I really just wanted to use that twice :embarrassed:
 
"Scott Pruitt, the Environmental Protection Agency administrator, who lied to Congress about his use of a private email account; Tom Price, the secretary of health and human services, who lied about a sweetheart deal to purchase stock in a biotechnology company at a discount; and Steven Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary, who falsely told Congress that his financial firm didn’t engage in “robo-signing” of foreclosure documents, seizing homes without proper consideration.

And they would have served with Michael Flynn as national security adviser, but for the fact that Mr. Flynn was forced out after the press discovered that, like Mr. Sessions, he had lied about contacts with the Russian ambassador.

But now we have the president who ran the Miss Universe competition in Moscow three years ago, and who declared just last year that “I know Russia well,” then last month said, “I haven’t called Russia in 10 years.”



people really cared about lperjury when bill clinton was in office. these days not so much.
 
I think the problem is that political parties do a shit job of investigating their own administrations. Good luck getting the Republican controlled Congress to look into any potential wrongdoing on the part of anyone in Trump's administration.

I lol'd at the AOL thing too. I didn't even know they still had AOL. I can imagine him sitting down at a 486 PC and listening to the "You've Got Mail" sound.

GE, Boeing, Raytheon, Martin Marietta, Sanders, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, United Technologies, General Dynamics, AM General, and Lockheed Martin told Congress everything was fine. It said so right on the memo line of the campaign contribution checks.

Indeed. That's why you need non-partisan oversight (with actual power to do their job) for all branches of government (fed & state). But yall know how that goes...

There are quite a few AOL buildings around here. I'm not sure what they do these days, but they are still around doing something. I used to hang out with a guy who worked for them in the early 90s. He was one of the guys who wrote AIM. He retired in the early 2000s in his early 30s. Dick.

I assume one building is completely full of CD mailers containing AOL software.
