kpete's JournalThe GOP fired the Senate parliamentarian over reconciliation in a 50-50 Senate in 2001.
It was such a non-scandal that NYT's reporting on the GOP replacement was a 57-word stub on the bottom of A22.

Why people are broke...duh.
Brexit is a machine to generate perpetual grievance. It's doing its job perfectly
from: The Guardian
..........
It is frustrating for remainers who still crave a moment of vindication, when the fraud is proved beyond doubt and the tide of opinion turns. But for that to happen, Brexit would have to be measured in terms of trade and diplomacy. Those arent the leavers metrics. They long ago swapped economic argument for culture war bluster.
For the true believers, a good Brexit is one that keeps the grievance alive; that makes foreigners the scapegoat for bad government; that continues to indulge the twin national myths of victimhood and heroic defiance. Measured for that purpose, Johnsons pointless Brexit is perfect.

"Government Uses T-Word about the Oath Keepers"
Watkins and her confederates in sedition and insurrection are members of domestic terrorist cells that they and the Sedition Caucus call militias.
Some call it treason:
...Second, because the defendant has been indicted on an enumerated offense calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government, the defendant has been charged with a federal crime of terrorism as defined under 18 U.S.C §§ 2332b(g)(5). Therefore, an additional basis for detention under 18 U.S.C § 3142(g)(1) is applicable
