Of course she doesn’t bother to mention all the other violations of ethics standards and the Emoluments Clause that Trump & Co. have repeatedly broken. Party over country, again Marsha.

Gotta love that passive construction.

Just kidding, no you don’t. It’s fucking gross. Worse when it comes from the party of personal responsibility.

I didn’t think the loopy dingbat was capable of criticizing Trump

Having watched CNN this morning, I noted, unlike the image with this post, Marsha’s finally learned never to raise her aged, reptilian hands up near her high-dollar facework while on camera.

LET. ME. REITERATE. If you’re not going to take substantive steps to punish abuse of office and prevent it from happening again, don’t bother with the “ain’t it a shame” line.

So much of what has has happened since November 8, 2016, and again on January 20, shouldn’t have happened. But kleptocracy performs best in the shadows.

@mantan Thank dawg you’re on our side (or maybe you’re not) or we’d get to hear about Dem women’s physical flaws as relates to their ability to govern and form coherent sentences…

First Joni Ernst and now Marsha Blackburn? When the bomb throwing, arsonists become the voices of reason you know the Republican ship has not only lost its rudder but is losing a mast.

Which brings up a point I have not seen explored in depth: Who’s running the ship?

The administration of #45 is demonstrably inept and most agencies do not have a second in command, never mind that the one in command is (usually) unqualified if not outright antagonistic to the agency’s mission.

So other than inertia, how is the work of government being done? Are underlings taking responsibility above their station, risking career for the team? Bureaucracies have a way of maintaining despite loss of leadership – Imperial Rome’s did for a very long time in the midst of a fractious and increasingly powerless Senate under incompetent and not infrequently mad emperors – but what about the good old US of A? Not everything is automated, so how is business being conducted and, more to the point, how will a course change be managed?

Are you suggesting Republicans have an “ability to govern and form coherent sentences”? :wink:
I do believe I’m sexually balanced in the physical characteristic zinger department as my pioneering work slapping Keebler elf metaphors all over the malformed Jefferson B. Sessions suggests…

I don’t understand. The whole reason for this enterprise (Trump’s run) was to sell his brand. Put the big-assed T on everything valuable. That millions of American bought it will be story that the history books will have a hard time explaining.

But thank goodness that lady with the emails wasn’t elected.

Soon we’ll get to watch the new State Dept. spokesbunny defend nonsense like this (while she fends off the groper-in-chief).

If State starts showing cleavage then I really feel Spicy has to get with the program…

Ok, Blackburn. I’ll believe you when you call for your colleagues to launch an investigation of this matter. There are many other ethics concerns, too, but we have to start somewhere. Speak up, we can’t hear you!

So at what point does trump’s abysmal record as president make people avoid the properties he touts?

Nonsense. The President can’t have a conflict of interest. He said so himself while discussing with his business managers what he can best do to grow Trump org bottom lines.

“It shouldn’t have happened."

The ultimate epithet for the Trump presidency.

Nor is it too far removed from “It Can’t Happen Here.”

Back on the Japanese version of Iron Chef, one of the judges sometimes said of a dish, “This should not have been served.”

Every day.
