âI canât think of any legitimate reason to remove this language other than to protect members of Congress over taxpayers and congressional employees.â
What language? How can I know if I agree or disagree or whether itâs a big deal or not if you donât inform me of the language at issue, TPM?
Am I to just take it as a given that I support it and am outraged about this exclusion because liberals/Dems?
So many reasons for Dems not to lend support to the spending bill; whether itâs this issue or protecting Mueller, or DACA. Time to demand something(s) in return for their support and to hold the line.
âI canât think of any legitimate reason to remove this language other than to protect members of Congress over taxpayers and congressional employees.â
Why of course! They deserve to be protected.
And have funded pensions
And high paying jobs as lobbyists if voted out
And great health insurance
Brings to mind a song. Hit it Randy!

O/T but just saw this and wanted to share it.
Power of the Press in action.
Gillibrand isnât going to get anything.
After what she did to Al Franken⌠the hell with her.
WaPo is reporting that the White House is talking to Theodore Olson as a possible addition to the legal team.
You know, I could have eventually learned to forget that episode â but now that I see she has no idea what âbegs the questionâ means and does not know when to use âwhomâ instead of âwhoâ â well, Iâve had it: sheâll never get my support now.
âThe bill would make members of Congress personally liable for harassment settlementsâŚâ
Party of Personal Responsibilityâ˘: âYou canât hold people personally responsible!â
This is a two-year period where absolutely everything that happened should be erased.
Amend the Constitution!
Amendment 28: Dotard Traitor Amendment.
If congress decides by a two thirds majority that a foreign power has placed a puppet in the presidency, and that puppet is both a dotard and a traitor and has acted in the interests of said foreign power, then all executive actions by that dotard traitor, as well as all legislative actions signed by that dotard traitor, shall be null and void.
Youâre 100% correct. The outstanding issues are on the Dems side. Unfortunately, the Dems DO NOT know â or are unwilling to play hardball politics with the Russ-thugs!
The so-called âMangoâ Amendment.
We need a third âEqually Nasty but Oppositeâ Party. The ENBOs.
Ah yes, the lazy writerâs resort. Still always better to just provide the language rather than sentences that interpret it for us. The constructive criticism stands.
Given its many poison pills, there is no reason for any Democrat to support the Trump GOP omnibus. Democrats need to ask for Senator Gillibrandâs language, protection for Dreamers (path to citizenship), and take out all the anti-abortion nonsense. Why cooperate and let Don the Con and his lackeys claim any victory?
Trump is also searching for lawyers who advertise on Fox âNewsâ.
Where is the Womenâs march group to bring focus and protest? Disappointing!
The article says what it does:
The bill would make members of Congress personally liable for harassment settlements and would draw back the secretive process currently governing claims of improper conduct.
And then the text is linked so you can see what the exact language is. Not sure what more you expect. Do you get this worked up about articles about budget items?
I donât know if Iâm âoutragedâ but I AM sick and tired of the namby pamby BS that McConnell and Ryan regularly engage inâŚâWe wonât do SHT if a Democrat gets any credit for it. We didnât spend 8 years putting down Obama to let this happen under OUR watch!â
