At this point, the American right seems to be primarily motivated by spite.

From smashing their Keurigs in solidarity with Sean Hannity to lying in dumpsters to wearing diapers, conservatives have been working overtime in their never-ending quest to own the libs. Their newest activity meant to trigger snowflakes? Drinking out of plastic straws.

Conservatives are the prime example of anti-social people. I still maintain that conservatism is a mental illness.

If even half of the accusations are legitimate, the current United States secretary of commerce could rank among the biggest grifters in American history. -Forbes

Forbes is out with a fascinating Tuesday read detailing allegations that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who the magazine estimates is worth around $700 million, engaged in a series of ruthless business practices prior to joining the Trump administration - including former employee David Storper who claims Ross "stole his interests in a private equity fund, transferred them to himself, then tried to cover it up with bogus paperwork," writes Forbes' Dan Alexander.

WASHINGTON—Saying he just wants to fit in with his colleagues, shy Rep. Harold Olsen confided to reporters Wednesday that he often feels left out of all the illegal activities going on in Congress and wishes his fellow lawmakers would include him in their crimes. “I see everyone around me committing these felonies—embezzlement, tax evasion, insider trading—and all I want is to join in and be a part of it,” said the bashful congressman from South Carolina, adding that he knows a lot about racketeering and wire fraud, as well as making false statements to federal investigators, and would thus have a lot to offer. “I saw a group of high-ranking congressmen chatting the other day, and I wanted to ask if I could join their money-laundering scheme, but I lost my nerve. It’s so intimidating to approach these guys because they’ve been committing crimes together for years, even decades. But I know if someone gave me a chance, I could prove I’m every bit as seedy as they are. I’ve been misusing public funds on my own for so long—imagine how much we could steal if we worked together!” Olsen added that maybe he could impress his colleagues by inviting them out on the boat he bought with campaign contributions.

A creature was actually drained from the swamp (no thanks to Trump).
GOP Rep. Chris Collins was just charged with insider trading
Collins was President Trump’s first congressional endorsement.
https://www.vox.com/2018/8/8/17663938/c ... erapeutics

A New York Republican Congress member who bragged about turning his friends and acquaintances into millionaires — and was one of President Trump’s earliest and biggest supporters — was just arrested and charged with insider trading.

Rep. Chris Collins, along with his son Cameron Collins and the father of his son’s fiancée, Stephen Zarsky, was arrested by FBI agents early Wednesday morning, according to NBC News. The case is centered on the Australia-based pharmaceutical company Innate Immunotherapeutics, a company in which Collins is currently the No. 2 shareholder. At one point, he held more than $45 million in Innate stock.

According to the federal government’s indictment, Collins shared non-public information about Innate — specifically, about negative results resulting from Innate’s clinical trials — with his son, who then passed that information along to Zarsky. The federal government alleges that by doing so, Collins, his son, and Zarsky were able to avoid nearly $800,000 in potential losses.

Collins’s connections with Innate Immunotherapeutics are well-known, with the Daily Beast reporting in 2017 that Collins had had close ties with the company since 2005. He encouraged many of his Republican colleagues to buy Innate stock, including former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price (in fact, claims of insider trading were leveled against Price during his confirmation hearing). According to Business Insider in June 2017:

Price bought shares of the company in 2015 and 2016 while still a member of the House, representing Georgia. At least four of Collins’ Republican House colleagues followed suit, buying into Innate in January when the company traded at an all-time high of about $1.20 per share. Collins’ chief of staff, Michael Hook, is among Innate’s top 20 shareholders, as are two of the congressman’s children.

“I talk about it at every turn, just like you talk about your kids hitting a home run and your daughter getting into law school,” Collins told The Hill ...

He even bragged publicly, and in front of reporters, about how many of his friends, colleagues, and donors he had made wealthy by recommending they invest in Innate.

Collins was the first member of Congress to endorse Donald Trump, doing so on February 24, 2016, and he served as the congressional liaison to the Trump transition team.
