The eight Republicans are:Washington Rep. Jaime Herrera BeutlerPennsylvania Rep. Brian FitzpatrickTexas Rep. Will HurdNew York Rep. John KatkoIllinois Rep. Adam KinzingerNew York Rep. Elise StefanikMichigan Rep. Fred UptonOregon Rep. Greg Walden [More]

Fitzpatrick and Upton are also co-sponsors of the latest gun-grab attempt.

The betrayals will continue and spread until there is an effective organized  demand to purge the GOP. If that means a Democrat claims the seat for a while, well, no one ever said cancer treatment would be easy, but what's the alternative?

We're the Only Ones Pranking Enough

Patrol Deputy Resigns After Mailing Toy Bomb To Sheriff’s Office Lieutenant As Joke Causing Evacuation [More]

Some people just have no sense of humor.

It's a  good thing they let him resign though, as opposed to firing him, arresting him and prosecuting him on terrorism charges. This way at least he might be able to continue with his calling somewhere else.
