Kellyanne Conway says filing ethics disclosure forms is "demoralizing"

During a Thursday morning Fox & Friends interview, White House adviser Kellyanne Conway said the financial disclosure process is “demoralizing” and discourages “qualified” people from taking jobs in the White House.

Conway also lamented “the paperwork that (they] have to put forward divesting assets” and “the different hoops (they] are to run through.”

There's a reason why disclosure forms are required. Government is by all the people, for all the people, and not just for a very limited few. Disclosures prevent conflict of interest, for it allows totally unbiased facts to actually shape legislation (sorry for soapbox, we all know this...

the cracks in tRUMPland are getting wider and WIDER.

tRUMPlanders are sinking deeper and deeper into the very swamp they themselves vowed to drain, instead, they opened the floodgates even more, and are trying to drag everyone else along, into the swamp they've made worst.

Not a lot of people want to work for someone who's not really interested in anyone else but themselves.

Hang in there fellow DUers...be smart, be diligent and always be ready to punch back 10 times harder, with the truth, and our votes/protests. These things (votes/protests) are the healthy signs of our democracy...not tRUMP.

I think we all remember the devil-may-care la-de-da attitude Republicans adopted during the Clinton and Obama administrations, and how any near-lapses in ethics disclosure were glossed over with a shrug and an "everybody does it, totally understandable, and the standards are so high and ever-changing, who can keep track of it all." No harm, no foul, yanno?
