"SNIP.....

The Hill: “The Democratic rules package includes the revocation of floor privileges for former members of Congress convicted of crimes connected to their service or election.”

“It would also make it a violation of the code of conduct for members, officers or employees of Congress to identify a whistleblower.”

“The rules package would also ban members from knowingly disseminating manipulated images or ‘deepfake’ videos.”

.....SNIP"

1. Good

because the loons like MOOOnes and Gymsuit Jordan were some of the biggest ones instigating releasing the names of whistleblowers and I think even did via social media.

[dalton99a]

2. Kick

[Cha]

3. TY!

[Baitball Blogger]

4. Good proactive moves.

[DENVERPOPS]

37. good moves

but I would rather see them punished the way Russia, China, and the Saudi's handle dissenters.........

[SheltieLover]

[Hermit-The-Prog]

19. Yeah! Like wearing a...

...condom BEFORE sex.

Or even way much easier: Wearing a mask BEFORE meeting others!

[Marcuse]

7. Need a rule requiring Members to defend the Constitution. Maybe even a sworn oath to God or whatever

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

39. Maybe they should be required to pass the citizenship test that immigrants take.

It seems they've forgotten the basics of how our country works.

[Liberty Belle]

8. Good! So Duncan Hunter can't run again, or the other 2 Trump pardoned.

[bottomofthehill]

9. Not quite what it says

They can run, and if they win, they would not be former members but current members and as such would have access to the Floor. If they remain former members, they will not have access to the Floor.

[Liberty Belle]

43. Darn, thanks for the clarification.

I am not sure who is worse, Issa or Hunter.

[Maven]

10. Uh huh. And what about rules for members who openly support sedition? nt

[BootinUp]

11. K&R

[Thekaspervote]

12. Hoping there are rules about NO guns of the floor of congress!!

[Generic Brad]

13. Is there a rule against Congress members being insane traitorous wankers?

If not, we have a demonstrable need for one.

[LymphocyteLover]

27. Indeed, that is the more pressing matter-- what to do with the seditious traitors?

[Politicalgolfer]

14. Ummmmm...and when is the last time rules, laws or past practices meant a

goddamn thing to these bastards???? They will do whatever they want.

[mvd]

15. K&R

Sounds like good changes!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

16. I'll believe this rules package has teeth when I see the bite marks.

I've become weary and far too guarded over the last four years to get my hopes up too high.
I'll wait for the proof.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. Exactly! Nothing ever seems to #weneednewleadership

Thank YOU for your service! Time to step aside.

[Marie Marie]

17. Is this a done deal or does it have to be voted on?

[Wounded Bear]

29. They vote on rules every session...

It's one of the first things they do after being sworn in.

[applegrove]

18. And in Canada Conservative Rempell rails against the cbc for reporting

the news that some provincial politicians have been caught going to Hawaii or St Barts (all conservatives because rules aren't for them... rules are for the little people). How do we protect our beloved cbc when it is partially government funded and therefore can't protect itself or mount a counter campaign? Where would the world be without 'As It Happens' on radio at night. Rempell has a compelling problem during covid.... many many people are not getting to be with loved ones as they die... her mother-in-law is in the US i think, but she blames it on the cbc like it is a witch hunt to be following the rules governments have laid out for everyone. How do we get conservatives to stop undoing information and values like republicans did in the US?

38. I am waiting for the time

when the virus mutates to a form that only infects ReubliCONs.......

[Lucinda]

20. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. So what's your bottom line on this?

[Ilsa]

22. they would be powerless, so easy to beat in a primary. nt

[burrowowl]

23. Kick! Go Nancy!

[Mr.Bill]

25. And what happens when the Code of Conduct is violated?

Is it anything like absolutely nothing?

[Blue Owl]

26. K&R

[Miigwech]

28. Keep the a-hole gop in line cause they have no self control or the developed brains

of an human adult. Those idiots belong in middle school or prison. GO NANCY!!!

[Hotler]

30. Suit or sport coats to be worn at all time on the House floor. Start random drug testing.

Pee in the cup you fuckers.

[hot2na]

31. This should be something Dems and Reps both can agree on....

...Oh wait!

[SayItLoud]

32. Well, we've seen how rules not followed have no consequences.

Without teeth to these *Rules*... rePubes see a rule is a rule is a rule and nothing more. Until there are substantial consequences violating the rules only makes them stronger in their followers eyes.

[HUAJIAO]

33. How about jail time for liars.

[Texin]

34. Do the rule changes have to be voted up or down?

[curthayden]

35. Perfect

Keep some of those idiots in line!

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

36. The adults are taking charge of the spoiled brats in the House.

Hope to see more of these types of much needed changes in the future

[Nitram]

40. YES!

[bucolic_frolic]

41. Hope it's an omen, and may there be many

"former members of Congress convicted of crimes connected to their service or election.”

Can we make this like traffic court?

[BobTheSubgenius]

42. Somehow, this seems to be more problematic for one side of the aisle than the other.

Nahhhh. I must be wrong.
