I need a scorecard to keep track of all this winning.
how is this a Trump win? Striping is was a good idea. The dems cried about it. Did the gop cave to the dems? that is the way i read this.
Mr President-Elect, I can’t take all this WINNING! Please, take it easy ... hehehe
Who are the people that led this effort?
Good for Trump. The stupid party remains stupid. There are arguments why these ethics changes needed to be made, but the GOP handled it terribly and did attempt to make the changes in the night. They have handed Pelosi and the rest of the Rats a golden freebee to bash the Republicans.
Trump is the most masterful strategist this Republic has seen since Washington.
Whilst the Rats on the hill are barely able to concentrate beyond their next meal, Trump is thinking in strategic terms - 1, 2, 8 or even 50 years from now.
The man is far ahead of any politicians we have ever seen.
Ugh, for once the GOP actually got something right and was axing a useless block for investigating corruption, and now it is back. Oh well, more employment for relatives of those who are sitting in congress.
If so, I understand his reaction. However I suspect there is a Dem plot in the works to ABUSE this redundant ethics committee --which allowed the filing of anonymous complaints from the public-- to tie innocent Republicans in knots.
Remember how they used something similar to take Sarah Palin out of office? This is how it worked: Dem operatives filed hundreds of ethics complaints against Gov Palin. ALL frivolous, of course. But the effect was to keep Palin preoccupied with defending herself. And she was not allowed to use gov't funds to do so.
That was the real reason that Sarah Palin --a good, competent and ethical governor-- had to choose to resign. The so-called ethics process kept her from being able to do her job.
I think a similar abuse of process is being planned by Dems in Congress. Hence the Repubs' attempt to reform the process.
For once I disagree w/Trump and agree with the original action of the House Republicans. This “nonpartisan” ethics committee was a Nancy Pelosi construct. Need more be said?
I wouldn’t be surprised if this was planned and this was all theater. You have to know which battles to pick and when
I’m sure there are problems with it, but the optics of getting rid of an ethics panel behind closed doors after a drain the swamp election just doesn’t look good.
Laura Ingraham had Marsha Blackburn (Rino-Tennessee) on her show this morning. Laura ripped into Blackburn regarding this. Blackburn sounded a bit uncomfortable with Laura’s pointed remarks regarding draining the swamp.
Hot Diggity!
DJT scores again.
Kevin McCarthy thinks he’s running things. Looks like a proper schlonging to me.
I have read that this office is what’s used to keep the conservatives toeing the Ryan line. I think there was more to this move than it seems.
You go, Trump!
The optics were horible it should have been stripped
Congressional ethics? Now there’s an oxymoron if ever there was one.
Another Trump Win!
