Shirkey apologized for his words, but he did not actually admit that he was wrong, only that his words were unwise. I think the Senate Majority Leader in Michigan needs to step down from at least his position and quite possibly his seat.

I remained stunned that people like this rise to positions of power.  I must be the most naive person in the world.

While most of Ivanka’s work in the White House was fairly nebulous, we do know that she worked on the Trump administration’s implementation of the Opportunity Zones program in 2018, apparently violating conflict of interest law in the process. At the same time that Ivanka was working on Opportunity Zones, Jared owned a significant financial stake in a company called Cadre which offers investment vehicles under the Opportunity Zones program. When Trump and Kushner entered the administration, Kushner’s stake in Cadre was valued between $5 million and $25 million. The value would rise to $25 million to $50 million. Kushner originally failed to disclose his ownership in Cadre. Despite the fact that the top White House ethics official determined at one point that it was “reasonably necessary” for him to divest from Cadre in order to do his job at the White House, he never did.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump should never have been allowed to work in the White House. The Department of Justice reversed decades of precedent to grant President Trump’s wish to have his children work in the White House. While taking on enormous responsibilities that they were unqualified to carry out, and debasing their positions with constant ethics scandals, they likely made hundreds of millions of dollars from questionable sources.

 I remain not stunned that people like this rise to positions of power.   President Garfield's initiative to end this sort of thing has been progressing rather slowly.

Jared and Ivanka will both find Islam in prison.

"This riot was predictable and foreseeable"

Yes, this is why so many Capitol police and other law enforcement were at the ready.

No, the folks who vote for people like this strike me as far more naïve than you.

2/3rds of Americans approve of Biden's pandemic response.

Of course they do.
The press is adoring, all the hard work was done by Trump...all he has to do is distribute the vaccines.

"All the hard work was done by Trump" is a set of words never once truthfully spoken by anyone.

The hard work, for the government, is the distribution.

What hard work?  Warp speed was done with a pen.  "All he has to do...." is some "rest of the fucking owl" shit.

Not by the skilled lawyers Trump has retained. Maybe they’ll bring “Ms. Powell” on.

Trump will be acquitted. I’m sure you’ll be ecstatic.
