Perhaps you can link me up to where Nancy Pelosi prevented anyone from fucking reading the bill.

Besides, it's a moot point now moron.
There is absolutely zero justification for the crazy notion that we don't need stronger emphasis on ethics in congress.Another idiot who doesn't know the Office of Congressional EthicsEthics watchdog??? give me a break. Were they asleep during Hillary's reign at the state dept? Ethics watchdog, they are just a democrat attack dog.
deals exclusively with House of Representative members and their staff.
That's exactly the point. They say by and did nothing. They are a waste of taxpayer dollars and need to be gotten rid of.
I would agree that it is too weak.
But, killing what we have before we have something better is just plain stupid.
It's a moot point now as the GOP in Congress has decided not to do it afterTrump scolded them.
You're dumber than a box of rocks.WASHINGTON ― As one of their first actions in the new Congress, House Republicans are planning to significantly change the Office of Congressional Ethics, removing the entity’s independence, barring it from investigating anonymous complaints and even changing the group’s name.
Less than 24 hours before the House convenes and votes on its rules for the 115th Congress, Republicans adopted an amendment Monday night, 119 to 74, from Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) that would fundamentally change the OCE. The independent ethics board investigates complaints against members and issues reports to the Ethics Committee.
Specifically, the amendment would place the OCE under the “oversight” of the lenient Ethics Committee and rename it the Office of Congressional Complaint Review. The new group would no longer be able to release information to the public, employ anyone “for a position involving communications with the public,” or directly contact law enforcement without approval. It would also be prohibited from investigating anonymous complaints.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the change would “functionally destroy” the office.
“Republicans claim they want to ‘drain the swamp,’ but the night before the new Congress gets sworn in, the House GOP has eliminated the only independent ethics oversight of their actions,” Pelosi said. “Evidently, ethics are the first casualty of the new Republican Congress.”

Yep, it's no surprise that "ethics" would be the first casualty of the new Republican Congress. They are not only not draining the swamp - they are trying to hide the swamp. More governance behind closed doors - without releasing information to the public.
Perhaps this does.Yeah you said "neocons". That isn't addressing the actual issue.All of those scandals are bedsides the point. We both know you're too much a pussy to admit the GOP are a bunch of scumbags. You would rather deflect to shit about democratsYou people reason like children. The obvious point is that republicans are dissolving the committee because they are corrupt pieces of shit. Let's pretend you're right and the committee hasn't been holding enough people accountable for their actions. The solution isn't to be defeatist pussies and get rid of it. You fix what's wrong with it. You find out what the flaws are and fix them. That's what problem solving means.Where was this alleged ethics committee when Fast and Furious was going on? Lois Lerner and the IRS scandal? How about the fact that the Barrypuppet admin went after whistle blowers with a vengeance??? During the Benghazi scandal CIA operatives were given lie detector tests weekly to see if they were leaking details into how the extremists were able to lift surface to air missiles in Libya that would be used in Syria....how Scott Bennett was persecuted for doing the job he was being asked to do concerning the financing of ISIS/al qaeda...they never figured out that he could actually do it.
What about the Wikileaks revelations showing how Hitlery's private server had been hacked? How the DNC worked to make sure that Bernie Sanders wasn't the nominee? How the DNC and NGOs were sending out paid operatives to disrupt Trump rallies with their paid of media to cover it? Project Veritas that had moles within the DNC validating the Wikileaks e-mails???? There is no oversight at all......none, nada, zero...zilch.
I think you ass clowns will say anything to defend the actions of the GOP. You're such sheep.
The neocons are just as corrupt as the fabian socilaist left and I notice that you couldn't address anything that I brought up because in YOUR world? Leftard = good....end justifies the means.......so blow it out of your ass.
Ummmm, I mentioned the neocons......you ignored that just like you ignore the scandals of the leftard clown posse........you seem to be fine with thje scandals of the Barrypuppet but yet you are wringing your hands about scandals that have yet to happen...why is that?????
ROFLMBO.There is absolutely zero justification for the crazy notion that we don't need stronger emphasis on ethics in congress.Another idiot who doesn't know the Office of Congressional EthicsEthics watchdog??? give me a break.

Moot point ? The fact that the first thing they tried to do after the election is to depower ethics watchdogs is just something to glance over!?
Of all the issues out there , that's why gets them off their ass to vote on. Late at night too.
Shows you what shady fucks the GOP are . Also shows you that it's not going to be all smiles n sunshine wh The Donald .
Time to take that rocket billy billy billy.It's such typical scum bag bullshit you can expect from the GOP. Of course republicans responding to this thread will only deflect and start bitching about democrats.
But you are. LOLName one accomplishment they have to justify their existence.I repeat from the OP:
Specifically, the amendment would place the OCE under the “oversight” of the lenient Ethics Committee and rename it the Office of Congressional Complaint Review. The new group would no longer be able to release information to the public, employ anyone “for a position involving communications with the public,” or directly contact law enforcement without approval. It would also be prohibited from investigating anonymous complaints.
Game over.
Even you can't really be that dumb.
Investigations – Office of Congressional Ethics
Ever see the movie Church Ball.According to the news it's not as.independent as it's made out.,,.........Perhaps some discussion of its performance might be in order
Hillary is history. You saw much conflict with her foundation right? So do you see conflict with Trump now or not?So you saw no conflicts with Hillary>sos>clinton foundation.
Could be.Hillary is history. You saw much conflict with her foundation right? So do you see conflict with Trump now or not?So you saw no conflicts with Hillary>sos>clinton foundation.
Were'nt you arguing FOR it before the news Trump bashed it?The Republicans did embarrass themselves on this one. Trump ripped them hard. The timing was horrendous. But the Republican Party has had very poor leadership for years. So this isn't surprising. Establishment wankers.
Are you interested in finding out about it?Could be.
The attitude that put Trump into office was,
we don't care." The alternative is worse.
I suppose with all the enemies Trump has he will be attacked insensitley
Trumps foundation has come under scrutiny. But I don't know anything about it.
See there is a fundamental difference between what this one caucus said and what republicans want. See what this democratic caucus in 2010 said is that they wanted to curtail its power. They didn't want to get rid of it entirely. I even said before that of the office has flaws, you fix them. You don't get rid of the whole committee. Repubs on the other hands are corrupt assholes who think there should be no oversight whatsoever.Time to take that rocket billy billy billy.It's such typical scum bag bullshit you can expect from the GOP. Of course republicans responding to this thread will only deflect and start bitching about democrats.
Lawmakers seek to gut ethics office
No, never heard of it. Who stars in it?Ever see the movie Church Ball.
Pretty funny.
That's exactly why I've been predicting that this will be the Bush 3.0 Administration. More corruption, more power, more smarter, more ruthless. More, more, more.See there is a fundamental difference between what this one caucus said and what republicans want. See what this democratic caucus in 2010 said is that they wanted to curtail its power. They didn't want to get rid of it entirely. I even said before that of the office has flaws, you fix them.

Gary Coleman. That's why I posted it.No, never heard of it. Who stars in it?Ever see the movie Church Ball.
Pretty funny.
I loved the Canonball Run, even the sequel. Is it anything like that?
