Ethics enforcement in Washington DC is nothing more than a political tool to damage political opponents. Ethics complaints by members of congress are a stone throwing contest in the glass house district.

You are thereby implying that the party who wanted to kill the Congressional ethics watchdog is somehow the more ethical party. This is the same party who nominated Donald Trump, easily the least ethical Presidential candidate in the history of ethics and the only one in recent history not to release his tax returns (keeping in mind that his son has stated that Russia represents a significant part of Trump's income stream). You are such a gullible tool.

And he's not alone. Apparently, there are millions of them.

Nope, never implied it, note even close. What I will state emphatically is that lately you've not been able to hold your own in a discussion around here lately and now you've apparently resorted to trying to put words in other folks mouths, apparently so you can lower the quality of the debate and sound better arguing with yourself.

Have fun with that.

If Trump was not corrupt himself this would be something to be glad about.
It is like the rooster complaining about the hen house being unlocked.

You're getting funnier by the day. Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty arguing with you. It's like picking on an (intellectual) cripple.

I doubt if anybody other than the other goof balls in here ever think you won an argument about anything.

Logic is not your strong point.

Not much ethics in either major party, Republicans are 10x is the only difference. And they will pass this bill when they can after all this posturing and that's a fact.

Indeed, once the spotlight is off they will sneak it in somehow.

OK genius. You said:

You then went on, in your typical "I'm not a Democrat" style to try to slam Trump and the GOP. But I digress....

I then responded:

You apparently find that funny, which suggests that I somehow suggested that the "GOP is the more ethical party. So, please point out to me where in this thread I made that statement. Go ahead. I'll wait.
