I'm sure Trump voters are cool with their Republican representation de-powering the Ethics office, right?

How much power does Trump have in the senate/house/congress when he's not even POTUS yet?
Dylan Gutierrez
Are you familiar with a lame duck presidency?
Evan Green
I don't think Trump should really get any blame for this, however he did choose to campaign as a Republican, and this demonstrates what his party stands for.
If he doesn't make a big deal about this and stir up attention about it until the Republicans renege on their plans, he'll be doing himself a disservice. I'm not a fan of Trump but here's a good chance for him to show everyone that he's not full of shit.
Austin Garcia
They are scared of Trump. The Anti Corruption Campaign will start soon.

This is in line with his ideal and why he was voted in. Why would I be unhappy?
Sebastian Mitchell

The Fuhrer has spoken. There will be no 'ethics reform.' Those who agree with this bill may report to your nearest gas chamber for processing.
Any further shilling for gutting the independent ethics review board will be treated as Jewish shilling.
This has been a "What is Trump and Therefore Sup Forums's Position On This Issue" update. Heil Trump, Heil our People, Heil Victory.
Isaac Brooks
Equal parts Republican and Democrat, with a Republican as the chair.
Adrian Gray
Trump criticized them and they reversed it.
Alls well in the world

Profound words. Thanks for contributing.

After Backlash, Including From Trump, House GOP Drops Weakening Of Ethics Office n.pr

He basically said, "Don't you idiots have anything better to work on?"
They pissed their pants and ran.
Based Trump. #DTS

I vote EVERY single politician, ceo and person in a high position must get an FMRI and psychological analysis to prove they are not psychopaths, and to prove they are not sexually attracted to children, any who are must be disbanded from any position, and possibly executed.

What's the point of having an office that does nothing?
I read the thread, and I'm up to speed. Just look how Hillary took billions from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, against policy and her word. Nothing happened with a billion dollar bribe in front of the whole world.
So why have an office that does nothing?
Daniel Young
and trump called them out basically saying you fuckers have more important things to do they soon fell back in line

Hillary wasn't a member of Congress at that time, OCE couldn't have done anything to her even if they wanted to.
Luke Edwards
It means Congress wants to prevent anybody but Congress from investigating Congress for corruption.
What could possibly go wrong.
Owen Smith
>and trump called them out basically saying you fuckers have more important things to do they soon fell back in line
He literally said they should have done it when nobody was looking. He's a lying fucking faggot fudge packer like all Rpeublifags.
Dominic Cooper
considering they did it anticipating a no oversight clinton admin, yeah I'm fucking rapt.
Josiah Hall
>It means Congress wants to prevent anybody but Congress from investigating Congress for corruption.
Trump's presidency is the third term of Reagan alright. Most corrupt administration in US history.
Bentley Taylor
The ethics office was a complete failure. They cant be any worse by being free now.
Adrian Martinez
That's flat out wrong. Grant was by far more corrupt.
Caleb Diaz

This is already old news and they're not doing it anymore after Trump opposed this on twitter.
Jeremiah Reed
The GOP want their Reagan and probably at some point started thinking Trump is "close enough" despite being far more protectionist than Reagan ever was.

Even the GOP cuckservatives were gunning against Trunp back in the primaries and even some in the general. It's clear they are not in league with Trump and simply played nice after the election to ride his coattails.
Isaac King
Trump didn't oppose the vote. He opposed the optics and timing of the vote.
Hudson Parker
So... not indepandent.
Dylan Bennett
Trump just torpedoed this, so fuck off.
Jacob Long
Cool post, but tweets don't mean shit
Benjamin Mitchell
well the office was obviously useless wasn't it?
considering the state of our ethics, probably best just to be open and honest about our murder killing
Henry Bennett
>this demonstrates what his party stands for.
the republicans freed the slaves

Wyatt Perry
He's not President and you know it.
So do the Republicans, which is why they're doing this now.

You're two steps behind the news kiddo, Trump personally destroyed this bill with a single tweet.

>President-elect Donald Trump had criticised Republicans after they voted to strip the Office of Congressional Ethics of its independence.
"Focus on tax reform, healthcare and so many other things of far greater importance!" Mr Trump said in a tweet
>The proposal was dropped in an emergency meeting at the new Congress, unnamed lawmakers told the US media.
>Mr Trump made cleaning up corruption in Washington a key theme of his campaign, and he ended his tweet with "#DTS", an acronym for "drain the swamp".
>Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan had argued unsuccessfully against the vote but on Tuesday he defended the proposal.
"I want to make clear that this House will hold its members to the highest ethical standards and the Office will continue to operate independently to provide public accountability to Congress," he said.
>Donald Trump's tweets have teeth. The president-elect took to social media to express his displeasure with the move and within hours those legislative efforts were abandoned.
