The federal government’s top ethics officer sent a letter to all federal agencies late last week warning that he is “deeply concerned that the actions of some in government leadership have harmed perceptions about the importance of ethics.” He urged all federal workers to redouble their commitment to acting honorably.

The memo specifically targets actions by “government leadership,” which implies Trump administration political appointees.

Draining the swamp, not!

Imagine sitting in a different seat on a bus as a protest though. What's it going to change?

Sitting in a different bus seat will have as much an effect on change as kneeling during a national anthem. HTH.

You're a bit young, are you, Loz? Do a bit of googling, and I think you'll find that one of the greatest societal changes in America's history arose from just that: sitting in the "wrong" seat on the bus.

Meh, it's still early. Anyhow, kneeling isn't going to change jack shit.

Whooooosh.

Does kneeling in prayer show disrespect to God

Good point. It's fine if you're just protesting about priestly nonces I would say.

Does kneeling when you propose show disrespect for the person you want to marry?

South Park solved this already last year.

Yep, but he still has time.

It is claimed that Trump went to the Pentagon and demanded they increase the number of nuclear warheads by a factor of ten. It was due to this demand it is claimed caused Tillerson to describe Trump as a moron.

Trump is denying he made this request.

I am surprised the Press have not quoted this Trump tweet from August which tends to support the claim above;
BTW, there is no evidence that the US nuclear arsenal has changed in any respect so is not far stronger and more powerful than ever before!

It would be really nice if the Fake President of the USA would tweet something that makes sense once in a while! See attached from earlier today.

I'd have thought that the former CEO of a large organisation would have noticed that newspapers, websites and even TV channels devote large sections, daily, to financial reporting. There are even newspapers dedicated to the subject.

But more importantly, as has been noted many times, the stock market has been in a constant growth phase since 9 March, 2009 -- i.e. during pretty much the whole of Obama's presidency. The growth of the stock market since the 2016 election is anything but unprecedented!

And finally, if the stock market is doing so fabulously well, thereby allowing everybody who invests in it (and that's almost every American, through their 401(k) investments), why would Trump "need tax cuts"?!* He just makes no sense!



*Except for himself and his personal interests, of course.

Just read your post to my OH. Expect the neighbours to come complaining any moment (if they speak Greek). The English part was.. "The guy's an effing malaka! He's an effing idiot! He makes Theresa May look intelligent and that's an achievement! He should go back to playing in his Chump Towers, Malakia!"

And breathe.....

"if the stock market is doing so fabulously well,why would Trump "need tax cuts" Exactly

If Trump cancels NAFTA then he can stop the growth of the stock market with one stroke!

Federal officials privately admit there is a massive shortage of meals in Puerto Rico three weeks after Hurricane Maria devastated the island.

Officials at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) say that the government and its partners are only providing 200,000 meals a day to meet the needs of more than 2 million people. That is a daily shortfall of between 1.8m and 5.8m meals.

The scale of the food crisis dwarfs the more widely publicized challenges of restoring power and communications. More than a third of Puerto Ricans are still struggling to live without drinking water.

“There is no urgency in the government response to this humanitarian crisis,” Andrés (José Andrés founder of World Central Kitchen) said. “They have all the officials and armed guards at headquarters, but they have no information about the island. They don’t even have a map they can share about who needs food.

World Central Kitchen are delivering 90,000 meals per day in Puerto Rico; their contract ended yesterday and nobody knows when or if its contract will be renewed.

No, some things are impossible.

More imported they will not come back ,to support DUMP

Shocking that Trump threatens a news outlet because it prints stuff he does not like.

On the other hand nobody knows what licence he is talking about
