GOP Hang Themselves Instead Of Obamacare

Trump suggests Republicans will let ACA market collapse, then rewrite health law
As divisions between the two main ideological camps within the GOP widened Tuesday, Republicans were scrambling to contain the political fallout from the collapse of a months-long effort to rewrite former President Barack Obama’s signature domestic accomplishment.


Republicans have spent decades trying to destroy Hillary & the past 7 years trying to destroy Obamacare. All they've done is prove their ineptness.

Day 179 of the Trump Presidency

70% of Americans in new ABC News/WaPo poll say Pres. Trump has acted in an unpresidential manner
President Donald Trump’s behavior as commander-in-chief has unnerved respondents to a Washington Post/ABC News poll, 70 percent of which said he has acted in an unpresidential manner since assuming office last January.

Wow. Election Hacking May Just Be The Tip Of The Iceberg.
To understand the scale of the hacking attempts against election systems in the 2016 presidential election, consider South Carolina.
On Election Day alone, there were nearly 150,000 attempts to penetrate the state’s voter-registration system, according to a postelection report by the South Carolina State Election Commission.



Of course Trump got asked about the biggest story in France — his son’s collusion with Russia. [clip of Trump] “He took a meeting with a Russian lawyer, not a government lawyer, but a Russian lawyer. It was a short meeting. It was a meeting that went very, very quickly, very fast.” Welcome to Trump’s America, where morality is measured by speed. Because it was over quickly, it wasn’t wrong! It’s like a five-second rule for your soul. - Stephen Colbert



Need a reminder of the human cost of a dictatorship? All these are journalists who criticized Putin--and died under mysterious circumstances.

The outgoing leader of the federal government's ethics office warns in a new interview of the ethics crisis created by President Trump, saying he thinks the country is "pretty close to a laughingstock."
“It’s hard for the United States to pursue international anti-corruption and ethics initiatives when we’re not even keeping our own side of the street clean. It affects our credibility,” Walter Shaub said ...




Then Trump held a joint press conference with newly elected French President Emmanuel Macron. Trump invoked America’s long history with France: [clip of Trump] “France helped us secure our Independence. A lot of people forget. France is America’s first and oldest ally, a lot of people don’t know that.” Nope, just you. WE know. Gave us the Statue of Liberty too, remember that? - Seth Myers

Is TIME sending us a subliminal message?


Russian-American Lobbyist Says He Attended 2016 Meeting With Donald Trump Jr.
A Russian-American lobbyist says he attended a June 2016 meeting with President Donald Trump's son, marking another shift in the account of a discussion that was billed as part of a Russian government effort to help the Republican's White House campaign.
Rinat Akhmetshin confirmed his participation to The Associated Press on Friday.


As a graphic designer of  forty+ years, I became curious about the TIME cover. I first viewed it from a distance on TV. It looked as though the words on Jr.'s lip and nose, was cocaine. And the other white highlighted words are curious also. LOL  Kudos to the TIME art director and graphic designer.
