Conyers is 88 years old. Let him retire.

Conyers to Rice: “Make me a sammich!”

While I was a DOD employee, we had mandatory POSH (prevention of sexual harassment) training, yearly. It was taken very seriously in the workplace.
How do these slimeballs in Congress get out of it?

Speaker Ryan and prominent GOP leaders held a press conference Wednesday addressing the issue of sexual harassment and announcing an upcoming vote on a resolution that requires mandatory training for members, staff, and interns on appropriate and inappropriate behavior.

Basic instruction on how not to get caught messing with your staff.

“Speaker Ryan and prominent GOP leaders held a press conference Wednesday addressing the issue of sexual harassment and announcing an upcoming vote on a resolution that requires mandatory training for members, staff, and interns on appropriate and inappropriate behavior.”

This ploy will effectively immunize them against any claims made prior to the training. Is that a good thing?

Congress usually exempts themselves from laws that might cramp their style.

[SunkenCiv]

I’d say it isn’t likely.

I am not sure that immunity for past sins will be available as a consequence of training. Furthermore, I don’t think you can “unring the bell” in this area what will the continuing daily revelations of misconducts coming out. The people have got it now, and if both houses of Congress know what’s good for them, they will root out and expose all of it or have to face an electorate that has had it with “the swamp.”

It’s the War on Women!

Dosen't anybody have anything to black-mail her with?

So spaketh the Democratic leadership! :-)

[rrrod]

She a Democrat......never trust them

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

Actually, I'd be surprised if we don't soon see a viral GoFundMe effort to raise $27,000 to reimburse her if she comes out publicly.

[tflabo]

What a freakin’ loathsome soap opera the whole damn Wash DC Swamp has become.

[familyop]

Feminists are taking the final step to conquering the Democrat Party and owning it.

[ConservaTeen]

Jeez, I wonder if she would join the GOP. /s

I doubt it....

I didn't get my point across, obviously.

Training is futile, since we all know you're not supposed to grope the help. This is a bureaucratic attempt to "unring the bell", as you say - to look like you're doing something while doing nothing.

"Now that we're trained, we all see the error of our ways and we'll all behave. All that stuff that happened before is in the past, irrelevant."

Immunized.

“”Sexual harassment has no place in any workplace — let alone the United States Congress,” Ryan said.”

I agree 100%. this kind of crap was NEVER tolerated at any job I ever worked at, going all the way back to 1970 ...

[shotgun]

BINGO!

[vette6387]

“Now that we’re trained, we all see the error of our ways and we’ll all behave. All that stuff that happened before is in the past, irrelevant.”

Immunized.”

But not immune from prosecution was where I was going. I worked as a senior manager in several Silicon Valley Cos. They were aways doing this $hit, because their HR departments were run by liberal loons. The real problem is that it’s impossible to categorize human behavior sufficiently in these seminars.

Zuckerberg and the younger Democrats are simply using the sex abuses by the Democratic “old guard” as a way to non-violently clean house.

Out goes the ancient dinosaurs. In come the new generation of young Democrats to replace them. All from safe seats.
