NEW: Speaker Pelosi implementing FINES for members who don't wear a mask on the House floor

$500 fine for first offense.

$2,500 for second office.

Fines will be deducted from Member pay (no use of campaign funds or MRA for fines).

[blaze]

1. Ooooooh! Fines will be deducted from Member pay

When I first heard about this I thought, "No way she'll be able to collect that"

Didn't know she could go this route!!

[calimary]

80. GOOD!

Hit ‘em where it hurts them most: in the moneybags.

[Sympthsical]

2. This is a woman who is entirely tired of the children's bullshit

Behold her field of fucks, for they are barren.

I do like this look on her.

[DEbluedude]

4. "Behold her field of fucks, for they are barren."

Luv it! Gonna steal that one.

[volstork]

26. Even better:

[DEbluedude]

27. ...

[catchnrelease]

33. One of my favorites

I love to send that to friends, it always gets a laugh. It's brilliant.

[volstork]

34. I printed it out and framed it

for a friend of mine who had just retired!

[catchnrelease]

42. That's really appropriate

Good one!

[samnsara]

45. i have never seen that saying before..

[catchnrelease]

47. I don't know the origin

I came across it sometime ago and stuck it in my 'meme' file, to pull out for appropriate occasions. I like that it's such a subtle and erudite sounding way to say it, lol.

[volstork]

73. It's a meme based upon the Bayeux Tapestry.

There are dozens, but this one is particularly funny.

[catchnrelease]

82. I knew it was based on the Tapestry

But I didn't know that there are others. Will have to check that out.

[volstork]

83. There are some really fun ones!

(And also some I don't get because I'm probably too old!)

[mwooldri]

72. Stealing. NT

[2Legit]

76. What a great way to start the day.

I'd never heard nor seen this before. It made me throw my head back with laughter.

[mcar]

36. She is a badass!

[MFGsunny]

62. Poetry on fucks left to give. Memorializing it for our family's future. n/t

[DLCWIdem]

5. WOW She's got balls

[bdamomma]

7. she's right

too.

[11 Bravo]

10. Actually, they're ovaries. But I'll be damned if she doesn't employ them ...

to kick a bunch of Republican ass.

[littlemissmartypants]

18. Yep, it's a gang. I'm a proud member. Here's the hand sign.

[Hekate]

49. LOVE IT!

I am saving that

[littlemissmartypants]

53. ❤ nt

[Delmette2.0]

30. Thank you for changing the verbage.

Ovaries and a uterus are much stronger than a pair of balls.

[Traildogbob]

14. Balls have proven to be useless.

She has ovaries. Large ones. Pence and Lindsay have balls, I assume. Useless. Ovaries are the big dogs. Stainless steel 3 pound nuptial implants would not help GOP men. Get em Nancy.

[DLCWIdem]

23. Yep. I missed it. I stand corrected. Ovaries of steel. 😀😉😃

[volstork]

28. Maybe....

You'd need an electron microscope to find them.

[MontanaMama]

24. I like to refer to her "balls" as

Iron Ovaries...and she. is. packing.

[mcar]

37. She's got ovaries

The traitors who committed treason last week have balls and who cares?

[niyad]

51. No, dear, she has OVARIES. Solid brass ones.

Masculine should not be the default setting for courage.

[Fritz Walter]

79. I think Betty White said it best...

[VA_Jill]

6. You go, Madam Speaker!

Kick 'em where it hurts....in the pocketbook!

[iluvtennis]

16. Exactly. nt

[notinkansas]

8. I wonder how many repub members are actually dependent on their House salary.

Can they just use campaign funds for personal expenses?

[Zorro]

12. Let's ask Duncan Hunter Jr. about using campaign funds for personal expenses...

[procon]

9. Lock them out. You can't even walk into a

Grocery store without a mask,why would the US Capital have any less safety standards?

[SeattleVet]

11. Need to extend it beyond the House floor

to the Capitol Complex, since the latest infections came not from the floor, but from the 'undisclosed location' where they were corralled together.

This is a good start, though, and well within her purview. The extension to the rest of the complex will probably require legislation.

[mjvpi]

25. $1000 fine is in place in Washington DC for public places. Just match that

[Blue_true]

59. I believe that she can control only the House floor and maybe offices.

The Capitol Complex is more problematic with McConnell still in place as Senate leader until VP Harris is sworn in.

[SeattleVet]

69. Yep, that what I said, too.

That's why it would require either working with the Senate, or legislation.

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. I applaud her for this action, but what is blocking her from making them mandatory

(and worn correctly) or no entrance?

[Rebl2]

15. Should

have been done last March!

[Thekaspervote]

17. And it's time!! Go speaker Pelosi

[William769]

19. K&R.

[littlemissmartypants]

20. I hope she makes the first offense retroactive. nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

64. +1

[riversedge]

21. Here's hoping that wearing it on their chin or not covering their nose will cause a fine as well.

43. Oh yes!

[DemoTex]

22. The most awesome, EVER!

[FakeNoose]

29. It's got to be enforced for the staffers and aides too

Let the staffers' transgressions come out of their boss's paycheck.

[mountain grammy]

31. Good for her.. enough of their bullshit.

[Cha]

32. Rt Boom! They should be

Kicked Off the Floor is there's a 3rd.

This is Serious Business.. nothing to fuck around with braindead trumps about.

[samnsara]

41. wow good for her. shes pissed...dont mess with Nancy!

[Cha]

56. Right.. so glad it's😷😷😷

finally going into effect!

[Cha]

57. YES, Congress should SUE!!😷😷😷

Jayapal, Coleman and Schneider. So far.

[Javaman]

35. I call her The Hammer. 😁nt

[Meowmee]

38. 👍🏻

Fines should be higher

[samnsara]

39. so is it 2500$ for every offense after the first?

[Upthevibe]

40. Kick....n/t

[BobTheSubgenius]

46. GOOD!

The fine here is $230 for the average person on the street (so to speak), which has a good equivalency to the amounts these people earn.

The top fine goes up to $2300....even more equivalent.

[SergeStorms]

48. Should have done that from the start...

but better late than never. You'd think republicans would have enough intelligence to protect their health and the health of others, but you'd be wrong about that. Small children know enough to comply, but the GOP is so contrarian to everything that's good for them, you have to hit them in the head with a sledgehammer to get anything done.

[Midnight Writer]

50. Perfectly justified. There is a Congresswoman fighting for her life right now because of the GOP

maskholes.

If I were a member of Congress, evacuated to a safe place, and ran into these Republicans refusing to wear masks, I would have surely been expelled from Congress for my actions in response.

People are dying by the thousands, and not wearing a mask around others is no different than pointing a gun in someone's face.

Your breath is a lethal weapon. Keep it under control.

[JohnnyRingo]

52. Lookin' at you Cruz and Gaetz

That's going to throw a helluva party at the end of the year.

If we'd had an F word jar in the Oval Office for the last 4 years, we could have paid off the national debt.

[DeSmet]

54. You know

It occurs to me Trump cant stand being told he's lost and we like reminding him but he slips into that "I really won" Big Lie denial of his. Better still to always remind him and especially his followers how Nancy cleaned his clock.
And that ovary thing up above that's pretty cool.

[cab67]

55. alas....

....most of these knobs have enough personal wealth that the fines can be seen as minor nuisances.

[Hotler]

58. Is there a "Mask must be worn correctly " claus??? nt

[Texin]

60. Good! Their implacable loyalty to dear leader is unforgivable at this point.

Let the devil take the hindmost.

[COL Mustard]

61. Excellent!!!

You go, Madame Speaker!!!

[dflprincess]

63. I hope she also starts fining the members who avoid the metal detectors

or get caught trying to bring a gun into the chamber.

[MustLoveBeagles]

65. This

[catrose]

66. Absolutely!

[crickets]

68. Yes indeed! nt

[Lasher]

75. It's already illegal to bring a gun into the chamber.

Any member can bring a gun to the Capitol but it must be kept in their office.

[Rhiannon12866]

70. Followup (Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman):
