Once they get started on Medicare and Social Security, all senior citizens will be under the bus too. Not looking too good for making America better, is it? Maybe Trump's slogan ("make America great again") meant making it a great and feeble target for Putin's plans. It sure looks like we're going to be sinking to Russia's level fast.<br />BeaglemomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-56702541830714616852017-01-14T08:04:09.688-09:002017-01-14T08:04:09.688-09:00Beaglemom, thank you for your comment.

Which is that he is NO Marine, and that he is not entitled to call himself a general.<br /><br />He swore an oath to defend this country and he is doing his best instead to ensure that his constituents are harmed.<br /><br />People will die without the ACA/Obamacare, Medicaid, and Medicare. He also wants to destroy Social Security. He doesn't appear to be stupid or uneducated, so the lies he spouted during his campaign must have been purposeful and deliberately cruel.<br /><br />I told him that my former husband served in the Marines honorably for over 20 years, and will always be a Marine, but that he will never be more than Mr. Bergman to me, and I certainly don't consider him fit to serve in Congress.<br /><br />It won't change anything, but I guess I felt better for a minute.Neferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983053827261292393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-72227797038834509072017-01-14T07:02:45.653-09:002017-01-14T07:02:45.653-09:00Lewis is a class A idiot.

Here's what she was told by one of Warren's staffers:<br />"Senator Warren's staff member told me what would help the most would be to call the five Republican senators who have broken away from the GOP to demand a slow down of the repeal. Tell them how much you appreciate their efforts to stop the train wreck and share your story.<br />They are:<br />Senator Bob Corker (TN) - (202) 224-3344<br />Senator Lisa Murkowski (AK) - (202) 224-6665<br />Senator Rob Portman (OH) - (202) 224-3353<br />Senator Susan Collins (ME) - (202) 224-2523<br />Senator Bill Cassidy (LA) - (202) 224-5824"<br />SCRIPT: Hi, my name is ______ and I am a concerned constituent/citizen [give your address if you're in the state]. I want to let the Senator know that I fully support the Affordable Care Act. I [friends or family] get my health care through the ACA. If the law is repealed with no replacement in place, I [my friends or family] will be without health coverage and won't have any other options. I am appalled that this vital law will be repealed with no plan for those with pre-existing conditions or those who need the ACA to be able to access health care. I very much appreciate your efforts to demand a slow down of the repeal.

Members of the white nationalist movement were among the first to embrace Trump's candidacy, and they celebrated after his election.<br /><br />"January 20th reflects a significant defeat for egalitarian orthodoxy," Taylor says.<br /><br />● Taylor promotes a very different orthodoxy, one in which race is central to innate abilities and national success. <br /><br />● He's working to build a United States explicitly for white people. Trump arguably helps this by telling supporters that they're the victims of a system rigged against them.<br /><br />"I see Donald Trump as a kind of stepping stone. He is a step in the right direction in terms of understanding America and history and the world in essentially racial terms," Taylor says....<br /><br />● Spencer said that Trump's victory had just slingshotted white nationalism into the mainstream.<br /><br />● 11"And even if we're not quite in power yet we should act like it," he said....<br /><br />But later that day, Spencer gave another speech, a fiery one that ended with some of the audience casting off any pretense of being mainstream.<br /><br />● "Hail Trump! Hail our people! Hail victory!" Spencer shouted, raising his glass in a straight-arm toast to the audience.<br /><br />Some in the crowd responded with enthusiastic Nazi salutes, which captured media attention....<br /><br />● White nationalists also like the nominee for secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, who's seen as being close to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, a darling of the alt-right...<br /><br />http://www.npr.org/2017/01/13/509533142/white-nationalists-enthusiasm-for-trump-coolsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-91399074821356013432017-01-13T14:27:27.310-09:002017-01-13T14:27:27.310-09:00John Lewis was at the meeting with Comey in which ...John Lewis was at the meeting with Comey in which everyone that left was completely disgusted !!

John Yarmuth's effort to substitute an infrastructure bill with the resolution to begin repealing the Affordable Care Act. <br /><br />To be clear, all of the names on the list also voted against the Senate resolution to begin repeal, so presumably they were released to vote against Yarmuth's blocking resolution as political cover. <br /><br />That is unacceptable to me. Now is the time for them to stand up for the ACA in ALL circumstances. They will argue that the resolution wasn't going to pass anyway, so they could have some cover with more conservative constituents. I'll just call BS on that right now.<br /><br />One of these representatives was mine. And I will be in her office, explaining why it is unacceptable for her to EVER vote against a proposal to block repeal. I would recommend that you all choose the same course of action.
