BREAKING: Afghan War Was Never Winnable. We have been lied to for 18 years. Washington Post finally got the goods after a three-year FOIA lawsuit.

Trump To Kick 700,000 Off Of Food Stamps.  Oh, and he appoints a ‘Homelessness Czar’ who ‘tried to get cities to ban charities from feeding the homeless’. Yet not one Rethug has strayed from his side, except for Justin Amash, who got kicked out of the party for his troubles. They are a criminal enterprise, hence, ‘Rethuglicans’.  Hope that clears it up for all the trolls out there.

Trump Brings Out War Criminals As Special Guests At Fundraiser.  See above.

How Does A Saudi End Up Training At A US Naval BaseEven Trump Allies Have Questions.  Trump blames it on Obama in 3-2-1…

NRA Sues DNREC Because They Can’t Slaughter Deer With Semi-Automatic Weapons.  They may have a point in that DNREC is trying to do by regulation what might need to be done by legislation, which is why the General Assembly must ban these weapons. Too bad that Dave McBride, Nicole Poore, Dave Lawson, Anthony Delcollo, Cathy Cloutier, and John Fucking Carney won’t let us.

Several international corporate groups have pushed to ensure that in the event of Brexit, such safeguards are abandoned in exchange for a regulatory standard that conforms to the norms of the U.S.

The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, the lobby group that represents the largest drugmakers in the world, insisted that any U.S.-U.K. deal “must recognize that prices of medicines should be based on a variety of value criteria.”

The Biotechnology Innovation Organization, a lobby group for the biopharmaceutical industry, made similar demands in a letter to trade officialsfor the U.K., calling to do more in “shouldering a fair share of the costs of innovation.”

Craig Thorn, a lobbyist representing the U.S.’s National Pork Producers Council, told the Trump administration that the proposed U.S.-U.K. deal present a “historic opportunity,” citing his client’s desire to continue trade with the U.K. by evading EU restrictions on certain feed additives and antibiotics used widely on American pork

And that’s just scratching the surface.
