She's right and all...

But will it actually matter? The public voted for a pedo rapist felon. Surely if the triple threat is your pick for president, to be considered "incompatible" you would have had to do something truly horrific.

Its actually clever. When the repubs block the release of the reports she will claim the dems balked at releasing the reports because they are the dirty ones.

How many of these ethics reports even really exist? Gaetz existed I thought because he was under investigation for his crimes and they said if he dropped out it would be sealed.

Do they actually have reports for everyone? If so that's great, but I can't imagine they were actually investigating every person in the same manner.

Y'all are missing the implication of this. These comments think it's the public she's talking to here. She's talking to other Congress people with skeletons in their closets.

makes popcorn

What? Can't a man just make popcorn without it IMMEDIATELY being assumed to be a statement reflecting the imminent surge of corrupt behavior all coming to light across the entire GOP side due to MTG's own suggestion?

Are you saying I'm only making popcorn because I will treat this as an entertaining movie watching the cockroaches skuttle?

..........I mean, you're right, but daaaaamn. Why you gotta out me like that?

Especially looking forward to all those Biden ethics violations they spent months trying to find and millions of dollars

It will probably be a short read compared to the comey report though

Maybe this is a sarcastic suggestion that won't see any progress beyond showmanship. There is no low too low for the Republican party, but i wonder if there is integer underflow for situations like this.

Let all Ethics Reports be released? Then how about:

Forgive student debts to own the libs?

Shutdown fossil fuel extraction because they power space lasers?

Get rid of the lotteries and stupid stuff, end illegal immigration by making all immigration de facto legal?

Does anyone remember back when President Bill Clinton was in office ? FOIA was an amazing moment in American politics.

Now the judges, presidents, congresscritters, and cops just say, "Nah it is too dangerous for citizens to see the government's work."

What is that ? What the fuck is that ?
