Many Trump Enablers In Congress Are Going To Get What's Coming To Them
It became clear soon after Trump opened his trap from inside the White House, that the 2018 midterms were going to be all about him-- not real issues per se, but Trump and his outlandish lies, outlandish behavior and disdain for American norms at every level. Yesterday, trying to deflect the blame for the coming Republican catastrophe from himself, he tweeted that GOP "momentum," is being harmed by the bomber.

Will Their Opposition To Healthcare Kill The GOP November 6th?
One of the funniest moments in the election debate this cycle-- at least for me-- came when Arizona congresswoman, Martha McSally, a garden variety Trump rubber-stamp who had voted to repeal protections for pre-existing conditions several times, was cornered by a reporter asking her to square her consistent record against healthcare with her promise now-- as she runs for U.S. Senate-- to protect people with pre-existing conditions from the greed of insurance companies. After lying for a few minutes to a reporter who kept pointing out her votes, she finally said something to the ef... more »
"The Global Financial System Is Unraveling, And No, the U.S. Is Not immune"
*"The Global Financial System Is Unraveling,* * And No, the U.S. Is Not immune"* by Charles Hugh Smith September 4, 2018 (It's a *lot* worse now on October 26,2018 - CP) "Take a look at the Shanghai Stock Market (China) and tell me what you see: A complete meltdown, right?
