Here's another gem.  Trump's visit to Israel and he makes a remark about "just getting back from the Middle East"   

 

 

This is day two of the trip, and he’s about to do more flying. He’s only going to get crankier and more error-prone from here:

Trump, in remarks before meeting with Rivlin, says "we just got back from the Middle East."

I knew this trip would be one gaffe after the next, although I expected it to be even worse tbh.

The guy on the couch is the Israeli ambassador to the U.S.

"Former Ohio state Senator Nina Turner, who endorsed Sanders in 2016, was on hand to back Ellis, and said that California contest reflected the same divisions that roiled the party’s chairmanship battle at the national level. 

 

She said Ellis garnered “the same energy that [Minnesota Rep.] Keith Ellison had until the establishment came in and choked the life out of people.’’ While Democratic leaders backed by big money interests “want to talk about Russia and Mr. Trump,’’ she said, they are ignoring “the movement of the people” on bedrock issues like health care."

 

I'm embarrassed that say that Nina Turner was my state senator. She had a fairly promising career before following Bernie into the void. The fact that these people can't see that getting rid of Trump is job one is an example of why they are so destructive.

They're right about the party elite. The current leadership just continues to compound past mistakes with their exclusiveness and $1000 soirées. If the Democrats weren't so blind, there would never have been an opening for a challenge. But it's business as usual. 

SCOTUS gave the GOP in NC a huge defeat ruling against the gerrymandering in NC, Take a look at the attached for the maps showing it, SCOTUS tossed out the entire top map today.

Looks like the Director of the NSA has damning memos of Trump too...

And even Clarence Thomas agreed that it was skewed toward the highly partisan (and let's face it, racist) That's when you know it must have been egregious!

This gives me hope for the cases in places like Wisconsin also,

Dems demand answers on report that admin tried to trade ObamaCare payments

 

These is seen (with good reason) as an underhanded tactic to gut the ACA. HHS denies that this has taken place. With so many lies uttered by Trump, are those in his administration any less deceptive? Can they be believed?  

I'm skeptical of their protestations to this accusation.

 

 

Also, the Kushners are slumlords apparently. Anyone surprised?

This is an pretty good chat on Bernie Sanders facebook page between he and voting rights and campaign finance expert Rick Hasen. Very good and clearcut for folks who have a hard time understanding the issues around voting certain demographics face.  I will say I am glad to see Sanders talking about this.

In case he didn't get the message with the hand swat in Israel.

There should be some way to hold Hannity accountable.  

Either someone at FXNC grew a conscience or they realized they couldn't risk more derision from the public.

Hannity's former colleague, Bill O'Reilly, was forced off the air, not because of the vile things he said and did, but because advertisers weren't having it any longer.  I feel like a similar reprimand would be in order for ol' Seannie.

MSNBC beat CNN & Fox News in the ratings. Wow.
