Even a Republican denies Intelligence committee was honest.

Tom Rooney, a Republican Congressman from Florida, stated, unequivocally, that the House Intelligence Committee, actually had evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, in favor of Donald Trump. He said, "there is evidence" showing the Russians attempted to help Trump during the 2016 presidential election, contradicting a draft report from the panel. He continued, ”I certainly think there is evidence of that. I don't know that necessarily there was a full-fledged campaign to do everything that they could to help elect Donald Trump," Rooney told host Erin Burnett on CNN's "OutFront." "I think that their goal was chaos.”

The Intelligence Community has stated, and Rooney believes, that Moscow's intention "was to hurt Hillary Clinton," and that the Kremlin "wanted to explicitly help Donald Trump.” 

This action is further obstruction of justice by the Republicans in Congress. It is a political effort to cover up for and protect Trump, not the factual report. The problem is, the investigation and interviews, on and off the record, sorb to or not, created new leaks every day. These leaks got out, despite secrecy demands of the committee. "We've gone completely off the rails, and now we are just basically a political forum for people to leak information to drive the day's news," Rooney said. "We've lost all credibility, and we are going to issue probably two different reports, unfortunately.”


The committee chair, Mike Collins of Texas (of course), released a draft and closed the investigation without telling anyone it had been completed, Republicans leaders nor Democrats, Yet, within minutes of closing the investigation, the full 150-page report was already printed and ready to distribute. This was a planned blindside by ruthless Republicans. Of course, Trump believes this lie.

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.
