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.
I like it! Now get rid of Graham and McCain. They are the biggest back stabbers in the party.
B******t. You better not go there. It will be the end of your career. Those idiots at home are a small group that are flat out wrong. Don’t listen to them. We the people work for a living. We don’t have time to walk the streets and protest every time the idiots think they have a cause. The majority has to work not walk the streets. Shut it down. You won’t like me the results. Stand by Trump or you’re done.
That’s funny.
This is old and has been on here Several times.
GO GET ‘UM!!!!!
deport the p***k
Tom Melendy I bet u listen to snopes to don’t u
And the same day Kelly Ann Conway violated the ethics law, imagine that! LMFAO
Randal Sloter, I bet your primary news source is Fox news isn’t it?
And to answer your question, no, I don’t listen to it, and I’ve looked at their site maybe twice when people posted something directly to me. So you’re basically wrong. As it happens I know something about conflict of issue concerns, am subject to multiple yearly COI filings, and I once served on a committee tasked with developing COI rules for affiliated MDs. What Trump is being allowed to do now is abusrd, and his COIs are financially enticing him to act in ways directly opposed to the best interests of this country. NO company, corporation, or public agency would ever allow an employee or officer to operate with such extreme COIs in place.
