Regardless of the Hillary situation, bashing Comey only helps Trump and the Republicans.

Comey is a witness to obstruction. Lets keep our eye on the ball and not discredit him as a witness...buy the book nothing could make Trump and the GOP hellions more angry. Already on TV...this is being discussed. Trump is terrified of Comey...look at his tweets...we are too smart to fall for this shit.

House Republicans to vote on a balanced budget amendment...unlikely to get out of Senate

The House vote can't immediately cut social security or any entitlement. It needs 2/3 vote (which it may not get) in the house and the Senate. It also must be ratified by 3/4 of the states. It won't even get out of the Senate.

"WASHINGTON – The Republican-led House of Representatives will vote this week on a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, an effort to quell anger from conservative activists who say Congress presides over a ballooning debt and out-of-control spending.

Lawmakers return to Washington after a two-week recess, during which many fielded complaints from constituents unhappy with the $1.3 trillion spending bill Congress passed last month. President Trump grudgingly signed the measure but vowed never to support such a massive spending bill again.

"I had people calling me up saying, ‘I’m done, I quit, I’m not voting. I’m totally fed up,’ ” said Rep. Dave Brat, R-Va. Brat and dozens of other conservatives voted against the legislation and railed against GOP lawmakers who supported it.

House conservatives said voting on a balanced budget amendment could calm some of the ire, though the measure is not popular with everyone on the right, and it's unlikely to pass the Senate."

Why 17 Democrats voted with Republicans to ease bank rules/I am sick of Democratic bashing.

Seventeen Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to ease regulations on some banks.
Most of those Democrats face re-election this year, and seven are running in states Trump won.

Yeah, like he cares about DACA...he created it.


WASHINGTON -- President Trump says he is "considering" a veto of a giant $1.3 trillion spending bill, citing concerns over "Dreamers" and border wall funding.

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
I am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense,is not fully funded.

I saw Beto O'Rourke on MSNBC...very impressive guy. I thought he might be to liberal for Texas, but

I think he has a shot...very handsome and charismatic as well. Of course I am progressive so naturally I think what he wants is good, but the things he talks about would really help Texas and appeal to them...not at all what I expected after reading about him. I would just be so incredibly excited if we beat the asshat Ted Cruz.

I woke up to over a foot of snow in my driveway in Cortland Ohio.

I can't believe it. Daughter left the garage door open when she left. And the door wouldn't shut. I had shovel the garage in order to shut the door as the sensor was blocked. No one said anything about snow when I watched the 6:00 news. Lots of of folks with no power too...thankfully I still have power...ah spring!

Georgia teacher fired 1 shot through classroom window, police arrested him

So much for arming teachers. This happened the same day they voted to take away Delta's tax credit as punishment for standing up to the NRA.
