      Didn’t read the story and what I replied to the tweet barely make sense, but I was ultra annoyed that anybody would dare compare and/or contrast these two women.

      GE, Nena. Pretty sure trump would have sent off the invites because he now realizes he made a mistake canceling us out of the Iran deal, strictly because it was President Obama’s deal. I believe all the other parties, including Iran, went on without us. Now Iran is ignoring trump and he can’t claim credit for anything.

      Too bad, so sad. Hope he’s gone sooner rather than later.

    Next to my hood is the Crucial Election for Ohio’s 12th Congressional District (OH12) which is already in progress (early & absentee voting) and Special Election cast next Tuesday, Aug/7/2018;

    The OH12 needs your help;

    Please contact your friends, relatives and virtual phone bank to help get-out-the-vote;

    Money donations for the final push;

    • Most recent polling indicates that the vote is a statistical dead heat with:

    o Danny O’Connor (Democrat) at 43%; Troy Balderson (Republican) at 44%;

    Facts about OH12 :

    - it is a heavily Gerrymandered district since 2010;

    - Typically, this is a guaranteed republican-voting district : is published to lean 7% republican;

    - Congressional District has been in republican hands for the last 40 years;

    - traitor-in-chief won this district by 11% more than HRC in 2016;

    so if we as Dems win this Special Election, then it will be a huge boost for the election ….

    FOUR CITIES SUE TRUMP SAYING OBAMA CARE ‘SABOTAGE’ VIOLATES CONSTITUTION

    …The cities of Baltimore, Chicago, Columbus and Cincinnati filed the lawsuit in federal court in Maryland, arguing that Trump’s actions against the Affordable Care Act violate the Constitution’s provision that the president “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”

    The lawsuit states that Trump’s actions are “an affront to the rule of law: to our constitutional system, under which Congress enacts laws and the President faithfully implements them.” … http://hill.cm/tHvR7BY

      Incredible all the Canadians and Europeans commenting how all their emergency treatments were taken care of immediately. How these “I don’t want socialized medicine americans” claim you have to be put on waiting lists is such BS because they get information from Fox. I have heard people who live here that Canada made them wait for knee surgery, etc., will unless they were in severe pain and losing their leg, they could wait 6 months for knee surgery, HELL you wait months here too!

    From the policy of separating immigrant families, to limiting the power of labor unions, to naming the next justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, this summer the DeVos family name has been all over the news.

    Over the years, the parents, in-laws and husband of U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos have given hundreds of millions of dollars to conservative causes. And many of those causes are front and center of policy initiatives and goals of the Trump administration right now.

    VOTING SYSTEMS IN the United States are so woefully hackable, an eight-year-old could do it.

    At least, that’s the conceit of a competition co-sponsored by the Democratic National Committee at next week’s Def Con hacker conference in Las Vegas. The contest will include children, ages eight to 16, who will be tasked with penetrating replicas of the websites that secretaries of state across the country use to publish election results. They’ll vie for $2,500 in prize money, $500 of which will come from the DNC and be awarded to the kid who comes up with the best defensive strategy for states across the country.

    There were three different press secretaries during the Obama administration: Jay Carney and Robert Gibbs (shown here) and Josh Earnest. All of them would have absolutely agreed that the press is NOT the enemy of the people. For the current press secretary to refuse to say that when asked about it today, is a disgrace to every man and woman that has held the job of White House Press Secretary. #throwshadethenvote

      The enthusiasm and joy that you see frequently in photos of people who worked in the Obama Administration despite all of the obstacles that they faced from the seditious opposition of the GOP to the untrusting media, is part of what made us all feel more confident about our country and more secure during those eight years. And, the opposite feelings that we now experience are the result of the dangers, hypocrisy and illegality running rampant in the current administration. I sure miss the Obama Administration. Thank you, Pete Souza, for helping to keep the memories alive!

    ANALYSIS; WITHOUT TRUMP AND GOP, OBAMA CARE PREMIUMS WOULD FALL

    ObamaCare premiums would likely be decreasing next year if the Trump administration and congressional Republicans had left the law alone, according to a new study.

    The analysis from Matt Fiedler at the Brookings Institute found premiums would be 4.3 percent lower in a “stable policy environment” — meaning certain ObamaCare rules like the individual mandate were still in place, and access to short-term plans had not been expanded. … http://hill.cm/8tPmsL0
