Yeah, I often wonder how ethical I'd be if place in a position of power like that. Accepting what may seem at the time harmless freebees. Not that I'm justifying what he did. Just wondering how power can go about corrupting a person.

Absolute power would eventually absolutely corrupt a person? I suppose I see this more or less a trait common to man.

So, we enter the "be careful what you wish for" phase.

It's about time. His corruption was an entire swamp all to itself.

Confronting public servants is getting into a swing. As these people start accosting government official, they need to remember that one day when the Democrats eventually move back into control, by that time the accosting will be in "full" swing. What's good for the goose...........

What is interesting is that we have entered a era where speaking to someone is “accosting them”. People say they want civil discourse, but the snowflakes can’t handle even that.

I'm not sure the accosting had any relevance to the person resigning. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. Unfortunately, this is going to lend support to the idea that it did so likely to encourage more of the same.

I am sure it had nothing to do with it, but I am having some fun with the idea. We need to get Kristin Mink a meeting with Donald Trump as soon as possible and see what happens.

And seriously, we should be encouraging people to talk to their political representatives.

Having someone full of outrage confronting you while you are trying to having a quiet dinner with friends is hardly civil discourse in my books. So, we should could be good with people behaving like baboons? As stated, one day the tables will be turned. Are you good with that too?

I think there's more to it than a school teacher / mom making a statement.

"My desire in service to you has always been to bless you as you make important decisions for the American people. I believe you are serving as President today because of God's providence. I believe that same providence brought me into your service. I pray as I have served you that I have blessed you and enabled you to effectively lead the American people. Thank you again Mr. President for the honor of serving you and I wish you Godspeed in all that you put your hand to."


Interesting. He seems to worship God and Trump. Good riddance to bad rubbish. But who knows what we'll get for a replacement. It will be hard to top Pruitt's attack on the environment. But knowing Trump he can find someone worse to lead a position designed to protect the environment.

Apparently the restaurant, The Red Hen itself is receiving death threats forcing it to close for security reasons.

This is an excellent example of what I mean when I talk about snowflakes.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with what that woman did. It was brave and completely appropriate. And if conservatives intend to follow this example I think that would be wonderful.

What occured is pretty much the definition of accosting vs being invited to engage in civil discourse. Perhaps politicians need to make themselves more available?

One can accost and still be civil about it. They both seemed fairly civil about it. I don't know if I'd be as civil, I mean to hear hear out, but I'd certainly invite her to my office to discuss her grievances.

Scott being a bad apple anyway probably didn't have much of a moral ground to stand on to refute anything she had to say.

That's bad too, but actions have consequences especially if one wants to involve themselves into politics.

So we get closer and closer to the era of incivility? Being apolitical is looking more and more desirable.

What she did was more than a tiny bit rude. Are you good with former clients coming up to you while you are out and asking if you are still screwing things up?

“former clients”. What are you talking about? In what way was she a “former client”? This was a woman trying to defend her child’s future. And she was in no way rude. She did not yell, she did not call him names, or use bad language, she did not threaten him. Her actions we absolutely appropriately and laudable.

Yeah, it’s like he took millions of dollars from Russia via a foundation front organization and “speaking fees” and gave Russia a “reset” button, or used FBI flies for personal political purposes.
