Dick Allen Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Trump spending money studying building more coal plants. Sweet. also on Fox and Friends one of the hosts put on a skit yesterday looking through the “failing, fake news”NYT. Saying he couldn’t find a story about the 5 ISIS leaders that were captured. He was correct, there was no story in Friday’s paper. They reported it Wednesday, even before Supreme Leader tweeted it. You have to love State News.

caulfield12 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Big problems at the VA as Jared-backed health-care project gets ‘devastating’ review ARTHUR ALLEN SCOOP -- “Kushner-backed health care project gets ‘devastating’ review”: “The first stage of a multibillion-dollar military-VA digital health program championed by Jared Kushner has been riddled with problems so severe they could have led to patient deaths, according to a report obtained by POLITICO. “The April 30 report expands upon the findings of a March POLITICO story [https://politi.co/2G8MJOV] in which doctors and IT specialists expressed alarm about the software system, describing how clinicians at one of four pilot centers, Naval Station Bremerton, quit because they were terrified they might hurt patients, or even kill them. Experts who saw the Pentagon evaluation — it lists 156 ‘critical’ or ‘severe’ incident reports with the potential to result in patient deaths — characterized it as ‘devastating.’ “‘Traditionally, if you have more than five [incident reports] at that high a level, the program has significant issues,’ a member of the testing team told POLITICO. “The project’s price tag and political sensitivity — it was designed to address nagging problems with military and veteran health care at a cost of about $20 billion over the next decade — means it is ‘just another ‘too big to fail’ program,’ the tester said. ‘The end result everyone is familiar with — years and years of delays and many billions spent trying to fix the mess.’” https://politi.co/2jOZs0m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Joking about McCain’s (impending) death is the “new normal” The issue with all of this is that it bastardized a very legitimate issue -- the growing income (and everything else) gap between the rich and the poor -- for Trump's own political purposes. He drove the divide for political reasons and, in his language, made it totally OK to say whatever you wanted about people you disagreed with because they had been out to get you for years. This was just payback. And man did they deserve it. Nuance went out the window. Speaking hard truths that the country needed to hear -- as McCain has done throughout his career -- became indistinguishable from calling Sen. Ted Cruz's wife ugly or suggesting that we need to ban Muslims from entering the country. Political incorrectness became a crutch to justify racist and xenophobic views. And in the middle of it all was Trump. When he wasn't engaging in these behaviors, he was refusing to condemn them -- an example of his abdication of the idea of the President as moral leader. Who am I to say who is right and who is wrong in the Charlottesville violence, Trump asked. Who am I to judge who is telling the truth -- Roy Moore or the multiple women who said he had pursued relationships with them when they were teenagers? That view has trickled down. When CNN's Chris Cuomo asked State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert on Friday to comment on the "joke" about McCain's death, Nauert responded: "I'm not familiar with what you're familiar with." Really? Nauert hadn't heard about the story? I find that very, very hard to believe. That collective shrug from the President of the United States and his allies coupled with the extant factors of our internal divisions and the sort of campaign he ran in 2016 created the toxic stew from which comments like the one Thursday by Sadler grow. No one is standing up and saying "We can't treat people like this." And sadly, that vacuum in moral leadership means that the better angels of our nature are being drowned out by our demons. https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/11/politics/donald-trump-john-mccain-death/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Jared/Ivanka for President of the United States on America in 2024 over Pence/Lieberman, lol... Okay, Pence/Ryan, although I’m not sure if he can stomach being a VP on another ticket. He’ll undoubtedly go after the nomination himself against Pence.
