Anyone who knew about this behavior and failed to protect people employed at the capitol, or whose employment required them to interact with legislators, should be gone from that place. If these victims were put at risk because others, with power themselves, were unwilling to have the barest decency to intervene against these predators, fuck the legislators and their parties. You don't put people you believe to be predators, whether that's Lebsock or Baumgardner, in positions of even greater power by giving them chairmanships. If you're unable to expose them because you're protecting victims who might be subjected to retaliation, fine, but Jesus Christ, don't elevate them.
Based on the reporting, this may be a more appropriate hand placement.
Eww.
Imagine a legislature with only females left to legislate….How much shit would we get done???!!!
Don't get too giddy about that, MJ. Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman and Marilyn Musgrave walked into a legislative chamber as the new leadership of the majority party. How much shit you gonna get done with them?
And where exactly are Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, and Marilyn Musgrave now?
Don't misunderstand – I'm not promoting the argument that women are inherently more honorable or effective than men. Certainly there are plenty of Joni Ernsts making 'em squeal, and Vicki Marbles lecturing Boy Scouts.
But if you check the link I posted, or many other similar ones, you do see a pattern of women in power being able to work in, yes, a bipartisan way to accomplish common goals, i.e. get shit done.
Plus, if all the menfolk were so busy thinking with the little head that they got no bills passed and were forced to resign because of the busy hands, well, somebody's got to mind the store.
Don’t forget, it was three Republican women, plus McCain, that saved us from Trumpcare.
"three Republican women" Washington Post now wants money in order to access your link. So you know………
Here's a non-paywalled link to the same story from the Portland Press Herald.
There are many liberal lefty sites carrying the story about how Republican women killed Trumpcare, but you've written that you think those sites aren't credible.
I just hope to Goddess that the women, or other Republicans of conscience like McCain, come through for us again in killing this tax bill monster.
Susan Collins just announced that she will vote for the Plutocrat Tax Cut bill that kills Obamacare by removing the mandate; Three legged stool, and she is happy to cut off one of the legs.
She got a promise from Trump that he would support her bill.
She got another promise that the House-Senate conference committee will not just vote up the Senate tax bill.
Is she stupid, evil or a tool? I guess she's a Republican – no conscience.
I've written what?
On the whole, I find women to be more effective than men because they are more concerned with accomplisment than credit. There are, of course, many, many exceptions to that rule. But it is the way to bet.
There's a process. Follow the process. Why does no liberal care about the rights of the accused anymore?
Their rights kick in once the handcuffs are placed on them. (Although some of them may view handcuffs as part of foreplay.)
