Daddeh,

Meanwhile, numerous Republicans continued to avoid townhalls by hiding. Take Marco Rubio, for example. He went to France and Germany to talk to people about “Russian aggression in Europe,” but was unable to identify who he met or where he went.

I’d like to point out that this is 45's second attempt to poll on this subject, since the first time, (and I quote) “mainstream media outlets have viciously attacked it... and thousands of democrats have taken it to try to sabotage the results” according to the email he sent out to his mailing list.

Why are all the questions listed as “1.”

How the crap do you embed videos in comments? Asking for a friend.

Hey friends,

Ivanka Trump, champion of women, met with members of the House and Senate to push a $500 million child care tax benefit program.

Why can’t I star this more?

As a white dude in a white state that went for Hillary (narrowly :-\), the Chappelle skit on SNL where he watches the results with his white friends really nailed the point home to me. Until then, I had always been aware of all of these issues, but I had never really felt what it was like to look around in a crowd and…

Didn’t they tell you? Being held responsible is for PoC and poor people.

This is my favorite version of the video of McConnell being yelled at:

Thanks to gerrymandering, Dave Reichert covers a huge swath of land that streteches from parts of Seattle to super rural desert to the east. The super rural, small town of Cashmere help an ‘empty seat’ town hall. 400 people in a tiny town showed up. http://www.thestranger.com/slog/2017/02/22/24884014/wheres-congressman…

Tennessean here. Can confirm. She only allowed in a handful of people who had “tickets” for the event. There was an “alternative town hall” protest outside. She did everything but sprint through the crowd on the way out. She took a picture with one protester, gave some BS about how differences of opinion are great,…

I love the way that constituents handled those congress persons who did not do town halls:

Dave Brat (VA Rep who was able to oust Eric Cantor on the premise the Cantor was not conservative enough) barely gave notice about his town hall that was held over an hour away from the majority of his constituents, in a restaurant who’s banquet room holds 150 at capacity, and took 34 pre-submitted questions. He…

Oh yeah, it’s funny as fuck.

Asset forfeiture is something we should be banning, not expanding.

Freedom of Speech doesn’t protect you from another US Citizen saying “I don’t like the thing you are saying.” It protects you from the government locking you in jail cause you said that thing. The guy who tackled the flag waving racist went to jail and paid a fine. There was no government action against the flag…

freedom of speech sometimes comes with consequences, my good bitch.

I understand what you are saying, but I’d imagine that to a black person, a white guy waving the Confederate flag is a message of “I wish that you black people were once again property of white people.”
