It feeds into his “Biden Crime Family” narrative. Now he can tell his constituents that he’s doing something to stop a repeat of Biden’s (imaginary) corruption. Don’t give him any credit. His motive is still cynical and manipulative, as always.
For the GOP this bill would give them more wrenches to throw into the machine and delay progress. For the Dems, this bill will allow them to persecute corrupt behavior. This bill has a short sighted benefit to the GOP, but if they continue to use delay tactics, it will only become clearer how ineffective they are. I think Comer believes this will help his agenda, making Dems look corrupt, but in all reality it's only going to prove how corrupt the GOP has been this whole time.
@cjcarver6290 He is too stupid to understand what this would mean for his buddy if he gets re-elected. I honestly think he is so stupid, he believe the Menace did nothing wrong. He likely thinks he is putting one over on Representative Porter and President Biden. What a moron.
I would like to expand this amendment so that it spells out the specific consequences for violations and how long it will take for those consequences to be experienced. Otherwise, this is just more meaningless noise.
@@tygrahof9268 I wish the bribes entailed more luxury trips featuring skydiving, bungee jumping, parasailing behind yachts, helicopter rides, skiing, bear hunts, and rock climbing.
They'd have to have a majority to do that, and I don't think they would. It's one thing to operate in a vacuum -- no rules, so quietly do what you want. But if Congress makes a rule into law, there's no basis for striking it down.
I agree, many people want this bill to include multiple parts of the government. While I agree all should be held accountable realistically things are often incrementally fixed, first POTUS, then SCOTUS, then another bill could be for congress or slowly amending the bill to include all.
Damn, its about time. I should have known Ms. Porter would be instrumental in such need legislation. Yes please God!!! No more scumbags allowed to run for president.
It's inconceivable that she lost her senate race to a baseball player with no experience in government, Steve Garvey. Mr. Garvey has a net worth of $28 million dollars. Why are we choosing millionaires to govern the middle class when they have no knowledge or connection to it. It will just be more of the same.
Thank you #KatiePorter and Comer. Now is the time to prevent future gratuities, for ALL. President, Vice President, Congress, the House and SCOTUS! Everyone on down the line.
WOW- an absolutely refreshing and long overdue bi-partisan cooperation to something- anything- that anyone can call positive and in the interest of ALL Americans! Thank you Katie Porter and James Comer for your leadership in this effort. May it be a positive influence on other legislators. ALL Americans deserve a more positive and engaged congress.
This is a nice start, especially the team work. Just imagine if they worked together like this all the time, our country would be in a much better place. All House members, Senators and Supreme Court justices should be included in this legislation.
Wow! Now THIS is what we expect from our elected officials! Love seeing both sides work together to get important bills passed. Thank you both for working together on our behalf, it is SO refreshing to see!!!

Trump's buddies would never vote for any law which could put their orange Messiah in a prison cell, and as of now... without a larger number of GOP votes than we can expect to vote against anything which might injure Trump, this bill cannot pass.

Talk about reaching across the aisle in the best possible way! Good on you for embracing the other side to attempt a bipartisan approach to the problem instead of endless bickering. You go Katie Porter!!!
Reaching across the isle to do something for the American people. There IS hope!! And I would hope this extends to judges and all elected officials. Who is taking money and expensive gifts from who? Who is getting wined and dined by who? It's very important.
She's petty and a sore loser. She cried out when she lost to Rep Schief her quote THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED.. She's on a revenge mission because she lost the election . Now she sides with the very people who has torn this country apart. What has president Biden do to any of these people, other then govern this country to which trump and his corrupted friends tire a part. What's happening in ISRAEL by the hand of a person like trump speaking of BB is mind boggling. Our president have to work the globe to keep peace so THIS COUNTRY DO NOT GET DIRECTLY INVOLVED. This is what so smart people MEGA and Porter dosent understand. Yes She's excellent with numbers howeve5, when there's a war NUMBERS OF SPENDING DOSENT MATTER WE ACCESS DAMAGES AFTER for clean up. This isn't clean as you prep.
Get out of here with that narrow bill. if they feels o strongly about corruption then introduce a bill that cover all walk of government. what about you guys corruption? Comer trying to fidnsome tool to go after Biden. Let's put this on hold until after the election.
If you can say that with a straight face, you haven't been paying attention to Comer Simpson- so far all he's done since elected is spew lies about and try to impeach Joe Biden repeatedly and with more humiliating failure every time. The only reason he's involved with this bill is because they're easier to sabotage from the inside.
I love this. This is a piece of legislature that is a long time coming. We should know if our elected officials are on someone elses payroll. Another related bill would be to limit political or elected officials from receiving more than their paygrade or elected salary. Thank you for all you do.
It's a start. And if these two can work together and the bill passes both houses, the winds have truly changed! imagine Reputincans becomming sane again and actually working with the other side!
LONG over due! And while this comes as a complete surprise that James Comer would dare put his name to it and risk the ire of his MAGA Leader, I applaud you both! Now let's see if it can get passed! Oh and someday it is my fond hope that not only does it pass, but that it will apply to you in that high office. Katie Porter for President in 2028!
Thank you for a BEGINNING. I voted for you Ms. Porter and, given another opportunity, I will again. A bill that holds congress and the USSC is also needed. I feel that my representatives have more allegience to my adversaries than they do to my family and community.
Don't get your hopes up. I'm sure its all for show on Comers side. It will probably end up like the immigration bill that was bipartisan and then they didn't even bring it up for a vote.
This sounds okay...but doesn't Comer have some funky land payments business deals himself with his brother? Not sure I want to support an anti-corruption bill co-written by a corrupt politician. Katie Porter, on the other hand, I trust highly. Man, I'm conflicted on this one. But thanks, Ms. Porter, for trying to be bi-partisan (and for being a good influence on a Republican).
Joseph Kennedy Senior, father of JFK and RFK, helped set up the ethics rules for the SEC (so in a weird way, this bill builds on what he did 100 years ago) He famously said that he simply made all the things he did illegal. That old adage of it takes a thief to catch a thief (also a terrific old movie starring Cary Grant To Catch A Thief)
@@pmclaughlin4111 - Good point! And if Katy Porter approves of the wording of the bill and that the bill will actually do what she says it will do... She has earned my respect a hundred times over during her time in Congress, I can probably trust her on this, too.
I couldn’t be more shocked at this pairing. It definitely wasn’t on my bingo card! Love Katie. Don’t trust Comer as far as I can throw him. I’ll believe it when I see his signature in writing, the weasel.
Please please please, do the same for the Supreme Court. PLEASE. As long as I’m wishing- both houses too. Honestly thanks for getting the ball rolling!
I'm taking this as a win. I'm contacting my congress people today to tell them that this legislation MUST be passed. I see people already complaining, well lets not let the PERFECT get in the way of the GOOD. As for me? Supreme Court should be next. So sad to see Katy Porter going. SHE is a worker and can't believe her district didn't see that. I hope she keeps working for us and will return in a future election .
In spite of “differences” like the GOP attacking women’s health, like the homophobia and transphobia. I appreciate that you have a Republican to help launch this ethics bill, and I hope it helps. I just can’t set aside the utter misery the GOP has authored.
Truly a breath of fresh air! And hopefully this bill will pave the way and open the doors for similar bills addressing the other positions in our government as well!
katie porter, nobody but you could get comer to stand in one place and make a bit of sense. im honestly, impressed. you cleaned him up and put a little suit on him like hes going to first day at first grade... and he said words that made sense. what a big boy. katie, i continue to be impressed with everything you do.
I have so much respect for you Ms. Porter, having to work with comer has got to be the most challenging thing to do. I voted for you to be our Senator, next time.
This kind of ethical financial reform should be for ALL branches of government. The Judiciary, Congress, Senate and Executive offices are rife with corruption. Not everyone, but there are many who are obviously on the take.
Classic move by Katie. She knows that Dumpy's family is more guilty than anyone in terms of receiving foreign money. She is playing chess and Comer...well I don't think he could even figure out how to play checkers but let's just give him the benefit of a doubt. Too bad it does not include SCOTUS.
I never thought id agree with him but it goes to show even though we don’t agree about 90% there’s always 10%. I agree with your legislation but also think senators and representatives should be banned from stock trading while in office or at the least disclose all stock holdings and recuse themselves for any legislation relating to their holdings. Great job Rep. porter
He did a good job here though. Hard not to read between the lines at the start, but when he said "this is not a partisan issue" that felt like progress. We need a lot more of this though to defeat Trumpism.
Now do an ethics bill for the corrupt Supreme Court.
Gosh, I sure hope it doesn't turn out to be unconstitutional according to a pre-written Supreme Court ruling!
I had the same gut reaction LOL
Cant, because the supreme court could just rule that as unconstitutional.
This.
Throw in stricter rules for the House and Senate as well. Odd that the people governing things like corporate mergers on average out perform Wall Street hedge fund investors, or how their spouses just happen to be super lucky in dumping a ton of stocks right before the covid response was announced, or invested a ton in companies heading up the vaccines super early, or being able to make deals to be invested in real-estate for pennies on the dollar.
What crazy good luck and shrewd investing! One would think there would be laws against politicians, or anyone, from being able to use privileged information or connections for personal gain. I seems fairly likely that these kinds of things might sway some, if not the vast majority of elected officials to act in a manner that is not in line with the people, they were elected by, to represent.
What about the supreme court? No trust in comer.

It feeds into his “Biden Crime Family” narrative. Now he can tell his constituents that he’s doing something to stop a repeat of Biden’s (imaginary) corruption.

He's likely intentionally creating loopholes that they can later exploit.

@@sherylhoward4831 You know Trump will have his minions shut this down
Truly a breath of fresh air! And hopefully this bill will pave the way and open the doors for similar bills addressing the other positions in our government as well!
A first step. About time the US started catching up with other countries.
Yay!
katie porter, nobody but you could get comer to stand in one place and make a bit of sense. im honestly, impressed. you cleaned him up and put a little suit on him like hes going to first day at first grade... and he said words that made sense. what a big boy. katie, i continue to be impressed with everything you do.
😂 must be AI
Great! How about reforming the SCOTUS?

Thanks for serving our country.
Include Congress people as well. THAT would be transparency!
Great working together!!!
Thank you for working together, this is something we desperately need and should include the Supreme Court, as well!
Comer will go back on it. Just wait.
I have so much respect for you Ms. Porter, having to work with comer has got to be the most challenging thing to do. I voted for you to be our Senator, next time.
How dare Comer say that with a straight face wtf
One reason - politics. That means so many people are disgusted with corruption that even he has to pay attention. _That would be a GOOD THING!_
This kind of ethical financial reform should be for ALL branches of government. The Judiciary, Congress, Senate and Executive offices are rife with corruption. Not everyone, but there are many who are obviously on the take.
Yes, yes, yes.
Please expand this to SCOTUS justices.
This is so needed. This will go a long way to healing the hearts of the American people. Anyone who votes against this must themselves be corrupt.
We definitely need the list of opposers. Vote. Them. Out.
Classic move by Katie. She knows that Dumpy's family is more guilty than anyone in terms of receiving foreign money. She is playing chess and Comer...well I don't think he could even figure out how to play checkers but let's just give him the benefit of a doubt. Too bad it does not include SCOTUS.
I use to live in Katie Porter’s district and wish I still did. She’s awesome!
I never thought id agree with him but it goes to show even though we don’t agree about 90% there’s always 10%. I agree with your legislation but also think senators and representatives should be banned from stock trading while in office or at the least disclose all stock holdings and recuse themselves for any legislation relating to their holdings. Great job Rep. porter
How she stood there with Homer and not bust a smile kills me..
He did a good job here though. Hard not to read between the lines at the start, but when he said "this is not a partisan issue" that felt like progress. We need a lot more of this though to defeat Trumpism.
