And so it begins.

Ethics committees to be dismantled. So things like, oh I don't know, Trump keeping his businesses while being President can happen... will happen.

Luckily it's been well documented who my vote went to and I'm in no way responsible for the abortion about to occur aka Trump presidency.

At least they did it after a lot of open public debate.

This is usually the first thing you do right before a good swamp draining. Kudos to them for already decreasing the size of our government and ridding us of useless regulations preventing some Americans from getting rich and experiencing the American Dream.

It's always do your dirty work in the dark when it comes to the pukes, now that the head snake has spoken they're backing off the plan to gut the ethics committee but for how long? It'll be back they don't like watchdog groups exposing their dirt.

A government ethics committee is an oxymoron sir.

Believing in nothing is believing in something I suppose.

I would agree, government is not the most trustworthy entity, however ethics oversight doesn't require trust, only the law.

When "the law" is made by government, the meaning of it is defined or conveniently redefined by government and the adjudication of breaking the law is done by government it would seem like ethics is not in the equation.

Plus I was just busting your balls.

If this remains as it is, I may consider commending Trump, and actually give him credit for this, if it doesn't turn out to be a PR stunt in the first place.

As @Flaming Pie would say, I'm being cautiously optimistic.

True indeed. But we the people are only to blame for those who create the laws. We put the representatives there to make the laws in the first place.

Well I didn't put them there. I don't have the right to put anybody in charge of you, only you do.

trump only criticized the prioritization of it, not the intent.

it was scrapped because we flooded their phonelines non-stop this morning.

trump is trying to take credit for the actions of millions of vigilant citizens.
