Vox cites this article on The National Journal which argues the Democratic senate supermajority passing Obamacare inspired the rise of Trump.
However, more accurately, the Republican GOP's response, which was to frenzy their followers into a grassroots movement against Obamacare, could be seen as the backlash inspiring Trump followers.

>But that wasn't the strategy. As Mitch McConnell, the leader of the Senate Republicans, told the Atlantic, "We worked very hard to keep our fingerprints off of these proposals, because we thought — correctly, I think — that the only way the American people would know that a great debate was going on was if the measures were not bipartisan. When you hang the ‘bipartisan’ tag on something, the perception is that differences have been worked out, and there’s a broad agreement that that’s the way forward."

When are Republicucks going to realize that they are their own worst enemies? Seriously, they don't understand even their own people, let alone those who don't have bigoted tendencies or know how to use a computer.
Calling it right now. Republican party will become even more splintered over the next decade. They won't unite behind their radical evangelicals, their traditional Conservatives, nor any Reagan ideals. Trumpism will rise and this will last for a decade or two. Maybe not a Republican majority, but it now has a semi-permanent home.

Ehh, I think it was more the ineffectiveness of those 2010 'Tea Party wave' Congressmen to do anything worthwhile except stall and obstruct whatever they could.

Authorities reportedly found marijuana, methamphetamines and a weapon at the 33-year-old's residence in Henderson, Nev., TMZ reported.
He was booked into Clark County Detention Center for the two charges.

I find it very hard to believe a shitty 3rd world country with rolling powercuts and malls full of empty stores has the means to make anything more sophisticated than a wet paper bag.
That VHS copy of Space Jam in Kim's private museum must be one hell of a prize if they're paranoid enough to be stocking up on nukes like they claim they are

A West Virginia woman who stood between her dog and a cop who was about to shoot it was acquitted by a jury of obstruction charges on February, 29th, 2016.
West Virginia state trooper Seth Cook testified that he was not afraid of the dog, but was following training that required him to kill all dogs that approach him, even if it was chained and wagging its tail as Buddy was doing in this case.
And because Tiffanie Hupp tried to stop him from doing so, she was arrested.
Hupp, 23, and mother of two, told Photography is Not a Crime that the cops weren’t even...

http://metro.co.uk/2016/03/06/knife-found-in-the-house-where-oj-simpsons-wife-was-murdered-5736500/ I don't understand American law. If the knife is covered in DNA and they can 100% prove this is the knife and he did it, nothing can be done? Can't he be put to trial for hiding evidence on an ongoing investigation and obstruction of the case?
>>27294
double jeopardy
>>27344
This means he cannot be tried for the same thing twice as far as I recall.
Personally I think it's bullshit because it's either the evidence that was missing, or someone is planning to lock him away for good once parole comes up.
Double Jeopardy keeps someone from being tried for the same thing twice. But all you have to do is bring up a new charge. Like you said, obstruction of justice, or conspiracy can still be charged against him if wasn't charged for it before.
