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.
