Why, if the new health care bill doesn’t pass, can’t the Republicans work on a new and better version. I have not been a big fan of Obamacare but it is certainly better than what the House is to vote on today.

Trump and his Republicans need to put aside their egos, wipe their noses, pull up their pants and get on with the campaign promise of Making America Great Again. Stupid slogan but apparently effective.

Pull the bill, go back to the drawing board and put out a heath care bill the really cares for people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can there really be any doubt any more about any thing that happened in President Comrade’s staff? The FBI is conducting an investigation. That in and of itself does not constitute wrong doing. The Republicans keep saying the FBI has not released any evidence. The investigation is not over. Director Comey said nothing would be released until the investigation is complete. If at that time there is no evidence then that will be that. But really, can anyone doubt that Trump and / or his “people” have had dealings with the Russians which most likely include Putin. Paul Manafort has admitted he had conversations and business dealings with Deripaska who is known to be a close associate of Putin. The AP has stated that these dealings were set up to aid Putin in advancing his interests and to knock down Russian opposition in some of the former Soviet Republics.

Then there is Rep. Nunes who comes out tells the nation that there are some indications that President Whisper Around Obama was surveilled. Well not quite (I have to say that a lot in these posts). Turns out there may be some evidence that some of Trump’s associates may have been possibly surveilled. Any maybe that some of Trump’s conversations were captured. Though no one it seems is quite sure. How can we ever believe a democrat again with evidence like that!? Of course Fox News picks this up and runs with it. Any some Trump supporters say “look, it was true all along”. These idiots will believe anything! Of course it some part of the government was surveilling Trump or his staff or associates they would have to follow the FISA laws which state:

Without a court order

The President may authorize, through the Attorney General, electronic surveillance without a court order for the period of one year, provided that it is only to acquire foreign intelligence information, that it is solely directed at communications or property controlled exclusively by foreign powers,that there is no substantial likelihood that it will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party, and that it be conducted only in accordance with defined minimization procedures.

With a court order

Alternatively, the government may seek a court order permitting the surveillance using the FISA court. Approval of a FISA application requires the court find probable cause that the target of the surveillance be a “foreign power” or an “agent of a foreign power”, and that the places at which surveillance is requested is used or will be used by that foreign power or its agent. In addition, the court must find that the proposed surveillance meet certain “minimization requirements” for information pertaining to U.S. persons. Depending on the type of surveillance, approved orders or extensions of orders may be active for 90 days, 120 days, or a year.

There, that should make it clear. We have possible surveillance with possible evidence that possibly makes a iron clad maybe a possibility.

Would someone please slap me across the face? Or at least pinch so I can wake up from this nightmare!

A few days ago Trump mentioned that Republicans that didn’t vote for his disastrous health care bill would have to pay the price. Just what did he mean? Since we never really knows if he means what he says what are these lawmakers to think? Will he send over someone to slap their hand? Maybe a little swat on the behind would be the right reaction? Did he mean that he would not support them in their reelection campaigns? What he said later was that there are elections in 2018 and 2020 that would be lost if this health care bill doesn’t pass. What he really meant is that if his bill does not make it through there will hard times ahead for him and his followers because all credibility will have lost. He will have no power. That is a scary thought for a man such as President I Need Your Love.

The health care bill is flawed in so many ways. It hurts the rural low income folks who supported Trump. It helps the city dwelling high income folks who also supported him. The undereducated were duped by Trump while the rich highly educated knew exactly what was going on. Take from the poor and give to the rich. That really seems to be the Trump motto.

Please call your representatives, be they Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever, let them know they have to vote down this bill. The reaction to the Muslim ban was the shot across the bow. The defeat of the health care bill will be the first real blow to ship.

After this we can only hope the Diane Feinstein is correct in her coy way.
