Grasping at straws suits you. Please continue.

Imagine that.

That’s what you are going with? A hard change of subject and “TRUMP RULEZ”?

And how, exactly, does that come into a conversation about a revolving-door lobbyist with stock holdings in the same companies she is going to approve contracts for? The same ones she helped skirt federal procurement regulations?

I agree but everything counts even the small stuff. And she potentially has the power to cost taxpayers a lot of money.

The story isn’t about stocks or how much she made as a college president but rather abuse of anti-lobbying laws.

She used inside influence to benefit a private company against anti-lobbying laws. Did you read the post? It isn’t about stocks per se, it is flagrant anti-lobbying abuse.

The stocks will be sold to an entity with an off-shore account in Cyprus. This entity will merely be a bogus corporation set up by Wilson or someone representing Wilson for a fee. That’s how Trump “divests” (channeling via his family and already functioning off-shore bogus corporate accounts) and others in similar…

Quite likely, but that’s still the troubling bit of information, not the stock holdings.

Likely violating the spirit of said laws, but not how they’re actually written. Pesky congress critters know how to get around the stuff their colleagues have written.

You’re right, there should be nothing wrong with divesting from stock when a new position would cause a conflict of interest. That’s what COI disclosure is meant to do, you disclose it so it’s public knowledge and then if necessary divest from it so it no longer exists.

A ‘single digit millionaire’??? Ha!! They can’t even get justice in today’s America. Fuckin’ losers.

Actually, we know a lot more than that, since she had to provide her financial disclosures in the Senate approval process. Did you read her financial disclosures?

With this administration it is par for the course, nothing to see here.

He’s got shit tons of free time. He spent last week bedazzling his office (chair, desk, files, white robe) with glittery shiny things. He likes shiny things, they are magical and make him smile.

Rick, guy, you need to do your fucking job. Or better yet, quit and let a grown-up take over.

I just want to know if he wore his smart glasses when he wrote the letter...

If you’re going to spend that much money on a ridiculous college election, at least pay someone to light your face properly when photographing you. Does McIntosh really have NO friends who are photography majors?

Not just the arsenal, but the safe containment and disposal of several million gallons of liquid nuclear waste and several tons of solid nuclear waste. All of which has a half-life of at least 10,000 years. Yet here he is, yelling at clouds about queers. We are fucking doomed.

So Rick Perry could be spending his time whining about the fact that a gay person won a college election, or managing the nation’s nuclear arsenal? I’m honestly having a hard time deciding which would be worse.
