the uber-wealthy are above the law as far as Republicans are concerned.
will a repub/con dispute this? I doubt it.

I read those comments by Gingrich on a website yesterday. I actually thought it was satire. Those comments are mind boggling.

It's "unethical" to say Gingrich answered a question like "If Donald Trump breaks the law?"
What was the question he answered or the context he was answering to? Do you even know?

I agree with Thurber, his comments are jaw-dropping.
Newt Gingrich Thinks Nepotism Laws Shouldn’t Apply To Trump Administration
The former House speaker also suggested the president-elect has the power to pardon advisers who break the law
James Thurber, director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University, also appeared on Monday’s radio segment and said he couldn’t believe what Gingrich has proposed.
“Speaker Gingrich’s statement that wealth trumps the rule of law ― basically, that’s what he was saying ― is jaw-dropping,” he said.
From doing business with Bahrain to owing foreign banks large sums of money, the president-elect is associated with unprecedented conflicts of interest that should startle most government officials.
But the potential appointment of his daughter and son-in-law to his administration is just another conflict of interest that doesn’t seem to bother many Republicans.

You didn't give a shit about Obama using the IRS against peeps nor Hillarys pay to play. Who the fvck are you to come around now talking about ethics. You peoples don't have nun.
no moral indignation coming from repub/cons.
no insistence that Gingrich is an amoral sociopath and should NEVER try to speak for Trump.
funny, eh?

How about you bring the actual video rather than your slanted poster propaganda bullshit.
Obama didn't use the IRS against anybody.
so you're giving Gingrich a pass for speaking out of school or is his sociopathic view of ethics for Republicans acceptable to you?

You have no ethics stop pretending already.
Gingrich suggested on Monday during an interview with NPR’s “The Diane Rehm Show” that Trump could sidestep anti-nepotism laws that would bar him from giving advisory roles to his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner.
you can listen to the audio on NPR and get the transcript.
try convincing us that Republicans and Trump have morals and ethics.
at least his ethics didn't have an intern on her knees under desk giving a BJ.........why do you support lib ethics?

Infowars told them the fat bloated guy making those comments that looked like Newt Grinch was Obama in white face.
They believe that
Obama is really powerful....to them.
not only do repub/cons believe any and all bullshit from Infowars, but so does their mentally unbalanced president-elect.

Obama has used the IRS against us. He put them in charge of fining any of us that would dare not to purchase his "affordable" insurance....that many can't afford. That was a sure fire way to make sure those fines were collected. It didn't matter that probably most of the middle class (who are the ones paying for that clusterfuck) couldn't afford it.

This is what's really fucked up no doubt...
You'd think this guy was playin them... or hope so but no... Benedict Donald is fucked up in the head.
I still think this is Pence's admin, not Trumps...Trump could care less about the wingers he's chosen just as long as they can make him richer.
Ryan and Pence those are dehydrating themselves from all the self fornication

What??? Isn't it true that if you don't purchase insurance (if you don't have insurance through an employer) that the IRS will fine you for it? Ya....it's true. I don't know if you're being funny by asking that question or if you've been living in a cave......

I think his quotes are accurate when viewed in context. Do you know how to do that? Because you haven't tried yet.
