Trump Ethics

[carpedm9587]

Every indication is that the highest value in the Trump ethical hierarchy is "money" and "winning." We don't know a lot about how the presidency is enriching the Trump family because the Trump tax returns are "verboten." But we have reason to believe the soft stance on Russia is to protect future (and current?) Trump real estate interests in Russia. And this is another view into the ethics of Trump financial dealings.

They didn't originate this philosophy. But it has no place in the highest office in the land.

Wow, Russian conspiracy theories and the tax-return red herring. All we needed was a reference to the "golden shower" dossier and you would have hit the trifecta.

I suspect any hope of a response from you with some actual substance is probably doomed to failure...

What I find interesting, is that the AP is "a credible source" when they publish something that substantiates your political views, and they are readily dismissed when they do not. That doesn't tell us much about the AP, but it does tell us a lot about you...

I wasn't responding to the AP, I was responding to you, and I included as much substance in my response as was warranted by your recitation of the usual anti-Trump talking points.

Besides, the story is about Jared Kushner's law firm. How this has any bearing on President Trump is apparently left to the fevered imaginations of liberals.

An interesting observation on Trump ethics:

As tempting as it is to hammer Mr. Trump for his epic hypocrisy, it is a mistake. The president’s boundless benefit of the doubt for the Rob Porters and Roy Moores of the world, combined with off-with-their-heads capriciousness for immigrants accused of even minor crimes, is not a contradiction. It is the expression of a consistent worldview that he campaigned on and has pursued in office.

In this view, crime is not defined by a specific offense. Crime is defined by who commits it.

This should read "An interesting () observation on Trump ethics..."

You know, just so you get the full effect.

In this particular case you have replied 3 minutes after I wrote the post you are replying to which means that you have either responded without reading the article or read and commented on the article in 3 minutes. No wonder there is no substance in it. If you reflect you may get the full effect. But it takes time.

Hillary is not POTUS
SCOTUS is not Hillary's


Yeah, that's all I got on this.

Putin’s keeping the video safe, don’t you worry. That’s his leverage. He might let you see it the next time he needs a major distraction.

I wasn't aware he had any ethics to speak of....

Also, if you have Netflix check out the Dirty Money episode about Trump's business empire. Very interesting.

Or might have something to do with the general ethic of the people at the highest levels of our cirrent executive branch...

I am under no illusion that Trump has any ethics whatsoever. I will review the Dirty Money story, but I have already reviewed enoough about Mr. Trump's business dealings to make me aware of his lack of ethical foundation. I just cannot figure how he has become the darling child of the Christian right. Something is seriously wrong.

You know, mostly I just ignore these posts. But I am seriously curious: how does any moderately mature adult in 2018 think that responding to people with "libtard" as anything more than grade school name calling? Is there any possibility for raising the discussion to adult levels?

I'm going to assume not. The usual response to such questions is to point out how the questionner is also "shaming" the other person.

At some point, people have to just shake their heads and wonder, "what the heck?"

I was talking to MM when I said 'libtard', not you.

Libs don't have problems with calling targets to their face 'deplorables', 'racist', 'bigots', 'sexist', so stop pretending level of civility exists that doesn't. Sad!
