    What are they going to do when Trump is gone? I'm sure they'll manufacture some other bogeyman.

    Sounds a lot like Carbon Credits Al Gore all over again.

    I guess what we need are more Government/Business Green Energy Partnerships and even more corruption we can fund with our tax dollars?

    I smelled Bull$#@! so I looked it up.

    In her confirmation hearing she admitted her family donated as estimated $200 Million to Republicans. And even if specific donations were made to the Trump Campaign that money is controlled use not a personal bribe. Of course Republicans do tend to promote big donors to positions in government as do Democrats. I don't think that is ethical, but is not the same as taking a bribe that becomes your personal money to do with as you please.

    Amway is where the DeVoses make their money. Amway is as close to a pyramid scheme as it can be. Of course they donate to the GOP: they don't want to be investigated.

    The Democrats can't investigate them?

    They may now when they learn about donations to the GOP.
