There it is folks. That is how broken we are right now. These two women were bona fide in fear for their lives and the cop abandons them. What I an hearing is the Capitol Police force is the worst police agency on the planet, barely capable to write parking tickets.

Transactions tax not a wealth tax. A transaction tax and massive luxury taxes targeted at yachts and cutting the number of private planes by half. Add a CAT - carbon added tax.

We will have plenty of money for education and housing and health.

No. These guys deserve a lynch mob, under the Christian doctrine of "do unto others."

They have done it unto others, and it would be just if the same were done to them.

ATF regs say you cannot own firearms if you are a member of an organization that advocates the overthrow of the government.

You sign a certification to that effect every time you (legally) buy a gun.

Female, articulate, not subservient. Oh, and a damn red. Four strikes, she's out in LalaLand.

Less the four votes they rounded up as opposed to the social media presence and overall buzz.

No real legislative record (partnership with ol' skool Sen. Markey on the environment good PR, we'll see what comes or it.), don't know that her endorsement has gotten anybody elected.

But articulate, contemporary, and attracting positive attention for the Dems. And annoying to Rethuglicans. It's all good.

Mustering a handful of votes isn't pushing Pelosi anywhere.
