B-Man Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 HIT ‘EM WHERE IT HURTS: End EPA’s Ideology-Driven Slush Funds. Another, case in point is the Volkswagen AG scandal from 2015. As part of the VW’s emissions settlement, the company agreed to invest $2 billion on electric vehicle infrastructure in the U.S. While this money may seem connected to the emissions cheating, in reality, it went to a nonprofit interest groups unrelated to the settlement and parties involved. The VW settlement follows not one, but two unsuccessful requests for congressional funding for electric vehicle infrastructure by the Obama administration. VW wasn’t the only company required to pay money to finance third-parties through slush funds. In the $20.8 billion settlement for the Gulf oil spill, the largest settlement in U.S. history, BP was ordered to pay up to $8.8 billion to the Natural Resource Damage Assessment Trustees in order to fund restoration work on the Gulf of Mexico. Again, while this may seem related, the money going to coastal restoration was also used to fund projects not directly related to the spill. This a problem. Nah — quasi-legal slush funds are just another feature of Obama’s “remarkably scandal-free” administration. And if you want to know why the Left is working so furiously to drive Pruitt from office? It’s all about the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot more to his sabre rattling than simply the running of the mouth. I don't understand the guy but he is quite empowering with only a few on the fence at this point. Only in the last few months have I really bought in to the idea that he's not a joke. TrannyGreg had a bit to do with that by exposing the situations going on that the mainstream press is just now picking up on. At this point I can only say he is the best fit of the 2016 election to what this country needed. We needed change and rorry srit there is a lot of change!

Tiberius Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Did he also visit "pizza" places? Quote The top Democrat on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee on Tuesday detailed the allegations of misconduct against Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, the president’s pick to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, a list that includes drinking on the job and improperly prescribing medications. Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) told NPR that the allegations against Jackson were not made by lawmakers but were instead unearthed by members of the military who work with the Navy doctor. More than 20 military employees have shared the allegations with senators, Tester said. “We were told stories where he was repeatedly drunk while on duty where his main job was to take care of the most powerful man in the world,” Tester said of Jackson, who has served as the presidential physician to Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama. “That’s not acceptable.” Jackson is also accused of handing out prescription sleeping medication on long flights that crossed multiple time zones. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/04/25/ronny-jackson-allegations-550155 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 This is an admission of corruption, right? Don't worry Conservatives, I don't expect an answer The Post reports: Mick Mulvaney, interim head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, told banking executives Tuesday that as a South Carolina congressman he always met with constituents. But he never met with out-of-town lobbyists, he said, unless they gave him campaign money — explaining why the bankers should push their agenda on Capitol Hill. “We had a hierarchy in my office in Congress,” said Mulvaney, who was a leading conservative in the House until President Trump tapped him as his budget director, a job he still holds. “If you were a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didn’t talk to you. If you were a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Ha ha!! Jackson got drunk and wrecked a government vehicle! The guy should have just stayed on the job he had. Impossible not to get smeared with crap if you try and work for Trump. Quote White House physician Ronny L. Jackson, President Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, wrecked a government vehicle after getting drunk at a Secret Service going away party, according to an explosive list of allegations released Wednesday by the Democratic staff of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee. In the two-page summary of interviews conducted by the minority staff, Jackson also stands accused of a “pattern” of handing out medications with no patient history, prescribing medications to himself, and contributing to a hostile work environment with “a constant fear of reprisal.” According to the report: “Jackson was described as ‘the most unethical person I have ever worked with,’ ‘flat-out unethical,’ ‘explosive,’ ‘100 percent bad temper,’ ‘toxic,’ ‘abusive,’ ‘volatile,’ ‘incapable of not losing his temper,’ ‘the worst officer I have ever served with,’ ‘despicable,’ ‘dishonest,’ as having ‘screaming tantrums’ and “screaming fits,’ as someone who would ‘lose his mind over small things,’ ‘vindictive,’ ‘belittling,’ ‘the worse leader I’ve ever worked for.’” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/va-nominee-faces-explosive-new-allegations-of-drinking-wrecking-government-vehicle/2018/04/25/d1a8e0b2-48c4-11e8-8b5a-3b1697adcc2a_story.html?utm_term=.5006e9c998ea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The president talked about draining the swamp. This administration is the swamp.
