The vetting rules for folks like Betsy DeVos and Donald Trump must be different.

Emma Brown / Washington Post: Betsy DeVos omitted $125,000 anti-union political donation from Senate disclosure form  —  President-elect Donald Trump's transition team acknowledged Friday that Betsy DeVos, Donald Trump's pick for education secretary, omitted a $125,000 political donation from disclosures she submitted. . . . .The know-nothing Progressive Left,  whether GOP or Democrat in flavor,  has no clue how to handle a man who is simply not one of them. 

Editor's notes:  If they know about Betsy De Vos and her donation to a non-union political group,  why bother with tax return demands?  Is it all about the "gottcha?"  Candidates must write and submit a summary statement with regard to their income taxes.  Trump submitted a 140 page summary.  I do not know that the law's requirement goes beyond this summary requirement. 


Trump is not hiding anything illegal,  or the Obama IRS would have revealed this.   Understand that Trump is the first and only man to become president who came to that position exclusively out of the private sector.  Vetting requirements simply cannot be the same.  Private citizens,  especially successful business types,  live their public/business lives under very different rules.  They do favors,  they make promises,  they lobby and make donations,  all to benefit their business intentions.  And,  they do all this for the express purpose of making a profit.  Somehow,  in this day and time,  "profit" is regarded as evil,  in spite of the fact that "profit/loss" statements are the single best markers as to the qualifications of a [successful] businessman.   

Losers such as Barack Obama,  Liz Warren and the Clinton's only pretend to follow their own self-serving rules.  Barack lied his ass off to get into the presidency.  Warren did precisely the same to get into Harvard and Hillary  . . . . . .  well   . . . . .  she just lies for the hell of it.    

Most Americans do not understand just how idiotic it is for us to have a president coming out of Harvard or some political think tank.  Hillary,  Warren,  Biden, Barack Obama, and others,  are in politics because they cannot do anything else, successfully.  Politicing is their cash cow.  

Trump, DeVos,  and, some of his other cabinet members,  will be working without pay.  They do not need the money.  That fact is good enough for me.

  1. The Republicans demanded Comey turn over his investigation on Clinton and now he won't even acknowledge there's an ongoing investigation into Trump's ties to the Russians. There's something very wrong with this picture.

  2. Maybe there is no investigation into the Trumped up charges of a Russian/Trump conspiracy. Certainly, there is no reason for such. This election is not about the Russian. Rather, it is about Hillary's malfeasance, her lies and 20 years of playing us all for fools.

    And, on November 8, her chickens came home to roost. the other side was NEVER going to give Trump his place as president, so who gives a damn about what they think. Turns out that November 8 was Judgment Day for all of the One World commun-ist. Understand that they are the political class, and they expect us common folk to embarrass their dominance over the rest of us.

    This is all about free people telling the slave masters of the world to go to hell, Garth Brooks included. Nothing manly about his sobbing self righteous brand of country music.

    1. Just imagine.... and I know it is impossible for you to have this perspective but... imagine if the Russian government had hacked Romney's or McCain's email in the '08 and '12 elections, releasing embarrassing quotes, information. Then imagine Obama saying 'we should all just move on' and tweeted about how smart Putin is while evidence of Russian officials celebrating Obama's win. There would be calls of treason. NO DOUBT.

      Bipartisan investigations are coming. There are still a few Republican patriots. You aren't one of them.

    2. What's the matter with you? You think Russia, China, N Korea have not been hacking our elections for years? Good grief.

      Trump still hasn't answered the question: what contacts did his campaign have with the Russians during the election?

      Impeachment.

    4. $500 on impeachment? He hasn't answered your version of "questions" because the questions are not questions, only accusation . . . . . brain dead and without merit. You lost. Case closed.

    6. Right. And Bush blew up the Twin Towers, men can become women; Obama did not have a single scandal (to was closer to 10); you can keep your doctor; monthly premiums will go down; Obama is not a Muslim sympathizer; Barack does not think our flag is a symbol of oppression; And Obama thought the communist regimes of Cuba, Chazez and Honduras were good things; the Muslim Brotherhood is not a terrorist organization; Barack loves and respects Israel . . . .
