From Paul Walkman....
"Is Bernie's single payer plan realistic? Of course not! But that's OK. I explain why here:"
That's the problem with Bernie's ideas they are all "pie in the sky" ideas. Nice to ponder but unrealistic enact.
And now he has President wannabe Senators following all over themselves to be part of this grand plan.
Don't get me wrong I don't have a problem with single payer healthcare and at some point this country may go that route. But probably not in my or Bernie's lifetime.
I'm with Nancy Pelosi that at this time we need to protect and fix the ACA and keep it going until this can switch to single payer health care.

NBC News....
"Trump FEMA nominee withdraws after NBC News raises questions about falsified records"
1. trump continues to pick the "best & the brightest" for these jobs.
2. It will either be the "obstructionist Democrats" or the "fake media" that caused this person to quit.

trump....
"With Irma and Harvey devastation, Tax Cuts and Tax Reform is needed more than ever before. Go Congress, go!"
Prompted this response from Dan Pfeiffer...
"Many people whose homes have been destroyed are saying that their first priority is a tax cut for the wealthy and big business"
To which Paul Ryan maintains a tax cut will not increase the deficit.

From Politico.....
"President Donald Trump declared Wednesday that the rich won’t be getting richer under his administration’s tax plan and even signaled a willingness to raise taxes on the wealthy.
“The rich will not be gaining at all with this plan,” he told reporters ahead of a meeting with a bipartisan group of House members at the White House."
The lies trump tells are just unbelievable.

Ari Berman....
"Trump commission wants voter data of every American but DOJ redacting names of commissioners"
So this commission wants all our voter information but feels it's ok to "hide" who is deciding what to do with the information. Now isn't that nice.

"Coast Guard evacuates 99 people, including 21 children, and 13 pets from U.S. Virgin Islands after Hurricane #Irma. abcn.ws/2w9sWhV"
This is what the Coast Guard does. This is the agency who's budget trump wants to cut or gut. The reason is so he can have his wall and tax cuts. Sad!

Regarding the bolded, I can't decide how that would make me feel- better or worse about him. If that is/was the case, maybe he should find out what things/people do before he haphazardly goes about slashing and cutting. and quit with the "who knew?" when he finds stuff out that everyone/many knew all along.

LA Times... "After an earthquake and a hurricane — and Trump's failure to send condolences — Mexico rescinds aid offer to U.S. lat.ms/2gYZx3u" Jerk still hasn't said anything about the earthquake in Mexico . And for that matter nothing about the damage Irma did to the non US Islands. He really is a disgrace & an embarrassment to this country. 🚫 #MAGA I wish I could live in denial here. Seriously. Another country--a neighboring country--offered aid after a natural disaster while also experiencing a natural disaster and he says nothing?? NOTHING?? Silence to the point they rescind the aid offer? Exactly how arrogant and ungrateful does one have to be for this to happen? #soembarassing #canipretendthisisntreal #ungratefulentitledprick

I never cease to be shocked and amazed at just how ignorant, how self-absorbed, and how freakin' stupid and just plain wrong-headed that man can be. And the basket of deplorables he brought along with him. grrrrr
And now I'm going to sit here and wait for some Republican to come along and hand-slap me for never having anything nice to say about him. You're right. I got nothing.

Greg Sargent about the tax cuts....
"Tax cuts will not only deliver us to economic nirvana, they’ll rebuild your flooded city, restore power to your blacked-out state, and maybe even give you a firm tummy and gleaming white teeth. Is there anything they CAN'T do?"

From tiny hands....,
"Spoke to President of Mexico to give condolences on terrible earthquake. Unable to reach for 3 days b/c of his cell phone reception at site."
That may be true but you tell sooo many lies we just don't for sure. However until today you didn't even bother to tweet your condolences. I'm sure your condolences would have found there way to the Mexican People. And I'm pretty sure Mexico has land lines. You know calling the old fashion way.

AP...
"House Speaker Paul Ryan says GOP wants to enact a tax cut into law by the end of this year."
The way I see it yo do this the GOP has two choices especially since Harvey & Irma.
1. The deficit will sore.
2. They will short change the aid to Florida and Texas. And gut Medicaid and cut other programs that actually
Neither is worth a tax cut.

From trump in response to Bernie and his single payer health care....
."....I told Republicans to approve healthcare fast or this would happen. But don't worry, I will veto because I love our country & its people."
I read today per the CBO his "management" of the ACA is going to result in even higher premiums and fewer folks getting coverage. That being the case it's really hard to believe his last sentence.
