"Put Paul Ryan on it. He's a sneaky little shit, just like you." (Ethics gutting only DELAYED)



The backlash was in full swing last night, long before Trump's tweet. And anyway, Trump didn't object to Republicans gutting the ethics office. He just thought they should do it later, when fewer people might notice. And that's what they're doing. They'll "study changes" and then gut the office in August, when everyone is on vacation.

Can we please stop pretending that everything in the country is happening as a direct result of Trump's tweets? For God's sake.

They're putting lipstick on their pig - they are that desperate.

Watch them fool America from now to the inauguration about his ethical standards

How did his deposition go today - no coverage - what about his tax returns, conflicts of interest - Groper Don the Con and ethics my ass.
