The ethics chief who quit just went viral with his own “State of the Union” speech

[Addy]

This is a hilarious parody re Trump's SOTU speech.


Walter Shaub, who resigned as head of the Government Ethics Office early in Donald Trump’s administration to protest the president and his cronies fast and loose ethics, is now Senior Director, Ethics, for the Campaign Legal Center, and he frequently tweets his opinion of weighty ethical matters.

The Shtate Of The Uniom Ish Tremendoush.”


“My fellow “Americans,” and you know who you are (wink), I will now read Steve Miller’s monotonous words.”

“There’s my wife Melania looking stormy tonight. We should be so lucky to have more immigrants like that. She’s from Slovenia. It’s next to Norway. So, she’s like practically a Norway person.”

“There’s the sweet aroma of anticipation in the air because coal jobs are coming back, along with other traditional professions: blacksmiths, cordwainers, boatswains, Bookbinders for a paperless society! Wheelwrights unite!”

“I.m reopening Guantanamo. Abu Ghraib too. And those secret CIA places – I’m not talking about those buildings with steeples where they torture you with sermons. I’m talking gulag-style torture. The best torture. Yes, America is great again! Halleluj. Halleluuuuuge,”

“In conclusion, the sthtate of the uniom ish great! So are my conflicts of interest. So great.”

Wow. Incredible. Folks, let me tell you, never seen a biglier speech before.

Have they continued to bring more prisoners in? I thought they had been trying to remove/transfer them out for quite some time.

That might have been funny but I'll never know because I don't read anything I know is bullshit.

There are 15 "detainees" still there. Obama couldn't make a deal to get rid of them I guess. We still have soldiers there guarding them. It never closed. Now, it still won't! Sounds like ANY terrorist that is caught, here or in other countries, that will be their new home.

It must be quite expensive to keep it open for just 15 detainees.

He left early on after unethical Trump entered the WH.

I guess Obama couldn't find anyone to take them. They'll be joined by more in the near future.

I guess Trump wasn't going to allow him to be unethical any longer.

It been open since 1903.

Somehow I bet you didn't know it's a US naval base for 115 years. Sad.

The military prison for terrorists was built just prior to its opening in 2002.

I wonder how many Democrats don't know it's a navy base. I spent two months on deployment to Gitmo. The main base, called Seward or Windward, is like a small American town. The other side, called Leeward, where the patrol squadrons were billeted, is, or was a shit-hole.

The cost of keeping GITMO open is more amazing.. not that there's a naval base.

Guantanamo Camp Costs $900,000 A Year Per Inmate

WASHINGTON, May 3 (Reuters) - It’s been dubbed the most expensive prison on Earth and President Barack Obama cited the cost this week as one of many reasons to shut down the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, which burns through some $900,000 per prisoner annually.

The Pentagon estimates it spends about $150 million each year to operate the prison and military court system at the U.S. Naval Base in Cuba, which was set up 11 years ago to house foreign terrorism suspects. With 166 inmates currently in custody, that amounts to an annual cost of $903,614 per prisoner.
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/03/guantanamo-camp-cost_n_3211978.html

“With a cost that has now topped $5 billion, keeping Guantanamo open is a drain on taxpayers and a recruiting tool for terrorists,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat. “Most importantly, holding prisoners without charge or trial for decades erodes the bedrock of our democracy. It’s a clear violation of due process and the rule of law.”

Don't worry your little head. Just go back to thinking Obama closed it.

Addy, no one here expects you to understand what a navy base is. The cost of the detainment facility is primarily for feeding the inmates. It's on the base so the cost is minimal.

 

[Addy]

Oh wise one, why would I think that -- when there has been so much controversy surrounding closing GITO...
I just thought they were no longer accepting new prisoners since quite a few prisoners have actually been removed/transferred.

$900,000 per inmate a year is not exactly what I would call minimal.
