If they slept on the sidewalk, the CBC would be fine with it.

Yep. These guys “sleep” in the office for other reasons. No doubt.

How about a Congressional barracks or no frills apartment building for the little sweethearts?

Of course if it had been the CBC that came up with the scheme they would cry loud and hard against any effort to throw them out of their free lodging. We can be sure that members who sleep in their offices are hard at work doing the people’s business rather than cavorting with the night life of DC.
Libs are masters at building ant mounds into mountains. Ridding the Capital of all personal services such as restrooms, gyms, showers, cafeterias, chairs and tables would be consistent with these paragons of virtue who would insist on cleanliness in all things.
I am certain the majority could find some extreme inconvenience to heap upon the loyal opposition. Tit for tat.

I don’t see any indication that any CBC member slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

The states should provide dormatories for their congressional caucii so they have a clean safe place to sleep. They should also do this so the SOB’s don’t keep raising their own salary to buy a friggin house in DC

Throw in 24/7 anklets to record everything for their term.

“Members who sleep overnight in their offices receive free lodging, free cable, free security, free cleaning services, and utilize other utilities free of charge in direct violation of the ethics rules which prohibit official resources from being used for personal purposes,”

Haha. Black people complaining about people getting free shit. That's a first.

The CBC want reparations.

From the article

Some CBC members also suggested that if the committee gives a formal green light to the practice, the House should provide lawmakers a per diem to help with living expenses

The Democratic critics argue that the behavior is unethical and beneath the dignity of the office. They also say it is unfair to the hundreds of members who choose to live outside the Capitol paying Washington’s high living costs.


The Democrats could do the same thing *if they choose*.

They criticize the behavior because it makes them look bad.

It is hard to believe they come up with such insane arguments. If more Congresscritters rented or purchased in Washington, the prices would go up.
