It’s not just THOSE 2 senators! The Gov. of AZ has declared an opioid emergency. If Flake and/or McCain for to take healthcare away it will only get much, much worse.
I just sent an email to my Gov and asked that he call Flake and McCain to say NO to the AHCA..he has said that we have an opioid crisis that needs to be cared about. If he is serious, then he needs to be against anything that would stand in the way of helping these people. We shall see if I hear back!
With this move to dismantle the change in our relationship in Cuba that took years, a president, a pope, and countless officials to achieve, it is more and more evident that the only thing that motivates 45 is his desire to destroy everything that PBO did. His feelings of humiliation from the 2011 WHCD and the fact that PBO ignored him as well as his jealousy of the president’s popularity no matter what he and the msm did, are the reasons why he is willing to hurt millions here and around the world. An ego that consumes everything and everyone but is still not fed enough. In the end, it will be this unfettered ego that will bring about his downfall and that of the swamp rats who surround him.
Come through.
Broadway and Hollywood are learning that they can make money with stories told by Black and multicultural casts.
I know nothing about this graphic novel series, but I will go to see it. I wish this had been around back in the days when I took my nephew to see movies; I know that it would have had a positive impact on him.
O….M….G!!!! Was he throwing shade or what?!?!?! And in the midst of the shade were some sensible truths that would mean something to someone who is sincerely trying to “make America great(er).”
Fox interspersed his name throughout, so maybe if he watches it, it will hold his attention.
I love it!!! I hope the MSM picks it up and plays it OFTEN.
Here's New York's @SenGillibrand delivering some truth: "If we're not helping people, we should go the fuck home" — Kristen Gillibrand pic.twitter.com/CUzf15vePY
“For years when his party was in the minority, McConnell employed the procedural speed bumps at his disposal to slow the flow
of Obama’s nominations to the federal court system. When Republicans claimed the majority after the 2014 elections,
the flow slowed to a trickle.”
“Back in 1994, McConnell lamented to the conservative Heritage Foundation that Republicans hadn’t used the filibuster enough:
“I am a proud guardian of gridlock. I think gridlock is making a big comeback in the country.” https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016182858
Mitch McConnell the man who broke America: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016182858
Politifact in 2013 reported:
Prior to President Obama’s term the total number of presidential nominees filibustered in the history of the US = 68.
During President Obama’s term the number filibustered by GOP = 79.
Here is the content of the Senate Trumpcare version they want to pass. As per usual we have been lied to again. This is simply a rehash of the House version of Trumpcare. Spread it around so people can discuss it when they call. This comes from Andy Slavitt, the project manager for the ACA under Pres. Obama.
There was once fanfare & promise that the Senate would "start" AHCA over. Now it's much of the same.
That should go without saying, and to hell with it: The Dems should grab any and every opportunity to point out the relative NOTHINGBURGER that was used to impeach Clinton, as well as the bullshit that had the GOP using the mic to put the idea out there for PBO.
I have had a nagging and recurring thought about the weakening of America via the sickening of America. If Americans are not able to afford and have access to healthcare, they will become desperate and sick and we will become more vulnerable as a nation….I am thinking of Russia. If the head of the Dept. of Ed has plans to take from the Dept and make sure that education is for the few, this makes us weaker and less about to know how to think critically in needful, stressful times.
If the EPA is not held accountable and we have someone in charge that is a climate change denier, this makes us weaker and sicker as a country…
If we have an entire political party that is willing to take the basic right of good health away from the citizens of the country, we have problem. We will have a sicker, weaker, more desperate and a more easily led astray group of people, willing to do just about anything to save themselves or their family member. This is a terrifying scenario to me. Think of the implications…even far beyond what I’ve mentioned. Stay woke. Stay engaged.
df, your legitimate concern is well stated and thoughtful. What you have written is not just a scenario, it is currently happening throughout the world, including parts of the United States.
Of course! Just further goes to my thought about great minds leaving this country and the weakening of America….still grateful for their work, no matter WHERE they do it:)
???? She’s a nutjob, like her boss. Who does this as a Communications person for the WH, for crying out loud! Aside from looking like she just rolled out of bed and threw something on, she’s nuts and unprofessional.
I know that they are relieved to have a chance to do the real work for justice that they did under Holder, Lynch and other directors who took the job seriously. He will have a stellar line-up who know where all the bodies are and will help him to dig them up. I know that the day to day, indeed hour to hour news about how the country is being destroyed and the worst elements of it given supremacy, but there are all types of groups investigating, working on law suits, leaking vital information that is underpinning the overt work of resistance. Think how methodical PBO and his team were, so much so that 45 has not been able to dismantle things as easily as he thought. Those who are working behind the scenes to use the law to bring down the deplorables in charge will be just as methodical. Those working on our behalf are much smarter and do what they do out of a higher calling, Those on the other side are motivated by ego, greed, fear and hate, traits that historically, bring about their own destruction and sooner than many thought. Just a look at the history of our my lifetime (post baby boomer) gives me confidence to know that this reign of terror will be brief because there is nothing to sustain it in the long run.
many points were raised during Director Comey’s testimony.
I found it very intriguing is that Director Comey stated that he spent an hour or more talking with PBO about the issue of race.
Director Comey seemed to imply that this was the longest one-on-one conversation he had with PBO.
I thought this comment would be of some interest to people who are concerned about race relations and especially in the context of law enforcement.
I may have missed it but I do not recall anyone following up on that part of the testimony.
….. of course I know that there are many other issues that arose out of the testimony;
…… but personally this was an issue I thought could get more discussion given the current importance of the debate (and changes happening) on race relations in the context of law enforcement.
Yes, I remembered when Comey stated that this was their longest conversation, and at the time, it struck me as a very interesting point – one that probably would not get a lot of attention due to the current circumstances. But glad others are noticing as well…
Morning, arapaho:) Which only means that they have lied, yet again, when they said that they didn’t have business with Russia….Been doing business with Russia and Russians FOR MANY,MANY YEARS
Just going to put this here.And step away. He needed to retire YEARS AGO!

Secretary of State Tillerson’s missing alias emails:
UP TO SEVEN YEARS of emails written by Tillerson under the alias “Wayne Tracker” may have been erased.
NY’s AG Schneiderman claimed that Exxon-Mobil’s climate change accounting was a “sham” under Tillerson (CEO).
Tillerson’s alias emails subpoenaed as part of the investigation into Exxon investor deception about climate change. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/08062017/exxon-climate-fraud-rex-tillerson-erased-wayne-tracker-emails-witness
Tillerson broke his Senate confirmation agreement to stay out of EXXON business when he and Trump presided over a signing agreement ceremony between EXXON and state-owned Saudi Basic Industries (photo available).
Tillerson at his confirmation hearing: “If confirmed as secretary of state, I would recuse myself from those issues… on any matters that might come before the State Department that deal directly and specifically with ExxonMobil.”

Congrats Tally! i thought I was going to ran away with Gold but you squeaked by me!
WTG, Tally!
The dirty GOP are going to sneak ACA repeal when we are busy with Comey. We have to stay woke!
I love that you posted this, Nerdy. You literally may save someone’s life…WE ALL NEED TO SAVE SOMEONE’S LIFE! CALL.
Hear! Hear!
Thanks for ALL OF THIS INFO! Eternal vigilance is the price of our health and safety.
Thank you, Judith…Hit McCain, too…if you will…although he might be asleep. He had a busy day yesterday being confused and incoherent.
He seems like a lost cause these days, but I will try.
He has always been worthless. With Cindy wanting a job with the State Department, count on him to ignore what is good for the American people.
It’s not just THOSE 2 senators! The Gov. of AZ has declared an opioid emergency. If Flake and/or McCain for to take healthcare away it will only get much, much worse.
HATCH is another one way past his prime. Waaaay past time to CLEAN OUT Congress.
I just sent an email to my Gov and asked that he call Flake and McCain to say NO to the AHCA..he has said that we have an opioid crisis that needs to be cared about. If he is serious, then he needs to be against anything that would stand in the way of helping these people. We shall see if I hear back!
I also sent him this: http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/healthcare/325030-gops-obamacare-replacement-would-make-opioid-crisis-worse

Oh. My. God. You have to watch this to the end. Fox PULVERIZES Trump on every level!
IT IS EPIC.
I’ve never seen anyone snatch that ugly orange wig like Fox does in this video. He touches on all his scams. WOW.
Love it!
Isn’t that wild? He really went for the jugular!!
O….M….G!!!! Was he throwing shade or what?!?!?! And in the midst of the shade were some sensible truths that would mean something to someone who is sincerely trying to “make America great(er).”

Thanks, ranman. This is the kind of thing that keeps me awake at night, or wakes me from a sound sleep. This can not become the norm.
Making US weaker….if the scientists are leaving….
May be bad for us but good for the planet. People have a right to go where their talents and voices will be appreciated.
Of course! Just further goes to my thought about great minds leaving this country and the weakening of America….still grateful for their work, no matter WHERE they do it:)
Good morning, good people.

Robert Mueller is building his own de facto Department of Justice by stealing Jeff Sessions’ top people
I know that they are relieved to have a chance to do the real work for justice that they did under Holder, Lynch and other directors who took the job seriously. He will have a stellar line-up who know where all the bodies are and will help him to dig them up. I know that the day to day, indeed hour to hour news about how the country is being destroyed and the worst elements of it given supremacy, but there are all types of groups investigating, working on law suits, leaking vital information that is underpinning the overt work of resistance.

Spot on:) This is what gives me hope:)
Yes this is truth. Mueller hasn’t said a word. His actions speak much louder.
Good Morning Everybody.
Just seeing them makes me feel better.

Huh.

Interesting. Need to mull this over for a bit and will come back with some thoughts. Thanks for pointing this out.

Ice Cube said what needed to be said. I hope Maher LISTENED…
Two PBO- related books I have on back-order from Amazon have actually *INCREASED* in price since I first placed my order..
1) Pete Souza’s “Intimate Portrait…”
2) EJ Dionne Jr’s “We are the change we seek: speeches of Barack Obama”
Demand for PBO is SKY HIGH!!!!
Good thing we all bought them early!:)
