Well I'm shocked I tell you, never thought a con man would do that, as for donating to his own campaign you need money to do that and he is broke, looking forward to him selling off his properties for pennies on the dollar

I would love to do an audit on his campaign contributions, where the money came from and where it went. It would be quite incredible, I'm sure. Two full presidential campaigns? I bet his kids looted quite a bit.

How much money is still unaccounted for from his inauguration.

Yes, I would like to include that in my audit too. Good call!

Yup.  Consider who the National Deputy Chairmen for the RNC Campaign were:

  • Michael Cohen
  • Steve Wynn
  • Elliotte Broidy
  • Louis Dejoy

"Little did we know at the time what would soon become of the four men listed in this press statement. Steve Wynn, for example, was forced to resign from his RNC post following sexual misconduct allegations. (The RNC was pressed to return his money. It refused.)

Elliott Broidy, as regular viewers of The Rachel Maddow Show know, found himself at the center of multiple controversies.

Michael Cohen, of course, was recently released from prison, and will apparently soon release a highly provocative book.

And then there's the fourth name on the list: Louis DeJoy, the nation's current postmaster general, who appears to be helping Trump sabotage his own country's postal system, and who appears to be facing some awkward ethics questions."

*Broidy was charged for an illegall lobbying scheme yesterday.

Yeah except Kyoto didn't do much to accomplish that. Seriously it was a poor plan.

I'm assuming you mean it wouldn't save the planet.  True enough, but considering it was implemented 15 years ago and provided a foundation for countries to work towards reducing carbon emissions, I don't think it can be so easily dismissed.  Harper, being the first to repudiate it altogether, did less than zero to advance the initiative.

Could not be more straightforward than this:

 

Sitting Senator (republican) Mike Lee, Utah, Twitter.

 

Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.”

 

and comment by John Broich, PhD to this

 

“I know this has appeared in everyone's timelines multiple times today, but I just thought it'd be worth stating, as someone who teaches this stuff, that this is chapter-and-verse fascism.“

Not at all.

  • Harper tried to use the power of government to discriminate against Muslims before Trump did (Barbaric Cultural Practices Hotline)
    • He refused to speak out against anti-Muslim violence before Trump had the opportunity to ignore it.
  • Harper muzzled scientists before Trump did
  • Harper government removed the word "Environment" from the Environment Canada website.  Trump admin has removed climate change references from gov websites.
  • Harper called the Kyoto Protocol a "socialist scheme" before Trump started talking that way.
  • The Harper government gutted protections for fresh water before Trump could do it.

Tell me how Trudeau is more like Trump than Harper was, because your simple assertion does not make it so.

 

Harper, Harper, Harper. LOL. Blah, blah, blah. Get over it. Trudeau lies, steals & cheats constantly. Ethics & Trudeau in the same sentence is an oxymoron. The worst PM in Canadian history.

Stealing: Spending our tax dollars & wild spending with no let up in sight. No plan to balance the budget. Cheating: Lying & cheating go hand in hand. If you're gonna  lie. You're gonna cheat.

It's funny how the "Trudeau bad, Trudeau worst, Trudeau sucks, blah blah blah folks so commonly use this tactic to respond in defense of Harper.

You should not be typing while you're driving your bus.  Go home, think about things and then try again.

Well, I don't have to worry about paranoid lefties like you when I do work. Tell me, when you are in your bed lying awake in the dark at 3 am do you worry that boogey man Harper is lying under your bed & gonna get you?
