The Trumps and the Truth

The best defense against future revelations is radical transparency.

GOP Seeks to Close Federal Election Agency

House Republicans are seeking to defund the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, the sole federal agency that exclusively works to ensure the voting process is secure. The agency was subject to a hacking attack last fall.

...out the message that the analysis of the ObamaCare repeal bill expected from the CBO in the next few days will be "fake news". Galvanizing their base to parrot their 'assessment' -- before the dang thing has been released.

Just watch how many RW web sites will fall in line.

Chalky ETS, you need to read the article or work on your reading comprehension skills.

The White House is saying the report from the CBO will be 'fake'.

Collusion defense, RIP

Trump's old defense on collusion is now dead

What Donald Jr. did may not be criminal. But it is not merely stupid. It is also deeply wrong, a fundamental violation of any code of civic honor.

Russian operatives

May I just ask how these suspected Russian operatives got into the country in the first place? How and why did our security agencies let them in?

EasTexSteve You're obviously not paying attention. Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American activist, admitted acting as a link between Ukraine's Washington Embassy and the Democratic National Committee. Sergei Leshchenko, elected in 2014 as an MP for Poroshenko's party, had offered ledgers to the DNC claiming to damage Trump.

US Health Care, Dead Last Again!

Well, a new health care study titled "Mirror, Mirror 2017: International Comparison Reflects Flaws and Opportunities for Better U.S. Health Care" is out, and America's health care system came in last - again. All the while, we are spending twice what other countries are spending!!!!!

T.E.C. - Iowa You are setting up an unnecessary requirement. The study I am citing is a 2017 study and American health care is still unbelievably horrifying. Obamacare passed in 2010 and we are still far worse than any other country. If Obamacare was the panacea you want to claim, this study should have shown us something "significant." It did not!

Bob R/CA If you don't have a prior measurement, how can you make any claim about improvement? You must know you can't make that argument without a second data point.

Why Putin Hates Hillary -- for those who have swallowed Trump's latest spew about Putin preferring her.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/clinton-putin-226153

Why Putin hates Hillary

Behind the allegations of a Russian hack of the DNC is the Kremlin leader's fury at Clinton for challenging the fairness of Russian elections.

Bob R/CA My comment was in regard to ETS's claim, that "Putin wanted Hillary to win." My response: There are people who actually believe this. I am certain Trump is not one of them.

Chalky Bob, my comment was in reply to ETS's "you're joking with this" post.

Wish we had a 'quote' feature instead of having to use copy/paste...which I forget to do sometimes. :)
