The vain one...
“So nice being with Republican Senators today. Multiple standing ovations! Most are great people who want big Tax Cuts and success for U.S.”
We now know what’s important to trump. Standing ovations.

There seem to be a lot of new posters jumping in on some political threads. Have we Beetlejuiced the Russian Bots? Trolls? Old peas with new names attempting to preserve their identity (and I'm not referring to Lauren/Lovetocolor)?

Sean Patrick Maloney...
“Eliminating local and state tax deductions would make middle class families pay more in taxes.”
But that’s ok because the average American family’s wages will go up about $4,000 annually. This assumption is based on the theory that if you cut corporation taxes they will be soooo thrilled they will fall all over themselves to increase their employee’s wages.
Yea right.

Matt Fuller...
“Trump: The Foreign Relations Chairman is incompetent.
Corker: Trump is a threat to our security, and he'll be remembered for the debasement of our nation.
Paul Ryan: FIRST OF ALL, THESE CORPORATE TAX RATES ARE JUST TOO GOSH DARN HIGH!”
The sad state of our government in one tweet.

Reality check: Will Trump's tax plan really give you a $4,000 pay raise?by Jeanne Sahadi @cnnmoney October 25, 2017: 12:05 PM ET ********* A boost to income won't happen right away In a briefing with reporters, Hassett allowed that "it's hard to come up with a model that jumps to $4,000 in the first year." In fact, no one knows quite how long it might take for a corporate rate cut to start affecting wages. Kotlikoff, for instance, estimates that average household income under the GOP tax reform framework might rise by $3,500 within six to eight years.************** money.cnn.com/2017/10/25/news/economy/trump-tax-plan-pay-raise/index.html

John Harwood...
“Trump says he did not authorize the mission in Niger that resulted in loss of 4 soldiers. generals did”
Why am I not surprised it’s someone else’s fault. president tiny hands does not understand the concept “ the buck stops here.”
But I read trump had given the “Generals” in the field more authority to make these decisions which was felt they would be more aggressive. A Commander-in-Chief in name only instead of an actual leader.

CNN.....
“President Trump: "I think the press makes me more uncivil than I am… I went to an Ivy League college… I'm a very intelligent person."
He did say that.... There was a video as part of the tweet and I listened to it because I couldn’t believe a president of this country would say something like that. But he said it.

I think the press makes me more uncivil than I am… I so they're apparently doing voice-overs when they show clips of him speaking, or something, I guess? It's kind of hard for them to make him out to be anything other than what he is, when they show him speaking, and show his tweets. They don't even need to SAY anything about it, most of the time- all they have to do is show HIM, and what he says.

Frank Thorpe V.....
“Just asked Cornyn if he agrees w/ Roy Moore saying homosexual conduct should be illegal:
Cornyn: “I don’t have to agree with somebody to support them over the democratic nominee. I support the nominee of my party.”
This goes with Grassley saying while he may not like the bill we ran on it for 6 years so we had better vote for it.
And these fools don’t see anything wrong thinking like that. Whatever happened to knowing the difference between and acknowledging what’s right and wrong?

Immigration agents staking out 10-year-old at Texas hospital: reportBY RAFAEL BERNAL - 10/25/17 06:24 PM EDT A 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy is facing deportation after crossing a Border Patrol checkpoint on her way to the hospital, the Corpus Christi Caller-Times reports. The girl's mother, Felipa Delacruz, was told by a Mexican consulate that federal officials were investigating her immigration status, according to the Texas newspaper. Both the girl and Delacruz are undocumented. The girl was sent from Laredo, Texas, to Corpus Christi accompanied by her U.S. citizen cousin, Aurora Cantu, to get gallbladder surgery. On the way to the hospital, they passed a Border Patrol checkpoint and were then escorted by federal agents to Driscoll Children's Hospital. The hospital declined to confirm whether immigration agents were stationed outside the patient's room, citing confidentiality, according to the Caller-Times. Delacruz said consular officials told her the girl could face deportation once released from the hospital. Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) said federal agents are staking out the girl's hospital room, with “plans to rip this ailing little girl from her family, and ship her off, by herself, to a detention center." "I challenge President Trump and Acting [Department of Homeland Security] Secretary [Elaine] Duke to show that this enforcement operation is prioritizing a dangerous criminal. A small child who just had surgery is not a threat to Texans’ safety or our national security. DHS should focus its resources elsewhere,” he said. Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez also jumped into the fray, calling the situation "beyond inhumane." "By needlessly targeting this little girl, the Trump administration is proving once again that its capacity for cruelty knows no bounds," added Perez. The Border Patrol operates immigration checkpoints within 100 miles of international borders which make it risky for immigrants in the country illegally who live in border areas to go to the interior of the country. thehill.com/latino/357209-immigration-agents-staking-out-10-year-old-at-texas-hospital-report

The BBC reported this story www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41743608"The Trump administration cannot prevent a teenage undocumented immigrant from obtaining an abortion in Texas, an appeals court has ruled. The 17-year-old, identified only as Jane Doe, is 15 weeks pregnant. She requested an abortion at the government-funded shelter where she was placed after being apprehended near the Mexico border. However, a new policy implemented by the Trump administration has denied her access to a clinic."

Random tweet which led to a random thought....
“One economist argues that U.S. doctors get paid too much—and offers some bold ideas on what to do about it politi.co/2zFDenl”
It occurred to me reading this the person or persons who say so and so makes too much money or shouldn’t get more money are often feeling they don’t make enough money. Why is it the other person who shouldn’t be paid that much money for their job but you should?

I doubt that even one of my doctors is making anywhere near corporate millions, plus bonuses in the millions ......... I know for a fact that my surgeon is in the operating room at 6AM 3 days a week and sees patients every day(M-F) until after 6PM as well as available by email and phone nights and weekends.

I know for a fact that my surgeon is in the operating room ^^^ I remember when I had jaw surgery, performed by an oral surgeon- I was appalled when I saw the bill and realized the paltry amount of money he was contracted to receive from the insurance company for the work he had done on my face. The entire hospital bill was well over $50,000, and I think his contracted amount (for about 5 hours of work, deconstructing and reconstructing my upper jaw) was only around $2000, or something like that. For the amount of skill and responsibility that surgery entailed, like I said, I was appalled. It's not the doctors / surgeons who are getting 'rich' from our healthcare system.

I was just listening to Stephen Colbert clips on youtube-- he commented on this... from this tweet, it sounds like Trump doesn't realize that they are REQUIRED TO STAND when he comes into the room because he's the President!!

“President Trump signs order declaring opioid crisis a public health emergency. abcn.ws/2hc1F58”
Big Show no action. His/GOP budget cuts funding to programs that help these folks because you know they need to pay for the tax cuts.
It in his tiny simple mind it’s a good photo op making him look so Presidential.
Jerk.
Edited to add from Sam Stein...
“LEAHY: "There is no action or new funding behind the President’s empty words to address this crisis. This is unacceptable."
