“Trump in WV: "In many places, like California, the same person votes many times. You probably heard about that. They always like to say 'oh that's a conspiracy theory.' Not a conspiracy theory, folks. Millions and millions of people."
Some guy by the name of Benjamin had the best response....
“Millions of people, huh? Should be easy to prove then. I'll wait.”
Millions and millions translates to the difference in the popular vote between him and Hillary.

And yet I just heard on the radio that if he has to step down as head of the EPA, Trump is considering him (Pruitt) as a possible replacement for Jeff Sessions!?! Would he have to be confirmed for the different job title? Apparently the ability to say "yes, Mr. Trump; that sounds great!" and to pucker up and kiss Trump's (lumpy and saggy) ass are the ONLY requirements for any position in this administration. He has done sooooo much damage already.. No way can I envision him as AG!

I'm waiting for someone to have the balls to come out and say that.

linkCNBC.... Trump tosses out the script — literally — in rant on immigration and voter fraud
From the article.. “President Donald Trump's event Thursday, which was supposed to be about tax reform, swiftly turned into a rant about immigration policy and voter fraud, as the president tossed out his script — literally. "This was going to be my remarks," he said in West Virginia, holding up a piece of paper after his freewheeling comments. "It would have taken about two minutes, but, to hell with it," Trump said as he tossed the paper in the air. "Reading off the first paragraph, I said, 'This is boring.' Come on. Tell it like it is," he added. Trump told horror stories that he tied to the U.S. immigration system as he pushed for change to immigration laws. He told a story about young girls never seeing their parents again after they get "cut up" by members of criminal gangs run by immigrants. He pointed back to comments he made in 2015 opening his campaign, in which he suggested "rapists" came from Mexico, to make an unsubstantiated claim that unprecedented rape was taking place as a so-called caravan of people moved toward the U.S. recently. "Remember my opening remarks in Trump Tower when I opened, everybody said, 'Oh he was so tough.' I used the word 'rape,'" Trump said. "And yesterday it came out where, this journey coming up, women are raped at levels that nobody's ever seen before. They don't want to mention that. So we have to change our laws." Trump claimed Democrats "like" mass immigration because they think immigrants will vote for them. He revived a false claim that "in many places like California, the same person votes many times." Translation - trump & company are finding their “wonderful” tax cuts is hard sell that the public doesn’t appear to be buying. So trump has resorted to his comfort blanket speech to make him feel better. In fact I saw a blurb where someone was trying to make the case that corporations that are buying back their stock with their windfall is good for the economy and then workers. I didn’t read the the theory behind this but I’m sure it was interesting.

It’s amazing right—and happens here in our forum—claims that don’t get backed up that are just the usual talking points, yet a few spew them with robotic like presence.

Natasha Bertrand...
“Paul Manafort authorized a secret media operation on behalf of Ukraine’s former president Viktor Yanukovych that featured “black ops”, “placed” articles in the Wall Street Journal and US websites, and anonymous briefings against Hillary Clinton.”
1. If Manafort set this up for the former Ukrainian President, there is no reason to believe he wouldn’t have done the same for the trump campaign. That could have been very well what his “expertise” was that he brought to the campaign.
2. When you have members of governments of foreign countries going after a candidate for president then you have to believe they consider that person a threat. Otherwise why bother.

Well trump sure likes to spend tax payer money that’s for sure. And the tax payer isn’t getting much in return but trump is getting free trips to his properties. Did he fly south after latest speech?

He uses every one else’s and then reneges on any deal he had with the lenders or business. He claims to be in construction and builds things—-all he really does is sell his name.

So, I was listening to NPR this morning and I got so angry when listening to their interview with the Surgeon General about narcan and the opioid crisis that I had to turn it off. I realize the opioid crisis is a real crisis, I get it, but I cannot understand why this administration feels like they need to prioritize grants to give out narcan to people. The surgeon general was going on about they were going to make sure that it was either free or very low cost to people. He said they are going to work with the pharmaceutical companies to keep costs low. Seriously? This is a priority? People can’t pay for their Epi pens, diabetes medications, cancer fighting treatment, or even regular prescriptions, but yes, let’s make it a priority to make narcan affordable. Here is a link to the edited interview - the part about making it more affordable was longer on the radio- www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/04/05/599538089/surgeon-general-urges-more-americans-to-carry-opioid-antidoteI realize this does not need to be an either or situation, but I really feel like this should be lower priority then making all pharmaceutical prices reasonable, making sure health care is affordable to everyone, and treating the disease that is addiction rather then handing out narcan like it is candy.

So the Narcan story was on the news tonight. While I think it is very noble and nice that the surgeon general would like all of America to carry this drug so that they can help in the event it is needed, I have issues with this. The surgeon general wants all of us to BUY a drug that many of us will never need? This stinks of big pharma and kickbacks. And I do not say that lightly, as I am usually very skeptical of people who throw it out over every little thing. Was I correct in hearing that this drug costs 180/dose? I hope I misheard that (the kids were screaming and running around during the news tonight). I’m sorry, but no. I will not be buying a drug just because it could potentially save some random stranger I may happen to run into on the street someday. And honestly, I’m not a medical professional. How the hell am I, a random chick on the street, supposed to discern that the problem with this person I’ve never met is that they’re ODing on opioids, and that yes, the random drug I’ve got in my purse will keep them from dying? What happens if they’re having a heart attack and I go ahead and administer this because I think it’s an OD and it instead kills them? No. Just no.

There's more.............. Pruitt room rental!! "The lobbyist couple who leased a room in their townhome to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt has been cited by the Washington, D.C., government for not having the proper licenses. The property owners did not hold the business license enquired to rent out the property, the DC Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs said in a statement obtained by CNN on Thursday. Healthcare lobbyist Vicki Hart co-owns the condo and was fined $2,034, according to the statement. Pruitt’s adult daughter also lived with him for a period of time and Pruitt was reportedly late on some of the payments, prompting complaints from Hart." thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/381932-lobbyist-couple-cited-by-dc-government-for-not-having-proper

So, I am reading a book that I want to share with you. A particularly horrifying read to be honest, but I try to read things in a very broad spectrum. I DO NOT suggest purchasing the book. I borrowed it from a library and as such, it will not transfer profit to the authors. The Trump Prophecies by Mark Taylor and Mary Colbert. Interesting to listen to their account of being responsible for our current administration. Love the list where they name names of who was working behind the scenes to bring this about. So just throwing that out there. Take it or leave it, but please do not fund these people. I’m curious why the authors of a book that shines light on this dumpster fire are the villains here who shouldn’t get paid? Enlighten me please, this is the first I’ve heard about this book or these authors.

Enlighten me please, this is the first I’ve heard about this book or these authors. For me, it is because they are not shining light from outside, but from inside. They are claiming an active role and credit for putting him into this position. They are claiming that they knew what would happen if he were to be elected, and that they wanted everything he has done so far, and much more to come. They intend to use their resources to keep him in power. For myself, personally, I do not want ANY of my resources going to assist them in that goal. ETA: Everyone is obviously free to spend their resources in whatever way they choose, but for me, not a dime will be going in that direction if I can help it. Fair enough. Thank you for sharing!

Greg Sargent....
“Trump's radio interview this morning was worrisome.
Trump said his Real Approval Rating is 58 or 59 percent.
What happens if he keeps believing this in the event of a protracted trade war?
My new post on the perils of the Trump bubble:”
Just like he claims millions of undocumented folks voted in the elections. Just like “I have to send the National Guard to the Southern Border to protect us from the “caravan”.
Either he’s delusional, he thinks his supporters will believe any lie he spins, or it’s a combination of both.
But in the real world he is taking this country down a path that does not bode well for everyday American Citizens like this pissing match he seems determined to have with China.
