Why doesn't Hillary say I Will Fix ObamaCare When Dem's take Control, No Obstructionist!



The Cost To Our Economy From Republican Obstruction And Sabotage

The Republican political strategy has been to obstruct efforts to help the economy for everyone but the wealthiest few, and then campaign on complaints that the economy isn’t helping anyone but the wealthiest few. It’s working.

In President Obama’s July 12 weekly address he said, “So far this year, Republicans in Congress have blocked every serious idea to strengthen the middle class.” He could have said, “Since 2009.” Since the 2009 “stimulus,” Republicans have obstructed pretty much every effort to help the economy. In the Senate they have filibustered hundreds of bills, and since the “stimulus” they have managed to keep anything from passing that might help the economy.

In the House, Republicans have refused to allow votes on anything that seriously would help the economy, instead passing only tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, spending cuts on essential things like maintaining our infrastructure and scientific research, and cutting regulations that protect people and the environment from being harmed by corporations seeking profit.
Republicans have blocked every effort since the stimulus to maintain infrastructure, hire teachers, raise the minimum wage, give equal pay for women, stop special tax breaks for millionaires corporations (especially oil companies), stop tax breaks for sending jobs out of the country, provide student loan relief, help the long-term unemployed, and more. Instead they insist on even more tax breaks for oil companies and billionaires, on cutting environmental protections, deregulating oil companies, and so on.

This has gone on for 8 years and they will not hear a nomination for the supreme court, I think its still a running coup on democracy making it a one party system without normal rules.

Carville Blows Up On MSNBC Anchor: Our Democracy Is Under Assault By Comey, The KGB And Republicans

Source: Real Clear politics/MSNBC

CARVILLE: He was acting in concert and coordination with the House Republicans. End of story. He gave a letter to them. They gave it to FOX News. Also, we have this extraordinary case of the KGB being involved in this race and selectively leaking things from the Clinton campaign that they hacked.

So American democracy is really under attack here. And the question is how are we and in particular and how are Democrats going to respond to this. We have to understand this is really, really quite extraordinary. And it would seem to me that the FBI shouldn't be getting rolled by the House Republicans and that's what happened here. There is nothing going on and in the meantime we do know that our democracy is under assault by the KGB. To me, that's something we ought to be talking about. That's a relevant issue in this campaign. And people have to decide do we want our country for ourselves with the people in charge or are we going to elect the the KGB and the House Republicans to decide this election.

1 Reason Trump Will Not Release Taxes LIES about Donating to Charity


Trump boasts about his philanthropy. But his giving falls short of his words.

There was then-Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani (R) and former mayor David Dinkins (D). TV stars Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford, who were major donors. And there was a seat saved for Steven Fisher, a developer who had given generously to build the nursery.
Then, all of a sudden, there was Donald Trump.

“Nobody knew he was coming,” said Abigail Disney, another donor sitting on the dais. “There’s this kind of ruckus at the door, and I don’t know what was going on, and in comes Donald Trump. [He] just gets up on the podium and sits down.”
Trump was not a major donor. He was not a donor, period. He’d never given a dollar to the nursery or the Association to Benefit Children, according to Gretchen Buchenholz, the charity’s executive director then and now.

Vote for Trump because he is Best liar of all even when it comes to Charity!

No Reasonable Prosecutor Would Bring This Case Hillary Clinton Email CSPAN



FBI Director James Comey Opening Statement on Hillary Clinton Email Investigation (C-SPAN)



Nothing has changed, Republicans want her head on a platter, just like going after Bill for Monica Lewinsky its not whats good for the Country its whats good for Republicans to have and keep as much power as possible. Bush then destroyed the country at every turn, so its not about country its about POWER!

They spend more time going after Hillary on Benghazi rather than time fixing what went wrong as a political vendetta, We can not allow these people to take power again until they put Country in front of POWER!

Stocks sink after new email review tied to Clinton

Source: CNN

A market rally fizzled after news hit that the FBI is looking into new emails as part of its investigation into Clinton's personal email server.

The review comes just 11 days before the election.

At one point the Dow was down 125 points from its highs of the day. But the market rebounded as more information came to light, including that the new emails come from the Anthony Weiner probe. The Dow ended the day down just 8 points and the S&P 500 closed 0.3% lower.
Investors had been pricing in a solid Clinton victory. Now there's some doubt.

"Hillary Clinton's news has taken the wind out of the market rally," wrote Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at Think Forex in a note to clients. "This certainly increases the chances and odds for Trump winning."

When you have President “TRUMP”



How long until he is Impeached?

How long before he looses his temper and starts a War and then Nuke's a country that insults his hair?

How many times a year will he pass out from holding his breath when mad?

How long before President Trump inc moves into a Trump motel and over charges the tax payers for his stay?

This will be a a very interesting time before end of days or Armageddon that I am sure he will start!

23 painful facts about the Cubs, Indians and the longest World Series droughts ever



The 2016 World Series is one of the rare sporting events where reality actually exceeds the hype. The length of time fans in Chicago and Cleveland have been waiting for a World Series title is staggering and no amount of interviews with 103-year-olds or crazy stats or pictures of what baseball looked like in 1908 can do it justice. But we'll try. Here are 23 fun (but painful) facts about the Cubs and Indians before one franchise alleviates decades (or a century) of suffering.

1). It's been a longer timespan between the Chicago Cubs winning a World Series and today (1908-2016, 108 years) than there was between the last Chicago Cubs World Series and the presidency of John Adams (1801-1908, 107 years).

New Emails in Clinton Case Came From Devices Once Used by Anthony Weiner

WASHINGTON — Emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server were found after the F.B.I. seized electronic devices once shared by Anthony D. Weiner and his estranged wife, Huma Abedin, a top aide to Mrs. Clinton, federal law enforcement officials said Friday.

The F.B.I. is investigating illicit text messages that Mr. Weiner, a former Democratic congressman from New York, sent to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. The bureau told Congress on Friday that it had uncovered new emails related to the Clinton case — one federal official said they numbered in the thousands — potentially reigniting an issue that has weighed on the presidential campaign and offering a lifeline to Donald J. Trump less than two weeks before the election.

In a letter to Congress, the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said that emails had surfaced in an unrelated case, and that they “appear to be pertinent to the investigation.”

Mr. Comey said the F.B.I. was taking steps to “determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation.” He said he did not know how long it would take to review the emails, or whether the new information was significant.

Hear we go again, last ditch effort to screw Hillary Just another bump in the road to plow through

Hear we go again, last ditch effort to screw Hillary

Just another bump in the road to plow through or ignore without any more information.

Hillary ahead in the polls must be stopped with another so called scandal. When on gods earth would anyone take wikileaks emails seriously when none can be verified. Hillary want him in prison, Trump would give him a metal.

If trump wins the country will see what corruption really is and extremely dangerous times after Bush nearly completely destroyed from banking to wars to near depression will now be on the horizon again and could be horrifying worse.

Trumps 1st Giant Lie SELF FUNDING BS to Win Nomination Hedge Funds $70 Million

Wall Street Fundraiser Says Donald Trump Raised $70 million

With far more raised from hedge funds than has been earlier reported. ... A $70 million haul would make July Trump's best fund raising

Scaramucci says that other notable hedge funders who have donated significant sums to Trump’s campaign efforts include Carl Icahn, Tom Barrack, and Stephen Feinberg. In fact, Trump’s chief fundraiser and head of his national finance committee, billionaire Steven Mnuchin, is himself a hedge fund manager.

Scaramucci says hedge fund managers have donated as much as $25 million to the Trump campaign and political groups supporting the candidate, with around 20% of the money Trump brought in July coming from hedge funds.

http://fortune.com/2016/08/02/donald-trump-july-fundraising-wall-street-hedge-fund-hillary-clinton/

Trump played into the millions being dumped into campaigns as if he was not going to take the money, people have been snookered by this clown who is a professional salesman of lies. Trusting trump would destroy this country more than Bush and thats saying something.
