If the best defense you have, is that it's relatively speaking, not much money? That is not a defense at all. If it's not much money, all the more reason that she should have sold her stock in Vulcan, prior to accepting a cabinet position, where she would have influence over what government contracts that Vulcan was able to secure. There is no defense for this... especially so, in not disclosing her stock holding during her Senate confirmation hearing. Her husband, the Senate Majority Leader, does not come away from this looking like he cares about ethics either.

How many of the 100 Senators care about ethics in your opinion?

Whatever happened to panty raids?
Click to expand...
I went to a couple when I was at U.T. About 1970, we got word of a raid in the Presidential Complex. I lived in Andy Holt Apts. at the time, across from the Aquatic Center.
My roommates and I fanned out and took off on a dead run to Carrick. While I was running full bore up the hill going from A Holt Apts to Morrill, one of the guys yelled WIRE. What that meant was that we were running full blast into a cable that kept people off the grass. This was strung between short poles and about 18 inches off the ground. I barely saw it and tried to jump over it. Remember, it was dark, and it was a less than knee high wire, and we were running full blast. I proceeded to jump the wire. Unfortunately, I caught the wire with the top of my right foot on the way up, and went down hard and landed on the side of my face with arms outstretched onto a concrete walk. I am sure it looked like my feet had been lassoed. Anyhow, I dusted myself off and continued because I was on a mission to get panties.


Now, we have reached Carrick. Back then , the girls lived on the wing nearest Humes and the guys in the wing nearest Reese. Okay, a few pair were flying out the windows when we arrived, and floating down like little white parachutes. I had not been able to get to any because there was a lot of competition to catch them. A bunch of guys were out there, and no panties came close enough for me to strike and get my prize. Now, I see a pair floating down from way up there, maybe 12th floor. I set my sights on it, having been maybe the first to see it leave the window. I see the wind gently pushing said panties to my right, and over towards the side of the building, closest to Reese.

I start running, and timed my jump just right to snatch (that's right....snatch) my trophy away from a couple of taller and very disappointed guys. I stuffed it in my pocket without looking. It was late and very dark, but I could tell they were cotton. After trying to grab a few more floaters, the panty raid broke up and I went back to my room to show off my booty (that's right.....booty). To my horror, I pulled them out to show the guys and the label said Fruit of the Loom, men's size 38. So help me God, every word is the truth. LOL!

That's hard to say... and it may be a short list. Conflicts of interest this blatant are not something you see every day, though. Maybe I'm naive, but I can't believe that she didn't disclose that stock holding during her confirmation hearing. It's obvious, she thought she didn't have to because her hubby was the Senate Majority Leader and she thought she was special and the rules didn't apply to her. She felt entitled. This should bother everyone on both sides of the aisle... but in this day and age, where everything is politically polarized, it's just the Democrats who are raising concerns over it, while Republicans couldn't care less. I suspect the next time a Democrat is President, there will be a conflict of interest which arises that will be just as alarming... and then Republicans will show a conscience while Democrats play dumb.

So Trump is hitting it out of the park tonight, and I thought I would just stop in at CNN and MSNBC to see how they are covering his speech... nope, not covering it live. But rather tearing him a new one, and then interviewing the next great Dem senator, who is on a mission to impeach Trump.

Nothing new... haters gonna hate.

I'm not watching the speech... but aren't Trump speeches at campaign rallies kind of a "seen one, seen 'em all" kind of deal? Let me guess, he is hitting illegal immigration hard (and he has probably talked a lot about MS-13), he has probably talked about health care (wouldn't surprise me if he bashed McCain), he has blamed Democrats for all that he failed to get done in his first two years with a Republican majority in both the House and Senate.... and he is doing some name-calling (Crazy Joe, Crazy Bernie, Crazy Nancy)? How close did I get?

They covered the start of it and it's going to be covered at length as the evening goes on. The only one to show the whole 90 minutes or so was TrumpTv.

Think about that.

If you are slightly objective you will quickly figure out which is THE MOST partisan of the bunch. Hint: Fox has sold its soul to Satan. Half of them end up working for the guy. Until he fires them because they dare speak a true fact. A single morsel of truth. Gone!

I tuned over to Fox News.. Just caught a bit of the back and forth of Hannity and a Fox reporter who was interviewing some folk in the crowd. Hannity told the reporter to thank those there for Keeping America Great.
