Pelosi announces the House will vote next week to impose FINES on lawmakers who refuse to go thru the new metal detectors
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
I'm almost hoping this is a honeypot.
These fascists will definitely skim the inevitable donation money this will bring in for personal use. They are really comfortable from the last 4 years of being able to get away with everything because Trump and the GOP let them.
Now they are going to face dire consequences for their actions.

How much do you guys think reps make exactly??
Why not jailtime too?
Now that they can pass anything they want they should make Republicans lives as difficult as painful as possible for them refusing to do the bare minimum to keep others safe. Don't wear your mask? Fine and be removed from the chambers. Don't go through metal detectors? Fine and removal. Bringing a gun into a restricted area, fine and jail time.

She got those yokels thinking the moment you step from the Capitol it's all Thunderdome in D.C
How do these people go through life? It's like the most minor inconvenience makes them short circuit.
When you consider their will also be a fine for those that do not wear a mask ($500 for 1st offense, $2500 for 2nd offense onwards), the GOPers that actually try to dodge the detectors an not wear a mask would lose their monthly salary in two days. So, seeing how its the recently elected QAnoners who are the most against this, it should sting them pretty badly.
A lot of rural conservatives think this of every city. It's sad but also hilarious when they talk about being hesitant of going to an event/concert in "the city" because they think they will get mugged.
Why don't they just say "hey, you don't go through the metal detector, you don't go in?"
seems like a pretty cut and dry solution.

Maybe it is unconstitutional to bar a rep from entering the floor for a vote once they've been seated for a term? I can think of some good reasons that might be the case, though obvious there are downsides like this case.
Just speculation, but I can't see why they wouldn't bar them otherwise.
They're allowed to vote via proxy. It honestly doesn't make sense.
Institute a congressional dress-code that includes uniforms and clear backpacks. That should cut down on the number of guns in our halls of government.
No, because it's in the Constitution that members of Congress cannot be stopped on their way to Congress. The idea is good, imagine if you could ruin votes by arresting a Congressperson on their way to go vote. These fucks are taking it to a new level. The Constitution also allows Congress to set its own rules, so Pelosi is really the only one who can put pressure on them.
They are, that one already passed. 500$ first offense, 1000$ second, if I remember right
I have an idea.
How about, instead of doing this, the Capitol police refuses to let them inside instead of allowing them through?

Nothing's more thunderdome than their fracked to hell open carry paradise
Not gonna lie, I thought this about DC for a while. Last time I was there was about a decade ago. Dragged there by my parents for a vacation to see monuments and what not. My dad specifically got us rooms at a military base there (Retired Vet) because he believed it'd be safer.
Thank goodness for her that five foot zero 100 pound women are only attacked via slow moving frontal targets that give her enough time to clearly shoot them. All of us taller and heavier ladies are not as lucky.
That would require police to be law abiding rational citizens. So it's not happening.
Hell why not both. First offense you're barred entry. Second offense, you're barred entry AND you get fined $5000. Third offense, barred and $10000.
Also, serious question but how do these people behave at airports?
Love it. But the fine should really just continue to double beyond the first incident and if you're salary his zero you have to pay cash on hand.
That would require it to go through the Senate as well. Whereas this can be determined from the house alone since it only affects the house.

This doesn't go far enough. What about the third, fourth, fifth offenses? If the fines don't continue after the second, they'll just keep on not caring. $15k is nothing to these jerks.
We can't just kick them in the wallet. We have to kick them in the wallet's nuts.

and some of them talk about it very proudly on twitter.
hitting them in the pockets is the most effective way to humble them.
Far from it. While most of them were well off before entering Congress they still subsist off their average 175K salary. $5000 hit is like hitting a low income earner with a $1k fine.
That's a hit they are going to feel even if the aren't representatives who weren't wealthy before getting their political position.
I still think being expelled also should happen. You can't just walk onto the US congress house floor with a freaking gun!?
They'll just go through them, set them off and keep on walking. I think this has already happened a couple of times. The security won't actually stop an elected Rep on their way to the floor.
DC was very bad back in the day. Remember they renamed the Bullets, (the NBA team) at least in part because there were so many shootings.
