So, no vote today and Trump has given the House an ultimatum, as he is "finished with negotiations" about the health care package. 7 years, 62 repeal motions in the House, while running their mouths non-stop, about repealing Obamacare and replacing it with something "better" After all that.....scrambling around with this half baked plan is the best they could do? With a majority in the House, Senate and holding the Presidency? As I predicted, folks in the WH already making statements about the poor job Ryan is doing - even before the vote. Designated scapegoat. Unless it goes through, then the Bigly Orange will of course, take the credit.

Because at some point "the evidence" would have to be handed over to the FBI and Justice Dept. That could get tricky, if you have none.....
-
Given the behavior of Trump's late Campaign Manager (Manafort) his late National Security Advisor (Flynn) current Attorney General (Sessions) and current Press Secretary (Spicer)........this Nunes business should come as no real surprise.....
-
NO Because the Donald is rapidly becoming the political version of a tar baby. (see interview link below) The Republicans still hold the House and Senate, and Pence is a perfect double vanilla cardboard cutout, to prop up there, while the Freedom Caucus boyos, aided by Bannon simply run wild. Also interesting to read Briebart (Bannon), the last little while, with the Rand Paul fanboys, calling the new health care plan "RyanCare" and setting Paul Ryan up to be the fall guy to take the blame if it goes under. Check out this interview by Time Magazine with Trump. Unreal, even by his "standards", but does give you a pretty good idea how he creates those interesting tweets. http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/23/politics/trump-time-interview-wiretaps-falsehoods/index.html

Donald Trump Jr. does a fly-by hit on the mayor of London, after today's terror attack. http://abcnews.go.com/US/donald-trump-jr-criticizes-london-mayor-terror-attacks/story?id=46313114 Real class.....way to respect and reassure your allies.

Check out the Wall Street Journal's editorial on Trump, today. WSJ is a somewhat right wing entity, given its ties to the financial and big business universe - they had taken the line that at least, Trump would be "good for business" Well, they have absolutely unloaded on him, as being in danger of being regarded as a "fake President"

Didn't see any quotation marks, in that statement........this is serious stuff.

Have been posting in response... to lies by Trump and his administration. Now realize that it is literally a 24/7 job. No longer a question of simply exposing the lie of the day, but actually having to select the most outrageous one.... from a pack of them. We now have Republicans of every stripe, resembling pretzels and clothes dryers, in trying to justify this stuff. FDR's 100 Days.....this aint. But it may go down in history, anyways....

In the immortal words of Wille Cicci "Oh yeah, a buffer. The family had a lot of buffers!"
-
Trump has already done a pretty good job of making key allies like UK, Germany, and Japan.....nervous and confused. Every time Trump or this administration says anything.....they need to wait to see if they can "take it literally", or consult a seer or Cudgee board, in order to formulate any answers. To say nothing of Israel (one or two nation solution? or the Chinese, given the conflicting statements about Taiwan...... Ignorance and bluster is the stock in trade, here.
-
Anyone watch the Sean Spicer Filibuster, today? Shape shifting, spinning. shuffling, channel changing, deflections, and deliberate obtuseness.....delivered rapid fire and non-stop, in a attempt to simply bewilder, exhaust or simply wear out the press gallery. A real trooper. Just don't attempt to apply any logic or rationality to any of it. This stuff transcends any of that.

On the bright side, in taking a closer look at the proposed Trump budget....plenty of useless entities would be cut. Arts including PBS funding Foreign Aid Diplomatic Service (State Department) Science programs and research Environmental protection Social programs for the working poor Agriculture - rural development and research grants Education - federal work-study aid to college students, grants for teacher training, after-school and summer programs, and aid programs to first-generation and low-income students Grant programs to state and local agencies, including pre-disaster mitigation grants and counterterrorism funding Housing - eliminates the $3 billion Community Development Block Grant program, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, the Choice Neighborhoods program and the Self-help Homeownership Opportunity Program $35 million of funding Community Development and Affordable Housing All funding for the 49 National Historic Sites Eliminates grants for Community Development Financial Institutions, which provide financial services in economically distressed neighborhoods This is only a partial list -there is far more that I can put in this post - but you get the idea. At least the US would have more military hardware, perhaps a bigly wall, and more rent-a-cops to push immigrants around. You know, the things that really count. Trump Banana Republic

He may not have to. There are enough deluded and (quite possibly) armed folks out there. As in at least 22,105.

Chris Jones Signs Vince Young: Brilliant or Desperate?

Riders fans have 220 page thread on Young, and a 140 pager on Franklin. The wishful thinking is strong. -

Other than past performance, his age, time away from the game, and off field judgement.......plenty of upside here -
Hey, he is only Trump's top counter-terrorism adviser........not sure what the concern would be.

As far as Young ever getting back to the NFL.... Not exactly a stampede for his services. 100 other potentially washed up guys accepted for this camp. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2390889-vince-young-not-accepted-to-nfl-veterans-combine-latest-details-and-reaction -
Yes the DNC need to clean out some ole time hacks, right at the top (do have some new ones now) and Clinton ran a lousy campaign and plenty of the Sanders people sat it out....... But while the Dems fiddle..... you have the carpetbagger and the tea baggers, as well as Bannon, with a cabinet of billionaires hand picked to "deconstruct regulation and agencies" A potent and dangerous brew, indeed ....to say nothing of healthcare ( or the upcoming push back on it) Scott Pruit, head of EPA.... challenged its regulations in more than a dozen suits. Also thinks global warming is a hoax. Andrew Puzder nominee for Labor Secretary....., operated companies that low balled on wages and faced allegations of labor abuse. However the undocumented immigrant domestic worker in his basement, put the kibosh on his nomination Trump’s FCC Chairman Ajit Pai is known for being an outspoken critic of the net neutrality rules. Of course the FCC has the authority to block major media mergers, revoke broadcast licenses and regulate Internet providers. Rick Perry, Trump’s pick for energy secretary, proposed to eliminate the department, while running for President in 2011. National Security General Flynn.....Russiaphobe - between his junkets and covert meetings with the Russians on Ukraine and lobbing efforts with Turkey (which the WH lied about - big surprise)....was wondering when he might of spent some time on actual US security Overall, a lot of ths is not a new Republican strategy (see: Bush administration), but never implemented to this extent. In the end we know who profits (key word) from that. And no, not working class Americans.
