He has no decency whatsoever. I saw this earlier. He is so consumed by himself and he proves it over and over again which makes me wonder why some of his supporters believed he cared diddly squat about the "little guy". And at the same time felt Hillary "was out of touch" even though she had a long track record working on social issues. That is the one thing that even today has me scratching my head. I just don't get it.

And then there's this guy....

7 sailors died, 7 soldiers shot in an "insider attack" in Afghanistan days after 3 were killed similarly.
And POTUS is tweeting about his approval ratings, yet the MAGA folks think we finally have someone in the WH who "supports the troops." It's disgusting.

Sunday night....
"Camp David is a very special place. An honor to have spent the weekend there. Military runs it so well and are so proud of what they do!"
He is so disingenuous it's hard to believe he means this. Or someone actually wrote it.

From FiveThirtyEight... "Trump can hang on to most of his base, and Democrats could still clean up in the midterm elections. 53eig.ht/2rM0UT1" Wouldn't that be nice. link

He is so disingenuous it's hard to believe he means this. Or someone actually wrote it. And he still neglects to mention those members of the well-camp-running military who lost their lives over the past 24 hours. He really is all about himself.

From Bernie Sanders....
"Join @senwarren and me for a Facebook Live conversation today at 3:30 pm EST on Republicans' health care plan."
It seems to me this would have more meaning if they actually had specifics to discuss instead of what they think or what they heard is in the Senate version of the bill.
In their rush to take over the Democratic Party these two are just going to confuse people even more then they already are.
Patience is the key. Once the Republican Senators release their version of the bill then the Democrats can attack with specifics instead of just maybes.
Sometimes I think the Democrats really are a sophisticated version of the Keystone Cops.

From David Axelrod...
"So when acts of terror are committed by Muslims, @potus can't wait to Tweet. When they are committed AGAINST Muslims, nothing."
trump's tweets define him as a man and as a president. Right now they are showing a very shallow petty man.

"Senate Ds threatening obstruction this week. But what's new? They refuse to lift a finger to help with runaway premiums under Obamacare."
Well maybe you dimwit you didn't give them a choice. The only option the Republicans were willing to work with was repeal repeal repeal!

An don't we have the afternoon edition for your reading pleasure...
"Ralph Norman, who is running for Congress in SC's 5th District, will be a fantastic help to me in cutting taxes, and...."
"....getting great border security and healthcare. #VoteRalphNorman tomorrow!"
Dear Republican voters in SC when tiny hands talks about tax cuts it's really only for corporations and the rich, border security is a wall the tax payers will have to pay for and a health care plan that will kick millions of folks who can least afford it off their insurance. So by all means SC vote for the Republican candidate.

And of course he has to comment on the race in GA...
"Karen Handel's opponent in #GA06 can't even vote in the district he wants to represent...."
"....because he doesn't even live there! He wants to raise taxes and kill healthcare. On Tuesday, #VoteKarenHandel."
I think you're confused here tiny hands. You and your gang of destroyers want to not only kill healthcare you want to gut programs that actually help people so you can cut taxes for yourself and your friends...

Finally about an hour ago. This has a picture of I is the Navy seal with a black ribbon.
"My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the 7 @usnavy sailors of the #USSFitzgerald and their families. ➡️navy.mil/submit/display…"
Thing is he did tweet something the day after the accident before they found their bodies. And if I'm not mistaken is the same words and they just added the black ribbon.

I am completely surrounded by the 6th district but my neighborhood was gerrymandered out after the last census because it's too diverse. Makes. me. sick.

From the Daily Beast...
"The U.S. military will fly anywhere, but de facto, we may—at least for a while—fly mostly in safer areas.”
So we blinked.
Don't get me wrong I'm not for putting our pilots in harms way. But we bombed Syrian forces after they bombed US backed Rebels. Russia made a threat and we seem to be backing down. If we are going to accelerate a situation then we had better not turn tail and run because someone flexes their muscles. We do that too often and we won't be taken seriously when it counts.

Hmmmmm. Trump's lawyer said he wasn't under investigation even though Trump himself tweeted it. His explanation was that Trump only had 140 characters and he was just repeating what the media was saying.
Reading his tweets today, he certainly found a way to get around the 140 characters, by tweeting twice. Why didn't he when he was just "reiterating what the media said" about being under investigation? I call BS.

Here's hoping>>>>>>> U.S. Supreme Court set to hear Wisconsin gerrymandering case

Has a sitting POTUS ever campaigned or told people who vote for before? I don't recall that behaviour from Obama or Bush.

They have been known to campaign for a candidate but not in the petty way trump does. President Obama and VP Biden campaigned for Hillary. It depends if the candidate wants them to or not.

2010 tweet from Governor Mike Pence.... "It's simply wrong for legislation that'll affect 100% of the American people to be negotiated behind closed doors - ow.ly/W9gq #hcr" But I guess it's ok now? Where is the outrage from those who were always on here talking about the lack transparency from the Obama Administration? Compared to the "transparency" trump and the Republicans in Congress are showing President Obama's Administration were down right blabber mouths..

I just don't know why this "gerrymandering" is legal! You should watch the John Oliver piece on gerrymandering! Not only is it very informative but it's actually pretty funny the way he describes it. Here you go: Gerrymandering (Word to the wise, he does use some colorful language.)

And while there's plenty of disgust for the gerrymandering by the Republicans, the Democrats had been pretty busy with that shit here in Illinois. Here's some good examples: District MapAnd this districting makes a lot of sense: District MapBoth sides play frickin' dirty.
