I almost fell off my chair!

I heard that the ass wipe in the WH was giving a million dollars to 'Harvey' my first thought was whose. Is he going to steal it from kids with cancer? Maybe take the kettles from the Salvation Army. What about a group that feeds the hungry. He could do it the old fashioned way and just 'forget' forever. The one fact of it is... it will not be HIS money! Oh, he could take it from his campaign fund. No, I forgot. That is paying for lawyers. There is always taking it from money already donated by caring Americans. There would only be a 20% to 40% handling charge. Does he actually think anyone ever believes anything that comes out of his mouth?

Has anyone else seen the ad using Ben Carsons name?

I saw most of it today. It was a commercial selling reverse mortgages. I didn't see his face but I am pretty sure I saw his name being used. First, as a currant secretary of HUD, is it legal for him to do this? Second, he has shown himself to be as much as a money grubber as tRump. That means he is getting paid. Has anyone else seen this? It was into the commercial before it sunk in to my conscious. If I didn't see what I thought I saw, I apologize for misinformation. If I did see what I thought, what the hell is he doing? There would be no way that it is legal.

It makes you wonder why

Last night I watched hundreds of people rally to try and protect so many about to lose their insurance. I saw people that were scared because passing that bill would be a death sentence to their kids. These people were putting out their heart and soul to do the right thing. Why... because that is what patriotic Americans do.
Then the cameras showed a rally in Ohio. Behind the embarrassment that sleeps in the White House are all these people. They are cheering and clapping. My husband commented "maybe they don't have to worry about their insurance". That led to the discussion about the hospitals and nursing homes. We're from a small town in NW Pennsylvania. The population in generally older. The young people have mainly left to find work. That hospital won't survive. The next closest is thirty miles away. That might not last either. The next choice is a little over fifty miles. The hospitals close and the doctors would leave. Like most little towns, hospitals employee a lot of people. The nursing homes, where do these people go? Not all of them are lucky enough to even have families. If the families were able to care for their elders, they wouldn't have gone to the nursing home. Where would they go?
All those people in Ohio must be so lucky. They must not have any situations in their lives that could be affected by this bill. They stood and cheered. They laughed at someone who went there to make difference. They have ignored their Governor and his warnings. Last night Nero went to Ohio and they watched him fiddle.
The people on the street fighting for insurance for everyone, thank you. Thank you maybe even from Ohio.

Has Mueller explored this option?

No matter how they have tried to deny and hide the fact, the RNC was hacked. Nothing has ever come out from that. Every mention has been denied. Here and there it has been brought up. Never pursued any farther. I have been waiting for the full story. This could explain so much about why the Russians never released anything. Blackmail! Why do you think the republican leadership has refused and worked so hard to ignore any connection between trump and the Russians? I used to think it was pure greed and power. I'm not so sure anymore. What would they have discovered in that hack? Released would it have cost them not only the power and the money but possibly their freedom. Whatever was hidden at all costs has to stay hidden. Were they given a choice? If you play ball... you can get more power and more money and whatever else that your heart desires. BUT... if you don't! Blackmail seems to be putins 'tool' of choice. Blackmail is the only explanation to what we have been watching for months even before the election.

Did you guys see Rachel tonight?

Oh my! First, I love her first seventeen minutes of every show. I usually learn something. Man, the detail requested in the letters to AG's across the country turned my blood cold. That was about an hour after I learned there is now a Russian radio station in D.C. A situation that wouldn't have been allowed in February. Oh yeah... that disgusting childish waste of air is meeting with putin. What do you think, putin says he's smart and the next week... Lenin is on Mt. Rushmore.

At least Honorable people are looking into the Russian thing.

What are we going to do about our vote. County by county, state by state we need to secure our ballots. Time is running short. It's a two prong approach. In this country they are making sure only the 'right' people can vote. From that country they are making sure they vote the 'right' way. Help, we need a plan.

WHAT IS CORRECT?

The talking point has been... 22 million uninsured. According to what I had heard somewhere and what I have read on CBS that isn't right. I've read in 2018, 14 million more would be uninsured. That number would 'increase' by 21 million in 2020. Then they say another 24 million in 2026. That would bring the total in 2026 to 52 million. They appear to be quoting the CBO. The ACA in the same time would show 28 million. So, who is correct? A more honest answer would mention the cascade of uninsured as time go on if those numbers are correct. Not letting people think they can kick another can down the road but what would begin to happen next year would be less cruel.

Oops!

I guess someone forgot to pack the super glue. That has to be the only way to keep him from saying stupid shit, GLUE HIS LIPS TOGETHER. Personal note, it works on fingers too.
Instead of the #1 word to describe trump being IDIOT, let's go straight to MORON.

A producer for the WH briefings?

It was just mentioned on MSNBC that the WH is considering hiring a producer for the press briefings. That has to be a joke. It is such a sorry state that I can't be sure.
Ok, lets make it simple. Before a press briefing, use a disclaimer. Something like "any answers may or may not have a basis in fact". Maybe "Incidents or accounts of incidents are not held to be based in reality". I am sure proper disclaimers could be written to cover not only the press briefings but every time the acting president opens his mouth. It could be considered a public service announcement.

I BELIEVE TRUMP!
