Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) questioned the credibility of the U.S. Supreme Court Sunday — while suggesting that sweeping reforms could be imminent.
I worked for a city government in sewer automation inspections and I wouldn’t take a coffee from contractors because I wanted it crystal clear who I worked for. We can be friendly but if you go off spec then that’s the end of the conversation.
Conservatives have a very… interesting idea of what morality is, which is more than a bit ironic considering they see themselves as extremely moral and “good” people
A while back, evolution was under attack, I think it still is … regardless … Kenneth Miller talks about the root of these in his take down of intelligent design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohd5uqzlwsU&t=509s
Was he from the Navy or from the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps? We have had a couple of FDA auditors from the USHSCC and they were former Naval officers working on a second retirement. They were nice enough when you prove you are open but they absolutely will not accept anything but water. Maybe coffee.
We expect scandal and fraud from our elected officials. That’s why they do it so brazenly and in the open. They know the people have no power because the system is rigged; especially if you’re a Republican.
Edit: Why the downvotes? Tell me where I’m wrong. Our elected officials choose judges, so it’s the same pool of corruption.
I am well aware. But who selects those judges? Who is supposed to check and balance those judges? OMG, it’s our elected officials! You’re not contributing and just making asinine comments.
I guess but we’re literally talking about the judges specifically in this thread who currently have lifetime appointments and no enforceable ethics code sooo
The system is rigged by and for Republicans. We’ve repeatedly seen them break the rules, ethics, and the law with no repercussions. They have destroyed, from the inside, the checks and balances that governed elected officials. Look at Trump for the shining star of open corruption with full court Republican deflection.

How the fuck this was ever allowed is shocking.

When your mindset is that everything you do is good and everything everyone else does is bad, it’s pretty easy to be a good person.
This is it entirely, good people do good things, and they determine if they’re good people by how much they agree with them.
They have the whole thing backwards; normal people determine if someone is good by the morality of their behavior, and they can’t comprehend this.

We had a guy from the Navy come to our shop to inspect our product. He wouldn’t even let me go grab him a burger from McDonald’s.

LOL, no, he stopped his inspection and went to McD’s with me and saved a receipt for his cheeseburger.

I don’t expect that, and I don’t let apathy and defeat prevent me from participating in the process.
I usually hear “everyone is corrupt” from the people who’s “guy” happens to have been found to be corrupt.
Kind of like saying “everyone steals office supplies” or “everyone cheats on their wife” - says a lot about one’s character.
I don’t know if you know this but the supreme court isn’t elected.

You’re almost getting it! And why is there no enforced ethics code? Because our ELECTED OFFICIALS refuse to make one!
What do you mean by “especially if you’re a Republican”?
