Didn't know she could go this route!!

(8,770 posts)She has ovaries. Large ones. Pence and Lindsay have balls, I assume. Useless. Ovaries are the big dogs. Stainless steel 3 pound nuptial implants would not help GOP men. Get em Nancy.

(5,477 posts)to the Capitol Complex, since the latest infections came not from the floor, but from the 'undisclosed location' where they were corralled together.
This is a good start, though, and well within her purview. The extension to the rest of the complex will probably require legislation.

(31,261 posts)The Capitol Complex is more problematic with McConnell still in place as Senate leader until VP Harris is sworn in.
SeattleVet
(5,477 posts)That's why it would require either working with the Senate, or legislation.

(11,564 posts)The fine here is $230 for the average person on the street (so to speak), which has a good equivalency to the amounts these people earn.
The top fine goes up to $2300....even more equivalent.
SergeStorms
(19,204 posts)but better late than never. You'd think republicans would have enough intelligence to protect their health and the health of others, but you'd be wrong about that. Small children know enough to comply, but the GOP is so contrarian to everything that's good for them, you have to hit them in the head with a sledgehammer to get anything done.

(21,771 posts)maskholes.
If I were a member of Congress, evacuated to a safe place, and ran into these Republicans refusing to wear masks, I would have surely been expelled from Congress for my actions in response.
People are dying by the thousands, and not wearing a mask around others is no different than pointing a gun in someone's face.
Your breath is a lethal weapon. Keep it under control.

(18,638 posts)That's going to throw a helluva party at the end of the year.
If we'd had an F word jar in the Oval Office for the last 4 years, we could have paid off the national debt.
It occurs to me Trump cant stand being told he's lost and we like reminding him but he slips into that "I really won" Big Lie denial of his. Better still to always remind him and especially his followers how Nancy cleaned his clock.
And that ovary thing up above that's pretty cool.
....most of these knobs have enough personal wealth that the fines can be seen as minor nuisances.
