Top Treasury Lawyer Resigns After Creation of Slush Fund

Brian Morrissey, the Treasury's general counsel, resigned from the position seven months after he was confirmed to it by the Senate and just hours after the Trump administration announced the fund on Monday.

Looting the public treasury still bothers some people.

Who knew?

Not to be a nudge, but this takes me right back to the first and most confusing thing about GOP/MAGA---The absolutely don't care when they are stolen from.

This not only contradicts what I used to understand as being conservative values, it contradicts what I used to understand as being ordinary human nature.

So where did I go wrong? GOP/MAGA was never conservative? Never human?

But I note that this special strain of craziness continues right up until this moment. If there are any MAGA here pissed off about Trump looting their public treasury I haven't seen them.

And so I extend an open invitation. This is a clear chance for anyone to get back on the side of conventional sanity.

It will feel good. trust me.
