YES! The Hastert Rule is THE SOLE REASON the House did not pass immigration reform in 2013-2014 when Boehner had every opportunity to pass immigration reform. Even factoring out the pedophilia (which you shouldn't), he did just as much damage as Gingrich did.

They have no idea what it means. I would love to see them try to define it. But of course they won’t. They are not using it in good faith. It’s basically just oogabooga oogabooga here’s a bogeyman!

This admin is hiding the full number and extent of soldiers' injuries. Plus soldiers and family members have told the AP that failure to recognize the seriousness of injuries, a poor plan to get the wounded to hospitals and red tape has hindered follow-up care. apnews.com/article/iran...

1200 sexual assault reports in 6 years. That’s 1 every 2 days. Only 7 resulted in an expulsion or dismissal. Only 14 resulted in a suspension. Cornell is a rapist factory. Drive it out of business. Also, only 5-13% of college women who are assaulted report it. That’s 5-6 assaults a day.

Walking 15 miles from Central Library to the beach was supposed to be solitary — then I met L.A.
What begins as a solitary quest to connect two historic public libraries turns into an unforgettable lesson on connection, human kindness and the heart of Los Angeles.
