You have a weird way of showing it. How many sitting Republican members of Congress - you know, those you claim to loathe - were replaced during this last election?

I know. It was extremely disappointing.
I would have danced in the streets if Ryan had lost.

Pretty much true.....same as it was for Dems and Obama.
(The "Massa" thing......really?? Did you have to take classes to learn how to ruin a valid point like that??....)

I heard about this and was furious long before I heard about Donald's tweet.

Yeah, OK.... you know the answer to the question...

It was a small issue until Trump tweeted about it.

Feel free to continue to pretend like you don't get it.

This, exactly.

Trump's mouthpiece expressed no issue with the vote.


Kellyanne Conway insists gutting the independent ethics office in no way contradicts Trump's pledge to 'drain the swamp'

Ha! - he sent his mouthpiece out to defend this travesty, then changed his mind? Does that woman have a shred of dignity left?

Try again. Congress people were flooded with calls from their constituents. This was already huge
news last nite. The only thing trump objects to about shutting this office down is the timing
of the vote. They will try this again when they think people have stopped paying attention.

Department was being eliminated and the duties moved to the committee.

Typical lie spin by progressives to claim nefarious means while they try and suppress the facts so they can confuse the public.

Fact is, I think them eliminating an entire department and consolidating the duties is a good call.

It will be great when they find out a congressman is a pedophile and have no authority to report him.

I would say you're lying, but that would imply you have a working idea of the the facts of the matter. Anyone interested could look into the rule changes suggested - in particular the removal of the protection for anonymous sources.
