He's one of the few that seems worse than mine, Rob Portman. 

I like your ideas and am interested in your newsletter.

I'd go further and say Congress shouldn't be paid unless they pass a budget. Which, based on the last 40 years, they'd get paid 1/10 years. That's some savings for the deficit!

Lindsay Graham would like to hear more about this concept.

He wishes he was half as cool as those guys.

It does when you think migrants are equivalent to wild boars, and Trump may put boars higher.

As an Ohio resident, who has voted for Brown, I have to say - no. Just don’t bother. He’s a pretty bland, left-leaning, old white guy. His most important quality is that he isn't a Republican, and that's not much of an endorsement.

Its thanks to the votes of the good, hard working Americans. The salt of the earth. You, know, morons.

There really should be one line item in the ledger.

Don’t forget the response he’ll get from his supporters:

He’s started the “I didn’t say what you have me on tape saying many times“ point.

Omg, how dare someone change their opinions between their early 20s and mid 30s. Does she need to address it? Yes. And it sounds like she’s taking a pretty honest approach about it.

I wonder if Manafort's lawyers didn't make a deliberate mistake with that. I have a hard time believing he'd hire attorneys that dumb, but maybe with his assets frozen he did. Or maybe it wasn't the attorneys but the paralegal they had doing it. 

I'm waiting for him to compare it to her emails!

Or set up a company to over bill for work to avoid taxes. I mean, what’s wrong with the average American these days?

It’s Mitch McConnell shutting down the government. Trump can huff and puff all he wants. Congress can pass a budget, let him veto it, and then override his veto.

How about we let AOC finish a term in the House, or even just through a month, before we crown her the savior of mankind? I’m glad she was elected, I like that she’s stirring things up (even if I don’t agree with all her politics), and I'm glad someone who wasn't groomed for office is there. But she's also not even 30

If the argument for Wall! is to prevent deaths, are there programs with a higher benefit for the same cost? Drug rehab? Health care access? Addressing obesity? Drug research? Give away the flu vaccine? Gun control? Defensive driving training?

Maybe he can get a job at deadspin.

It makes me nauseous to see people like Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, and Mark Meadows act like they’re the “original tea party”. The original movement was more libertarian, and wanted some fiscal responsibility in Washington. Now, it's the alt-right whackos who try to get their way, but no actual policy.
