Pelosi Says $5K Will Be Deducted From Salaries of Lawmakers Who Bypass Metal Detector

You go Nancy! HAHAHAHAHA...if they have nothing to hide, they shouldn't have a problem. Simple as that.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced Wednesday that House members who ignore new security procedures, including refusing to walk through metal detectors, will soon be subject to fines of $5,000 or more.

Multiple Republican representatives have either refused to take part in the new security screenings or have been outspoken in denouncing them. The refusals began after security was enhanced on Tuesday, following last week's insurrection by violent supporters of President Donald Trump, who stormed the Capitol as Congress was meeting to certify President-elect Joe Biden's victory.
"On behalf of the House, I express my deepest gratitude to the U.S. Capitol Police for the valor that they showed during the deadly insurrection on the Capitol, as they protected the lives of the staff and the Congress," Pelosi said in a statement. "Sadly, just days later, many House Republicans have disrespected our heroes by verbally abusing them and refusing to adhere to basic precautions keeping members of our Congressional community, including the Capitol Police, safe."

The House will soon move forward with a rule change imposing fines on those who refuse to abide by these protections," she explained. "The fine for the first offense will be $5,000 and $10,000 for the second offense. The fines will be deducted directly from Members' salaries by the Chief Administrative Officer. It is tragic that this step is necessary, but the Chamber of the People's House must and will be safe."

House Democrats may soon further fan the flames of partisan outrage by adopting fines for members who refuse to wear face masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic, another requirement that has been ignored by mostly GOP members. Lawmakers who do not comply will be fined $500 for the first offense and $2,500 for the second, according to the Associated Press, citing a senior House Democratic aide speaking on the condition of anonymity.

With a growing body of evidence that the assault on the Capitol Building was facilitated by "insiders," why should Democratic legislators place their trust and lives into the hands of their Trump supporting counterparts when it comes to bringing weapons into the House and Senate?

The FBi has already concluded that this occupation had been planned before the Trump Rally and the occupation of Congress - schematics showing the location of congressional offices and underground tunnels were being distribution on right-wing media sites and those who came carrying plastic handcuffs were obviously intent on taking and restraining prisoners!

Exactly! Knowing that they may have been the ones who took part in a recon mission (I know it hasn't been proved yet) but if they did, that is the lowest of low you can go if they did do it. They should be charged accordingly.

Pelosi is just a paranoid, dictatorial, cowardly, vindictive piece of dung. I truly hope she spends the rest of her miserable life living in fear, always looking over her shoulder, always wondering if the next person she meets is out to get her.

There was no "insurrection". There were no valid grounds to impeach the President, not the first time, not the second time. Those proceedings will go down in the history books as shameful abuse of power and an attempt to overthrow the duly elected President of the United States.

Matt Gaetz got it right.

Why is Pelosi paid one red cent from the citizens of the United States of America. She was supposed to take this job out of a sense of duty for country, to sacrifice in the name of the less fortunate. Not to let her brother in law get a billion $ payoff from Van Jones, Obama's green czar just to go bankrupt.

Yea, Nancy has really got your back? Wake up cabbage heads.

Trump supporters would have us believe that they routinely attend his Rallies dressed in para-military gear carrying a supply of plastic handcuffs - one never knows as to when the "Supreme Leader" will direct them to storm and occupy a legislature, overcome security and take the occupants prisoners!

No matter how Trump supporters attempt to twist and spin the facts, when confronted by these pictures there are no credible arguments that "there is nothing to see here" and that these individuals harbored no sinister intentions - we've had enough of them justifying the unjustifiable!

flowerchild, if anyone sounds like the 'supreme leader' of the First Order, it's Joe Biden and his sycophant minions.
