McConnell Refuses Vote On Ethics Reform

[Dragonlady]

Of course he did. Republicans don't need no stinking ethics.

Ha, after the Smollett fiasco I'm amazed that the dems even mention the words "ethics" or "Law" without their tongues turning to fire. The dems call "vote harvesting" voting rights.

GOP Politics as usual...yea

how so? what did the dems give into to get them this vote on the floor? Kavanaugh? all but one said no, healthcare? all dems voted no. border wall? nope all dems told the pres to shove it. now you think because of those graceful compromises we should give them what they want? are you truly that fking stupid?

One would think that you would want ethics in government. But then you're a Russian troll so of course you don't want honest people in government. Republicans would be hard pressed to find anyone honest to run on the down ticket with Trump.

Every Senate Democrat Backs Sweeping Campaign Finance, Voting Rights and Ethics Reform Bill | HuffPost

Instead of voting on things that matter...things that can actually pass...McConnell put an unfinished Green New Deal Bill on the floor of the Senate yesterday. Complete with the Idiot Mike Lee holding up cartoon posters of Reagan on a dinosaur (huh?)

Because...who needs ethics in government

It's really just gotcyah. McConnell has killed what Reid left of bipartisan statesmanship. It won't get better till he's gone and is replaced with someone who really wants to work bipartisan to do something about reducing the cost of entitlements.

Anything Schumer puts out is purely for show. I told you ALL politics are show.

Grow up

Well the dems' concern with Schumer two years ago was that he was ready to make a deal with Trump, but you're right there's no chance of that now.

The irony is that gopers who would do deals like McCain and the pre-Trump Graham and even Hatch complained that Obama froze them out on HC, and he did. Nothing short of universal care was good enough, and in the end he lost both compromise and universal HC. And we had six years of McConnell being the Turtle.

Now the gop has done the same thing.

Ballot harvesting bounty: How Dems apparently used election law change to rout California Republicans

Ballot harvesting was the tactic that the GOP used in North Carolina and it ended up forcing the election to be scrapped

Let us NOT forget.............

Back in January, 2017 House Republicans, meeting in a secret session, voted to curtail the powers of the Office of Congressional Ethics, an independent body created in 2008 after a series of scandals involving House lawmakers, including three who were sent to jail.

House Republicans, led by scum bucket, Robert Goodlatte of Virginia, had sought to prevent the office from pursuing investigations that might result in criminal charges.

It is rather simple as to the WHY the turtle-necked McConnell considers ETHICS an anathema.....

When comparing criminal indictments of those serving in the executive
branch of presidential administrations, it’s so lopsided as to be
ridiculous. ...................Of course, the Trump administration will BREAK ALL RECORDS on ethics and corruption.

Obama (D) – 8 yrs in office. Zero criminal indictments, zero
convictions and zero prison sentences. So the next time somebody
describes the Obama administration as “scandal free” they aren’t
speaking wishfully, they’re simply telling the truth.

Bush, George W. (R) – 8 yrs in office. 16 criminal indictments. 16
convictions. 9 prison sentences.

Clinton (D) – 8 yrs in office. 2 criminal indictments. One conviction.
One prison sentence. That’s right nearly 8 yrs of investigations. Tens
of millions spent and 30 yrs of claiming them the most corrupt ever
and there was exactly one person convicted of a crime.

Bush, George H. W. (R) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment. One
conviction. One prison sentence.

Reagan (R) – 8 yrs in office. 26 criminal indictments. 16 convictions.
8 prison sentences.

Carter (D) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment. Zero convictions and
zero prison sentences.

Ford (R) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment and one conviction. One
prison sentence.

Nixon (R) – 6 yrs in office. 76 criminal indictments. 55 convictions.
15 prison sentences.

Johnson (D) – 5 yrs in office. Zero indictments. Zero convictions.
Zero prison sentences.

How many people have you seen defending Smollett since the facts came out, dumb ass?

Duh, his record is "spotless", all charges were dropped, he's not in jail when anyone else would be. Here's hoping the Fed charges stick, and Kim Foxx gets indicted too. The Chicago cops are really pissed at the dems. Not a good example of "ethics", huh? Smollett doesn't need defending, he's free...for a little while anyway.

Dems didn't let him off. One misguided person did. Are you saying Rohm Emanuel, who is pretty pissed as well, is mad at Dems for dropping the charges?

Kind of amusing given Harry Reid did the exact same type of stuff when he was Senate Majority leader.

Is this an OPEN admission that McConnell and Reid are scum buckets???

Of these two, who is currently in office???
