SCOTUS nominee Gorsuch is right to call into question Trump's attacks on judges ruling against him. It's not any better than Obama at SOTU.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 10, 2017
Over 1 million people are employed in state/local law enforcement, 75% with arrest authority. Since 2004, less than 75 police killed per yr.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 10, 2017
It's more dangerous to work as a logger or a fisherman than as a policeman. Trump is engaging in fearmongering to justify authoritarianism.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 10, 2017
Once again, like "progressives" abusing statistics, Trump exaggerates violence against police and ignores declining crime rates.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 10, 2017
Congressman Chaffetz is correct: Conway's public endorsement of Ivanka Trump crap is a violation of professional ethics. She must be fired.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 10, 2017

@Pappiness Hillary Clinton was responsible for people dying, by promoting the Libyan invasion and keeping the Benghazi mission open.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 10, 2017
Trump's belated embrace of the "One China" policy just demonstrates to the rest of the world his impulsive, unprincipled decision style.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 10, 2017
@BillHartshorn We are talking about a contributing member of American society since her teens, a full generation-plus. Not pieces of paper.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 9, 2017
No real conservative argues we have a right to interfere in the internal affairs of other people--who they can date, where they can go, work— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 10, 2017
Every time I get spammed by one of these anti-immigrant zealots, it makes me want to take a shower. If you enter TX from the N,W,E OK;S, No.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 10, 2017
It's good to see the courts push back on Trump's travel ban and other forms of executive abuse of power, like how the courts rebuked Obama.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 10, 2017
This is Soft Rock America. In a more just society, Trump would have to live like one: https://t.co/FUAxzrdr8y— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 9, 2017

Donald Trump splitting a mother from her American children? What happened to the GOP's focus on family values? #GuadalupeGarcia— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 9, 2017
Trump is heading a dysfunctional government that can't pay its bills. He's got more important things to worry about than Ivanka's sales nbrs— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 9, 2017
But for Trump to address the issue is a clear, compelling violation of professional ethics, because it bears materially on family wealth.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 9, 2017
I don't give a damn about whether Nordstrom carries ivanka Trump clothing. If it were profitable, Nordstrom would lose sales to competitors.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 9, 2017
I am getting tired of corrupt Trump abusing the powers of the Presidency to bash companies in the private sector, trying to one-up JFK,Obama— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 9, 2017
It's like the Starkist commercial about fish with good taste vs. fish that taste good. Trump has made the bully pulpit a pulpit for bullies.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 9, 2017

(Reason). Republican Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, just sent a letter to the White House saying Kellyanne Conway appeared to "violate federal ethics regulations" today when she urged people to "go buy Ivanka's stuff."Next thing you know President Reagan will have said he loved Jelly-Bellies, and President Clinton will be stopping at McDonald's during a jog because he says he loves their fries. Another non-news story. Conway is an American and can answer any question as she damn well wants.
Conway profits?
Start with her job.
I don't recall Reagan or Clinton publicly endorsing those products. This is not Conway saying in response to a question that she's wearing Ivanka Trump crap. If you don't understand the difference, you're a disingenuous hack.
(National Review). "Are Donald Trump’s remarks about the judges handling the challenges to his refugee order a threat to an independent judiciary?"
You hypocrites didn't mind it when the judiciary kept spanking Obama, including a record number of shutout decisions at SCOTUS.
