It's not a dodge. Obama campaigned on my dime. You're outrage is selective as usual.

Not really an answer to my question, stupid mother er.
I can only assume, since you dodged when answered, that yes, you do think Trump's administration is riddled with ethics problems.
What do you think we should do about the massive ethics problems in the Trump administration?
* Melting down.
* Selective outrage.
* Obama campaigned on my dime.
You had a chance to say "no that isn't right", but yet you didn't. I will have to assume you do think that the Trump administration is riddled with ethics problems.I can only assume, since you dodged when answered, that yes, you do think Trump's administration is riddled with ethics problems.

Yet you offer no solutions, when asked.

RG you're now full blown Boots, regurgitated articles others never took time to read but posting them as if you're going to win the information war one article at a time.
Once you get to the point where you've gone 50 pages of just your own posts, you'll be there. At that time we'll have your AR-15s taken away for your own safety.
Either I have shown there is a "vast array of ethics problems" or not. Cosmic Cowboy said that the OP was short on details, so I provided a small glimpse of the mountain of what is out there.
This should concern anyone who cares about good government.
Your comment doesn't really surprise me here. You don't care about what is true, just what makes you feel superior to others, emotion over reason. That destroys your own credibility on anything more than any rant boutons might go on, or series of posts on my part.
If you cared about what was true, you might address the topic. Instead, you go on some "look how bad RG is" over some butthurt we have all forgotten. Get over yourself, and show a little concern about what is going on around you.
Donald Trump Jr.’s Indian vacation: The family cash-grab continues
Don Jr. makes a big overseas trip that’s “strictly business” — selling access in the most blatant way imaginable
The ads, which have run repeatedly in the past few days, herald the arrival not of the American president but of his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., who is in New Delhi to sell luxury apartments and lavish attention on wealthy Indians who have already bought units in a Trump-branded development outside the Indian capital.
it was hard to imagine just how blatantly corrupt the family would be --
and how little interest anyone would take in their massive conflicts of interest.
After all, Trump had just won the election by tarring his opponent as "crooked."
the son of the president dissing China for being "dishonest" (as fatuous as that is coming from a Trump) carries a whole different meaning.
Trump Jr. says this is purely a business trip,but
he will be giving a big policy address on Friday at an event with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and finance minister Arun Jaitley.
Junior's speech is en led "Reshaping Indo-Pacific Ties,"
Don Jr. also plans to attend lavish dinners to thank the Trump-brand condo buyers, which some people think looks like selling access to the White House by putting money directly into the family's personal coffers.
This is, after all, a regular occurrence in the U.S. Just last weekend, Trump hobnobbed with the members of his exclusive Florida golf resort, asking them about the issues of the day.
Those people pay $200,000 a year for the privilege of personally telling the president about their concerns. It's just how the Trump family rolls.
the billionaire scion went out of his way to compliment India for its nice poor people, who he says are very happy,
unlike the unpleasantly solemn poor folks elsewhere in the world. It could have been worse.
He didn't call India a " hole," or at least not yet.
Donald Trump used his ownership of the Miss Universe pageant to advantage his business deals in various countries.
he unilaterally changed the votes so contestants from nations with whom he wanted to curry favor would win, and
would locate the pageant in places where he was trying to make branding deals.

I'm sure DMC is on board with selling the president to the highest bidder.
You liter the forum with droppings from various websites with no input of your own. I see no reason to be diverted by it. I know these other sites exist. If I want to read them I'll go there.
Interesting.
Rather than take the opportunity to say you do care about what is true, you attack me, after I criticize you for being more concerned about attacking me than the truth itself.
S'all good I guess. Intellectual rigor isn't for everybody.
You be you.
I haven't attacked you. The fact that you chose that tact speaks volumes about your motives here though.
Also notable that even you don't comment on the things you post, you just hope something grows out of the you sprinkle.
(shrugs)
If it will make you happy I will add:
"Here is another example of one of many serious ethics problems with the Trump administration" to every single post here.
Ethics problems you don't seem to care about. Why is that?
I don't care about scattered droppings from various sources. The world is full of opinions. You're not even offering a discussion, just trying to get your point across by show what other people think.
I don't come here to read other websites. This kind of kills discussions. Many "decent" discussion sites prohibit regurgitation style spamming.
"you don't give a about walls of text from unlimited sources, ergo you are ok with whatever I am railing against in all these posts that I don't comment on" -RG
Every post is an opportunity to comment on the topic. You chose not to.I don't care about scattered droppings from various sources. The world is full of opinions. You're not even offering a discussion, just trying to get your point across by show what other people think.
I don't come here to read other websites. This kind of kills discussions. Many "decent" discussion sites prohibit regurgitation style spamming.
That is enough to conclude, after weeks of discussion, that you don't care about the current administrations vast array of ethics problems and rampant, obvious corruption.
Deal with it, snowflake. That is how the truth works.
The Corruption Will Be UnPresidented
Trump Charges His Campaign Top Dollar To Rent A Basically Empty Trump Tower Office
His tiny re-election effort spent more on its monthly rent there than his campaign paid for most of the 2016 run.

Emails Reveal Role Ben Carson And His Wife Played In Controversial Office Redecorating
The HUD secretary previously denied knowing $31,000 in taxpayer money had been spent on a dining set.
Emails published Monday suggest that Housing and Urban Development Secretary
Ben Carson and his wife were personally involved in redecorating his government office, which led to the purchase of a $31,000 dining set.
The Carsons were involved in back-and-forth discussions about furniture purchases, according to internal staff emails made available through a Freedom of Information Act request from American Oversight, a left-leaning watchdog group.
In one email with the subject line “Secretary’s dining room set needed,” a staffer is said to have “print outs [sic] of the furniture the Secretary and Mrs. Carson picked out.”
Carson previously said he had no say in the matter, a claim that his office supported.

White House wheel of fortune: Inside the Trump circus of corruption
Ben Carson’s furniture! Ryan Zinke’s “cone of silence”! Ivanka’s double-dealing! And that’s only the beginning
Axios' Jonathan Swan quoted a White House staffer summing up the atmosphere these days:
This is the most toxic working environment on the planet.One thing Trump's game of musical chairs is accomplishing is that it's become almost quaint to worry about the
Usually tough times bring people together.
But right now this atmosphere is ripping people apart.
There's no leadership, no trust, no direction and this point there's very little hope.
Would you want to go to work every day not knowing whether your future career was going to be destroyed without explanation?
massive amount of corruption within the administration.
It is now so commonplace that when it becomes public there is a moment of hand-wringing in the press and then ... nothing happens.
For all the turnover in this administration, virtually none of it has been because of the self-dealing and profiteering that's reported virtually every day.One cabinet member who was forced to resign over his nearly half-million dollars in travel expenses in the first few months of the administration, former HHS Secretary Tom Price.
If anyone thought the president was making an example of him, it didn't take.
Since then, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has also been taken to task for excessive travel costs and
EPA administrator Scott Pruitt racked up huge bills for personal travel, insisting he needed the extra security of first-class travel because someone once shouted something insulting at him in coach.
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, a man worth $300 million, requested government planes that cost $25,000 an hour to fly him and his wife to their European honeymoon.
The wealthiest man in the administration is Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and, according to this article by David Dayen at the Intercept, his conflicts of interest are massive -- even aside from his holdings in Russian interests that look su ious under current cir stances.
After the release of the Paradise Papers, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., complained that
Ross had seriously misled the Congress in his confirmation hearings and compared his financial statements to "Russian nesting dolls." He's never been more influential in the cabinet.
Then there are the Trumps and the Kushners.
The emoluments issue seems to have disappeared
despite the fact that foreign governments are routinely spending massive sums at Trump hotels to curry favor with the president, and God only knows what they're doing at his foreign properties.
Donald Trump continues to do almost weekly promotional appearances at this resorts and golf properties,
charging people big bucks for access to him and pocketing the money.
The Trumps have even tried to use the presidential seal to sell their cheap branded merchandise:
"The presidential seal being sold on mugs at Trump Tower.
It’s illegal to use the seal for commercial purposes."
Now it looks like Ivanka Trump herself is finally coming under scrutiny.
She did not divest her holdings in the Trump Organization and
is receiving more than a million dollars a year from projects with state-owned companies around the world,
even as she works in the White House without a proper clearance and travels the globe as a representative of the U.S. government. It's astonishing that she is getting away with this.
But that's nothing compared to her husband Jared Kushner, who secured loans for himself and his family in excess of half a billion dollars after meetings in the White House about possible infrastructure projects.
Then there are the su ions that Kushner pressured the government of Qatar to bail out his family debt and
changed American foreign policy to punish the Qataris when they didn't come across.
This is just the corruption we know about.
Some of it is penny-ante and some of it is massive in scale.
There's skimming from the taxpayers and leveraging government policy for personal gain.
As in a banana republic or a mob-run kleptocracy, it's pervasive in every part of the administration, woven into the fabric of everyday business.
But because this presidency is such an epic disaster in every way all of this looks like a third-order scandal.
