For those who have grown a bit cynical, the idea of ethics in government might appear self-contradictory. In other words, we might be able to have one or the other, but not both — at least not at the same time. This thinking is partly a by-product of the very public ethical lapses committed by those in government positions.
As easy as it would be at this point to launch into a diatribe against the Clintons, who have taken corruption to new levels, they are really just one part of the problem. And it distracts us from the fact that there are government officials who do exhibit a high level of ethical behavior in their spheres of responsibility.
The problem is compounded by the need to review the behavior of government officials when potential ethics violations are discovered. What this implies is that we have the government monitoring the government. The potential problems with that are obvious.
As Mr. Trump prepares to arrive in the Oval Office we see how this system can go awry. More on page two.
It’s all for show folks. He’s a member of the Uniparty.
ETHICS : Something Obama never gave a$#%&!@*about. Funny how they bring it up now.
And we can add her vitriol charge for chaos and rioting at JFK airport that shut the airport down. How DARE a sitting senator stand with a bullhorn and scream her defiance to President Trump and cause such an incredible upheaval!!!! Trump has every right to issue those orders, and as her president and as a senator who is to represent ALL of her constituents, she made a total$#%&!@*of herself and demeaned her position and the presidency.
Liberals can’t deal with facts or truths
Fact. The Clintons left the Whitehouse flat broke, according to Hillary. Fact, a few years later, they are worth multi millions, without producing a single widget, a single bit of intellectual intelligence or any thing else of value to anyone. The only thing they had to sell was influence and the American taxpayers. Run that little inconvenient fact past your fact checkers Tommy.
Naw, I’m done with your lies Van. Again, I’m the ONLY one here who posted data from unbiased fact collecting sources. Run with THAT fact that’s so inconvenient for YOU Van.
You know, when publishers will pay you $10 million for a book advance, it doesn’t take much to get to the Clintons $30 million net worth. Can’t believe you’re all chirping about $30 million when Trump cheats people out of that much $ every week.
Years ago I read an article in Readers Digest about a bill that stated that any federal elected official who was sent to prison, would lose their pension. The bill was never passed because the congressmen and women said that it was their colleagues or it could be one of them who would lose their pensions. So they said no to the bill and the next time the bill never made it to the floor. This proves the fact that they don’t have ethics. If they had ethics, they wouldn’t be charged with bribery or other illegal activities they do to line their pockets with more money and screwing over the average American.
Tell him to move to CA, where the dems just legalized under age prostitution! Yes the reasoning behind this it is a victim, (the prostitute)! But go after the john or pimp! Your daughters safe here!!!! Something is wrong with this!
Government ethics is an oxymoron.
