Different Ethics Conundrummers; Media, Flynn, Pelosi Issues

A State Department web page ad for president Trump’s Winter White House and former General Flynn’s receipt of $45,000 from the Russian media equivalent of PBS for a talk in 2015 have fueled Democrat Party attacks on the administration. If N.P.R. paid a member of a foreign government for an interview or talk (only joking), because its a quasi-governmental organization that foreigner might just have a problem. Problems of capitalists in government is a rich topic for the Democratic party leaning American branch of the global media.

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s opposition to the secure border control wall on the Mexican border known as Trump’s wall presents an example of a conflict of interest they’d rather ignore. Speaker Pelosi is in a labor intensive business growing grapes in California that uses cheap Mexican labor extensively. Her position to help herself in public office rather than national interests seems likely.

Democrats enjoy a good feud with Russia and have made Trump administration relationships with Russians subject to investigation. As a way to try to kill two birds with one stone. The idea that the Democrat Party is especially ethical is of course farcical, even so one would prefer good ethical by government officials while they are in office. N.P.R. receives financial support from the U.S. Government while their political affect is not at all to develop secure nationalism.. If they had to be a self-supporting organization that relied solely on public contributions to exist their content and delivery would be different. They could be a co-op rather than owned by global corporations. What they should not be is an informal branch of the U.S. Government that can swingingly promote social economic terrorism on individuals if they prefer.

General Flynn’s payment from the Russian media is a bone of contention. The felony word is thrown about a lot. I am not sure if he would be in such trouble if the payment was from the B.B.C. or C.B.C. The media itself is probably full of ethics issues regarding payola, and obviously commercial advertising itself is intended to influence politics and consumerism. Banks receiving zero interest loans from the Federal Government that lets banks loan out five previously non-exist e-dollars for each e-dollar deposited in their bank by the Fed raises some ethics concerns too when many people need to work for an hourly wage and don’t get a boost from the Federal Reserve. One wonders if any of those bankers have foreign investments or are foreign themselves insofar as they are in part owned by foreigners. The General was supposedly skillful at special forces missions. Maybe he wasn’t so skillful and global financial flummery (an old logging term regarding chutes/flumes with running water used to send logs to various destinations-logs are representative of cash). He said he didn’t conceal anything from the D.I.A. when questioned about the mission to Russia

The Democrat Party since Bill Clinton’s administration has advanced immoral conduct generally as a new normal. The founders revolted against British law, so when Democrats elected a British educated lawyer evil things were sure to become insinuated into the system. The funny thing is that rank and file democrat mob voters lose out most as party leaders cut taxes on the rich and pursue globalism, imperialism and anti-nationalism as if those things were good for the nation. Democrats have made nationalism a dirty word while they try to seriously to keep perennial conflict with Russia fueled and alive.

I might expect comfortably rich Americans to accept things the way they are with wealth concentrating and democracy transitioning into corporatism-socialism with real political power moving abroad to a plutocratic planetary village. If Democrats got any traction with their ethics charges and accomplished more than creating the media appearance of actually trying to get anything done that would substantially improve the national fiscal situation for government and individuals that would, and in some way they retook political power in the House that failed to get a wall built, there same ethically soiled hands would just resume passing out pork and running up debt again. They have a different, less entrepreneurial style that can better avoid conflicts of interest. People that are used to making a profit have to learn to stop doing that when they take office; except to support profit for the people they govern for whom are, after all, supposed to be the vast majority of citizens that are not I the top 10% earnings bracket.

If President Trump can legally not disclose his tax returns then there is no obligation to do so. His tax returns might disclose a lot about his business works and techniques that have enabled him to earn as much as the market average the past 40 years. I suppose a pure look into his business structure is equivalent to looking at proprietary code for Microsoft that they used to try to keep secret-at least for windows. Public domain works and personnel are different that those of private enterprise.

When Americans want to harm people, besides dropping bombs or launching missiles on them, they seek to cause financial harm. Thus getting a look at President Trumps tax information might be a way his opponents could search for ways to start causing financial injury.

On the issue of Ivanka Trump working in the White House and is that ethically o.k.? President Kennedy appointed his brother Bobby the Attorney General. Hillary Clinton was given to lead the efforts to bring Clintoncare to the voters. Presidents obviously enjoy continuing working relationships that existed before they took office or promoting relatives so far as they can get away with that. While Ivanka Trump might one day be a Presidential candidate or maybe run for the senate, one hopes that won’t occur since the basic common trend of politicians to promote relatives to high office simply isn’t good for the nation. Ivanka Trump as a trustworthy adviser to the President doesn’t seem like a problem. If she had been appointed to lead the Federal Reserve or Treasury then the public would need to be concerned.
