HEs been charged with assault. Word is that so many voted early this might not matter much.

Guys, a sitting VPOTUS once killed the former Treasury Secretary in an illegal duel and the criminal charges were dropped. You're all getting your panties in a twist over a sucker punsh. They used to happen every so often each year for a long, long time in politics, and likely with the press too - look up some historical quotes made by American politicians about the press. While I'm not advocating for them, and I'd like to think we've moved beyond such acts, but let's not pretend this is the worst thing to have ever happened in the realm of politics.
Monday was the 161st anniversary of a member of the US House walking into the Senate and savagely beating a US Senator into unconsciousness with his walking cane, over of all things, racial issues.

ALL IS WELL
NOTHING TO SEE HERE
Not at all surprising to see anyone defend someone assaulting someone else over a disagreement.
These are the same folks who want to spend money to kill other people as opposed to saving our own. And are ok with us giving secrets to thugs who run a country.
The hope that we got past who is the toughest wins an argument is still here- as opposed to logic and reason.
Yay.
The world certainly needs more thugs.
The speed we are heading toward Idiocracy is accelerating.

Isn't this development good for opponents of the bill, though? I thought they needed to show a substantial savings in order to get it through the Senate without worrying about a filibuster?
Actually, no.
The best thing that could happen to opponents of the bill is for the Republicans to ram it through. Republicans have been running against and winning because of Obamacare for the last 7 or so years.
The Democrats can destroy them if they pass this bill. And when they do they can put Single Payer on the ballot and they can INSIST on Republican votes for it's passage. No Republican votes, no passage. That will keep the issue alive until the entire Republican party is destroyed.
WASHINGTON — Betsy DeVos, the education secretary, on Wednesday fiercely defended budget plans to spend $1.4 billion on the Trump administration’s expanded school choice agenda, but refused to say whether her office would withhold funds from private schools that discriminate against students.
But Ms. DeVos said states, not the Education Department, would decide whether to withhold federal money from private schools that are neither required to serve a diverse pool of students nor held publicly accountable for doing so.
She offered similar reasoning when asked whether schools that received voucher money would be required to uphold special education students’ due process rights.
“If a parent chooses to go to a school that is not a public school, then that is a decision made and a contract made with that provider,” she said.
The education budget calls for cutting about $9 billion, or 13 percent of the department’s funding, from about 20 programs, including the Special Olympics for students with disabilities, after-school programs for low-income students and programs for gifted students.
Here’s the key paragraph in the CBO’s newly published report:
CBO and [the Joint Committee on Taxation] estimate that, in 2018, 14 million more people would be uninsured under [the House Republican health plan] than under current law. The increase in the number of uninsured people relative to the number projected under current law would reach 19 million in 2020 and 23 million in 2026.
“We’re going to have insurance for everybody,” Trump said. “There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.” People covered under the law “can expect to have great health care. It will be in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better.”
