Ryan Zinke thinks it is “unfortunate” that Members of Congress won’t get executed for exercising their First Amendment rights.
Rep. Ryan Zinke on Democrats reminding troops that they're obligated to disobey unlawful orders: "It is sedition ... if those congressmen were in George Washington's army, they would've been hung. There's no doubt in my mind. But unfortunately, they're not in his army."

"When a state exercises its authority to define corporations as entities without the power to spend in politics, it will no longer be relevant whether corporations have a right to spend in politics — because without the power to do so, the right to do so has no meaning."

Unrestrained migration has had devastating consequences for the American Worker.

Not only does Trump have no idea how insurance works, but it sure seems pretty anti-capitalist to outlaw insurance companies, confiscate their funds and redistribute it to the public.
Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.
