Oh gotcha, my mistake. Still; Devos is in the line of succession.

For the record even in By Dawn's Early Light, they only get (incorrectly) down to the Secretary of the Interior.

Seriously Sec Ed becoming President is too much of a stretch for Twlight 2000 and Harpoon Scenario writers.

Just read at least this part of it.

quote:

Earmarks, the simultaneously hated and beloved DC tool that lets lawmakers direct money to specific programs and projects, may be coming back.
House Republicans are re-opening their debate on earmarks, six years after they banned the practice that became the target of ire among conservatives and tea party groups.
Step one: Call them something else.
"For anyone to use the term earmarks, that would be at least a six-year-old term. The term that is used is congressionally-directed spending," House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions said Tuesday.

Sessions, R-Texas, said Tuesday that Republicans are weighing an option that would let them control spending related to Army Corps of Engineers projects. Sessions said that he and House Speaker Paul Ryan discussed earmarks with Republicans Tuesday morning at their weekly meeting and will take up the issue again Thursday.
Critics of the ban say that removing the ability to wheel and deal on items specific to individual lawmakers -- from parks to major projects -- has fed into the gridlock that has beset the Capitol in the last six years. It also gives more power to the executive branch to control where money is spent.
"I think the Republican leadership will find that it's a good form of disciplining, in terms of what people want," said Rep. John Larson, a veteran Democrat from Connecticut. "I also think in terms of members, especially, to be able to go in your local museum or your local municipality or your local hospital comes to you with a concern where they otherwise can't come up with themselves, this is a good outlet."

I don't know how well that would work. It depends entirely on how much dirt the IC has on Flynn and the other members of the campaign/administration.

I could see Flynn trying to hop on that grenade and only get a fraction of the actual evidence and charges assigned to him.

Good. This would go a long way in re-moderating the two parties because earmarks kept the entire political apparatus working.

Everybody had something to gain by voting for the spending bill, so things that weren't contentious like "Keep the government working" passed.

Take that away and the only thing you gain from compromising on any sort of bill was the knowledge that you'd be primaried by a lunatic who called you a traitor.

He then unprompted listed southeast Asian countries he had not had relations with a he-she in. Short list

Seriously, though, it is disgusting to say and it really seemed unfathomable a year ago. I want everyone gone and President Paul Ryan is the most palatable outcome.

I used the fluff combined with modified West End Games rules for simplicity's sake, which was good because by the end of the campaign my players were dropping napalm on lovecraftian horrors from blimps

Well at you least got to play a TW2K game...finding people who want to play it is kind of hard. Did find a guy who converted it to GRUPS 4 though. TW2K and Shadowrun had the best source books though. Shadowrun ones are just legit fun to read as they did really nice world building for the whole Nueromance Lord of the Rings knock off that it was.
