That's a nice line, but not quite. Science makes predictions, and the reliable ones become accepted as descriptions of the universe. The elements they're describing don't gain validity.

Pressed From His Right, Speaker Yields on a Budget Showdown (Published 2013)
Speaker John A. Boehner surrendered to demands that he tie money to keep the government open after Sept. 30 to stripping President Obama’s health care law of any financing.
You might remember under Obama that the republican caucus, at least 80 republicans, shrugged off Boehner to force a bill to strip funding from Obamacare to be attached to paying our debts and paying government workers.
So, a minority of Republicans pushed to have things combined, which Republican leadership was actively resistant to, even though the things they wanted to tie together were totally related (addressing ACA funding in the funding bill makes significantly more sense than addressing the codification of same-sex marriage in the funding bill). You're proving my point.Pressed From His Right, Speaker Yields on a Budget Showdown (Published 2013)

Does your back hurt from moving that goalpost? Or do your feet hurt from the tap dancing you're doing?
It's a wonder he can manage to pat himself on it so often.
By your own logic, since this was absolutely predictable I must be right.Me said:
It was neither not Republicans nor a one time slip. It was related to the bill. Funding is related to the funding bill.
The "goalpost" was "totally unrelated" from the beginning. Nothing has moved.
K. How about the deeply unpopular REAL ID Act being attached as a rider to a funding bill on... defence and tsunami relief?
Or the bill allowing corporations to more easily share and monetise consumer data being attached as a rider to the consolidated spending bill?
EDIT: Also, to be frank, you know perfectly well that attaching a deeply contentious provision to a bill that is absolutely required to pass to stop the government shutting down is the shittiest possible use of the rider.

Uh, all electronic transactions are recorded and trackable.
What changed is that Visa and MasterCard now have purchases made at gun shops in their own category, rather than "general merchandise" like they used to.
Yeah but the transaction is still going to clearly state the trading name of the dealer and presumably their business number. A change of category isn't going to mean much if the transaction still shows at being from a firearms store.
Thank you. I am aware there are times Republicans tied things together. Honestly, I surprised the user insisting Republicans are as bad couldn't actually find one good example. Like, it's not exactly the same thing, cause you're talking about times things were added to bills to get the things passed, and the Democratic schtick is doing the opposite, adding poison pills to bills that would otherwise have bipartisan support to make Republicans vote against them, but you did succeed where crimson failed, I'll give you that.
It's literally there. You can read the thread post by post. The post that started this tangent has the word "enrelated". The request to crimson to give one example factually says "totally unrelated".
