WH Flip Flops or Flipped Out?

Submitted by ub on

Wake up America. How much longer are you willing to accept this low level of sub service from our leaders?

First, the White House says one thing, then they wind up saying another. So what are Americans supposed to believe? This is the problem journalists face with reporting the facts. These are still changing as we write this.

Trump Threats

Submitted by ub on

If the President carries out his new threat, he would be handing the insurance industry a solid court case while undermining his leverage to attract Democrats to the negotiating table. The Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, is the law of the land.

Tax Plan or Tax Scam?

Submitted by ub on

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin meets Koch conservatives to promote #Trumptaxplan. Has anyone seen his taxes yet? The American taxpayer must be able to understand the full scope of #TRUMPTAXES.

How can the administration forge a close collaboration with the Koch brothers and President Trump, when his own taxes are not known? Are the Koch brothers gearing up to convince US their version of tax reform means only the 1% deserve tax cuts?

Failure Facts

In a stinging and dramatic defeat and disastrous deflate to @POTUS President Donald Trump, GOP Senators failed to dismantle Obamacare, falling short on another campaign promise and ending a seven-year quest by their party to gut the health care law. They had no bill, no plan and therefore not enough support for a semi secret bill that was in a crafting process. A Whitehouse in chaos does not appear to be winning like Trump promised.

Repair Obamacare

Submitted by ub on

Repeals and replace #Obamacare was nothing more than GOP Hot Air. Make no mistake about it, this vote is a major blow to President Trump and Republican lawmakers, who promised to repeal and replace Obamacare. The US Congress will not repair Obamacare. Will Trump learn the hard way that his Tweets, threats, and multiple golf outings get him nothing done in DC?

US Congress may be finally realizing it's time to move on once and for all. GOP Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is finally urging all members of the entire Senate to move on after that chamber narrowly rejected their last ditch effort to repeal Obamacare.

The US Senate narrowly defeated a bill early Friday that would have repealed limited portions of the Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare. US Senator John McCain was able to cast the deciding vote against the plan.

Senators voted 49-51 for the bill, falling two votes short of the 51 votes needed to pass the legislation. In addition to McCain, Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska also voted against the failed bill.

Seven Year Itch

It is like a partner, or spouse telling you where they won't go, but refusing to tell you where they will. Today the GOP controlled Congress will possibly decide if millions of Americans will lose their healthcare. The reason we say possibly is that few folks know which version of the bill senators will be voting for.

After seven years of badmouthing the Affordable Care Act and six months of playing golf, the President and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will attempt to move a plan forward to hold a vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act.

President vs US Law

No president is capable of pardoning himself. Donald Trump has reportedly requested his team of attorneys for direction about his power to pardon associates, family and himself. Meanwhile, the Trump team seeks to control, and or block Mueller’s Russia investigation. http://wapo.st/2uH7sqO?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.248349302ef0

The president's lawyers reportedly are hunting for dirt on Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team to help with future arguments about conflicts of interest. Trump Aides, Seeking Leverage, Investigate Mueller’s Investigators https://nyti.ms/2tkR8IM

Horse Meat

Submitted by ub on

After getting nothing but horse sh-t from Congress for years, The US House Appropriations Committee has taken a step toward allowing horse slaughter in America by defeating a ban on horse meat inspections by the Agriculture Department.

Horse meat is popular in only a few countries, notably in Central Asia, but it forms a significant part of the culinary traditions of many others, from Europe to South America.
