Today in the Senate, Senators Pischke and Frye-Mueller attempted a nutty motion to convene a committee on discipline and expulsion to attack Senator Lee Schoenbeck for “Disparaging comments,” probably referring back to the whole investigation of JFM for her creepy comments to a legislative employee.
Obviously, the Senate saw through the stupidity more quickly than it took to write the motion.
Lt. Governor Rhoden asked for a second on the motion.. And asked again. To utter silence.
And faster than it arrived, the motion died for lack of a second.
Are we done now?
Done now? Not really. Hopefully, the voters of Dist. 30 will see that it is all about Princess Julie and Prince Michael and that they really don’t care about the voters and never have. It is about personal power and ANYONE who doesn’t agree with them is a RINO, even if everyone else in the Legislature doesn’t agree with them. As Princess Julie has said, “they are all RINO’s”.
Many voters in the District Numbered 30 are insaner than most, and will lash out with an ignorant vengeance. grudznick knows these voters, as they are my neighbors and I won’t let them on my lawn.
I’m confused – how did it not get a 2nd? If JFM made the motion, couldn’t Pischke have seconded (or vice versa)?
The motion under S8-1, required two Senators. As makers of the motion, they could not second d their own motion.
As Scott Hoy once said, “Stop, will you please stop.”
i believe the HaL9000 in 2001 said something similar. a thought – the second or third time you lean into something hard, you end up horizontal, flat on your face.
Is a side-by-side comparison between Lee Schoenbeck’s disparaging comments and Julie’s comments “off topic” here?
Why is Schoenbeck still concealing the identities of the “young” 34-year-old legislative employee and the in-laws she cited in her testimony? They’ve all harvested plenty of our tax dollars. Why wasn’t Julie allowed to cross-examine them? Does Schoenbeck know them?
Did Schoenbeck’s expulsion committee even require the employee to stand by her ridiculous accusations under oath?
It’s skirting the edge of being off-topic.
You can call it what you will, but the prior committee on Discipline and Expulsion was called and voted on and approved BY THE SENATE. And the portion of the testimony with the accuser was held as confidential BY THE SENATE to protect the victim of harassment. You can call it Senator Schoenbeck’s Committee, but Julie Frye-Awful’s censure was voted on and approved ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY BY THE SENATE in a 33-1 vote.
You might not like it, anonymous person, but Julie brought all of this on herself. If Lee has his name on a couple of motions, it’s because he was stuck cleaning up JFM’s mess.
Why in sam hell does it matter who the legislative employee is. YOU don’t need to know because people like YOU will harass her for turning in JFM.
AND
You don’t have to have intent when you sexually harass someone. She felt harassed and 97% of the senate thought she was also. JFM should have owner her actions, apologized, and moved on. She is looking like a more of a complete moron now!
“She is looking like a more of a complete moron now!”
Only now?
The senate’s censure doesn’t claim Julie “sexually” harassed anyone, and the legal definition of harassment does require intent.
I already know who the “young” 34-year-old legislative employee is, and who her in-laws are, and who her lawyer was, and I’d like very much to explain why it matters.
Then you can go start your own website, put your name on it, and talk about it to your heart’s desire.
Otherwise it’s off topic.
We don’t agree that Julie’s advice was “creepy” or that her accuser’s identity is off topic, but we presumably agree that this is your blog.
It’s coming back tomorrow.
but should it? no. this dog not only doesn’t hunt, it doesn’t eat, it doesn’t breathe.
That’s not an attack.
This is an attack:

Someone in Pierre who is a friend of mine said something incredibly observant on this entire matter which needs some thought. He said that this matter taking up a week or two in the time frame which usually involves power struggles between the House and Senate probably allowed some legislation to move forward on merit alone without the normal division occurring.
The two Senators should be commended for bringing the House and Senate together on legislation! 🙃
