A protest letter from RNC Chairman Reince Priebus to NBC News Topper https://gop.com/nbc-letter
Mr. Andrew Lack

Also keep in mind that both 112th and 113th congresses were among the least productive ever as measured by the amount of legislation passed, with filibusters and other parliamentary tactics used frequently.
A New World Order
It looks out of order from here, but consider this... Each moving point on this map represents 25 people and corresponds to one busload with every other seat taken.

He insists on mentoring newbie agent Liz Keen who may be his daughter and whose husband, Tom, is a double agent. This show grew TO BE confusing and overloaded with extraneous characters, some bailed out @ Season 2.
One confusing show in my opinion NBC "Black List" https://youtu.be/8k6QIx971LM

Fans say: "Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game."
