  Without ethics there’s no need for a committee.
context: Party of law and order. Lol. >
  
  You can't break the law when there is no law to break. >

  My head got all tapped out during Ross Perot’s run (former Libbie here—“I got better” Cleese, after proclaiming a witch had turned him into a newt) >
  
  Real-life Cleese,unfortunately, did not get better, and has recently gotten significantly worse. >
  
  You know what George Santos had to say about gutting the Ethics Committee?
  
  "I think it's fantastic." >
  
  You mean Anthony Devolder? >
  
  No, no.  He means George Washington. >
  
  Article quote: "Furthermore, in true Orwellian fashion, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) will head the subcommittee to investigate the January 6th Committee and Justice Department investigators of the Trump coup attempt."
  This is why the DOJ should have acted faster, instead of dragging their feet. Jordan is guaranteed to bring out the circus tent and clown show. >
  
  But what can they actually do to stop the DoJ and its investigation? All they can do is make noise about it for the benefit of their idiot followers. >

  They’ve become the anti-law and pro-disorder party. >
  
  It really is true, whatever they are campaigning about, they do the opposite >
  
  How could they have gone from Donald Trump’s devout adherence to the ethics rules, to this? /s >
  
  The GOP has no ethics. Why would they need an ethics committee. >
  
  
  The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) has concluded you lack any ethics whatsoever.
  
  — OCE
  
  Ya duh ^((…resumes rapey cocaine orgy))
  
  — House GQP >
  
  The party of domestic terrorism doesn't have to pretend. Their ministry of propaganda media outlet lies to their dupes who accept whatever they're told. >
  
  Bigly represented by Faux Nooz whining about inflation and breakdowns in the aviation industry and dropping it directly in the laps of Democrats without any mention of 4 years of the lazy and incompetent Former Guy (who himself used multiple declarations of "Infrastructure Week" to cover up his regime's shady behavior), the garbage Republicon congresses he had, and the current Republican House's fascination with all things revenge. >
  
  Why do we allow for this to happen at all?  How can the subjects of oversight end their own oversight? >
  
  " Don't worry, the system will soon correct itself." It's easier to believe this than it is to look behind the curtains. >

  This being one of their first acts speaks volumes about who these people serve. They certainly aren’t serving their constituents. I’m sick to my stomach about what the future holds. It’s not going to be good. >
  
  Well this is part of the self destruction of the GOP. >
  
  They're a wounded animal, and all the more dangerous >
  
  They saw that scotus gets away with anything they want because there's no ethics regulations in that branch, and thought "that's a neat idea." >
  
  Democrats should ask them, on the floor, during debate, what they have against ethics. >

  There can be no ethics problems if no one is counting them. >
  
  Sounds a lot like their approach to domestic terrorism!  Guess activated fascist clans and MAGA-allied hordes don't exist if you simply order everyone to not look. >
  
  Republicans are like: "We don't need no stupid ethics, whatever they are. Trump didn't need them, so why do we?" >
  
  Perfect example...giving away that they know right from wrong, but defiantly refusing to do the right thing--with a dose of defending one of the worst in their ranks thrown in. >
  
  Nothing but bought and payed for politicians. >
  
  This headline seems wrong, the office of congressional ethics was cut; the house ethics committee is still functioning (as it always has) >
  
  The party of Trump continues.  It must be liberating, to be free from propping up the illusion of integrity. >
  
  Hey OP, office of congressional ethics and House Ethics Committee are different things. GOP isn't gutting House Ethics Committee, they're gutting OCE. Your title is misleading, you might want to change it. OCE is more of a watchdog, house ethics is a standing committee with Representatives sitting on it. OCE takes complaints from the public, the committee takes complaints internally. >
  
  Thanks! >
  
  Fix it >
  
  Can't edit post titles. >
  
  I know that. The right thing to do would be to add some text with the correct information in the body of the post. 
  If you can't do that, delete it entirely.  Repost it with the correct title, if you like.
  Why are we supporting spreading misinformation? Are upvotes worth more than the truth? Or is it just about scoring points against Republicans? >
  
  Well with that pesky ethics committee out of the way Jim Jordan can realize his dream of becoming the next Dennis Hastert. He just needs a bit more grifting and misappropriation of federal funds. >
  
  These genetic garbage cans won’t do shit except spew nonsense out of their rotten mouths. Fuck them all the way to oblivion and back! >
  
  From the people that constantly say "If you don't got nothin to hide then why don't you want us to look" 
  Well if you don't got nothin to hide then why do you constantly gut the ethics committees every chance you get? >
  
  there goes the grand old party, making america so great, just like china where their CCDI acts as an FBI that doesnt arrest popliticians because it would be political. You hear a flush? mustve been trumps golden toilet rubbing the last two secrets we have together in their classified paper turd clod toilet clog form. >
  
  The modern GOP is fantastically short sighted. I mean more than normal for politicians even. 
  This will come back to bite them someday. The stupid "weaponized government" committee can very well be aimed at a future GOP president as much as the current administration. But hey, who needs future problems? Let's take the easy way to getting what we want now! Nevermind the terrible cost we'll have to pay for later. 
  And when Democrats in the house are adding unethically, there's not much they can do about that either.
  The government is already run by far too many incompetents. These guys are taking incompetence to a whole other level. >
  
  America handing the GOP the keys to another body of government tells you all you need to know.
  America is a failed state that is dying of poison it has been drinking long before I started my iteration here 36 years ago >
  
  I'm not defending the GOP but...what were the consequences for everyone violating JUST the Stock Act? For now I'll exclude the other ethics violations and possible criminal offenses, like taking a gun onto a commercial airplane...twice. >
  
  Is this how you dRaiN tHe SwAmP!, because I don't think deprecating ethics is how you drain the swamp. A wet kleenex has more integrity. >
  
  I think they really need to create a committee for how to tie a tie or hand out button extenders or have a tailor tell them what size shirt they need. They all look like kids at a school dance with undone top buttons and sloppy ties. >
  
  "Drain the swamp!"
  The swamp: "lol no" >
  
  Republicans will destroy this country. >
  
  Remember this when you see republicans with Eagle Scout in their resume. Hey BSA, your Oath and those lofty Scout Rules... it didn't take, you got played. Now about all that Jesus stuff... >
  
  I’m curious what the spin at r/conservative is on this one >
  
  To paraphrase Jim Mora—“Ethics?  Ethics?  Don’t talk about—ethics?”  That’s the GOP’s attitude. >
  
  I’m so old, I remember Republicans claiming to be the party of moral clarity. Ethics, we don’t gotta show you no stinking ethics! >
  
  If there were any lingering doubts at all they just got all erased. >
  
  Republicans in congress are in only to enrich themselves. They have criminal intends! >
  
  I want to know why things like an “ethics committee” are optional pieces that can be removed at will. That seems like a problem in and of itself. >
  
  What does that committee even do? What have they done in the last 10 years of significance? >
  
  Swiper no swiping! Swiper no swiping! >
  
  But how is this a reflection of the Dems corruption? More at 11 on Fox >
  
  This is so f'n outrageous, even for trumphumpers I cannot believe it. They are not just going to get away with murder, they are rubbing everyone's nose in it. >
  
  Why are democrats not hounding this as a talking point?  It is a very easily verifiable piece of evidence of the right wing’s lack of ethics in general. Oh right cuz its the useless, complicit dems who also are opposed to campaign finance violations being looked into.  Fuck ethics amirite? >
  
  The Dems need to hire a serious PR firm to get any message out. >
  
  Come on seriously if you didn’t know by now…. >
  
  No ethics needed >
  
  I don’t understand why democrats are so upset about this. 
  Without an ethical compass, it’s a lot easier to exploit the people and radicalize them in order to prepare them America the fourth reich. 
  It’s not like they’ve been subtle about wanting to become a fascist regime. And people who decide they don’t want to vote because democrats aren’t radical enough, didn’t vote even though they knew this would happen… >
  
  
  I don’t understand why democrats are so upset about this. 
  
  Because maybe we believe in functional government with oversight, checks and balances and such like. >
  
  If that’s the case, why don’t millions of democrats vote more? 
  Polling suggested that trump and bush never even stood a chance to win the election… 
  America deserved better! >
  
  You asked a question, and I answered.  
  If you would like to discuss the reasons for low voter turnout, that is an interesting topic, but is not limited to Democrats by any means, and not really relevant to the post at hand. >
  
  I think she may have meant surprised rather than upset. Perhaps not a native English speaker >
  
  just look at these three need anything else. >
  
  Cant have a committee with no members from your own party. >
  
  Uhhhh we already knew. >
  
  Probably because none of their party could qualify to be on it. Can’t have a committee without representation. 
  At least their “How to be a rich evil bastard” committee will have a few democrats. >
  
  So the arsonists are dismantling the fire dept.  No one could have predicted.
