You're viewing a single thread.
Hah. Clearly this should happen, but I hope the irony of self-enriching congress lecturing others about ethics isn’t lost on anyone.
I know it's not the point you were making, but the Senate is a different body than Congress
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Congress
Congress is the Senate and the House of Representatives. Two chambers.
Not...really. It's the supposed to be the more ethical, upstanding half of Congress, with the popular House of Representatives constituting the deplorable half.
So, regardless of which side of Congress is referring to, or both sides, it doesn't matter: their self-enrichment undermines their stance on ethics. It's not like Manchin, a Senator, also hasn't benefited from the largesse of billionaires.
Again, I understand your point, but Congress is literally not the Senate...
What do you think Congress is?
The governing body made up by congressmen as opposed to senators
Well you are not correct. Congress is the legislative branch, made up of the House of Representatives (referred to as representatives or congressmen like you said) and the Senate (referred to as senators).
You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
