While the bump-stock ban bugs me in principle, I'm not worried just yet that it is camel nose under the tent. It's a throw-away, for practical purposes, and avoids a fight over that detail.
I am sure, if the fight was over semi-autos, the fight would be real, and the scope of civil disobedience (not violence, just refusal to abide by the law) would be near total.
They aren't going to rat each other out.
I would like to see your US vs Japan reality based scorecard circa Dec 8th 1941....
Kristine Marcy is the only sibling of Field McConell. Field says she’s ‘rolling over’ and turning herself in.

She’s on my radar now. Not that I can do anything about her. But good to know who she was.
the 2 moves before it and at the end look like “castling”, but what do I know

It was Dec 24 2002 when Laci Peterson disappeared it was May of 2004 when Scott went to trial 2 1/2 years later.
Lies move fast real justice takes time.
Any relation to Wayne Radtke of the tangled voting mess, can’t recall the name right now.
Hear! Hear! Occasionally I have had to take a break, pray, get myself calm and accept that I can only continue to learn, and be open to the truth. The community here is such a good place to discuss ideas because we all have such varied interests and skill sets.
I am reminded of the Stone Soup Story. We are making Stone Soup here, and it just gets more and more complex, but very nourishing.
Plenty of examples of heavy handed action that came public, and a good rule of thiumb is for every one you see, there are at least a hundred you don't.
Easy. All revenue/spending bills start in the House.
They pass an AUTHORIZATION (permission to spend, like you give your kid permission to spend $10 this week in his allowance) bill.
The Senate then passes a similar AUTHORIZATION (permission).
Say, they authorized 50 F-22 fighters at (just guessing $1.6billion).
The USAF now has authorization to spend up to $1.6b, but STILL DOESN’T HAVE ANY MONEY.
Next the House passes an APPROPRIATIONS bill (actually providing the money). The Senate does the same. (So you actually give your kid some money, but usually not all at once).
So they appropriate half. The House & Senate get updates and reports. USAF says, “Oh, we’re having mechanical issues.” Well, then the House & Senate say “We won’t APPROPRIATE any more until you fix these.”
Like your kid was given $5 of the $10 for the movies . . . but instead bought a joint with it. You say, “I’m not giving you the rest of your allowance until I know I can trust you.”
If you look at the LINES in the Omnibus bill, they are AUTHORIZATIONS. Trump cannot just spend willy nilly or diert money from the USAF to the Wall. House won’t APPROPRIATE it, and if he did it, he’d be impeached.
I believe the actual program was “Able Danger”, not “Abel Danger”.
So is this fake?
TODAY’S EMAIL FROM DJT: interesting.. hype for money after you complete the survey, of course...

“2018 is our chance to elect TRUMP ALLIES to the House and Senate who will give you the agenda you voted for. No more obstruction! We want what we voted for!
But it cannot happen unless we put up GREAT candidates who stand by our values and prove to America that they have the fire to fight to Make America Great Again!
So I need you to tell me what qualities YOU want to see in 2018 candidates by taking my “GREAT Candidates Survey” right now.
So many political “geniuses” out there would call up some overpaid “consultant” in D.C. to figure out what the people want.
I have a better idea. To find out what the people want, let’s ASK THE PEOPLE. Doesn’t that make sense?
That’s why it’s so important that I hear what you think about the kinds of allies you want to see elected in the CRITICAL 2018 midterm elections.
So please take my GREAT Candidates Survey immediately.”
Look, serious question: Almost all of last year we did not have a budget. We had a continuing resolution.
If it has to be in something called a “budget” or otherwise the Pres can just spend what he wants, why didn’t Trump build the wall first thing last year when he had no “budget?”
(Hint: he can’t. It has to be APPROPRIATED).
