From CNN.. ”Gary M. Reedy, chief executive officer of the American Cancer Society and American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, told CNN that the 2017 findings are not connected to the actions of the Trump administration. I am SOOOOO glad that they're finally starting to call him out on his bullshit lying!

I can't imagine supporting Mayor Pete anymore. linkI would want to validate the data in the story as Cenk Uygur is not what I would consider a reputable source. I am also not confident that Pete is a feminist, so he is not my candidate either, but I question the credibility of the link as well. True, but I imagine they did verify. Much of this - the lawsuit, anyway - would be public record.

Bill Kristol...
”In the midst of arguments over the Senate trial rules, let’s not lose sight of this: Trump hasn’t testified. He’s stopped key witnesses from testifying. His defenders want to stop witnesses from testifying. It’s almost as if...Trump’s guilty, and his defenders know he’s guilty.”

(I'm betting that DT has never cleaned anything up in his life.) Maybe not hands on but he surely has sometimes paid for it to be done... He has had more than a few fixers in his life. Unfortunate for them, they are ending up in jail! The only thing he's ever cleaned is all of the money he has laundered.

Much of this - the lawsuit, anyway - would be public record. Not everything is as presented. When I saw Michael Harriot wrote the article I quite reading it. Michael Harriot is the guy who wrote a piece calling Mayor Pete a motherf#+”$% because of his (Harriots) interpretation of something Mayor Pete said about black children, school & roll models. Shortly after that piece was dropped other members in the black community wrote pieces saying that wasn’t what Mayor Pete meant. So if this story makes it to mainstream media I’ll pay more attention. Mayor Pete actually called this guy and later had a sit down interview with him.

Daniel Dale.. ”It was obvious that Trump wasn’t responsible for the continuation of a 26-year trend. Still, it’s relatively rare that big entities are willing to contradict Trump even on obvious stuff, and I’m grateful when they do comment, as the CEO of the ACS did.” I guess I wasn’t the only one who thought trump was somehow trying to take credit for the drop in cancer related deaths. It seems the CEO of the American Cancer Society thinks so to. From CNN.. ”Gary M. Reedy, chief executive officer of the American Cancer Society and American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, told CNN that the 2017 findings are not connected to the actions of the Trump administration. I am SOOOOO glad that they're finally starting to call him out on his bullshit lying! My thoughts are that with all the EPA regulations gone the numbers will rise, which WILL be dt's fault!

Surprise! Like we didn't know. President Trump indicated Thursday the White House would seek to limit testimony from former national security adviser John Bolton if he were called to testify in a Senate impeachment trial.
Trump reiterated that he would defer to the Senate on whether Bolton would be allowed to testify, but made clear the White House may seek to claim executive privilege to limit what he could say."I'd have to ask the lawyers because we do have to — to me, for the future — we have to protect presidential privilege," he continued. "When we start allowing national security advisers to just go up and say whatever they want to say, we can’t do that." "So we have to protect presidential privilege. For me, but for future presidents," he added. "People can’t go up and say whatever my thoughts are, whatever your thoughts are about us, countries' views. You don't want that to be out." The White House blocked several witnesses from testifying during the House impeachment inquiry last year. Bolton said in a statement Monday that he would be willing to testify in a Senate impeachment trial if subpoenaed, even over administration objections. ** thehill.com/homenews/administration/477553-trump-signals-white-house-would-try-to-restrict-bolton-testimony

Huber is almost done! Maybe 'lock her up' is over. ** A Department of Justice inquiry into Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation has effectively concluded without producing tangible results, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
The investigation has not formally ended and no official notice has been sent to the Justice Department or lawmakers, but the the U.S. attorney tapped in November 2017 to look into the concerns raised by President Trump and allies has largely finished his investigation, according to current and former law enforcement officials that spoke to the Post. The investigation started after Trump and GOP allies in Congress raised concerns over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s ties to a Russian nuclear agency and the Clinton Foundation. Huber was tapped by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to look into the matters. “We didn’t expect much of it, and neither did he,” one person familiar with the matter told the Post. “And as time went on, a lot of people just forgot about it.” ** thehill.com/homenews/administration/477641-doj-inquiry-tied-to-clinton-and-touted-by-trump-winds-down-with-no

linkIt seems Sanders is like other politicians that feels it’s ok to lie if it means it helps them win.. From PolitiFact.. “Did Biden laud a Paul Ryan proposal to cut Social Security as Bernie Sanders’ campaign said?”
Ruling ”The Sanders campaign plucked out part of what Biden said but omitted the full context of his comments. We rate this statement False. ” I wonder what these politicians would do if you told them the first misleading item or lie you tell you won’t get my vote period.

Steven Rattner..
”Today’s 145k m/m gain in payrolls puts the hiring tally under Trump at a term avg of 193k per month. That’s notably shy of Obama’s last 3 years in office when gains averaged 224k per month (1.1 million more workers in total).”
The other interesting tidbit I heard on the radio this morning is the growth in wages has to do more with increases in the minimum wage and not from increasesbin the wages of non minimum wage higher wage workers.

linkInteresting little nugget buried in this WSJ story.. “Mr. Trump, after the strike, told associates he was under pressure to deal with Gen. Soleimani from GOP senators he views as important supporters in his coming impeachment trial in the Senate, associates said.”& ”In the strike on Gen. Soleimani, some high-ranking officials who ordinarily would be consulted in advance—and leaned on to later explain it publicly—said they learned of the action from news reports. That evening, Mr. Trump retweeted a picture of the Stars and Stripes. So now we know the real reason trump took out that general. Be was paying/bribing US Senators for their votes for the upcoming impeachment trial.

From the idiot Pompeo
“I have asked @usdot to suspend all public charter flights to #Cuba, except Havana, and to firmly limit public charters to Havana. This action prevents the Castro regime from using the profit from revenues to repress the Cuban people.”
Since most of the tourist dollars goes to the Cuban people I would think stopping that revenue would actually “repress the Cuban people” .
They sure like to spin things. China is paying the tariffs not the American Worker or consumer. Denying the Cuban people tourist dollars will stop them from being repressed. we took at that general because we know we just know sometime down the road there will be another attack and stopping that general will make us all safer.
I think what really gets my goat is how stupid they think we are.

The young man hem and hawed and finally said I don’t know but I support him” Unbelievable. In the words of lucyg we are indeed doomed if these individuals are supporting trump and they don’t know why.

From Third Way. Something all Democrats should ponder..
“The 2018 Midterms: A Blueprint for Democrats in 2020”
The conventional wisdom pre-election held that the Democratic energy was on the far-left. But the actual voters chose moderates and delivered wins where Democrats need them. Indeed, the House and Governors races of 2018 offer the blueprint for beating Donald Trump: avoid going too far left and go with mainstream Democratic candidates and ideas.
The House: The new majority was delivered almost entirely by moderates.
Primary Voters Chose Moderates: The moderate House New Democrats won 86% of primary races in red-to-blue districts. The far-left Our Revolution won just 37% of their contests.
Moderates Flipped Seats: 33 moderate New Democrat-endorsed candidates flipped red House seats to blue. That’s more than 79% of the total Democratic flips. Not a single Our Revolution-endorsed candidate captured a red seat. Zero. Moderates Won in 2020 Battlegrounds: In the critical presidential battleground states, those moderate New Democratic candidates elected seven new House members, including two flips in MI, two in PA, one in AZ, one in IA, and a hold in NH.
Governors: Midwest and battleground states chose moderate Democrats.
Moderates Delivered Statehouses: Moderate Democrats won 6 of 10 general elections for governor in the Midwest and other presidential battleground states. Moderates Rebuilt the Blue Wall: Moderate Democratic governors won the Blue Wall states of MI, PA, and WI by a combined 1.3 million votes (55-44%) compared to a 100,000 vote loss by Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Ideas: Winning candidates ignored the far-left litmus test issues like Medicare-for-All.
Democratic Ads: Democrats in competitive House races ran away from Medicare-for-all. Of the 967 TV ads they aired between Labor Day and Election Day, only 2 mentioned support for single-payer health care or Medicare-for-All. Both of those candidates lost winnable seats.
Republican Ads: Republicans in competitive races ran towards Medicare-for-All, running ads in at least two dozen competitive races trying to tag Democratic candidates for allegedly supporting Medicare-for-All.
Far-Left Agenda: No Democrat in a competitive House district ran even one TV ad on the other cornerstone far-left ideas: free 4-year college, a federal jobs guarantee, or a $15 minimum wage.
Democrats had a spectacular midterm election. It was not an accident, and it wasn’t just hatred of Trump. The candidates represented diversity of race, gender, and sexual orientation, as well as the diversity of Democratic ideological views. And crucially, in places where Democrats absolutely needed to flip seats to regain the majority, they nominated and elected passionate moderates with fresh, pragmatic ideas. That is how to beat Trump in 2020.

Hogan Gidley...
”Soleimani was, in fact, planning "imminent attacks." While Democrats and the media quibble over its definition, quick point: When Obama killed bin Laden, al-Awlaki and Gaddafi, without Congressional approval, there were NO "imminent attacks" and Democrats did not ask or care.”
Devin Barrett...
”last week the Vice President said there were 12 hijackers on 9/11. In fact, there were 19. This week, White House spokesman says the US killed Gaddafi, whose capture and grim end at the hands of an angry Libyan mob is on very available video.”
I guess if you are a Republican facts don’t matter anymore. And taking out the individual leader of a terrorist group or someone who mastermind a plan that killed over 3,000 innocent America citizens is different than taking out a top official in the government of a foreign country.

someone who commented on this apparently counted the number of times DT sniffed during that address. (he really took one for the team, there- I couldn't bring myself to listen at all!) According to this guy, DT sniffed FIFTY-EIGHT times during that address. He was clearly on something, probably his Adderall. Funny/tragic: Yesterday Dean Obeidallah (I think) said DT reading that address sounded very much like a hostage reading a prepared statement. You could tell the words were NOT "his" words or his viewpoint, at all. They had him very reined in for this statement (via the Adderall, probably) to keep him focused and stop him from going off the rails. I have to say that I have not known anyone taking adderall to have problems with sniffling, unless they also have problems with tics. I think his breathing and sniffling during speeches is highly annoying, but it could be due to anxiety, tics or just trying to be poised which is not natural to him. Read up on Noel Casler. He's on Insta & Twitter. He was behind the scenes on The Apprentice for years and knew enough about 45 & his kids. Lots of Adderall abuse and the rumors about him doing coke too. I wasn't surprised. All of Trump's claims about never drinking or doing drugs was/is a joke. He never had the need for a real Rx of Adderall. It's used as speed.
