    Trump takes absolutely no responsibility for anything ...

    The total failure of the Senate Trumpcare bill was foreseen by many as it was done in secrecy in order to hide exactly what it was ...a massive 33B USD tax cut for the rich....and a total gutting of basically any healthcare.

    AND it was the Trump GOP Senate under complete control of the Senate bill process that could not even get 50 votes to proceed to debate the bill...telling actually...

    BUT Trump bashes someone else not himself WHO he sold to his voters as this "great deal maker"...

    Donald J. Trump‏
    @realDonaldTrump

    I just finished a great meeting with the Republican Senators concerning HealthCare. They really want to get it right, unlike OCare!

    BUT their very own bill could not even get 50 votes to proceed to a debate..and GOP controls Senate...total failure being sold in a different light it seems...

    Donald J. Trump‏
    @realDonaldTrump

    With ZERO Democrats to help, and a failed, expensive and dangerous ObamaCare as the Dems legacy, the Republican Senators are working hard!

    AS if it was up to the Democrats to defeat their own law....

    ACTUALLY what Trump is not saying is that he could in fact truly fix the broken parts of Obamacare and the Democrats would work with him WHICH has been reflected in recent polling showing a majority of Americans actually want to keep Ocare but just fix the broken pieces of it....

    BUT Trump and GOP are adement for a 33B USD tax cut for the rich....AND to destroy anything that Obama passed as laws and or regulations...

    Manafort declares $17.1M in just two years, leaving eight years of his work in Ukraine unaccounted for.

    Real figure must be astronomical.

    So what a US political consultant do to earn 17.1M USDs in jut two years and then in the remaining eight years...in a country noted for it's extreme version of Soviet style corruption?????

    It is estimated that the Ukrainian President he was supporting when he fled Ukraine let with money equalling an entire year of a normal Ukrainian national budget....literally billions.......

    So now we have the US SoS secretly calling the Russian FM to warn him what the WH was about to say publicly....

    So was this the Trump deflection move to divert the MSM from his Russian investigation or his Trumpcare...NO it was all about FAKE NEWS..... ......

    So Tillerson called Lavrov hours before WH threat to Damascus and Lavrov told him nothing would happen "as always."
    http://www.thedailybeast.com/white-h...-insiders-say#

    Hours before the White House issued an ominous warning to Syria’s dictator against launching another chemical assault, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson gave the same message to Bashar Assad’s patron in Moscow, The Daily Beast has learned.
    According to a knowledgeable senior administration official, Tillerson warned his counterpart, Sergei Lavrov: the U.S. sees that Russia and Syria may be prepping for another chemical weapons attack; and that there will be consequences if Assad follows through with it.
    All this occurred this week as President Donald Trump displayed what two White House officials characterized as relative indifference and passivity towards the subject, instead opting to focus his public and private energies towards fuming at his domestic enemies in the Democratic Party and the “fake news.”
    “The president cares more about CNN and the Russia story than [Syria] at the moment,” one official observed

    Trump's twitter account has gained another 100,000 "Followers" literally overnight....

    That makes a grand total of 900,000 in less than 12 days....someone is paying a lot of money to build up an automated bot net of non human "Followers"...all of these 900,000 are controlled from outside the US....

    Interesting as this comment has not made it to MSM as of yet.....and maybe it will not....

    Sen. Warner just said on @maddow that Senate Intel Cmte has received TWO THOUSAND PAGES of docs from FinCEN re: #TrumpRussia


    That is one heck of a massive data dump..........and just on Trump and his associates and their financial information especially from overseas.....

    IF this President would only learn that you cannot run a government the size of the US on twitter and 140 characters...it will end in you going over a cliff and not even realizing it....

    WHICH is where Trump is right now...he is actually addicted to twitter it seems.....it is where he let's his anger and hate out for all to see and read....

    SAD.....We urgently need a true leader capable of healing both sides of this election one side that won the general vote and the other that might have actually received some sort of assistance from the Russian Intelligence Services and Putin.....not a 3 year old throwing a temper tantrum in the sandbox because someone took his plastic truck away from him....

    Boy is he on a rant today...must have been the massive Trumpcare loss yesterday.....

    Donald J. Trump‏
    @realDonaldTrump

    The #AmazonWashingtonPost, sometimes referred to as the guardian of Amazon not paying internet taxes (which they should) is FAKE NEWS!

    So someone explain this one to me...the last time I ordered something from Amazon Europe and US...I got hit with a sales tax...

    Betting if the Washington Post is not paying a single dime in taxes they are simply just following Trump's lead who stated in a campaign debate "that it is great that he pays no taxes as that is what smart businessmen do" and he stated "I am smart".....

    Donald J. Trump‏
    @realDonaldTrump

    Some of the Fake News Media likes to say that I am not totally engaged in healthcare. Wrong, I know the subject well & want victory for U.S.

    BUT WAIT...this is the same President that recently and publicly stated "I did not know healthcare was so difficult"...this is the same President ..right.....

    SO a challenge to Trump..."What is an actuarial value???? Taken straight out of the ObamaCare and refused by Trumpcare as well...

    Donald J. Trump‏
    @realDonaldTrump

    The failing @nytimes writes false story after false story about me. They don't even call to verify the facts of a story. A Fake News Joke!

    WHY should a so called from Trump FAKE News media outlet even attempt to call Trump after he has called them FAKE NEWS....it is a waste of time on their part AS Trump only answers FAKE questions fluffed to him by FOX News..

    BUT WAIT...the NYTs has the highest subscriber rates in the last years all thanks to Trump's bashing

    Question directed to Trump since he claims FAKE media does not ask him any questions.....

    Could you have put down your twitter thumb yesterday if the US had been hit as heavily by a cyber attack as was Ukraine?

    AND just where is that "famous Trump 90 day cyber plan to protect the US"

    WHERE everything else is you promise.....totally forgotten .....it was really just a moment comment made to impress your voting base of how "busy and how much as been achieved under your leadership".

    BUT just like a rocking horse....motion does not translate into progress....

    There is a totally unusual video floating on the net of the following that shows you just how disconnected Trump is from the job of being President and how he uses the position to simply "impress people"....http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-u...ent-with-trump

    RTE News in the Oval Office
    RTE News Washington Correspondent Caitriona Perry in the Oval Office as President Donald Trump speaks with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar

    Trump then calls her over to his desk to listen to the call with Varadkar as if she is WH Staff.....

    Tillerson and Mattis Cleaning Up Kushner’s Middle East Mess

    Are the adults in the room being thwarted?


    By Mark Perry • June 27, 2017
    http://www.theamericanconservative.c...dle-east-mess/


    On March 25, 2011, a Qatar Air Force Mirage 2000-5, took off from Souda Air Base, in Crete, to help enforce a no-fly zone protecting rebels being attacked by Libyan strongman Muammar Qaddafi. Qatar was the first Persian Gulf nation to help the U.S. in the conflict.
    Qatari operations were more than symbolic. The Qatari military trained rebel units, shipped them weapons, accompanied their fighting units into battle, served as a link between rebel commanders and NATO, tutored their military commanders, integrated disparate rebel units into a unified force and led them in the final assault on Qaddafi’s compound in Tripoli.“We never had to hold their hand,” a retired senior U.S. military officer says. “They knew what they were doing.” Put simply, while the U.S. was leading from behind in Libya, the Qataris were walking point.
    But while Tillerson’s answer was meant to soothe concerns over the crisis, behind the scenes he and Mattis were scrambling to undo the damage caused by Saudi action. The two huddled in Sydney and decided that Tillerson would take the lead in trying to resolve the falling out. Which is why, three days after the Sydney press conference, Tillerson called on Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt to ease their anti-Qatar blockade and announced that the U.S. supported a Kuwaiti-led mediation effort. The problem for Tillerson was that his statement was contradicted by Donald Trump who, during a Rose Garden appearance on the same day, castigated Qatar, saying the emirate “has historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”
    A close associate of the secretary of state says that Tillerson was not only “blind-sided by the Trump statement,” but “absolutely enraged that the White House and State Department weren’t on the same page.” Tillerson’s aides, I was told, were convinced that the true author of Trump’s statement was U.A.E. ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba, a close friend of Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner. “Rex put two-and-two together,” his close associate says, “and concluded that this absolutely vacuous kid was running a second foreign policy out of the White House family quarters. Otaiba weighed in with Jared and Jared weighed in with Trump. What a mess.” The Trump statement was nearly the last straw for Tillerson, this close associate explains: “Rex is just exhausted. He can’t get any of his appointments approved and is running around the world cleaning up after a president whose primary foreign policy adviser is a 36-year-old amateur.”

    Worse yet, at least from Tillerson’s point of view, a White House official explained the difference between the two statements by telling the press to ignore the secretary of state. “Tillerson may initially have had a view,” a White House official told the Washington Post, “then the president has his view, and obviously the president’s view prevails.”

    AND with the entire world reading Trump tweets as he pounds them out...notice the sheer silence from the WH on this confirmed hacking report.....


    ABC News‏
    @ABC

    NEW: Federal authorities investigating breach into computer systems of at least one U.S. nuclear power plant.
    http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/us-nu...ry?id=48314345

    BUT WAIT...Trump called also ABC FAKE News so maybe we should ignore this report....

    NOW this is interesting because if Petya made into the business side then LSADump was started which means all passwords and domain controller information was sent back to the hacking site from which Petya came...namely Russia....

    AND that Trump 90 day cyber protection plan is exactly what again......crickets.......are all I hear lately from Trump's fast tweeting fingers...

    This major malware attack was a massive cyber attack on Ukraine and really no one else....interesting is just how far it bled into other areas....and countries....

    SO after the previous massive cyber attack with Wannacry this nuclear plant did not do the MS MARCH 2017 patching which would have prevented this from happening.......

    The Qatar-Saudi clash, whilst a US base is in Doha, and both formal US allies, is a fascinating case of US imperial power just evaporating.

    While Trump tweets and his 36 year old son-in -law claims to be this magical deal fixer.....ROME literally is burning down around their ears and they do not notice it...or if they do and do nothing then something is wrong some where...

    Can anyone in Trump's Cabinet actually tell the truth or do they even know how to spell "truth"......

    EPA chief met with Dow CEO before deciding on pesticide ban

    https://apnews.com/2350d7be5e24469ab...&utm_medium=AP

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration’s top environmental official met privately with the chief executive of Dow Chemical shortly before reversing his agency’s push to ban a widely used pesticide after health studies showed it can harm children’s brains, according to records obtained by The Associated Press.
    Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt’s schedule shows he met with Dow CEO Andrew Liveris on March 9 for about a half hour at a Houston hotel. Both men were featured speakers at an energy industry conference.
    Twenty days later Pruitt announced his decision to deny a petition to ban Dow’s chlorpyrifos pesticide from being sprayed on food, despite a review by his agency’s scientists that concluded ingesting even minuscule amounts of the chemical can interfere with the brain development of fetuses and infants.
    EPA spokeswoman Liz Bowman said Tuesday that Pruitt was “briefly introduced” to Liveris at the conference.
    “They did not discuss chlorpyrifos,” Bowman said. “During the same trip he also met with the Canadian minister of natural resources, and CEOs and executives from other companies attending the trade show.”
    EPA released a copy of Pruitt’s March meeting schedule earlier this month following several Freedom of Information Act requests. Though his schedule for the intervening months has not yet been released, Bowman said Pruitt has had no other meetings with the Dow CEO. There was a larger group meeting that Pruitt attended which also included two other Dow executives, but she said that didn’t involve chlorpyrifos.
    BUT WAIT...let the former DoJ AG meet Clinton at an airport and the entire GOP demands an immediate investigation.....

    So EPA Chief meets privately with DOW CEO one on one and then a Dow Chemical product is not banned while it is banned in Europe....BUT now there is no GOP demand for an immediate investigation.....

    HOW strange is that?????

    Russia Investigation Suspect Paul Manafort Just Followed Michael Flynn and Registered as a Foreign Agent.
    What Does That Mean?

    http://www.newsweek.com/russia-inves...-agents-629609

    Manafort has been allowed to register retroactively as did Flynn...which is a Federal law set up in the 40s due to the WW2 Nazi spies who landed in the US....

    MEANS both have flipped and are working with FBI....in exchange for becoming "legal"....

    Exclusive: FBI agents visit Kaspersky Lab employees at home, to ask about Russia.

    Kaspersky spox tells me they've "not been officially approached or notified" about an investigation. CEO has offered to testify as needed.

    The FBI is in the midst of a counterintel investigation into the nature of Kaspersky's relationship to the Kremlin.

    Trump WH is now using a FAKE video that has been "cut and changed" as "evidence" against CNN.....

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/cnn-on-...-van-jones-lol

    A CNN spokesperson shared a three-letter verbal statement on the latest right-wing sting video from James O'Keefe's Project Veritas: "LOL." The new video, the second in a series titled "American Pravda," shows CNN liberal commentator Van Jones telling an unidentified man with a hidden camera, “The Russia thing is just a big nothing burger.” The video appears to speed up just before Jones’ statement and cuts off immediately after, providing next-to-zero context for the quote, which Project Veritas suggests proves that CNN is intentionally pushing a false narrative about the Trump campaign's connection to Russia. In reference to the first video in the series, White House press aide Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Tuesday, “There’s a video circulating now, whether it’s accurate or not, I don’t know, but I would encourage everyone in this room and frankly everybody across the country to take a look at it.”
    James O'Keefe's Project Veritas is noted to be behind a number of alleged alt right ie white nationalist videos as "hits" against anyone seen as liberals, progressive and Dems in general........

    James O'keefe was behind a similar sting on Planned Parenthood and on the signing up of voters.....

    This is the WH attempt to use FAKE news to drive an image that all MSM reporting is FAKE.....

    In reference to the first video in the series, White House press aide Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Tuesday, “There’s a video circulating now, whether it’s accurate or not, I don’t know, but I would encourage everyone in this room and frankly everybody across the country to take a look at it.”
