consequences?
You're not wrong. Manafort was nearly let loose without GPS tracking, went on to witness tamper; Gates was nearly freed for spring break; Flynn is headlining an alt-right conference; unremorseful Papadapolous gets 14 days; and the most dangerous admin offenders remain unindicted.

denying death in PR
My father died in Puerto Rico between Irma and Maria.
He died alone, without power, without his medication.
Fuck this fucking fuck and everyone who voted for him and enables him. To disregard human life like this is the lowest of his lows. https://t.co/WTuT6fQXOD

Oh Jr., you’re freaking out because Daddy’s in big trouble! Dude, we can smell the flop-sweat through our devices. And jail!? Gonna be weird. Ivanka’ll probably get off. And Jared.

I just watched Ben Sasse this morning vote down every motion by Democrats seeking the full record on Kavanaugh. He voted for repeal of ACA. Voted for every Trump-nominated judge – including the one the ABA-ranked unqualified & those who refuse to embrace Brown v Bd. He’s w/Trump. https://t.co/hbSbrF8LEd

Scott finally on PR
I disagree with @POTUS– an independent study said thousands were lost and Gov. Rosselló agreed. I've been to Puerto Rico 7 times & saw devastation firsthand. The loss of any life is tragic; the extent of lives lost as a result of Maria is heart wrenching. I'll continue to help PR

If you are a Democrat running for Congress in 2018, Paul Ryan just cut your best ad. He's PROMSING that if your opponent wins, they will strip away protection for pre-existing conditions and impose an "age tax."
Congrats!
