How most of the USA feels

Flake drops out of Senate race, torches Trump in speech
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), an outspoken critic of President Trump, shocked his colleagues on Tuesday by announcing that he will not run for reelection.
Flake went on to blast Trump and Republicans in a Senate speech, accusing his party of abandoning "core principles" in favor of "anger and resentment."

Why Did Trump Give $25,000 To This Gold Star Family? It Is So Odd.
The grieving family of a fallen American soldier received a $25,000 check from President Donald Trump on Monday, fulfilling a promise made months ago by the Commander in Chief during a condolence call.

I Wish Pope Francis Would Tweet About This
Bill O'Reilly has repeatedly blamed reports of sexual misconduct on a politically motivated media. On Monday, he admitted that he also blames a higher power.
"You know, am I mad at God? Yeah, I'm mad at him," O'Reilly said on the latest episode of his web series, "No Spin News." "I wish I had more protection. I wish this stuff didn't happen. I can't explain it to you. Yeah, I'm mad at him."




I can't believe our country got so divided by a guy that probably can't divide. - Blake Hammond


2 Republicans Hearts Are In The Right Place But Puerto Rico Needs Dinero! Rapido!
At least two Senate Republicans are delaying swift passage of a disaster aid package — demanding that Puerto Rico be made permanently exempt from a 1920 law that has complicated efforts to send supplies to the hurricane-ravaged territory.





I believe with my heart and soul, and my father does and this administration does, that no one can best the American worker. - Ivanka Trump right after she ordered her new line of shoes that are made in China. These people have no shame.

A new generation of see-through solar cell technology could soon be used to harvest the massive energy potential of building and car windows, cell phones as well as other objects with a transparent surface.
Scientists at Michigan State University detailed in a paper in the journal Nature Energy how highly transparent solar applications could “nearly meet U.S. electricity demand” and drastically reduce reliance upon fossil fuels.

Trump's Support For The Troops

Black female lawmakers demand Kelly apologize to Dem lawmaker for "reckless and false" attack
The women of the Congressional Black Caucus on Sunday called on White House chief of staff John Kelly to apologize for his "reprehensible" remarks about Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson (D), in which he accused her of bragging about securing funding at a building dedication honoring slain FBI agents.


#NFL : Please #TakeAKnee for the horrible treatment of a war widow by the president.

Yes, let's all attack the war widow Myeshia Johnson. Stand up and take a bow, America, you've reached a new low. - Jeff Tiedrich

This Paragraph Is Very Disturbing About The Niger Attack
...For months before the ambush, the U.S. military had requested more drones or other surveillance aircraft in Niger and additional military medical support, but those requests met resistance from the U.S. ambassador to the country, who was reluctant to increase the American presence in the country, according to a U.S. official briefed on the attack.

FYI: The ambassador to Niger is Eunice Reddick, an accomplished black woman appointed by -- surprise -- Obama!






Republican Shenanigans

Jerk at airport just told me Ms. Johnson's account of Trump call is "bullshit." Me: How do you know? Him: "They released the recording of the call." Me: They did not. Him: "It's on the Internet." Me: It's not. Him: "It is." Me: Bet you $50. Him: Silence. - David Corn, Mother Jones






Ivanka Is Hiding Something. Doh!
Maybe it just slipped her mind.
Ivanka Trump's federal financial disclosure report doesn't mention her past involvement with the charitable foundation that bears her family's name—and which remains under investigation for self-dealing.






It’s sad that Republicans are more offended with a congresswoman’s hat than the president belittling a Gold Star family. - Tony Posnanski

Email
Subject: Stop the world I want to get off

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the laughs. We need it.
So many natural disasters, so many people suffering and Trump golfs and insults a war widow along with his chief of staff. What have we become? Why aren't Americans more outraged? Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are mostly ignored by Trump or as you said "intentional neglect"
Republicans and Democrats were outraged at Weinstein but not at Trump for his crude remarks about sexual assault? That's cray cray
Trump reminds me of Nero.
Thanks for all you do. I needed to vent
Alex


Thank you for writing Alex.


That is a good analogy of Trump as Nero. If I may add to that -- Trump wasn't playing a fiddle while the country was burning -- he was playing golf.

Trump and the Republicans are systematically dismantling the country, including any shred of its moral authority. Sigh.

I just try and find something, anything, that is humorous and that is getting harder and harder to find. Thank you for your appreciation.








Trump is currently fighting w/ a former POW who has brain cancer and an Army widow who's six months pregnant.

Trump Seeks to Prove His Theory That Hillary Killed JFK - Andy Borowitz


Mueller Is Also Investigating A Democrat
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group, according to an NBC News report.
Mueller, who is leading the investigation into Russia’s attempts to meddle in the United States election, is reportedly probing the firm to determine whether it violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) in its work for the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine (ECMU). The non-profit ECMU was part of a public relations campaign run by former President Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, to support Ukraine’s reputation.

GOOD NEWS: Republicans Are Overjoyed
A survey published Friday by Gallup and Sharecare, a health information firm, finds that the uninsured rate has risen by 1.4 percentage points since Trump took office, reaching 12.3% in the third quarter of this year. That translates to 3.5 million Americans who have joined the ranks of the uninsured since the end of 2016, when the uninsured rate reached a record low of 10.9%. The uninsured rate peaked above 18% just before the ACA exchanges opened for business in January 2014.
