I am a dumb person that thought earmarks were used to hijack otherwise good bills. Why not having them a bad thing? Doesn't this promote debate on ONLY what is going to get passed instead of passing hidden items?

Basically cause earmarks is how you bribe fencesitters into supporting bills. It's not a great system but it's better than the system now, where all you can offer them is promises.

We need more video clips of Trump looking scared for propaganda purposes. I dont recall previous presidents ever having so many dives for cover.

I remember how during one of the debates with Hillary, they were able to wander around stage and whatnot, and now all I can imagine is Bernie creeping up behind Trump during a rambling stream of consciousness and yelling “BOOGABOOOGABOOOGA” in his ear

As someone pointed out in another tweet thread about it, techincally since it was on a phone call she wasn't present.

But yeah she should have the book thrown at her and that's probably not going to happen :sigh:

This was all scheduled well in advance, if there's any causality it would run in the other direction (Trump let himself off the leash more than usual because he knew this was about to drop).

Literally threatening a congresswoman over a bill meant to save lives.

The Daily Beast posted:

According to the complaint, Varnum’s wife previously told police that he owns “numerous guns.” He has registered just one: a .45 caliber Ruger pistol. His wife’s statement came in the course of another law enforcement encounter in 2015. Carroll County sheriff's deputies responded to a call from Varnum’s wife, who reported that her husband was having “behavioral issues.” When police arrived, an intoxicated Varnum had holed up in his garage with a rifle and a bottle of vodka, insisting that Taliban militants were en route to his house.

Yeah this dude is turbo-football-bat-grade hosed up and should be locked up for a long loving time. :shepface:

There is no nth dimensional chess. Trump knew this was coming so he immediately lashed out like he always does. If the goal was to burry these stories he would be starting his racist diatribe right now, not several days ago.
