Are you feeling OK? Have a bad day? I've been there, man. You seem to be dedicating a lot of time and energy over a cheeky comment that took me all of 30 seconds to write. If you want to go have a beer or something and chill out, let me know.

It was what his objection was….it was all about it being a stolen election and that Joe Biden was not actually elected. He urged on the “Big Lie” that instigated the deadly violence and continued it even after he himself ran from the mob he helped create! He’s a coward and a traitor!

That statement is clearly just referring to this particular bill, by the shit stain Hawley. Look at the name of the bill. You can’t possibly make the case that “owning the libs” isn’t the point. The previous bill was performative though. Make an attempt to look like you’re trying to curb corruption without really doing anything. I’m not going to reply all night. Contribute to the conversation by asking interesting questions or don’t expect a response.

He should go to prison for objecting? Isn't that kind of what politicians are supposed to do?

Previously you said:
> This whole bill is designed for one thing, “owning the libs,”
So do you also think the previous bill was designed to "own the Republicans"?

He was one of the first Senators to object to the certification and continued that objection even after they resumed the certification after the MAGGAT INSURRECTION. He’s a lying ass traitor that should be in prison!

Why do you think both bills can’t be garbage?

> Just because republicans don't
You seriously think all Republicans are bad faith? And the only ones actually interested in helping are Dems?

> Next should be the Hawley Act which would ban insurrectionists from holding federal office.
Your words
> shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
USC law.
You want a new law to do something an existing law already does. That's not 'putting words in your mouth'. It's pointing out your lack of knowledge.
Downvotes also don't make that less true. Sorry.
The existing law is fine.

No, there are people in govt that want better social programs and the govt to actually help people. Just because republicans don't, doesn't mean you need to project that shit on the opposite side.

She is just saying those things for the publicity, exactly as many are claiming about Hawley in this thread.

She does because of her husband. She gets a lot of the headlines for it but she's typically not at the top herself, her husband is.

Unusual whales is the biggest tracker of all of this and they call it the Pelosi metric for a reason, but there's plenty of Republican Congressional members who take part as well. This isn't one sided at all.
Congress members and their immediate families should not be allowed to trade while they're in office. If they need to make 150 million dollars like what the Pelosis are worth, they can retire.

> insurrectionists
Funny, that law already exists. It's even written into the existing law that you cannot hold office post conviction.

'Someone should make it a LAW!'
They already did. Try google.
If you hold such strong beliefs you should really spend 30 seconds looking first at what already exists. Just saying.

Last I saw she was the 5th best trader in congress with 4 other republicans ahead of her. With Dan Crenshaw either 4th or 6th on the list.

The previous bill sponsored by the Dems (text) also had carve outs for a "blind trust." What else did your cursory reading tell you that it is utter garbage?

Yeah I would say 99% of Republicans don't give af about Americans at all. There's plenty of corporate dems that also don't give af as well but there are democrats that do actually care. Elizabeth Warren trying to cap interest rates on credit cards is another example. The only reason I say 99% is because I'm sure there's 1 or 2 Republicans somewhere that have a decent take on something but those people won't ever see the light of day. It's Marjorie Taylor green, Lauren boebert, and DeSantis show now. Absolute psychopaths.
