Loved this twitter response: "As in: "Brett Kavanaugh can't sue for libel because that would open him up to discovery and since he's liable to have done a lot of sexual assault and he would be held liable for damages"." Ooo that pesky ‘discovery’ part of a lawsuit How long do you think we have before the legal System is completely corrupted? 3 more years til the theocracy and corpo-lovers he's been nominating at the top start to set the country on the path to Gilead.

You got to love it. trump is coming to the SF Bay Area for a fund raiser. Actually he is sneaking into the Bay Area. Where he is going is a big secret. Now I can understand if he was going to let’s say Afghanistan, but the San Francisco Bay Area, please. What a little coward. Oh my....... Those homeless people might get him! Or form a welcoming committee!

Rude, male aggressive and didn't let her see the stupidity of her spouted MAGA ways. that was a waste of time & full of toxicity on both sides. He’s an aggressive asshat & her? I don’t know because he didn’t let her speak. His point would go a lot further if he didn’t talk over & aggressively shut others down. I’d have liked to hear which Era she thought was better. And I’d have liked to hear a calm response about why it wasn’t.

trump...
“Based on the attack on Saudi Arabia, which may have an impact on oil prices, I have authorized the release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, if needed, in a to-be-determined amount....”
”sufficient to keep the markets well-supplied. I have also informed all appropriate agencies to expedite approvals of the oil pipelines currently in the permitting process in Texas and various other States.”
“Permitting process”. By the time those pipeline are built whatever crisis or potential crisis and the damaged caused will be long gone before oil flows through the pipes.

trump during his visit to Iraq...
“After months of public pressure for him to spend time with troops deployed to conflicts in the Middle East and Central Asia, Mr Trump touched down at the joint US-Iraqi base west of Baghdad after a secret flight from Washington.
Accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump, the President sounded a triumphant note as he addressed US service members on the day after Christmas.
“We’re no longer the suckers, folks,” he said. And he warned that he was committed to withdrawing troops from foreign wars even when his administration’s experts object.
“The United States cannot continue to be the policeman of the world,” Mr Trump said.
“It’s not fair when the burden is all on us, the United States.”
trump today...
“Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!”
Last time I checked Saudi Arabia was not part of the United States. So just exactly why is dimwit donnie “locked and loaded” and waiting to hear from SA on how “we would proceed “.

Chris Murphy..
”1/ Okay, in a few tweets I'm going to try to explain what's going on in Yemen today, so you have some knowledge to counter this claim that America needs to bomb Iran because the Houthis bombed Saudi Arabia. It's complicated, but now you need to know.”
”2/ The conflict btwn Saudi Arabia and Yemen roughly dates from the 1932 founding of Saudi Arabia, when the new kingdom took territory from Yemen in a war set off by a border dispute. The Saudis has attempted to influence Yemeni affairs every since.”
”3/ The Houthis are a group of Shia tribes in northern Yemen who practice a distinct form of Islam called Zaidism. In the 1980s, the Saudis began a campaign to push Sunni Wahabism into Houthi areas, creating massive friction with Houthi communities.”
”4/ Saudi Arabia sent Wahhabi settlers into Houthi areas to try to dilute Zaidism and increase Saudi influence in north Yemen. The Houthi resistance to the Saudis, and their patron governments in the Yemeni capital, grew and grew.”
”5/ In the 2000s, Saudi backed Yemeni governments carried out 6 separate wars against the now rebelling Houthis. Bush opposed most of these wars, believing the anti-Houthi campaigns to be doing more harm than good, especially as the Houthis began to reach out to Iran for help.”
”6/ Over the course of these wars, the Houthi military capabilities grew, and by 2010 they were the most battle tested army in Yemen. In 2015 they successfully marched on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and Saudi Arabia and UAE initiated a full fledged war against the Houthis.”
”7/ Since 2015, there have been atrocities committed by both sides. Casualties are hard to track, but it could be that 100,000 Yemenis have died in the war, and the resulting humanitarian disaster has resulted in another 100,000 children dying of starvation or disease.”
8/ The cholera outbreak (the result of water treatment plants being destroyed) is the worst in recorded world history. Houthis refuse to let food & medicine reach contested areas. Saudis drop bombs on hospitals and school buses. Bottom line - it's the ugliest war on the planet.“
”9/ Over time, the Houthis have turned to Iran for more and more help. The Iranians don't have a command and control relationship with Houthis, but their influence grows every day the war continues. Houthi drones likely come from Iran.”
“10/ Over time, a dangerous game of escalating behavior has developed. Saudis kill a bunch of Houthi civilians, then the Houthis launch an attack in Saudi Arabia. The latest attack on the Saudi refinery follows a Saudi attack on Dhamar prison which killed 100 people.”
“11/ Bottom line: the Saudis sowed the seeds of this mess. They marginalized the Houthis in the 80s and thru the 2000s wars. They bungled the prosecution of the post 2015 conflict. Houthis/Iranians have blood on their hands too, but the U.S. should not be a part of this disaster.”
And dimwit donnie wants to drag us into this mess.

Newsweek..
“HOUSE REPUBLICANS REVEAL 2020 STRATEGY: ATTACK OBAMACARE (AGAIN)”
“This weekend, House Republicans held their annual legislative retreat in Baltimore, Maryland, where they outlined their plans for the upcoming year and beyond. High on the agenda: getting rid of the Affordable Care Act for good, something they failed at before losing their majority last year.
Americans "want us to focus on lowering costs, giving them more choice and protecting people with preexisting conditions," Minority Whip Steve Scalise said at a press conference Friday. As the Trump administration continues to hack away at parts of Obamacare via executive orders and pressures the federal courts to rule the health care program unconstitutional, Republicans have yet to come up with a suitable replacement plan for the act. They've got the "repeal" part down, though. "That's what we stand for. That's what we want to implement when we get the new majority next year, which we will," continued Scalise.
Earlier this year, The Washington Post reported that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy blamed the major Republican House losses on attempting to repeal and replace the ACA with a rushed plan that would end protections people with pre-existing conditions. When speaking privately to donors, McCarthy reportedly blamed the House's far-right Freedom Caucus for pushing the bill, a group which is now largely powerless.
New census data out last week, meanwhile, showed that the rate of Americans living without insurance rose by about 2 million people in 2018. About 8.5 percent of Americans, or 27.5 million people, did not have health coverage last year. That's up from 7.9 percent in 2017.
"This backsliding almost certainly reflects — at least in part — Trump Administration policies to weaken public health coverage," wrote Center on Budget and Policy Priorities president Robert Greenstein in a statement. "While the uninsured rate remains far below its pre-ACA level, the gains achieved through the ACA will entirely disappear if the Administration ultimately succeeds in its continued efforts to repeal the law through legislation and the courts."
I really can’t decide who is the dumbest, the GOP in the House or the conservatives that will vote for them. How many years have the Republicans had to come up with a plan for “lowering costs and protecting those with preexisting conditions” foe medical care? As to more choices.. That is code for substandard coverage.

”We would not be in this crisis of escalation if Trump didn’t pull out of the Iran Deal. It’s hard to think of a clearer and more predictable failure of a signature foreign policy than Trump’ rejection of something that was working just bc it was Obama’s achievement.”

I wonder if dimwit donnie understands that every time he does this it makes him look even more guilty.

"Item: Last week Republicans in the North Carolina House used the occasion of 9/11 to call a surprise vote, passing a budget bill with a supermajority to override the Democratic governor’s veto. They were able to do this only because most Democrats were absent, some of them attending commemorative events; the Democratic leader had advised members that they didn’t need to be present because, he says, he was assured there would be no votes that morning.
Item: Also last week, Representative Adam Schiff, the Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, issued a subpoena to the acting director of national intelligence, who has refused to turn over a whistle-blower complaint that the intelligence community’s inspector general found credible and of “urgent concern.” We don’t know what the whistle-blower was warning about, but we do know that the law is clear: Such complaints must be referred to Congress, no exceptions allowed.
On the surface, these stories may seem to be about very different things. The fight in North Carolina is basically about the G.O.P.’s determination to deny health care to low-income Americans; the governor had threatened to veto any budget that didn’t expand Medicaid. The whistle-blower affair probably involves malfeasance by high government officials, quite possibly President Trump, that in some way threatens national security.
What the stories have in common, however, is that they illustrate contempt for democracy and constitutional government. Elections are supposed to have consequences, conveying power to the winners. But when Democrats win an election, the modern G.O.P. does its best to negate the results, flouting norms and, if necessary, the law to carry on as if the voters hadn’t spoken."
I will never get over Mitch stealing a SCOTUS appointment. It was the beginning of the end of Democracy in America.

NYT: www.nytimes.com/2019/09/16/nyregion/trump-tax-returns-cy-vance.html8 Years of Trump Tax Returns Are Subpoenaed by Manhattan D.A.
Investigators demanded the president’s personal and corporate tax returns as they examine hush money paid to Stormy Daniels. "State prosecutors in Manhattan have subpoenaed President Trump’s accounting firm to demand eight years of his personal and corporate tax returns, according to several people with knowledge of the matter. The subpoena opens a new front in a wide-ranging effort to obtain copies of the president’s tax returns, which Mr. Trump initially said he would make public during the 2016 campaign but has since refused to disclose. The subpoena was issued by the Manhattan district attorney’s office late last month, soon after it opened a criminal investigation into the role that the president and his family business played in hush-money payments made in the run-up to the election. Both Mr. Trump and his company reimbursed Michael D. Cohen, the president’s former lawyer and fixer, for money Mr. Cohen paid to buy the silence of Stormy Daniels, a pornographic film actress who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump. The president has denied the affair. It was unclear if the broad scope of the subpoena indicated that the office had expanded its investigation beyond actions taken during the 2016 campaign. A spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., declined to comment. "
