Five people were detained during a health care-related demonstration at Sen. Dean Heller’s Las Vegas office this afternoon, according to Metro Police. They were expected to be released with unspecified citations, Officer Larry Hadfield said. The rest of the group dispersed.

Pictures of the demonstration show people holding a cloth banner that says “HELLER Stay Strong SAVE MEDICAID.”

“Senator Heller always values the opportunity to hear directly from the people he represents, and he welcomes their feedback because it helps him do his job best. He is proud of the constituent services operation he has built, and he will continue to always listen to the voices of Nevadans,” said Megan Taylor, a spokeswoman for Heller.

This is the second time this week Metro has responded to Heller’s Las Vegas office.

Reading George Saunders' "Pastoralia" -- this excerpt reads like a memo from the current White House

OK: This is the bottom line: ALL repukes cared more about winning than in protecting the Republic

Who votes for these traitors??? The pukes KNEW that our democracy was under direct attack, and determined, hey, that's actually GOOD for us pukes, so let us all just ignore this attack.

Benedict Arnold in his grave is all like, "Dayum, you pukes are hella treasonous. Thanks for making me look like not such an asshole after all."

Does putting Ivanka in the WH help make her subpoena proof?

Is this correct: that the Congress can't subpoena certain members of the WH staff, nor the prez., because of separation of powers? I'm wondering if that is part of the gambit for giving her an office in the West Wing? I for one would sure love to have her in front of an open committee explaining just WHAT THE HELL exactly she was doing in the Crimea last summer with one of Potty-poots girlfriends.
