Where are all those deficit hawks who used to block every subsequent plan the Obama administration came up with to boost the economy during recession because they scolded that it would raise the deficit?

Hypocrites, thy name is the Republican Party.

Some televangelist named Gloria Copeland, who apparently is Trump's 'faith adviser' claims that the flu is all in our heads.  Despite the high hospitalization rate and death rate from the flu.

 

Flu season is all in our heads, Texas televangelist says: 'Inoculate yourself with the word of God'

 

Consequently, there is no current head of the CDC as Trump's pick withdrew her nomination after it was revealed that she had heavy investments in big tobacco.

 

Despite the high number of hospitalizations and deaths (particularly children) Twit-in-Chief has yet to mention this.  Even sadder still no one in the media seems to ask him or his pathetic WH spokesperson about this.

Ohio's possible end to gerrymandering could it be a bipartisan effort?

Wow. This is nuts.  The endless attacks on science from this administration are really disturbing. I guess the GOP know that the only way they will continue to have voters is to dumb down the population. Unfortunately, it's working.

 

Here's more idiocy from the GOP.

National Health Alert:
U.S. Rep Lamar Smith (R-Texas), chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, & Technology, has slated a full committee hearing for today with an agenda aimed squarely at attacking some of the world's top cancer scientists. Smith thinks the United States should not contribute funding to the International Agency for Research on Cancer’s (IARC). The IARC is part of the World Health Organization. Smith disagrees with the IARC’s scientific conclusion about glyphosate. IARC found that you glyphosate, an extremely common herbicide is “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

Her husband's ads used to run all the time. 

 

Apparently they also helped lead to a measles outbreak 10-15 years ago.

 

Money to the CDC is also running out. I have a feeling Trump's people probably just see money going to countries with people who aren't white and they lash out.

He's retiring, at least, although he's far from alone.

Apparently, Trump needs more adulation. Deficit, schmeficit. Like Russia and North Korea, Dotard has ordered a full military parade and the Pentagon is looking at possible dates.

 

Guess who's paying for it?

I wish I could move to Canada. I really, really, really do. I never, ever thought I'd be ashamed to be an American, but here we are.

Trump to Pentagon: "ME WANT PARADE!!"

 

Now, maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to ME that our nation's service men and women neither demand nor expect parades for the work they volunteer to do on all our behalf.  All they really ask for, IMO, is our thanks.

 

But, whatevs.  Democracy is dead!  Viva Trump!

I thought it was a joke too.  It's absolutely unbelievable and all to feed trump's ego, I'm sure.  Why isn't anyone saying no to this?  I've said this so many times over the last year, but everyday is a new pathetic surprise from Cadet Bone Spurs.

Why not spend the money to pay military better wages and help the homeless vets get permanent housing!!  

 

Maybe France could do a parade because they have socialized healthcare for everyone over there! 

Also, you don't hear/read anything about them having a population of homeless armed forces veterans.

the only thing I can think of now is that the Pentagon will drag this out so long he'll either be out of office or he'll forget about it, because like a child he can't keep his mind on any one thing for more than a day.

Meanwhile, ICYMI
