House Republicans introduce OMAR Act to ban campaigns from paying candidates' spouses

Rep. Ilhan Omar criticized for paying husband's firm $2.8 million in 2020 cycle

House Republicans introduced Friday a bill to stop federal candidates from adding their spouses to the campaign payroll, dubbing it the OMAR Act, which probably isn’t a coincidence.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, Minnesota Democrat, came under criticism last year for paying her husband’s consulting firm a reported $2.8 million during her 2020 reelection run, prompting conservatives to file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission.

She told supporters after the election that she would cut ties with E Street Group, headed by her husband Tim Mynett, to avoid any “perceived issue,” but the sponsors of the legislation said that the problem is bigger than any single candidate.

“For too long, lawmakers of both political parties have engaged in the ethically dubious practice of pocketing campaign funds by ‘hiring’ their spouses and laundering the money as campaign-related expenses,” said Rep. Tom Tiffany, Wisconsin Republican, in a statement.

The Oversight for Members and Relatives Act would prohibit candidates for federal office from compensating spouses who work on campaigns and require disclosure of any direct or indirect payments made to spouses or immediate family members, including children, parents, siblings and in-laws.

“Loopholes that allow members of Congress to funnel campaign funds to their spouses are despicable and erode trust in our government,” said Rep. Mike Gallagher, Wisconsin Republican. “There’s simply no logical reason for allowing this practice to continue, and I’m proud to join Rep. Tiffany in this common-sense effort to ensure members can’t profit off running for Congress.”

At least two top Democrats could be predisposed to support the measure: A similar measure sponsored by Rep. Adam B. Schiff, California Democrat, was approved by the House in 2007 with the support of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Sorry to hear you’re having trouble.

Did you try your mobile data if you have it?

If so, you could turn your phone into a hotspot and connect your phones WiFi connection.

Then you’d know if it was your computer or your ISP.

>>53994

I wish there was some good news. Reporting / collecting the news isn’t fun these days.

Meh. Trying to keep positive but it ain’t easy.

>>54006

Your WiFi router will have one internet connection and your phone will have another.

So by testing your pc on your phone network, you can bypass your router WiFi and see what happens.

Can you access 8kun on your phone ok?

>>54006

>>54008

That’s if your phone has a data package and isn’t connected to your home WiFi.

>>54013

Understand.

I do it so that we can get the news out, as Q said ‘you are the news now’, and ‘news unlocks the map’. And so that the board has good, up to date content and reportage. That’s great when good things are happening, but damn it’s hard going just now.

>>54024

Those are the Int threads we have on MR.

Maybe the titles should be changed rather then they be removed from the dough.

>>54021

What do you think Tom?

The int threads on MR are numbered with old QR thread numbers.

>>54027

Now all the MR int threads have been removed.

We’re trying to get anons here.

>>54030

Baker, hang on.

I don’t think we’ve decided to remove the MR international threads from the our dough.

>>54033

Kek

What’s killin ya?

>>54036

I think this headline is misleading baker.

>>53944, >>53946, >>53947, >>53948 Jason Miller and Gab re: PDJT's Gab account. It's a mirror of tweets and statements

Miller is saying it’s a fake acct, Gab is saying it’s a mirror operated by Gab.

POTUS hasn’t posted on it. Ever. Gab mislead everyone by not stating before last night that it was Gab who posted a few days ago.

Suggest -

Miller: @RealDonaldTrump on Gab is a fake acct. Gab: Its a mirror operated by us

>>54039

Cool.

So I think anons are saying that QR is on Germany #?? number now and the MR thread is on #EarlierNumber, amd that this is confusing anons.

Idk if the aggregators are pulling our int threads. Anyone know?

Otherwise we could change the titles to #1 or have no number.

>>54040

Noted.

Thursday is good here.

We used to bake class at Thursday at 7pm est and it worked for everyone.

>>54044

Think that’s the issue, that Gab didn’t make clear it wasn’t POTUS posting, but the ww media reported he ‘had returned to SM on Gab’ and Gab didn’t say anything until last night, after Miller said it wasn’t DJT who posted.

Gab are saying ‘it’s a mirror’, Miller is saying ‘it’s a fake acct’. If it’s a mirror it should say it on the tin imo, on the page, or under the tweets, - Posted by GAB

>>54047

Nb here bro.

I can do 7pm est although earlier would be better. Just suggested that time b/c it worked for everybody before. Good it works for you then.

>>54041

>>54051

>>54030

Roger that.

Just checked, and qresearch.ch are not picking up MR international threads.

So if the titles are changed it won’t make any difference to that.

It’s just the general threads we have to let qresearch.ch and wearerhene.ws know about if we change them.

>>54060

I think that’s the confusion.

The first link is to the QR international thread.

The second link is to the MR international thread.

We want to get people here, which is the reason for having int threads on MR.

They shouldn’t really have been taken out without a discussion. Dough playing again.

The MR UK thread is still in our catalog but there’s no link to it.

The others probably still are as well.

So we’ve gotten rid of the MR international thread links and kept the QR ones. Smh

>>54060

These aren’t missing.

See where it says MidnightRiders on the thread title? That means it’s a MR thread.

If the link still works and is green in our dough, it’s still on our catalog.

>>54069

>I don’t get it

That’s why I asked you not to change the dough.

>>54070

Wouldn’t have to fix it if you hadn’t change it.

>>54072

It’s NOT A WONG LINK.

Look in the MIDNIGHT RIDERS catalog.

We have international threads in it.

OUR dough linked, or did link to them AND the QR int threads.

2 boards, 2 sets of int threads, 2 links.

>>54077

I see the convos about updating the links and numbers for the QR int threads, as you’ve posted the link to.

The second number, the second link, links to the MR int threads, on the MR catalog.

I haven’t seen any convos about removing the links to the MR threads until tonight.

What you’ve posted is good. Thanks.

Balkan, Brazil, Nihon, Portugal, Russia we don’t have these on MR so the >after the first QR link can be removed.

And we can talk about together on Thursday.

>>54080

It’s ok. I think the confusion is there are 2 links.

When QR update it’s fine to change their link.

What I was saying is that the second link, which links to the MD Canada thread is kept.

>>54082

Ok, but whatever number QR are on, doesn’t mean we have to change our thread numbers.

QR can be on #44 and we can be on #1 - we are different boards.

QR are on general #88888 but we’re not.

Doesn’t mean we change our general threads to match theirs.

>>54084

>this take you to Canada number 14

>>>/qresearch/12841735

This is a QR link.

>>14

>takes you to canada number 9

This is a MR link

Both are different threads. Both are correct.

>>54091

So if anything’s a mess, take it to the office.

Please don’t change anything w/o discussing it.

>>54091

The title is Canada but the text is Netherlands, right, it needs correcting.

Doesn’t mean you delete it from the dough.

>>54077

>>54101

This list is good for the MR links. I’ve just checked the local (MR) links which look like >>thread number

and they’re fine.

Haven’t checked the QR links but I guess they’re up to date in this list >>54030
