    Well the fact that you thought he was a "right-wing hero" eight years ago kind of makes my point where you are concerned.

    I am not defending anyone. I just want all the perpetrators identified. Pelosi is one of the absolute worst and obviously Feinstein.

    I was actually giving republicans the benefit there, Bush passed Obama a failing economy, it went down a lot and then Obama reversed it

    DOW
    Obama took office : 13,649.70
    Obama left offcie : 19,827.00

    Trump today : 19,173.98

    the Trump Crash

    No that would be you and others, I'm just stating the facts again. How many times did you end up with egg on your face in all the "We really got Trump this time" by no waiting for the investigation to complete?

    The Republicans passed the Democrats a great one, that included Senator Obama. Why are you diverting to Bush and Obama now?

    I don't know if this was posted earlier in this thread, but I see Burr has asked for an Ethics Committee investigation into himself, which I find refreshing.

    Of all the goobers in the Senate GOP, Burr has always seemed to me to be among the least offending, so I'll give him the BOTD for now and await that investigation.

    https://news.yahoo.com/critics-call-sen-richard-burr-143324016.html

    However, the last time I recall somebody asking for an ethics investigation into their own actions, Al Franken was run out of town before he got his...

    I'm saying have the ethics investigation and everyone calm down until we do. As I have said I was discussing my holdings with my broker at the same time. I was concerned at the same time. Weren't you?

    It's legal for Congress members to do this if I recall this covered on television a couple years ago ... 60 Minutes.

    It's not refreshing, it's business as usual. The issue is a violation of the Stock Act, so that makes this a criminal issue. By trying to get this referred to the ethics committee, Burr is trying to short circuit a DOJ investigation, because that could lead to criminal charges, while nothing much will ever happen from an Ethics committee investigation.

    I find Burr very offensive. Now I'm more sure than ever he's guilty.

    Even less will happen from this current version of the "Justice" Department against a Trump ally...

    You must know that by now...

    Just one thing. Burr isn't a Trump ally.
