you? He’s incapable of that. The GOP won’t take responsibility for oversight and be a check on this crap either… Soooo…that’s where we’re at. Total incompetence on full fucking display…and GOP enablers not willing to do their g-ddamn jobs.
“The problem here, George, is that the person who will mete out the punishment, if you will, will be the president,” he added. “And it seems as if this may not be a big deal to him.”
In other words, the President is flagrantly ignoring and allowing if not encouraging his staff to break the law.
We know Cummings will do his job, but will Chaffetz? Doubtful.
How long before the president* puts his hand-picked puppet in charge of this office? All signs point to “soon”…[Update] Should have read my own link more closely: “The Director of OGE serves a five-year term, thereby overlapping presidential terms, and is subject to no term limit.”
“This was a textbook case of a violation of the law,” Cummings told George Stephanopoulos
I’m shocked to see a textbook violation from Kellyanne Conway. I’d expect textbook violations to come instead from Betsy DeVos.
Which is why they wanted to do away with the whole megillah in the first place…because they couldn’t neuter just the guy in charge. They don’t call it Totalitarianism for nuthin.
