John Legend Takes another Jab at Donald Trump over Obamacare Repeal

On the health care front, 65 percent of registered voters said they preferred to keep and improve the Affordable Care Act, rather than to repeal and replace it as Republicans have proposed.

A look, by the numbers, of the first six months of President Donald Trump’s administration as of July 20 – his six-month anniversary.

Bills signed into law: 42, none of them major major pieces of legislation.

He added: “People are hurting”. Perhaps they will be able to move quickly on other priorities – a tax bill being the most appealing now, although not necessarily a slam dunk – and wash away the bitter taste of the health-care debate.

Mexico ain’t paying, and when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was asked about whether the wall would be built, his response was: “Uh, no”.

Politico is out with a great breakdown of how Republicans in the House, Senate and White House are trying to get the wheels moving again after spinning them on healthcare for six months.

Withdrawals from worldwide agreements: Two, the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership and the 2015 Paris climate change accord aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years. Now that that effort has collapsed, there’s nothing obvious for Republicans to rally around.

There’s also a general sense of bewilderment as to why Trump gave the interview.

Trump is moving to end an Obama-era Central Intelligence Agency program to arm and train Syrian rebels against the Bashar al-Assad regime, The Washington Post reports. “Believe me, I’m sitting in that office, I have pen in hand”, said the real estate mogul-turned-president.

McConnell and fellow Senate GOP leaders reportedly will discuss plans to craft a third bill during their Tuesday policy luncheon.

‘He wants to remain a senator, doesn’t he?’ They sit back and laugh.

Three weeks after winning via the Electoral College, but losing the popular vote, Trump claimed: “I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally”. “If you’re a fair-minded citizen, you ought to be concerned about the fact that we were repeatedly misled about what this meeting concerned”. After Trump’s election, a small group of pro-Trump intellectuals, from both left and right, banded together to launch a journal, American Affairs, that promised “the discussion of new policies that are outside of the conventional dogmas”.

“We’ll see what happens but I am disappointed because for so many years, I’ve been hearing repeal and replace”.

Today, if you are one of the unlucky who doesn’t think President Donald Trump should be impeached, drawn and quartered for all his evil ways, you are immediately shown the errors of your ways. Mike Lee and Jerry Moran, who blocked the second attempt to pass the bill, and Sens.

Mark Leibovich writes that many Republican congress members live in “fear of mean tweets”.

Every time, I read the paper or see an ad on television. they are constantly badgering the president.

All US Presidents face crises that seem to sweep the White House from its moorings. “No one”, a White House official said, speaking confidentially to avoid drawing the President’s ire.

The comments are a stunning rebuke from a president who craves loyalty, demanding it from those who work for him. Immigration enforcement must come first, said a White House official.

Still, Trump’s UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said in April there is “no way” peace will come to the region with Assad in power. If you don’t, then nothing so far – not the news that President Trump asked investigators to lay off their investigation of Michael Flynn’s Russian Federation ties, not the firing of FBI director James Comey, not the president’s confirmation that he did so because of the “Russia thing” – has changed your mind. President Trump is trying so hard to get things done for the American people and some Republicans and Democrats are stopping him from doing what needs to be done.

Saturday night, Pence would intone with one of his “let me be clear” intros that is often followed by fallacy: “We’re on the verge of a historic accomplishment here in our nation’s capital”.
