Our Government, is it Honest?

Well an admitted liar has resigned as the press secretary for the administration that easily holds the record for most lies.

I have no idea what the future holds for her and in some respects she simply carried out the orders of the main liar, but don't think that is going to be much of an excuse, although she probably will end up with the so called news channel that host the most liars.

We seem to accept that lying is commonplace and we see so much of it we don't register much shock anymore.

There is of course a history of how lying became something we expected from the Government and which now has eroded some basic aspects of society.

There were probably always some misinformation but the revelations in the Pentagon Papers had a significant impact on the American psyche.  Followed up shortly thereafter with Iran-Contra and we were off to the races.

As the Internet grew we got Wiki-Leaks where secrets were revealed some of which contradicted public positions.

We have evolved to the point where everybody is either lying or accusing other of lying.

We need to restore trust in our Government, that they aren't covering up things that we need to know, like contaminates in our water supply or other dangers to our health and safety.

This is supposed to be our Government and it should have our interests as its primary concern.

Unfortunately too often it seems that large companies that can make large donations get the consideration.

That needs to change.

Quid pro Qou

Coincidentally the senator changed his mind around the same time a provision was added to the tax bill that is going to make him a lot of money.

In order to maintain his innocence he admitted that he hadn't read the bill, just relied on what otherstold him was in it.

Corker Doesn't Read

Now I believe he didn't read the entire bill, I'm pretty sure few of the monkeys did and I know the dotard didn't, but it just seems off that not one told him that they were expanding the pass thru provision to include his type of company.

I'm pretty sure none of his fellow party members will see anything suspicious here even though if someone involved in any criminal investigation of the Clintons were even at the same event as one of them years ago it is clear evidence of collusion and conspiracy.

Of course if they are actually investigating the Russian connection, it seems pretty irrelevant.

The Clintons were as ubiquitous in politics as Kevin Bacon was in movies so if you put a little effort you can probably find a link to just about anybody who's anybody is well under seven steps.

What does that mean?

Well its pretty simple, nothing, nothing at all, unless you watch Fox or are a conspiracy theorist.

Then it becomes an obsession.

Meanwhile pretty straightforward connections aren't believed because he denies it.

Lesson learned, at least for now, is just say it wasn't you.
