Dicks

This administration is just full of dicks - John Bolton just gave an “Axis of Evil” speech about Latin America: The US will now go after a so-called “Troika of Tyranny”: Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.


Showing the world they don't give a damn about human rights. - Netanyahu Asked Trump to Stick With Saudi Crown Prince After Khashoggi Murder Citing U.S. officials, Washington Post reports Netanyahu described Mohammed bin Salman as a 'strategic ally' in the Middle East -

USAToday tries but fails. - Seema Verma of the Trump administration says about Medicare-For-All

It’s a multi-trillion drain on the American economy that will bankrupt future generations," she said in the statement.

The article disputes that at the very end with this.

Politifact found that Americans in the aggregate would pay more to the government to fund health care but less overall than they pay now. The fact-checking site also noted the study forecast that total health care spending would drop by about $2 trillion over 10 years.

That's it. No other comments.  Seema Verma says something that is complete BS and we get a couple of lines at the end of the article, sort-of calling it out. 

The proper way to handle Seema Verma's BS would have been to call her out in the headline. "Seema Verma lies about Medicare for all: Should she resign?"

NPR on Thursday, November1 - (I'm not linking to this because it was so crappy and i was in my car at the time and can't find it now.)

NPR had a 2 or 3 minute conversation about Trump's tweet - "If you want your stocks to go down, I strongly suggest voting Democrat" that was just horrible. The end result was a list of possibilities, most not even remotely possible, that could, maybe,.. make your stocks go down. Stupid shit like "they could eliminate the tax cut" or "future tax cuts", etc. Basically a list of bullshit R talking points having very little to do with reality. It sounded like Fox segment.

Anyway the right answer would have been.....

Trump Lies again: The Market does better with Ds in power.

Then include these two charts.
