We don't need no stinking ethics.

Image result for republicans ethics images  It's certainly nice to be back  home after my travels over the holidays.

That old saying that "there is no place like home" is ringing true right about now.

I have enjoyed blogging over the holidays, though. You field hands kept my company and made me feel like I didn't miss a beat.

Anyway, I saw a couple of  stories today that made me think of what a horrific few years we have to look forward to with the GOP in total control of things in Washington.

First, they tried to slip one by on us by gutting the ethics office which acts as an independent watchdog whose job it is to oversee them.

They did it behind closed doors, which was kind of to be expected. Burglars and thieves usually strike when no one is watching. Donald is going to just love this bunch. The party has already started down in South Florida in anticipation of things to come, and Donald and his shady business partners are rubbing their little fingers together.

Jump in the swamp, fellows, the water is fine.

Speaking of water, four children lost their lives tragically in Texas when water in their home mixed with a  pesticide to form a deadly gas.

Folks, incidents like this will  become more frequent but with the same deadly consequences if the republicans had their way and do away with the EPA and other regulatory agencies so that their big business pals can do as they please with our safety and the environment.

"Davis told the Amarillo Globe-News he wasn't sure how long the residents had been exposed to the phosphine gas before a visitor arrived Monday and found everyone sick and called 911. Phosphine gas can cause respiratory failure and in severe cases can cause a pulmonary edema, which fills the lungs full of fluid, he said.[Source]

Update:

The GOP has backed off  their initial plans to gut the ethics watchdog committee. It's nice to see that they came to their senses. But I don't expect that this will last. As soon as the spotlight leaves they will be back to their old tricks.

  1. Texas has extremely lax, regulations (like non-existing lax) regarding chemicals and pesticides, nukular waste disposal, etc. Former Texas Guv Gay Perry- the one in Texas, not France, Europe sold commissioner chairs to highest campaign contributors, regardless of qualifications.

    Also, too still yet, if you sued a Texas korporation and by some miracle actually got a court date, the trial was in the korporations home town so they could have a friendly jury. No deck stacking with wingnuts.

  12. Trump's tweet took issue with the timing not the substance. All he knows how to do is try to look good, to build his "brand". When he does Meet the Press, when the taping is done he makes them show it back to him with the sound turned off, so he can concentrate on how he looked. He's a narcissistic little creep.
    Republicans always try to gut ethics rules when they get majorities. They did it the last time they gained majorities, and the result was so horrific that the incoming Democrats instituted the OCE to try and do something about the Abramoff/DeLay/Ney/Cunningham/Foley rat's nest.
    So of course the Republicans hate it, even though it has been mostly non-partisan and caught some crooked Democrats as well (remember William Jefferson?)
    But, really, ethics sort of cramp Republicans' style, so who needs an independent watchdog, they can police themselves!
    I'm not sure what Trump thinks to be "unfair" about the OCE, but damn guys, you're making me look bad by doing this right now, why don't you go gut some poor people first, that's all on the up-and-up, we cam deal with ethics later when everyone's too distracted by the gaping holes in their lives to notice.

    Trump appears happy to let congressional Republicans take the heat for the moment and be forced to delay, though not abandon, their plan to get rid of the corruption watchdog in order to enable yet another GOP crime spree.

    Why? Well, maybe it will take the heat OFF Crooked Donald's misbehavior, since the media recently spotted Donald hanging with his mobster buddy "Joey No Socks" (gotta love those mafia nicknames).

    "Lilacpr-where you been? In Texas. Pennsylvania and other states where fracking is allowed, the chemicals used (trade secrets prevent people from finding out what poisons their water) can cause the tap water to burn with flames and everything."

    This is questionable. I saw Josh Fox's fracking documentary, which was useful in calling attention to the unregulated nature of the fracking industry, but which contains very little hard science that could allow a person to evaluate the level of pollution risk associated with fracking.

    In the movie, one or two people living near fracking sites did indeed end up with flammable tap water (these are rural people drawing their water from wells, not a municipal water supply). Environmental experts say that, most likely, their water is not contaminated with fracking fluid but the natural gas derived from fracking. If a fracking well isn't sealed correctly, methane can be forced into the earth surrounding the well on its way to the surface and dissolve in the groundwater, rendering it flammable.

    This wouldn't make the water poisonous, but it's certainly disturbing. And, I would assume, dangerous, just because ... flammable tap water.

    I should also point out that methane in tap water doesn't have to come from fracking, either. It can result from natural bacterial fermentation processes in the soil in some areas.

    This was one of the controversies that swirled around that documentary, in that it isn't even proven that fracking was the cause of these people flaming tap water.

  23. M of T - I don't recall any of these problems happening before fracking was allowed. As for fracking chemicals, since their names are not available to the public or public health services, one can hardly be sure they aren't a part of the problem.

    How imagine the possible problems with large CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations) that have pits underneath them full of methane gas. Several people have died from limited exposure inside the pits w/o respirators. That gas gets vented into the environment.

  26. Hazards of Methane
    in Water Wells
    Methane gas may migrate through underground geologic
    formations and be transported by ground water in
    dissolved or pure gaseous states. Methane generally
    migrates from areas of high pressure to areas of lower
    pressure. Methane in groundwater is not explosive; however,
    when water containing dissolved methane comes
    into contact with air, the methane quickly escapes from
    the water into the atmosphere. If this occurs in a confined
    space, the methane could ignite at concentrations
    between 5 and 15 percent, and result in an explosion. A
    nearby electrical outlet, pilot light, well pump, or a match
    can be the source for the ignition.

    Hard to say how prevalent the problem of methane in tap water is now. Again, that documentary wasn't a scientific study. Fox founds some people who had contaminated water and pointed them out, but how many are there?

    But yes, the industry is not sufficiently regulated, and it's insane that they are allowed to pump chemicals into the ground and not disclose which chemicals specifically on the grounds their formulas are "proprietary." That's not acceptable.

    "Hazards of Methane
    in Water Wells"


    Yup. I definitely wouldn't want flammable stuff pumped into my house. There are some risks associated with having to deal with well water, fracking or no fracking.

    It's usually better to be on a municipal supply (unless you happen to live in Flint, Michigan, where a penny-pinching emergency manager thinks saving rich taxpayers a few bucks is infinitely more important than poor people's health).

    Ridiculous. As if frackig would be allowed if things like this really happened.

    Methane is naturally occurring, and there have been a handful of cases over the last century where gas has migrated into someone's water well and come out their tap, but this has nothing to do with modern fracking operations.

    The industry has also claimed that not a drop of their secret chemicals leeches into the water systems. It all flows back into the pipe for proper disposal.

    If fracking can force methane to migrate to lower pressure points, what's to stop the toxic chemicals from doing the same?

    No proof has been presented to the public. Even the CIA has not said they have definitive proof. This is a political hack job by Democrats and their politcal operatives in the CIA, allied with GOP establishment figures who still oppose Trump, the purpose of which is to cast in doubt the legitmacy of the election and to gain leverage in determining foreign policy decisions in order to advance the continuation of the Clinton/Bush/Obama neocon agenda of forcing globalism on the nations of the world and furthering Israel's interests.

    Trump represents the interests of the American people, who want no war with Russia, no more endless wars in the Middle East for Israel, and no more meddling with the internal affairs of sovereign nations.

    Lilac, I urge you to look into this topic independently, far away from white corporate media, or partisans on this blog who cannot illustrate they have even a rudimentary understanding of middle-school science, even when challenged and given ample opportunity.

    You seem like one of the few people here who have sense. Naturally occurring methane gas in ground water has been a phenomenon in America for as long as we've tapped ground water. The "fire water" thing is not from fracking. In fact, it's because of water catching on fire that scientists knew to examine the grounds for gas. It's not a chicken or egg, either; we know which came first. Water with methane in it has always been around. Fracking is a result of this awesome observation.

    Fossil fuel companies are responsible for a lot. Tanker spills, oil pipes burst in the ocean, well fires, etc. The business is dirty and needs to be better handled. But this "fire water" bit is like Al Gore's polar bear propaganda.

  54. People with a reasonable amount of trust in social and governmental institutions were far less motivated to accept such theories. The study’s authors asked approximately 2,200 Americans who self-identified as either liberal or conservative to consider eight conspiracies. Four were designed to appeal to conservatives and four to appeal to liberals (for example, respectively, Obama was not born in the U.S. and the Bush Administration knew about 9/11 before it happened). The authors also created a “trust index” based on how much the individuals trusted the federal government, law enforcement, media and the public to do what is right.

    Here were some of their conclusions:

    Conservatives are more likely to endorse ideologically congruent conspiracies than liberals.
    Individuals with a high level of trust in institutions are less likely to endorse conspiracy theories.
    Conservatives knowledgeable about politics are more likely to endorse ideologically congruent conspiracy theories. There is no evidence of a similar correlation among liberals.
    Conservatives knowledgeable about politics who also have little trust in institutions are most associated with endorsement of ideologically consistent conspiracy theories: “Highly knowledgeable conservatives are more likely to engage in ideologically motivated endorsement, especially if they believe that the world is an untrustworthy place.”
    For liberals, greater knowledge about politics and greater trust in institutions both appear to decrease their tendency to endorse conspiracy theories.

    What a damn mess in Arkansas. It seems that some Republican members of the State House and the State Senate conspired to dump a ton of money on rightwing Christian colleges in the state. For about $600,000 of taxpayer money to tiny Ecclesia College in Springdale, Arkansas, the Republican politicians got about $38,000 each in kickbacks.

    On the Board of Ecclesia college is David Barton, key advisor to Donald Trump, and major contributor to Louie Gohmert. There is even a David Barton School of Political Science at the college. Bribery 101 is a required course.

    The Republican House Member, Micah Neal, pled guilty today and faces 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine

    Assange said it wasn't the Russians or Putin!

    You know the Democrat party has hit rock bottom when it is so obvious that the KGB is telling the truth and the DNC is lying.

    The name of the woman who posted the video of the kidnapping to her Facebook page is Brittany Herring.

    If this was any other race it would be 24/7 live coverage. Disgusting media we have!

    The fact that the media broadcasts hoaxes when they're blamed on Trump but downplays this is sick.

  67. The only sites with any shit about Black lives matter are racist, white supremacist sites. Why is that? Cernobitch, Pamela Geller, Maga, WND etc. All perfectly responsible, even handed in their repior.... who the hell am I kidding?

  69. If the kidnapping was a racist white hate crime, why didn't those thugs say fuck Clinton?

  70. Racists called the civil rights movement communism influenced and unamerican.

    So no surprises here as to what they're trying to use to bring BLM down, doing so takes the spotlight off Sessions' mulatto ancestry having ass.

  71. Holding the CRM and BLM up as equal just proves the retard is too strong in some people.

    CRM was needed because there actually were laws and institutions discriminating.

    BLM claims that it's open season on blacks being shot by white police but can't even be honest about the statistics, which do not back them up.

    CRM activists practiced civil disobedience and were peaceful for the most part.

    BLM rioters chant for dead police, go out and murder police, and burn down and riot and steal and loot every fucking chance they get.

    CRM folks rallied around decent people.

    BLM folks rally around thugs and hoods that try to kill police.

    CRM dealt with real issues.

    BLM is on some made-up shits.

    BLM is pretending to be the CRM. It's LARPing. All these progressive leftists today are live-acting role-players. They all have their cause. They all have their fake characters interacting in their fake universes, and so they create a fake enemy and put on their fake uniforms and bellow out their fake chants. From the faggot-ass 95-gendered queersacks to the extra crispies pretending America is against them after it gave them undeserved placement in college and money to get in, the entire progressive culture today is about LARPing.

    It's only make-believe.

  73. LOL

    You know it's a pitiful day for the phony aesthetic of "only whites are racist" when the only silver lining Yishag can find with four blacks kidnapping and torturing a white person, for being white, is that there's no apparent connection to Black Lives Matter. LMFAO!

    Would it matter if there were? Y'all would be spinning the same yarn Muslim apologists do. BLM is a religion of peace! Just read the website! No, those people burning cities, beating whites and murdering police are not part of BLM! They're reading the Quran wron-- umm, I mean, they're doing it wrong.

  74. "When Josh says it isn't true, it is true"

    When your only knowledge about fracking comes from a liberal blog that uses a snippet of a fake documentary, you really have to be a shameless twat to dare speak up on the issue.

    But, please, as I urge EVERYONE: Don't take my fucking word for it. The Internet can find more for you than just tranny porn.

    https://www.bing.com/search?q=methane+in+groundwater&pc=MOZI&form=MOZSBR

    The links to actual scientific articles explaining this well-known phenomenon are in large abundance. Fracking being responsible for this has been debunked more times than the Kennedy magic bullet.

    You're another one, along with Yiscunt and Random, who pretend to know about these sorts of issues but couldn't explain middle-school-level science if your life depended on it. Even with the Internet right there, y'all are too stone-fucking-stupid to figure out how to research something. If it isn't fed to you in partisan snippets, like little children, it doesn't exist.

    Don't lash out at other people for your stupidity. Maybe it's laziness; maybe it's poor genetics. Whatever the case, it's no one else's fault. You can at least TRY to learn.
