VERY IMPORTANT! - trump successfully diverted attention all week with his false rhetoric, tweets and insults, defaming veterans, Puerto Ricans, widows of dead soldiers, a Black Congresswoman, and who knows how much more, while his new, "old friend," Mitch McConnell set his Mongol Army on American Citizens.
trump is the beginning of the final chapter of the Republican effort to show, Democracy doesn't work. The Country doesn't work. To bring down the Whole Country and Stephen Bannon STATED VERBALLY and in PRINT he wanted to do. Reduce the Federal Government to a small "caretaker" government, where the citizens MUST rely strictly on their own for survival, no matter the circumstances. NO ENTITLEMENTS of any source (MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY ARE NOT ENTITLEMENTS. 
BEWARE OF trump's TRICKS. Now you can see how they work. 
> trump did his job. While he diverted the country with his insults and inane comments, lies and B.S., and the media assisted him by promoting his childish, playground rhetoric, without much fanfare, the Republican Senate SILENTLY passes a 10-year Budget which…
CUT MEDICARE BY $473 BILLION
When Democrats tried to REINSTATE THOSE CUTS…
> REPUBLICANS VOTED NO! - During the long 2016 campaign, we were told repeatedly, by trump and other Republicans, that MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY would be safe and untouched. 
When Democrats tried to reinstate Republic deductions of State and Local taxes from Federal reporting…
> REPUBLICANS VOTED NO, ALLOWING FOR DOUBLE TAXATION - The tax plan’s rate cuts are more tilted to the top than the state and local taxes deductions. That’s part of the reason why, when key elements of the plan would be fully in effect(2027), 80 percent of the plan’s net tax cuts would go to the TOP 1 percent of Americans, the Tax Policy Center estimates.
When Democrats proposed restoring the $1 Trillion CUTs from MEDICAID…
> REPUBLICANS VOTED NO! - During the long 2016 campaign, we were told repeatedly, by trump and other Republicans, that MEDICAID would be safe. 
The Republican Tax Plan includes a waiver regarding the CBO. The Congressional Budget Office scores all bills to determine the financial effect on revenues, GOOD AND BAD. The results of this waiver must be submitted 28 hours PRIOR to debate on that issue. HOWEVER, Republicans often “waive” that requirement in order to begin debate BEFORE MOST MEMBERS OF THE SENATE HAVE EVEN SEEN THE BILL OIR THE FINANCIAL EVALUATIONS.
When Democrats tried to rescind that waiver…
> REPUBLICANS VOTED NO! - How can the Senate debate a bill which they have NOT SEEN or that has not been SCORED? It’s typical. They tried with the ACA as well. A HANDFUL not Republicans BULLY their way through.

Education is the key to civility

Republicans have been in a “war” against public education for many decades; invariably against funding to support America’s most vital institution(s).  Techniques are to oppose state and Federal  initiatives to decrease taxes spent to support public schooling in states under their control; encourage charter schools owned by wealthy, private Republican donors; supporting anti-education individuals to “run” the State and Federal systems (DeVoss?); allow absurd tuition increases; closing schools in desperately needed areas; cutting educators’ salaries; lacking raises, pensions,  maintenance, supply, extracurricular activities, new books and supportive materials; and, much more. They profess their “support” of education; even falsely claiming to be the “party of education.” This includes K-12, H.S. and College/University levels.  Schoolbooks, such as those produced primarily by the Texas Republican State Board of Education, deny mention of significant historic...

Babyman has a conniption fit

There is no there with the Tyrant-in-Charge of our new autocracy. He usurped the Senate by taking over supervision of Mitch McConnell, as he did to Paul Ryan, a man who turned into a eunuch under Trump. I wonder what Trump’s offered these members of the Sycophant Party? Pelosi used her authority to determine risk in presenting the State of the Union, saying he could submit it in writing, the usual procedure until the 1970s. Babyman had a conniption fit, canceling Pelosi ’s plane ride to Afghanistan, offering support to our military, and gaining vital information from the front lines. This trip was to understand the issues better, an opportunity always allowed to Congressional leaders.  He claimed it was due to the shutdown and just a publicity tour. However, that didn’t keep him from a photo op trip to Iraq or allowing a Republican delegation to go, or allowing Melania to fly to Mar-a-Lago, on U.S. aircraft, all during the shutdown.

I still have some people - not many - who support trump, as it turns out. Even those of my persuasion. They think trump is good for the U.S. because he supports Israel. I agree, that's great. And, despite what trump created with Obama's being a Muslim, born in Kenya, even Obama was supportive of Israel. Netanyahu was rude to Obama, even during the campaign which people forget about, and still, Obama was kind a respectful.  AGAIN, I say, trump's decision to back out of the Iranian deal would allow Iran to return to their Nuclear dreams, which is NOT good for Israel or the U.S. They would firstTHREATEN Israel often and Blackmail the U.S. That is common sense when you take time to think about it.
