Watching local cable news, and their take on Trump’s rally was he hit “familiar themes” and said he might work with Democrats on prescription drug prices.

No mention of the massive lies he told about killing babies or his sanctuary city plan.

This isn’t responsible coverage.
When Trump tells blatant lies or admits potentially illegal conspiracies, it doesn’t even get mentioned on local news.

That’s a failure.
The news just spent a minute covering — their words — “nerd prom,” and noting how the White House was upset last year over Michelle Wolf.

Just an absolute embarrassment.

Here’s what you need to know when someone claims the GOP health care bill — the AHCA — covered people with pre-existing conditions:

(Thread)
The AHCA allowed insurers to take into account “health status” when setting premiums. That means they could charge more for pre-existing conditions.

So while insurers couldn’t *deny* sick people, they absolutely could charge them more — an unaffordable amount more.
Under the bill, states that wanted to allow insurers to charge those people more would have to set up a “high-risk pool,” where sick people could get coverage.

The problem is those high-risk pools are notoriously underfunded, so people with pre-existing conditions pay more.

I don't want to turn this horrible shooting into a finger-pointing game, but I was struck by similarities between what the New Zealand shooter wrote and some of the things current Members of Congress say about immigration.

So, a thread:
Here's the shooter talking about the "invasion" of immigration.
And here's Louioe Gohmert talking about how immigration is an "invasion" at levels unseen since D-Day.

We just lost another good Congressman: Walter Jones.

Years ago, I wondered who the Congressman was who crossed party lines the most. By a long shot, it was Jones. He voted for every Dem motion that benefitted veterans, and he was happy to pay the price.

rollcall.com/news/jones_wil…
We had a long chat about his career one night, and at some point, he started talking about why he cared about veterans.

Through tears, Jones told me he came to Congress and discovered that his grandfather was gassed in the Argonne Forest in WWI and eventually killed himself.
Walter Jones famously changed his mind about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and he was very open for years that his biggest regret in life was voting to authorize those wars.

Republicans wouldn’t let him have an Armed Services subcommittee chairmanship because he spoke out.

Trump begins: "It was a big day yesterday, incredible day. And last night the Republican Party defied history to expand our Senate majority while significantly beating expectations in the House." They did not significantly beat expectations in the House.
Trump says they did well in the "midtown" election, then says, "and midterm."
Trump: "The candidates that I supported" had "tremendous success." He is pointing to the candidates he had rallies for. Left unsaid: the vulnerable House Republicans did not want him to have rallies for them.

I forewarn anyone reading this article:

There are some of the most graphic images of atrocities committed by Islam against children inside (there is a warning message before images)
They include Nigerians burnt alive, their bodies disembowled, beheaded... But it has to be shown.
Inside the article is a journey discovering the hypocrisy of #BigTech & Mainstream Media.
Example:
Fulani Herdsmen of Nigeria are a radical Islamic extremist group responsible for the murder of tens of thousands of Christians.
Google/Wiki show HAPPY pics- they are MURDERERS.

Trump promises that "we will raise a drug-free generation of American children." He says the "scourge of drug addiction in America will stop. It will stop."
Trump on fentanyl: "I told China: DON'T SEND IT. And I told Mexico: DON'T SEND IT."
"We're wasting our time" if we don't get tough with drug dealers, Trump says, "and that toughness includes the death penalty."

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
