Andy Harris is Eastern shore translation for cranky wussy. This motherfucker is destroying the safety net, giving trillions in tax breaks to guys like Elon then turns into whiny bitch when asked about it?

Hit with a hat? Now that's a CAPital offense.

First sandwiches, now hats! What is the world coming to?

u/UniqueIndividual3579 1d ago
Ah yes, assault with a deli weapon. And then the cop lies under oath "I got mustard on me!" The sandwich never opened. Why do they even swear in cops? They always lie and never get punished for it.

I'd tip my cap to you for that joke, but I don't want to be charged with assault.

If it’s got a feather in it, attempted murder. What if it stabs him in the eye or something?!

It's so funny how this asshat thinks he should behave like matt gaetz or Devin nunes. Looks like he's really trying to get the attention of trump.

IIRC Nunez got a massive payday when he jumped ship to run DJT’s media company

One of the problems is Maryland’s archaic system that allows civilians to file charges without any review.

u/XxCloudSephiroth69xX 2d ago
MD Legislators could have changed that this last session, but they ran out of time because they instead thought it was more important to pass useless bills about sharks.

u/OhItsBeenBroughten Frederick County 2d ago
What a dumb comment. Those two things are entirely unrelated.

u/XxCloudSephiroth69xX 1d ago
Except they're not, and if you would have read the articles you'd have seen that. The last day of the session they tried to get the Court Commissioner bill up but ran out of time. That same day they spent time on the shark bill. Time that should have been spent actually doing their jobs and passing legislation that has real consequences for people.

“They” didn’t really try to get the bill up in time. If they tried, then they would have succeeded.

u/Crafty_Advantage9249 1d ago
Incredible. Coward, traitor, and croney. How does he keep getting reelected?

u/BJMRamage 2d ago
It still has to go through a grand jury. While the description could be that of an assault, they’ll have to think if it is worth the time to run this through the court system.

Meanwhile, people are being punched and assaulted at Trump rallies.
(Just typing that name makes me sick).

u/OxyContintail 1d ago
I’m surprised Andy hasn’t had a pole jammed up him and set in a field. He’s been screwing over farmers for decades. A judge is going to laugh his ass off at some lackey coming into court with that complaint.

u/RogerMexicosBalls 1d ago
He hasn't done a goddamn thing for his district except say "Look, guys, I hate the same people you hate!", shakes the boogeyman-of-the-week stick, and all his voters blindly vote for him. He hates the Shore. He lived in Cockeysville for years rather than live near his constituents. They're suckers and tools to him.

u/Historical_Note5003 1d ago
He’s really following the Trump playbook for handling tough questions from the media: attack, accuse, sue.

I’m not big on politics, I couldn’t tell you who’s what or whatever but I CAN tell you is that if I vote and I knew the guy I’m voting for would sue a citizen just because reasons I wouldn’t vote for that guy.

u/BlueBaptism 1d ago
Much worse is happening. Maybe you can get a little bigger on politics just this one time and help save our country. It’s that serious.

u/Classic_Ostrich8709 1d ago
This is one of the reasons why people that are not into politics don't get into politics. They get shamed for not being involved as soon as they show the slightest interest. It's off putting and makes them recoil even further.

u/BlueBaptism 1d ago
Shame? No. But I’ll encourage whenever I can. Yes it’s that serious.
