The daily lies coming out of the president-elect's mouth, his massive conflicts of interest, the unsuitable cabinet appoints that also reflect a complete disconnect from scientific opinion on many issues including anthropogenic origins of climate change, the blase attitude about security briefings, harassment of silicon valley business leaders, making unwarranted statements about the motivations of the intelligence agencies and the work they are doing just because it paints his election in a bad light; need i go on?

President-elect Donald Trump should divest himself of his vast business interests in order to avoid conflicts of interest while in the White House, according to a letter from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.

Moreover, transferring ownership of his businesses to his grown children wouldn't go far enough to address the conflicts, the letter said.

"Transferring operational control of a company to one's children would not constitute the establishment of a qualified blind trust, nor would it eliminate conflicts of interest" under federal statutes governing conflicts of interest, said the letter, written by OGE Director Walter M. Shaub, Jr.

One more -- statements about repealing and replacing the ACA without telling us what it will be replaced with. So I ask again -- why are the democrats out to lunch? What has happened to them?

Kinny Aunty, I'll give you marks for consistency. You whine about the pampering of Muslims the exact same way now, after you became a white Christian, as you used to when you were just another chaddi cheergirl.

Just so we stick to facts: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/orlando-shooting-gay-rights-224235

This hypocrisy is what has driven ppl away from the dems. Was there condemnation about radical islamic terrorism which prompted this? Not a word! They tried to push this as a 'gun control' issue, not terrorism (San Bernadino shootings were just 'work place violence'). Just some broad political statements about solidarity with the LGBT community won't do. Did any of the gay champions here on the board express their dismay at brutality meeted out to the innocents at the gay club and expressed their anger at the radicalism that caused this? None. These whimps don't have the guts to do so. But they get all gutsy to make noise about the chuddies and the conservatives.

The whimpiness and double standards of the leftists is what is universal and hence my condemnation of that is consistent.

Oh Kinny. Don't change the topic every time you are cornered and shown to be wrong.

You said "They pose as the champions of the LGBTQ community, but when seventy gays are brutally mass murdered, they remain silent. Not a word!"

The link proves you wrong. The Dems had roundly condemned the incident. The Republicans OTOH were too shy to utter the word LGBT.

Before you run to a new topic ie the utility of breastbeating about Islamic terrorism vs gun-control, take a minute to acknowledge that you were once again talking stuff without any basis.

Scarlet O'Hara wrote:seems like the democrats condemned the LGBTQ (and gun) part of it more, who were the targets here. The republicans condemned the Islamic part of it more.  So, if gays are targets in a case, that's the sad part. A radical islamist, typically, goes and shoots americans (or anyone) at random. As far as gays are concerned, it's not just radical Islamists against them, unfortunately. Radical(?) Christians are equally hateful against them, and have ridiculed, discriminated, beaten or killed gays over last many decades. They go a step beyond actually, by proposing all those church-backed reversal/conversion theories. So I am not surprised the republicans didn't cry much about the victims' orientation as much as they did about the shooter's religion, given both are hated by their base, but by adding the word 'radical', they can avoid criticism. The shooter frequented that bar often, and was possibly questioning his own orientation. Before dying he said isis, and  as far as isis is concerned, the democrats have consistently spoken and fought against them. Depending on what one's views on islam is, guess one won't be satisfied unless the something is said against the whole religion, not realizing how damaging it can be for a president to propagate blind hatred. But the wait is over. The next president will most likely call it out pretty regularly. Let's just sit in our bunkers and hope no one heard it.

I am not changing the topic. You are! Read my post again. Even when the group who they pose as champions of is severely hurt, there's not a word about radical islamic terrorism which is what inspired it. No guts to do so. That is so unfair to the victims. To the dems, sucking up to muslims > sucking up to all the other groups who they pose to be champions of.
