We aren't the police for the world.
There is simply too much suffering in our own country. We need to fix those problems first, and then think about taking care of the world.

FanaticDan... Twitter the sirens song of the Lemmings. See them rushing towards the absurd in mass.
Many.. Twits tweet and retweet twisted tidbits to twidiots who post them on message boards.

Welcome to Swamp City! Apologies for the smell
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/15/u...conflicts.html
Long article, just a couple highlights (of many)..
Quote:
This revolving door of lobbyists and government officials is not new in Washington. Both parties make a habit of it.
But the Trump administration is more vulnerable to conflicts than the prior administration, particularly after the president eliminated an ethics provision that prohibits lobbyists from joining agencies they lobbied in the prior two years. The White House also announced on Friday that it would keep its visitors’ logs secret, discontinuing the release of information on corporate executives, lobbyists and others who enter the complex, often to try to influence federal policy. The changes have drawn intense criticism from government ethics advocates across the city.

Quote:
He said that Mr. Trump’s own ethics executive order in late January eliminated a requirement, first adopted by President Barack Obama, that executive branch appointees not accept jobs in agencies they recently lobbied. That weakened standards applying to approximately 4,000 executive branch hires.
Mr. Trump also made it easier for former lobbyists in the government to get waivers that would let them take up matters that could benefit former clients.
During the Obama administration, these waivers were given only under a narrow set of circumstances, and had to be filed and explained in an annual report for public inspection, Mr. Shaub said. The waivers were also previously posted on the Government Ethics website. None have been posted since Mr. Trump became president, as sharing them is no longer required.
“There’s no transparency, and I have no idea how many waivers have been issued,” Mr. Shaub said in an interview, adding that he could not comment on any individual matter until a complaint had been filed and investigated.

We will be older men when President Donald J. Trump is re-elected. Your material might be SOS.

I hear this often. Point out some suffering for me. Tell me where there is wholesale suffering that is not addressed or at least had a program created to stop it. Btw, self induced suffering is off the table. Heroin users, et al cause their own problems.

Sorry for taking this thread in a different direction. Not sure were else this goes except a new thread?
In any case, it is interesting that Chris Christie was the prosecuting attorney that sent Jared Kushner's father, Charles, to prison. (Jared is Ivanka Trump's husband for those who don't know all the players in Trump's admin.)
I never thought Christie had a shot at being the vice-president, but now it seems like he had NO shot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Kushner
Interesting article in Vanity Fair about all the players:
http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/...ouse-civil-war
"The Kushners were a prominent Democratic real-estate family in New Jersey. Their relationship to politics was mostly as members of the donor class. A person close to Jared told me that growing up in New Jersey taught him the utterly transactional nature of politics. His ability to move with ease from one political ideology to another, depending on what seems useful at the moment, comes naturally."
