li'l t knows that Trump is going to be a ****ing disaster, so he won't stick his neck out. Bush taught him a lesson.
It is the height of hypocrisy for Hillary supporters to call Trump a liar. Fact. Your point about defending Trump is irrelevant to this.
No it isn't when Trump objectively lied more than Clinton during the campaign. If you believe in gravity than you would have to believe that Trump lied more.
What Bigtexxx is saying is that, Trump can do anything he wants, he can grab bigtexxx's p***y even and bigtexxx will be happy. If Trump wants to put anyone who disagrees with him in jail, Bigtexxx says, yeah! Grab my p***y! If Trump wants to give Putin access to every corporate secret - bigtexxx is, thank you Trump for grabbing my p***y! Can you do it again please! Do you see how this works?
hahaha I'm loving the complete meltdown by Sweet Lou and dmoneybangbang! They're flailing uncontrollably. Boys, take a break to gather yourself.
Do you have your dick out? Its disturbing how aroused you seem to get. Sweet Lou and he N-word must hold some deep places in your heart tbh..
Consider the swamp drained. House GOP votes to gut independent ethics office WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans on Monday voted to eviscerate the Office of Congressional Ethics, the independent body created in 2008 to investigate allegations of misconduct by lawmakers after several bribery and corruption scandals sent members to prison. The ethics change, which prompted an outcry from Democrats and government watchdog groups, is part of a rules package that the full House will vote on Tuesday. The package also includes a means for Republican leaders to punish lawmakers if there is a repeat of the Democratic sit-in last summer over gun control. Under the ethics change pushed by Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., the non-partisan Office of Congressional Ethics would fall under the control of the House Ethics Committee, which is run by lawmakers. It would be known as the Office of Congressional Complaint Review, and the rule change would require that "any matter that may involve a violation of criminal law must be referred to the Committee on Ethics for potential referral to law enforcement agencies after an affirmative vote by the members," according to Goodlatte's office. Lawmakers would have the final say under the change. House Republicans voted 119-74 for the Goodlatte measure despite arguments from Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., against the change. They failed to sway rank-and-file Republicans, some of whom have felt unfairly targeted by the OCE. "The amendment builds upon and strengthens the existing Office of Congressional Ethics by maintaining its primary area of focus of accepting and reviewing complaints from the public and referring them, if appropriate, to the Committee on Ethics," Goodlatte said in a statement. Democrats, led by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, reacted angrily. "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," the California lawmaker said in a statement. "Evidently, ethics are the first casualty of the new Republican Congress." Chris Carson, president of the League of Women Voters, said Ryan should be ashamed of himself and his leadership team. "We all know the so-called House Ethics Committee is worthless for anything other than a whitewash — sweeping corruption under the rug. That's why the independent Office of Congressional Ethics has been so important. The OCE works to stop corruption and that's why Speaker Ryan is cutting its authority. Speaker Ryan is giving a green light to congressional corruption." The OCE was created in March 2008 after the cases of former Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif., who served more than seven years in prison on bribery and other charges; as well as cases of former Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, who was charged in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal and pleaded guilty to corruption charges and former Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., convicted on corruption in a separate case. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/a349ef57fb6b4b4f82809b3c7b0d4c68/house-gop-votes-gut-independent-ethics-office
Poor Texx. He can't actually defend the words he types so he has to result to making up more BS. That's what cowards do who can't defend themselves. Well cowards and those who don't believe in gravity because it isn't convenient.
Maybe worthy of its own thread -- this is essentially the first act of the new Congress, and I await the spin-meisters defending it. So this "strengthens" existing ethics oversight by removing the independence of the process. Riiiiight. Orwell continues to say hello. How can any American defend this? Sigh. Probably the tip of the iceberg for 2017.
You're right -- I forgot about those! Those (non-criminal) emails that were not hers mean I cannot ever say anything about any other serious topic again. My bad. Back to the Hangout for me!
In my opinion, that's all talk. Trump is, no doubt, secretly delighted that an important mechanism for investigating ethics violations by Congress has been gutted, in my opinion. It's like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. This is outrageous. I agree with B-Bob. This deserves its own thread.
Indeed. I'll say "good for Trump" when it's warranted, and he's right: Congress does have better things to do with its time than reduce its own ethics oversight. (such as, defunding planned parenthood and privatizing Medicare, LOL.)
