How about when unions outsource picket lines to non-union, scab labor? That's always a good one.

Or how about when republican leadership Steven Mnuchin immorally foreclosed on thousands of people and lied under oath about it while running that slimeball IndyMac mortgage company?

This partisan ping ping is so lame.

It wasn't lame until I started posting a few examples.

How about when Bill Clinton was counseled for his extra marital affairs by Jesse Jackson, who was in the middle of an extra marital affair. That was a good one.

Jesse Jackson represented Bill Clinton??

Unions have a significant position in government?

Yayyyyy more partisan slumming, this will accomplish so much.

Why not summarize and save precious seconds of your life, people on all political sides make mistakes and we can back and forth for 1000 pages on this repub did this and this dem did that.

Why focus on political party, do you actually think one party is superior to another?

If so I guess I dont think there is much hope for you. Both parties are pigs at the corporate trough serving their owners...what flavor of slop they like really means nothing. Neither side is better, you just favor the slop that the ultra conservatives serve..

Democrats will win back Congress majority seat and White House in some day, that's how this democracy works. The "superior" GOP majority will get rotated by the people in some day, vice versa "inferior" Democrats.

The age of the daughter indicates Jackson, 59, was likely having the affair with Karin Stanford, a 39-year-old worker at his Rainbow/PUSH Coalition office in Washington, even as he counseled President Clinton after public revelations of an affair with Monica Lewinsky, an intern at the White House.

"He was really one of President Clinton's closest spiritual advisers and really friends through this whole ordeal," says ABCNEWS political analyst George Stephanopoulos. "He went to the White House and prayed with President Clinton. They got down on their knees, we heard, in the residence. He counseled Chelsea and Mrs. Clinton — really became a close friend to the family and they really bonded through this whole ordeal."

Calling Stephanopolous a political anylast is the same as calling Bannon a political anylast.

The word is political operatives.

Ahhhh, so you're saying that Jesse Jackson was a friend of Clinton and gave him advice which was hypocritical. I agree.

Although I don't think Jackson had a powerful role in government at the time.

What do you think about Gingrich? Wasn't he doing the same stuff?

Gingrich lied under oath, infront of a federal judge, committing perjury, which is a felony... for which normal people go to jail?

No... That was only Bill Clinton

Hook, line, sinker.

I knew you couldn't bring yourself to criticize him as he is a current Trump sheep.

This thread is about hypocrisy. You should know a lot about that.

On the TRUMP TRAIN, we don't blame Bill for cheating on Hillary. We all would have done the same thing.

From Jan. 20 to Sept. 19, the Trump administration authorized 77 military flights, while the Obama administration allowed 94 flights during the same time period, according to the stats.

Which administration do you think the media made a bigger fuss over?

Reports: Donald J Trump berated a very very fine man for two hours before fired him, so much to drain the Swamp.
