I'm okay with that.

Might be making unwarranted assumptions, but I assume that's peanuts for a typical Republican Representative.

I like you. You are funny.

And publicly admit that the Presidential election was not fraudulent.

BizarreMan: Fined for not masking, now fined for evading metal detectors.
I'm okay with that.
Don't you mean fine with that?

Think of the time and money and lives that these lunatics have cost us over the years, and especially in the last 12 months-the botched COVID response, the toxic policing and politics, the economy limping due to shut downs and people staying at home. All of that time and energy wasted because of these jackasses and their followers. It's sickening.

fnordfocus: I'd presume that maximum that they could be fined was their annual salary, which I think is $174k.

A lot of the Reps are new, and a lot of them, new and old, are dumb. Taking their personal cash for more than a few days will start to hurt them. Fines are not tax deductible. There are legal limits on what they can do with campaign cash.

I am Tom Joad's Complete Lack of Surprise: Third violation: suspension until they hold a public press conference and sincerely apologize for being a safety hazard to their fellow representatives.
And publicly admit that the Presidential election was not fraudulent.
And publicly fire a 22 into either their nuts, if they have them, or their knee if they don't.
And don't try to be a smartass. I was going to say I'm fine with Tammy Duckworth carrying and suffering no consequence, but I checked and she does still have a knee. But I'm still fine with her carrying and suffering no consequence.

Thought these guys all ran on the successful businessman and Christian patriarch provider platform?
I mean if they can manage a new Suburban and a couple of M400s every year, a few hundred grand shouldn't be a big deal right?

they only "Back the blue" to pander to their white supremacist roots. When the Mags and Wants get used on them they realize their white privilege is no good their superiority bubble gets popped, they do not know what to do, and immediately lash out at the "Blue" who are trying keep them safe, and likely saved many of their colleagues lives on Jan 6th
3rd time should be Censure, 4th time expulsion.

To them, 'power' means "I make the rules that you have to live under." Whites make the rules for non-whites. Men make the rules for women. Christians make the rules for non-Christians. Etc.
Being compelled to live under the same rules as everyone else feels like persecution to them, because 1. they've grown accustomed to having a 'hall pass' and 2. that must mean someone else is now above them, making the rules for them while being exempt themselves.
The idea of equality under the law has no meaning to them. They can't fathom that anyone would live under the same rules that they make for everyone else. That's not what power means to them.
