TWICE as expensive as the reviled auto industry bailout. Think of how much of those dollars leave the country to foreign owners. Multi millions to the brothers in Argentina or is it Brazil.... They, themselves, cannot come to the US, they are 'wanted' men here!

“Disturbing” and “concerned” are two of the most useless words uttered by politicians. Almost as useless as “thoughts and prayers”.

“Disturbing” and “concerned” are two of the most useless words uttered by politicians. Almost as useless as “thoughts and prayers”. Especially since the net result of either is doing nothing to actually address the problem.

Sad............. Rep. John Lewis to undergo treatment for stage 4 pancreatic cancer BY ARIS FOLLEY - 12/29/19 06:19 PM EST Civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) said on Sunday that he has been diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer and will undergo treatment soon. “I have been in some kind of fight – for freedom, equality, basic human rights – for nearly my entire life. I have never faced a fight quite like the one I have now," the 79-year-old congressman said in a statement detailing his prognosis on Sunday afternoon. “This month in a routine medical visit, and subsequent tests, doctors discovered Stage IV pancreatic cancer. This diagnosis has been reconfirmed," he continued. He said that while he is "clear-eyed" about the prognosis, doctors have told him that recent medical advances have made the type of cancer he has been diagnosed with "treatable in many cases" and added that he has "a fighting chance." “So I have decided to do what I know to do and do what I have always done: I am going to fight it and keep fighting for the Beloved Community," Lewis said. "We still have many bridges to cross." The Georgia Democrat added that he plans to return to return to Washington in the coming days to continue his work in Congress and also begin a treatment plan, which he added “will occur over the next several weeks.” “I may miss a few votes during this period, but with God’s grace I will be back on the front lines soon,” he said. ** thehill.com/homenews/house/476191-rep-john-lewis-to-undergo-treatment-for-stage-4-pancreatic-cancer

”Statewide medicaid expansion was mandated under the ACA, but after a Supreme Court challenge in 2012, it became optional. If the 14 states that have refused to expand it did so, millions more Americans would have affordable coverage.”

Notices are going out. Because they have filed for DACA the government has all their info including fingerprints, photos etc, which make them easier to find then those who didn't file....... What a mess!BY NOLAN RAPPAPORT, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 12/29/19 12:00 PM ESTDeportation proceedings now being reopenedZoila Pelayo, who has been a DACA participant since 2012, recently received notice that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has sought reopening of her removal proceedings. And this is just the beginning. ICE has informed CNN that every DACA recipient whose deportation case was administratively closed can expect to see his or her proceeding reopened. ** What information does the Department of Homeland Security have on DACA participants?The DACA application, Form I-821D, required identity documents that have the applicant’s photo on them, such as a driver’s license or passport — and the application process required a Biometric Services Appointment at which fingerprints, photographs and signatures were taken. This means that for the rest of their lives in the United States, DACA participants will have a heightened risk of being identified and arrested as deportable aliens. ** thehill.com/opinion/immigration/476151-removal-of-daca-recipients-has-begun-it-didnt-take-a-crystal-ball-to-see

Trump runs the country just like he ran his bankrupted businesses: The national debt is skyrocketing while economic growth is laggingPublished 15 hours ago on December 29, 2019 By Steven Piersanti, DC Report @ Raw Story- Commentary *** Trump campaigned on the promise of eliminating the federal debt within eight years, but what his economic policies have actually been doing is bankrupting the country. The U.S. government’s budget deficit ballooned to almost $1 trillion in 2019, which is nearly a 50 percent increase during Trump’s time in office. Debt to Top $4.1 TrillionTrump’s overall contribution to the national debt, for the bills he has signed into law, is projected to top $4.1 trillion, according to the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. The largest portion of this increase is coming from Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, which are projected to boost the nation’s debt by $1.8 trillion, according to this group’s analysis. ** Trump also wants to take away access to health insurance for millions by undoing the Affordable Care Act. This would be especially damaging to those with pre-existing conditions, many of whom could not buy health insurance before that law took effect. And if Trump succeeds in undermining the Affordable Care Act, this would cause financial ruin to many more people, given that medical issues and costs are the number one reason Americans file for bankruptcy. A Career of Business BankruptciesTrump cultivates a mythology that he has been tremendously successful in business. The reality is that public records show that six times Trump filed Chapter 11 bankruptcies for his companies. Yes, not once, not twice, but six times! And even in cases where Trump was able to avoid bankruptcy, there were many business failures. For example, “Trump defaulted on the debt of his airline, Trump Shuttle, turning it over to U.S. Airways.” The full extent of Trump’s failures in business has been largely hidden by this refusal to release his tax returns. But The New York Times was able to obtain tax information from 1985 to 1994 and these records revealed $1.17 billion in business losses in these 10 years alone. “In fact, year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer,” The Times concluded, comparing his losses to publicly available IRS information. These revelations led to newspaper and magazine headlines like this one: “As a Businessman, Trump Was the Biggest Loser of All.” How was Trump able to stay in business despite many bankruptcies and losing so much money? The answer is that Trump was able to structure his deals so that he was losing other people’s money—that of banks, bond investors, governments and others—more than his own money. Passing Losses to OthersIn other words, Trump was passing financial losses to those who supported him. Not surprisingly, this led many banks and other financial institutions to stop providing financing to Trump. The principal exception has been Deutsche Bank of Germany: “Over the past two decades, it was the only mainstream financial institution consistently willing to do business with Mr. Trump, who had a history of defaulting on loans. The bank lent him a total of more than $2 billion, about $350 million of which was outstanding when he was sworn in as president.” This is the same bank that was fined $630 million in 2017 by American and British banking regulators in connection with “around $10 billion in suspicious trades being laundered out of Russia.” It’s not just banks that have failed to receive payments due from Trump. Hundreds of small businesses, individual contractors, laborers and other ordinary Americans have alleged that Trump has not paid them. ** www.rawstory.com/2019/12/trump-runs-the-country-just-like-he-ran-his-bankrupted-businesses-the-national-debt-is-skyrocketing-while-economic-growth-is-lagging/There is a whole lot more in the piece.

"Right-wing pastor and radical conspiracy theorist Rodney Howard-Browne streamed a video on Periscope yesterday in which he declared that President Donald Trump “needs to get meaner.”Howard-Browne, who was among evangelical leaders who laid hands upon and prayed over Trump in the Oval Office in 2017, got agitated by critics who were trolling the comments section of his Periscope video and lashed out. “You don’t even know what you are talking about,” Howard-Browne said. “Stick it where the sun don’t shine.

“New: Peter Strzok has filed his opposition to DOJ's motion to dismiss his lawsuit. It raises pointed new questions about the ability of government employees to share personal opinions on matters of public interest—including on government-issued devices.”
Thanks to trump this country is going to challenge or define things like what constitutes presidential powers, ignoring subpoenas, to things like the above.
Maybe it’s a good thing in case this country is dumb enough to elect another trump sometime down the road.

WE discussed the photo of the 'graduates' of the corrections officer s in West Virginia doing the 'hitler salute' some time back. 30 have wii be fired with their instructors!! ** More than 30 West Virginia corrections cadets and staff will be fired over a class photo in which the participants made the classic Nazi salute. West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice (R) reviewed and approved the recommended terminations from the Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety, according to a statement from his office. “As I said from the beginning, I condemn the photo of Basic Training Class 18 in the strongest possible terms,” Justice said in the statement. “I also said that this act needed to result in real consequences — terminations and dismissals. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated on my watch in any agency of State government.” The report reviewed by the governor recommended the termination of an academy staff member and four academy instructors, who had knowledge of the photo and salute, and all cadets who participated. ** thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/476287-west-virginia-corrections-staff-fired-over-photo-of-nazi-salute

linkFrom Vox... “Trump’s use of homelessness as a political cudgel exposes his cynical disregard for blue states”
From the article... “It’s not coincidental that he’s making a big issue out of homelessness in California and New York but not in Florida. Since Christmas, President Donald Trump has been cynically using homelessness as a political cudgel to attack blue-state Democrats who are making his life difficult. ”Kriston Capps of CityLab reported two weeks ago that Trump is expected to soon sign an executive order on homelessness that would “assign new resources to police departments to remove homeless encampments and even strip housing funds from cities that choose to tolerate these encampments.” That approach is at odds with the housing-first one broadly favored by experts on housing and by President Obama, who presided over a dramatic nationwide decrease in homelessness.” It’s a politically useful tool, and one that he’s wielding strategically: The fact that Trump is attacking officials in New York and California but not ones in Florida, the state with the nation’s third-largest homeless population, is not a coincidence. Trump’s approval rating is already somewhere between 25 points and 30 points below underwater in the first two states, and he doesn’t need them to win reelection. Florida, however, is a different story.”

linkNBC News... “Tariffs contribute to job losses in American manufacturing, Fed report shows”“ Tariffs implemented in 2018 alone cost Americans a collective $1.4 billion each month, one study showed.”The White House insisted that tariffs would be a boon to U.S. factories. The Federal Reserve says otherwise. A new report from the Fed’s Divisions of Research & Statistics and Monetary Affairs, titled “Disentangling the Effects of the 2018-2019 Tariffs on a Globally Connected U.S. Manufacturing Sector,” concluded that President Donald Trump's tariffs led to job losses in the manufacturing sector and higher prices for producers and consumers.“ More examples of trump #MAGA!

The very last thing the Democrats want, and yes I mean all, is a Republican VP.
The reality is, because of their age, both Biden and Sanders will be lucky if they last a full term never mind the possibility of a second term.
Which means NO REPUBLICAN VP!
