Does the #CorkerKickBack prove that Trumpists don't care about corruption? | |

Offer Upgrade  User ID: 75454908  Denmark12/19/2017 02:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Your biggeat selling point all along was "fighting corruption", but the #CorkerKickBack is about as corrupt as it gets even among the D.C. swamp. The motto of Trumpists is "If you can't beat them, join them."  Corker, who has made headlines this year for feuding with President Trump, was the only Republican to vote against the president’s signature legislative effort when it passed the Senate several weeks ago. At the time he said its price tag—the bill is expected to add $1 trillion to the deficit—was unacceptable. On Friday, however, he appeared to have a change of heart, saying the bill represented a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity for business. A report by the International Business Times highlighted several last-minute changes to the tax bill that it said would personally benefit Corker and other Republican politicians, including President Trump. Corker’s vote could be critical. With a 52-seat majority and Arizona Sen. John McCain absent this week for medical treatment, Republicans cannot afford to lose more than a couple of votes.

One doesn't become that wealthy through business unless they're thinking about themselves all the time. |

Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] |
