The Trump impact on US policy

[OUTLAW 09]

US democracy is now formally under attack by the very US President that voters elected without questioning a single negative point WHICH was pointed out before the election......

US 1st Amendment is now being directly attacked by Trump simple as that....

White House warns reporters not to report on instructions about not reporting on press conference

THIS was buried deep inside the 142 pages of the Trump declared "healthcare bill with heart"...and REMEMBER when he stated this to a cheering 6000 of his voters he touched his heart with both hands....

The CEO Sweetener is in the Senate bill! Can you believe this? It allows insurance companies to deduct executive salaries >$500k!

SO much for Trump's constant statement he wants good paying jobs for Americans.....seems he favors CEOs.....REMEMBER he also stated he wanted to "poor people leading his government".....

Elderly people in wheelchairs outside McConnell office are being forcibly removed/arrested for protesting Republicans

Eric got up at 6am to board a train from Philly, watched dozens of his friends get arrested (many in wheelchairs or w/ respirators)

This is the part that repeals essential health benefits which include mental health, hospitalization, and maternity.

SO in fact has lied again to the American people....no wonder they do not want live coverage in the press briefings

The GOP bills raise deductibles, cuts coverage and slashes Medicaid. Trump promised repeatedly to voters he would do none of the above.

Medicaid is important to disabled people. We raise our voices in the "Peoples House" and got answered with handcuffs
In my experience, the vast majority of able-bodied Americans are seriously clueless about the financial needs of people with disabilities as well as mental health issues WHICH is also being cut out....

"Congressional investigators are probing whether any of this stolen private information made its way to the Trump campaign."

Actually they will find that it did make it's way to the two US big data companies sitting in UK...SCL and Cambridge Analytica

This is much more serious than previous information. This opens the door to the idea that Trump may have won with falsified votes.

It also raises the question whether the Trump campaign used data stolen by Russia, in which case Russia has leverage over Trump/associates.

Reddit data "may have been harvested ... to match up Reddit users w/ their voter registration records."
http://gizmodo.com/gop-data-firm-acc...modo_twitter#…

THIS is being tied to the two US big data companies based in UK SCL and Cambridge Analytica both previously owned by the Trump advisor Bannon now owned by a massive Trump supporter billionaire Mercer...

They also "harvested" unknown to Twitter and FB all of their US user data as well...

Trump told Fox News tonight that "there's been no obstruction; everyone agrees on that."

... except for that team of 120 federal investigators AND a federal prosecutor team of 14 top level prosecutors who also speak Russian....

NOTICE that Trump states "there's been no obstruction" and evidently knows since he was involved in over 4000 court cases over the years....THAT only a State or Federal investigation can make that statement and SC Mueller has not made that statement...

AND as of yet....NO ONE from the ongoing FBI and SC Mueller investigation has stated......."everyone knows that"......

[OUTLAW 09]

This is a huge story, potentially connecting the hacking of state voter rolls to data used by the Trump campaign.

Pay attention to this part. If true, this would mean that Russia still has leverage over people close to Trump (and possibly Trump himself).

First the House "blue ticketed the Senate Russian sanctions bill" meaning it was virtually buried for the time being...in a concession to Trump and Tillerson requests......

BUT suddenly and apparently overnight a "sudden change of heart"....Ryan might want to demonstrate strength against Russia as some say he is under investigation was well......

RFE/RL: U.S. House speaker wants to move quickly on Russian sanctions bill

EITHER than or he truly believes Trump is in bed with Russia and wants to seriously lift all sanctions by G20 meeting in July....

Trump FP towards EU and NATO now faces a much more confident EU towards Trump.....and the simple fact is the nationalistic populists movement have largely died because of Trump....now the EU is being led by a unified France/Germany

Republicans vowed to save individual health insurance markets. Their plan cuts off funds in 2 years.

Experts say the bill attempts to allay fears of insurance companies and states, at the risk of increasing problems with affordability and access to coverage

‘Meanness at the core:’ Obama jumps back into fray to criticize Trump, GOP on health care

Barack Obama had pledged to recede from the limelight, but in defending his White House legacy, setting up a high-stakes confrontation between a former and current president that is virtually unprecedented in US modern times.

The Unaffordable Care Act
The bill’s real aim is to cut taxes for the rich...enriching them to the tune of 1T USDs while cutting healthcare for the poor and lower middle class income earners....and gives virtually nothing to the vast middle class and lowers overall healthcare quality to ALL.....Regardless of what Trump says about winning the electoral college "he lost the general election vote by 3M votes" so in fact he does not have a "mandate" to govern for all from a minority position of power.....

He must if he is to be successful finally act as if he is not beholden to the far right and the rich.... he must speak for ALL Americans....

AGAIN I keep repeating over and over ...US FP is driven by two elements...internal events and external needs.....with this bill Trump is effectively diverting all conversation to this and not focusing any discussions on his lack of a overall FP on just about anything...WHICH probably his intention THEN no one can complain he has no FP....

AND this is not witness intimidation.....when this is stated by a Tump spokesperson about the former Director of the FBI who even Trump praised.....you know it is witness intimidation.....

One has to ask themselves why does a so called spokesperson say this about a former Director of the FBI...WHEN ALL 17 ICs have stated Russia was involved in hacking and meddling in the election???

REMEMBER Trump has formally via his tweet and press conference stated he would talk to SC Mueller under oath...BUT suddenly nothing about this is being now stated...WHY is that???

Trump brags about lying on Twitter to influence Comey’s sworn testimony
Trump admits he purposely misled the public about#“tapes.”
https://thinkprogress.org/trump-brag...y-30a98aa1bb39

In President Trump’s first interview in more than a month, he admitted that he falsely suggested his conversations with former FBI director James Comey were taped to influence Comey’s sworn testimony.
Trump acknowledged he didn’t actually make any tapes on Thursday. But speaking to Fox & Friends in an interview that aired Friday morning, Trump said the “tapes” tweet was just a ruse to keep Comey honest.

“When he found out that there may be tapes out there — whether it’s governmental tapes or anything else, and who knows — I think his story may have changed,” Trump said. “You’ll have to take a look at that because then he has to tell what actually took place at the events. And my story didn’t change — my story was always a straight story, my story always was the truth. But you’ll have to determine for yourself whether or not his story changed, but I did not tape.”

.@PressSec: "By talking about something like tapes made Comey in particular think to himself 'I better be honest, I better tell the truth.'"

In response to Trump’s comments, interviewer Ainsley Earhardt praised him, saying “it was a smart way to make sure [Comey] stayed honest during those hearings.”
“It wasn’t very stupid, I can tell you that,” Trump said. “He did admit that what I said was right. And if you look further back before he heard about [the ‘tapes’ tweet], I think maybe he wasn’t admitting that. So you’ll have to do a little investigative reporting to determine that, but I don’t think it’ll be that hard.”

Trump’s public admission that he was trying to influence sworn testimony before Congress could be considered witness intimidation or obstruction.

Trump’s suggestion that he force Comey to tell the truth also directly contradicts his previously statements. In a tweet posted following Comey’s testimony, Trump characterized the former FBI director as a liar.

In Trump’s last interview more than a month ago on NBC, he admitted to firing former FBI Director James Comey because of his annoyance with an active investigation into his campaign.
