Agree, andre and kindheart.
I don't trust Trump's remarks on the subject, either. He's happy to be "disingenuous" if he thinks it will make him look good. His henchmen are in place and he'll be happy to play good cop/bad cop. I wouldn't trust Trump as far as I could throw him. . .and I could never lift that mountain of fat and hot air. -

My issue is they seem to have no concept of why they were elected. I felt that way when they made it legal for them and only them to legally profit from insider trading. The American people need to wake up and vote these people out of office. They don't represent us anymore. They only represent themselves.

Agree, zabbree. The insider trading is blatantly criminal.
As Joy said today, "They have no shame."
I think this ethics office incident was all a sham. Trump wanted to appear to be a hero. Look at the names of the 119 members of the House who voted in favor of gutting the committee last night. I called the offices of several this morning. A couple staff members were brave enough to admit shock. They know they're on a runaway train and they're taking democracy with it.
There's an August deadline on this. The GOP is hoping no one will be paying attention then. -

There's no need to fear.
SuperTrump is here!
When liberals in this world appear
And break the laws that they should fear
And frighten all who see and hear
A cry goes up both far and near for
SuperTrump (SuperTrump!)
SuperTrump (SuperTrump!)
Speed of lightning, roar of thunder
Fighting all who rob or plunder
SuperTrump! -

Is that all you have?
A lie is knowingly stating something you know to be false. I didn't think that was a lie. I thought it was an assumption and based on the fact he didn't know what the hell he was saying. I thought it showed how little he understood about how the insurance industry works internally. Now, one could argue he should have come back and admitted he was wrong, but if you are speaking of outright lies, you'll have to do better than that. -

He did, but nobody remembers that part -
In an interview with Chuck Todd of NBC News on Nov. 7, Obama offered an apology to the many Americans who have been notified that they are, in fact, losing the health plans they previously had and wanted to keep.
I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me, Obama said. Weve got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and that were going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this.
