Are congress members exempt from EEOC laws?



The employer will be liable for harassment by non-supervisory employees or non-employees over whom it has control (e.g., independent contractors or customers on the premises), if it knew, or should have known about the harassment and failed to take prompt and appropriate corrective action.


We're all watching in real time as a number of outspoken seditionists continue to bully, threaten, harass and intimidate fellow members of Congress. If that's not a hostile workplace, I don't know what is.

Who is in charge? Who is responsible for getting the situation under control?

Florida woman fatally shot after pointing gun at man

This story perfectly illustrates the insanity of our gun laws, gun owners, and our justice system:

An Orange City woman who was also a Volusia County librarian was fatally shot Saturday after she pointed a handgun at a man whose motorcycle she had earlier hit and the man returned fire.

Morales drove to her Wisconsin Avenue home after she hit the motorcyclist (Andrew Derr) on Volusia Avenue/US 17-92.

The motorcyclist and two other witnesses, who did not know each other, then followed Morales to her home in attempt to help identify her for police, Sampsell said.

Once at the home, Morales exchanged words with Derr and the witnesses and then went into her house and came back with a gun, the lieutenant said.

"Morales pointed a handgun at the witnesses and Derr," a press release states. "Derr having a valid Florida concealed weapons permit, drew his concealed handgun and fired multiple rounds, striking Morales."

The motorcyclist/shooter hasn't been charged yet, but it'll be interesting to see who is allowed to stand their ground? The woman who was killed was 5 months pregnant.
