Rooney is one of rich conservative ideologues who was a party fundraiser before deciding to cut out the middleman and spend $4million of his own money last year to win his seat. But he’ll make it all back with the Republican Fiscal Vandalism Act of 2017.

Enemies of the state doing everything they can to earn their rubles. Maybe working on a commission based on how much damage they manage to inflict.

Is it really just a profound coincidence that Russian planes carrying Kremlin boys spend so much time in Florida?

But there could be a purge of GOP Reps after being indicted for conspiracy and obstruction they may already have lined up for them already . They keep helping with this investigations with their own public statements showing intent too.
