Why are you ok with the Trump Family and Admin Corruption?

Well, isn't this nice. You want to ask a question but state "no trolls" yet start the thread with a trollish question.

I'll pass. Thanks.

So back to the question of why are people OK with the corruption going on in this administration.

People are not only OK with the corruption, they are contributing big bucks to Trump's campaign fund/legal defense fund.

LOL


Suddenly the government is corrupt with the election of trump!!!!


If the same viewer is used to examine the obama adminstration violations, the outrage against the obama would have been far greater.


"............ officials in the Obama administration took pricey flights using taxpayers’ money, as well, including flights for personal business.
According to the report, during former President Barack Obama’s terms in the White House, both then-attorney generals Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch used non-commercial planes for travel, as did then-FBI director Robert Mueller and CIA director and defense secretary Leon Panetta."

and....... just nancy

"Speaker Pelosi used Air Force aircraft to travel back to her district at an average cost of $28,210.51 per flight. The average cost of an international congressional delegation (CODEL) is $228,563.33. Of the 103 Pelosi-led CODELs, 31 trips included members of the House Speaker’s family."


Flawed character led to the election of obama in 2008 and a corrupt DOJ and weponized federal agencies supported by the media's silence, led to the stolen election in 2012. So much for flawed character, voters and politicians.


The complaint about trump admin makes the charges laughable when previous admins are considered along with the silence of the media to protect their abuses from taxpayer outrage.

The Trump kids are spending millions of taxpayer money on Ski vacations and hunting trips.

Trump is profiting off people using his properties for business.

The list is endless.



After all the attacks on Hillary and Obama for being corrupt and wasting tax payer money, why does the Trump crime family and his administration get a free pass?


Serious answers only, no trolls.
So you want people to attack Trump verbally to keep the score even but don't expect real changes. The only people who benefit from this are people like Hillary, Trump and Obama.

It's a waste of time.

Lots of emotional far left loons here. Trump has addressed every issue with his Administration by firing the individual. He has also had to put up with the false Russia narrative, and a MEDIA that hates him as much as they loved Obama. They gave Obama a pass on all his scandals, yet make up false ones about Trump.

Logic seems a bit twisted.

In less than a year, Trump has cost taxpayers nearly what Obama spent in 8 years. There was no end of fussing about how Obama was robbing us blind. Yet it's a big shrug with Trump.

Remember "pay to play?" For a time, you could not read three threads on this forum without someone bringing up how Clinton had finagled a donation to the Clinton Foundation in exchange for access to her.

At Trump's DC Hotel, golf courses, and Mar-A-Lago, people are now paying up front and for access to him.

Trump's administration is spending millions on private jets and military jets.

Rs had a fit over a speech at Goldman Sachs and now Goldman Sachs types are wandering all over the place, deregulating banks and gutting environmental protections that will result in more $ lining their own pockets.

They are behaving in so many blatantly unethical ways that the guy overseeing ethical violations finally threw up his hands and quit.

Yet nary a word from those who were so upset about these same things for eight long years.

So strange.

Trump supporters should just be honest and say it is pure hypocrisy. As long as Trump (or whoever their candidate is) is in power corruption doesn't matter. If not, they are opposed to it. Easy as that.

What "word" would really help? There will always be a competition of who did it more or "see how it feels when we play by your rules." That is the twisted logic and there is no end to it.

If you want to see a change in people, you don't start with big ideas. You meet them where they are.

The "word" would be folks on this forum stating that they don't support wasteful spending, corruption, unethical behavior no matter who does it.
