But privately, some Republicans have complained about the venue choice. Sources said Speaker Mike Johnson selected the Greenbrier Resort because it was “family friendly,” in a break from past retreats which have taken place in sunny Florida – the preferred location of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Family Values^TM^

Lol, what did they expect to happen when they made the religious nut speaker? They're lucky it's not Ned Flanders Bible Camp lmfao

How did I not catch that part of the article. That's in my state.

If they do all show up, our average IQ will drop at least 15 points for the duration of the retreat, and we don't really have any to spare.

I only know about this from Fallout 76, can you go in the top secret government tunnels these days?

Greenbrier is really nice too. But yea, no debauchery is gonna happen there considering there’s really nothing remotely nearby. But the tour of the military installation underneath is really fucking rad.

It's also an odd thing to act like Congress needs to go some place that is family-friendly, whatever that means. Aren't these functional adults?

It means no extramarital sex or drugs. Generally other workplaces would call it a more professional environment
