Did a GOP State Rep’s Post Attacking a Colleague Violate Legislative Policy?

A Republican state representative may have violated the legislature’s workplace conduct policy when he personally attacked a Democratic colleague in a public Facebook post endorsing the Democrat’s GOP challenger. On June 15th, in a poststate Rep. Scott Slaugh (R-Johnstown) called fellow legislator Sen. Tom Sullivan (D-Aurora) an “idiot, mentally incompetent and unstable.” The insults were part of Slaugh’s endorsement of Sullivan’s likely opponent, Danielle Lammon, who is leading her primary bid to become the GOP nominee for SD27.

Watergate Today as a Blip of a Story? Vance Might Not Be Entirely Wrong.

Vice President JD Vance, who once mused that Donald J. Trump might be a “cynical [expletive deleted]” like Richard M. Nixon, is now embracing a rosier comparison of the two presidents that is both ahistoric and, perhaps inadvertently, bracingly truthful. Speaking on Thursday at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, Calif., Mr. Vance []

JD Vance Tries To Defend Trump With Nixon — And Only Makes It Worse

JD Vance's own corruption was on display when he told an interviewer at the Richard Nixon Foundation that in today's world, if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12-hour news story. That says it all. The former president was humiliated and exposed attempting to bug the Democratic National Committee’s offices in the Watergate Hotel. He also made slush fund payments and authorized the break-in of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office when he released the Pentagon Papers. This is but a few of his crimes. If we view it from the lens of Trump's two presidencies, they pale in comparison. If it were 1972, and Nixon had incited an insurrection at the US Capitol to stay in office after losing an election, Republicans would have impeached him swiftly and most likely put him in jail.read more
