But Trump is looking out for us, the little people.
He cares.
among them five former administration officials whose work potentially violates Trump’s own ethics policy, according to a report.
Wait. Trump has an ethics policy that isn’t “have at it, fellas”?

Allow me to take this provocative position:
Laundromats properly should be classified as essential services and allowed to stay open as much as possible.

Yeah, I was just wondering when the looting, squandering and general misuse of the allocated monies would come out.
It was never a matter of ‘if.’

With proper safety precautions. And it shouldn’t take an expensive trump-connected lobbyist to make that point. In a lot of third-world countries you have to pay graft just to get your case heard.

I went to college with Brian Ballard… I covered him when he was part of Student Government at the University of Florida. He was a scumbag back then, and it looks like nothing has changed…

I wish that we could have any confidence that there will be any outcome from this revelation beyond bad publicity for a few folks who are evidently incapable of being embarrassed (much less being prosecuted).
In the event that Biden is elected, I do wonder how long it will take to reconstitute the DOJ to the point where it is functional enough to go after the more criminal and blatant of the Trump hangers-on. It looks as if the only real governing ability that Trump has consists of corrupting institutions.

Does this include the $500 billion for which Mnuchin refuses to account?
Trump failed the American people with his cut and run response, but his corporate swamp scum buddies all made out like bandits.

People are just willing to endure a little shame for 100’s of millions or billions of dollars. This was inevitable the second that TRump said he would oversee disbursement. It is called patronage.

Forty lobbyists with ties to President Donald Trump helped clients secure more than $10 billion in federal coronavirus aid, among them five former administration officials whose work potentially violates Trump’s own ethics policy
The written one, maybe. Certainly not the one he practices openly.

This administration is beyond disgusting. But need I remind everyone, the House passed this bullshit by unanimous consent.
Trump has an “ethics policy”? News to me…

We knew this would happen and that’s why they got rid of the original oversight inspector general. The only question was when we’d find out to whom and how much.
ethics noun A set of principles dealing with what is good and what is bad.
Nothing in that definition says that one’s ethics must be good. So, yes, Trump has an ethics policy: steal everything you can and don’t get caught.
I found a copy of it!!! I reproduce its content below:
“Whatever.”

“Trump’s own ethics policy,”
is this not an oxymoron?
