Don’t think so Louie. Nancy has no fucks to give you insurrectionists.

Shut up and stop carrying in Congress. You aren’t special.

Oh please. Fuck you Louie. We all know you just see another fund raising scheme off your idiot followers’ backs. Every R in congress will have a gofundme to help pay the fines in a few weeks.

Louie, Louie no one has to stash a gun in the tank of a toilet, they can just leave theirs on top of the paper towel dispenser. It has happened before in the Missouri state capital.

Can’t walk through a metal detector? Is this about freedom or something and how does it infringe on his individual liberties?

You motherfuckers are the ones who think nothing of forcing school kids to go through metal detectors. Man up, ya babies.

Louie, Louie II it’s been 20 years of ever changing security procedures since 9/11. Every American knows that when you enter a secured area you are searched first, if you leave the secured area then you will be searched again. Isn’t this called in military terms “securing the perimeter”?

Louie’s defense can be translated into something like this: Why give me a ticket now, officer, I wasn’t speeding the last time I came this way?

Sorry, Louie. You are not appealing. You never have been appealing and you never will be appealing. Sad.

And the attention he gets for being one.

Your colleagues disagree with you.

Elections have consequences. So do violent insurrections.

Though I would have reframed it as “Put on your masks. Leave your guns at home.” because we had an insurrection riot at the Capitol.
Louie, Louie III if you want Nancy can change the dress code and make every Republican House member wear a red shirt. Easier for your “friends that storm the Capitol again to know who not to kidnap, shoot, or rape”.
