a First for the House of Representatives

[RobDownSouth]

House members in Washington DC have traditionally been exempt from having to pass through metal detectors.

Not anymore.

In the wake of the failed Trump Putsch attempt last week and especially with two Q-anon members in the House of Representatives, House members must pass through metal detectors just like the rest of us mere mortals.

......aaaaand JACKPOT.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (Q-anon loonie) walked through the metal detector, she had something metal in her handbag.

She is causing a scene at the Capitol as we speak, Facebook live stream of her standoff with Capitol police. She refuses to allow her bag to be searched.

I think she was the one live tweeting the location of the Speaker during the coup attempt. She won't make it a month

Congressman Russ Fulcher (R-Idaho) just set off the House metal detector and shoved aside a female Capitol police officer who asked him to empty his pockets.

Think he would do that to a TSA officer at an airport?

......and a third one in one hour! Rep Louie Goehmert of Texas, simply walks around the metal detector, claiming his House position exempts him from it.

Batting a thousand

 

[jaF0]

Expel them all.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Jaysus, it's a fucking meltdown tonight.

Congressman Steve Stivers (R-OH) is screaming he has a "right" to bypass metal detectors. Rep. Stivers sponsored legislation requiring metal detectors in Ohio high schools! Irony!

 

[jaF0]

Thing is, they'll use the 6th to 'justify' having their boombooms for 'protection' against insurgents.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Heeere we go again.... Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz) says she has "never been through a metal detector in her life and won't start now".

Whut?

Their dreamworld is disintergrating.

This is their last chance to prove they are the heir to the Crown of Trump -
to display in public, that it is they, that are the Trumpiest of all the Trumpies.

Capitol Police had set up metal detectors outside of the House floor as of Tuesday afternoon and all House members, staffers and aides will have to go through them, the aide said. A US Capitol Police source confirmed the measures are in place.

Acting House Sergeant-at-Arms Timothy Blodgett said in a memo to all members of Congress and their staffs that the metal detectors were being installed to ensure compliance with police regulations banning guns and incendiary devices from the chamber.

Members are reminded that pursuant to the firearms regulations that Members received on opening day, firearms are restricted to a Member's Office," the memo stated. "Thank you in advance for your (cooperation) with the United States Capitol Police and Sergeant at Arms staff during the screening process."

The House Democrats told CNN that they are worried some lawmakers are ignoring House rules regarding firearms.

"There have been increasing tensions with certain incoming freshmen for months, who have been insistent on bringing firearms in violation of law and guidelines," one House Democrat said, in a reference to Republican Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina and others.

yet they have no issue with other people's children having to do the same on a daily basis in order to access their education

or for people to enter courthouses in town squares
or having interviews at immigration offices
and so many other examples

Aren't these the people who are always trying to impress upon us the absolute importance of complying with law enforcement at all times, and that's perfectly OK to kill you if you don't?

In fairness to Gohmert, he is the dumbest member of Congress. Who knows how long it'll take him to learn a new practice like walking through the metal detector instead of around it?

Look what trump has done. Those metal detectors will never go away now. What is going to happen with all the Congressional and White House tours now. trump has destroyed for four years and we now reap what he has sown.

Right?!?! It almost seems as if the Republican’s values are utter bs. As if they crumbled along with their integrity.

There already were metal detectors there, since at least the '80s. What has changed is that members of Congress used to be allowed to walk around the detectors, now they have to go through them like everyone else. With some of the Republican nuts in the House now - especially Boebert - that is just as it should be.
