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.
Of course he would and pretend to.do the same against Democrats as he has done for the last eight years or whatever.
Sorry Jesse. You can’t run the country like a business. Different rules, different laws. Trump can’t file bankruptcy on the govt, nor can he threaten other nations the way he has. His big mouth is causing us to be LESS safe. As are his actions.
Kick him out
Get rid of these Obama holdovers. They’re all corrupt or useless.
Suddenly concerned about ethics? Where were you the last 8 yrs?
That’s exactly why they’re fighting Pres. Trump so hard!
Don’t agree with him making an issue over Kelly Ann’s statement. Go after the real unethical behavior. Heard he got booed in his hometown yesterday. Finish what u started.
You couldn’t nab Clinton so now you have go for tidbit b******t
OMG! If this is the worst they have to gripe about they need to get a grip! It’s not like it was intentional or an infomercial.
People need to stop being so petty and attacking Ivanka’s brands and The Trump Admin people wouldn’t even need to be talking about this stuff!
Stick to what’s important like how are they helping the country!
These Dems / Libs act like SATAN HIMSELF is President, meanwhile EVERY action taken since he assumed office has been to protect AMERICANS and help them thrive. Petty ingrates to say the least!
And people wonder how in the hell Trump won …
