These people are miscreants of the worst kind for this. In addition, though, maybe we should update the rules so people don’t have to be in one fucking building all at the same time in order for our government to function. We have the technology, people. We can make it better, faster, and stronger than what it is now.
Actually, I’d like to keep it that way for now. These fuckers use Microsoft for their confidential emails. I don’t want to imagine the huge security issues they’d create in voting for budgets and legislation.
Microsoft nationwide outage atm.
Voting is cancelled . . . etc.
Budgets and Legislation are all televised on CSPAN already. It’s public information. For the super secret war plans, they use the ultra-secure Signal app.
And invite journalists in
Thus solving the leak problem once and for all
That just introduces new problems like Mitch McConnell "working from home" and voting on every Republican bill despite having been dead for the prior 18 months.
How many of their constituents will remember this 23 months from now?
I probably won't because this particular vote was in fact pointless and inconsequential. New congress doesn't enter office until Jan 3rd.
How many of the rest of us are going to let them forget?
