Future terrorist were created from the killing of Al baghdadi. Todays ISIS is the result ....

... Iraq's 2003 invasion by Bush.

Trump reported that 3 of Al Baghdadi's 11 children were killed in the raid. What happened to the remaining 8? Will they become the terrorist of the future?

"Baghdadi [the ISIS leader] was evil. Under his leadership, the Islamic State beheaded hostages and violently imposed the worst sort of theocratic rule wherever its caliphate could be established."

"While Americans celebrate Baghdadi's death, they should also think critically about his life — and see it as a cautionary tale against U.S. meddling in Middle East affairs."

AM Joy Podcast for Sunday10/27/19. Sounded like a propaganda station for Trump.

Joy was not on the show today but the replacement praised Trump for the raid that killed Al Baghdadi.

I usually listen to the podcast at bedtime. Not tonight. I lasted less than 15 minutes. Joy's fill in and the White House correspondents praised the president.

They made the point that he outdid Obama with his four-sentence report compared to Trump's 50 minutes of detail.

Al Franken podcast reviewing the history of ACA (Obamacare) AND where does it stand today & in 2020?

Two points to start off.

1. Healthcare in the US including a brief history of the ACA since it passed in 2010. A great "inside baseball" review of the facts about the ACA and its troubled path as seen from the former Senator Franken's inside experiences. Franken discusses the many attempts of the GOP to repeal the entire plan. Franken and his guest offer predictions about its future in 2020 and forward. If you or a loved one relies on ACA / Obamacare please continue and share this with others.

2. Former Senator Al Franken interviews Andy Slavitt. Andy Slavitt is the individual that was hired to fix the embarrassing crash of The Affordable Care Act (ACA Obamacare) at its introduction in 2010. Franken and his guest review the history of the ACA and make some predictions of where it will be in 2020. Please listen to the Al Franken Podcast in the link provided below. Franken's often humorous stories about the behind the scenes details of the maneuverings of the GOP to kill the ACA makes the listening worthwhile.

A final personal note. Senator Franken's detailed knowledge and grasp of the status of worldwide healthcare systems make his absence disheartening.


Thank You for bearing with me in my first attempt at starting a new thread. Apologies if it isn't in the right forum. I decided not to post it in the Democratic Primaries forum although it does have connections to the 2020 election.

Marco Rubio is right. Hold the Attorney General in Contempt of Congress and demand he should resign.

This could be the best news I heard since being told my cancer is gone.

Please let it be so.
Please rid the country of it's cancer. The Trump family and his adminstration.

WI GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos threatens to take power away from Tony Evers before January

Wisconsin GOP legislative leaders are threatening to restrict the newly elected Governor Tony Evers.

Apparently they don't believe in "Let the voters speak". We spoke and kicked out Scott Walker and his AG.

The North Carolina legislators tried this move in the pass, when a Democratic Governor was elected, and failed.

PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE.

An open display of the respect for life. All life.

Inherent compassion. Obama had it. Jimmy Carter had it. Beto has it. It's what the country needs in it's leaders.

I would like to think that that is true. I hope it is and I hope she is reminded of it everyday...

..... for the rest of her cowardly miserable life.

She doesn't deserve any less. One NO vote and she could have retired with a place of honor in the history books of Americans.

But this is how most Americans will remember her.

Senator Flake just agreed to a one week delay BEFORE the floor vote for an FBI investigation.

Source: Live TV coverage of committee vote.

That would seem to suggest that he will vote NO from the floor if he does not get the one week delay he has asked for.
One Week no longer. And only the FBI investigation to cover those questions already raised.
