China Warning

It's pretty pathetic when China thinks that they must temper the US.What have we become?

Supreme Court

Neil Gorsuch:stolen republican justice appointment.He's an avowed corporate lackey and unconcerned with working class rights.Now the supreme court is obviously right wing dominant.

The supreme Court is supposed to be apolitical,but it's definitely not.Justices are supposed to be unbiased,but they aren't.Something must  be done and soon,before the next appointment opening.

What can we do?We must get rid of Trump before the next appointment.Another right wing justice would be catastrophic.It's almost there now.Citizens United with political money has almost destroyed our democracy.We must have a neutral court to maintain our government.

Syrian Attack

The Syrian missile attack was not a real surprise.How much of it was contrived is hard to determine.Trump was at the point where he thought that something had to be done.Detecting Russian collusion is creeping up.His team is close to being charged and is running out of plausible distractions.The chemical attack may or may not have been part of the plan.If it was,it makes it worse.If not,it was perfect timing.Collaboration is apparent and close to being indefensible.Something had to be done.A bigger diversion was needed.

The limited airport attack was suggested by many,a safe means of response to the perhaps coincidental chemical attack.Why the middle East is so enamored with nerve agent,I don't know.It is certainly a quick response means of attack;it gets attention quickly.

I believe that Trump and Russia are still in collaboration and the US attack is part of it.I think that this is the bigger diversion to try to obfuscate the suspicion of collusion and redefine relations with Russia.I sincerely hope that it doesn't work.

Sec of State

It's obvious to me that Jared Kushner is the real Sec. Of State(with Ivanka an assistant).When Tillerson was appointed,something seemed amiss.He appeared to be a front.I think that his job pertained mostly to oil interests. I think that he is a front for Kushner.With Kushner's trip to Iraq,the appointment becomes more suspect.In time it may become more apparent.We'll see.

Healthcare Projection

It appears that the Trump team,in order to molify the electorate,may be ready to consider a public option of some kind for the healthcare bill.In order for Trump to come close to keeping his promises, he's going to have governmental help.

It would be interesting if they tried to in corporate a Medicare for all type plan,similar to Bernie Sanders or simply expand medicaid.Trump has no core beliefs so that he could adopt any plan that would appease the public.It could get interesting.

EPA

Trump wants to be the pollution king.He appears to want to eliminate the EPA using any means possible.He's removing all of Obama's beneficial carbon bills,orders,and regulations and introducing his own oppositional plans.He wants to pollute and deregulate.He wants to allow profit to supercede clean air and water.He wants to jeopardize our future at the expense of unregulated business and corporations,libertarian style.He needs careful monitoring.

Insight

Why do GOP,media fall for distraction?Why the absence of insight.Trump's group didn't want Healthcare Act.They went along with Ryan's bill gambling that there was an obscure chance that they could get the money for tax cuts.There was never a chance to get past reconciliation, which they could blame on Ryan,but if they accomplished that they would free the tax cut money and maybe some for infrastructure.

Repeal would essentially be accomplished with Ryan and GOP taking the blame.Replacement would then be a separate issue,not involving Ryan.Even government could be used for that and Ryan and GOP could also be blamed for that.

Now infrastructure will probably be the next issue because Democrats will cooperate.Insight will need revision at that point, depending on peripheral issues.
