  Many who vote republican would be happy to have health care and social security, if the dems would just stop trying to take their guns.
context: And covering up their own crimes. Also, they effectively shut down the independent ethics office, as their first order of business with their rules package. It's shocking what they are doing! Republicans do not care about our laws. All political games and false messaging all the time. Zero principles. Brought to you by Repubkican voters' addiction to Fox News lies. >
  
  This was going to be my point. Many of them are implicated directly or indirectly, which forces them together. It’s an organized crime tactic that worked extremely well in congress sadly. They share the wealth and the crime so their fates are inextricably tied >
  
  They need to share a jail cell. >
  
  Unfortunately when you get to be your own judge and jury it’s unlikely you choose to convict yourself >
  
  In the past, it didn't work that way because we had the 4th branch ... the people's branch ... the media. But now Republican voters self isolate within Fox News, which is purely Republican propaganda. >
  
  Obligatory "Fuck Ronald Reagan". >
  
  Fuck every conservative. They hate americans. Fuck em >
  
  Throwing more hate into the mix would not necessarily be helpful, but I understand the sentiment in general. >
  
  But if I don't let the hate flow through me, how will I be able to throw a bus with my mind? >
  
  You've got a point >
  
  
  one of the first changes McCarthy pushed through the House involved a series of rules meant to gut the Office of Congressional Ethics, an independent body empowered to investigate complaints about members of Congress. It's no mystery why this is a top priority for so many Republicans in Congress

  an independent body
  
  Yeah fucking right. If this office is supposed to oversee a specific group of people, that very same group cannot be allowed to determine it's funding. How the hell can they call that "independent?" >
  
  Constitutionally, only Congress can fund it. >
  
  That doesn’t make it independent.  It just means any body funded by the government to oversee Congress is not independent so they should stop using that word.
  I think the press and it’s “freedom” was meant to be the body overseeing Congress…but we’ve seen that go full dumpster fire. >
  
  The press doesn’t have subpoena power. >
  
  Does the Office of Congressional Ethics have any meaningful subpoena power (meaning, one that can’t be completely wholly ignored without some repercussion against the person be subpoenaed)?  I don’t think they do.  
  If any sanction came to someone ignoring the subpoena it would have to come in the form of public opinion, the road to which leads through reporting by…the press. >
  
  Party of law and order everyone. 
  Republican voters are the dumbest people on earth.
