I would have guessed this was 100% sarcastic. Seeing as we just found out the GOP just absolutely gutted the ethics panel.

The changes include " strip it of its independence, block it from investigating any wrongdoing that occurred prior to 2011, and prevent it from releasing its findings to the public, without the authorization of the House Committee on Ethics. The rules change would also prevent the panel from alerting law enforcement to criminal activity without the approval of the House committee."

So basically the house made it so that the house has to be ok with releasing any information.

That is less "draining the swamp" and more building 100s of damns, barricading every drain, and putting a huge stopper in every drain possible.

It is literally the opposite of "draining the swamp". All it is doing is making it much, much easier to do corrupt things.

They have reveresed their proposals on the say so of the donald.

This is breaking news. Not CNN breaking news, real breaking news.
