President Trump admits he’s trying to kill Obamacare. That’s illegal.
The president has a legal obligation, under Article II of the US Constitution, to “take Care that the laws be faithfully executed.” The question is – who is going to hold him to that. The pessimistic, post-November-2016-Jason330 says…nobody.
Trump’s Unhinged Health Care Remarks – Annotated
Health care is moving along. That was a subsidy to the insurance companies and a gift that was what they gave the insurance companies. Take a look at where their stock was when Obamacare was originally approved and what it is today. You will see numbers that if you invested in the stocks, you would be extremely happy. They have given them a total gift. They have given them — you can almost call it a pay off. It’s a disgrace. That money goes to the insurance companies. We want to take care of poor people and people that need help with health care. I’m never going to get campaign contributions from the insurance companies, but take a look at how much money has been spent by the Democrats and by the health companies on politicians generally, but take a look at the coffers of the Democrats.
This is lies and incoherent nonsense, wrapped in gibberish. It is tempting to go into some details about how the subsidies were central to the Heritage Foundation’s plan to keep insurance companies whole, but what would be the point? Trump says the subsidies were an example of shady deal making by the Dems. Like the total fiction that Iran was “given” billions by Obama. The truth simply doesn’t matter to Trump or his 35% lunatic brigade. Although one would hope that out and out lies would matter to the “media” …hope springs eternal.

Trump Caught Lying About Presidents And Dead Soldiers. He then mused about how talking to the families is the hardest part of his job. Raise your hands if you think he’s ever consoled any Gold Star family. Does anyone think he personally wrote letters to the families? A sociopathic narcissist. BREAKING: Trump’s Drug Czar Nominee […]

On this day in 1965 the first draft card was burned to protest the Viet Nam War. Somehow we still managed to win the Cold War. (..then lose it 50 years later by electing an agent of Russia to the presidency.
Obama staying out of politics because it might “arouse” Trump’s base
I just heard David Axlerod say something close to the above headline on CNN. It reveals a sickness in the bones of the dying Democratic Party. The strategic calculus of “not getting involved” with issue “Z” because it “might” excite the passions of the excitable lunatics on the right, is just stupid. The excitable lunatics […]

Manafort Had Serious Russian Money Behind Him. At least $60 mill from one Russian oligarch. Explain to me how Donald Trump identified this Russian operative as the person to run his campaign?

I simply don’t get why ‘Morning Joe’ Loves Coons
Coons appears regularly on ‘Morning Joe’ and I just don’t get why. All he ever does is restate whatever conventional wisdom the panel has already gathered around. He puts on the aires of someone getting ready to say something important, which always gets me to lean in, and listen up.
… then nothing.
It is weird. Consistent and weird.
