Nixionian Paranoia Emerges. Big Time.

Donald Trump warns Robert Mueller not to probe his family's finances 
Donald Trump has warned his special counsel from looking into his family's finances beyond the scope of his investigation into Russian interference in last year's election.

Republicans are between a rock and the public. But they don't know it.

Trump: ‘Let Obamacare Fail…I’m Not Going to Own It’
President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would let Obamacare "fail" in the aftermath of his party's botched efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
"I think we're probably in that position where we'll let Obamacare fail," Trump said at the White House. "We're not going to own it. I'm not going to own it. I can tell you, the Republicans are not going to own it."


It is hard to overstate the level of failure here. The GOP crushed their car at 90 miles an hour into a cliff with a grin on their face. - Stephen Colbert

Humans have created 8.3 billion metric tons of plastics since large-scale production of the synthetic materials began in the early 1950s, and most of it now resides in landfills or the natural environment, according to a study published today in the journal Science Advances.

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.
