    USA Today printed an Op Ed by Donald Trump filled with lies about the Democratic plan for "Medicare for All."
    They have bee soundly criticized by the Washington Post, Media Matters for America, The Toronto Star, journalism professor Dan Gillmor, Chip Stewart, professor of journalism at Texas Christian University, CNN , etc.

    Here's Chuck Schumer reaction:

    Jokes aside, the sad part here is that his base could greatly benefit from a Medicare for all system

    The reckoning is almost here. All blump and his fathers machinations are now known. If that family doesn't go to prison--the whole justice system is rotten. Self made man----hahahaha--another fairy tale by that addlepated human.

    Since the economy improved under Trump, liberal news outlets have said this was because of Obama. I'm not saying they're right or wrong, but Trump supporters now have the ammunition they need to deflect this right back on Obama. "Oh, so when the economy is good under Trump, that's because Obama; when the economy's bad under Trump, that's because of Trump?"

    You know that argument is coming.

    AND HE IS COOPERATING, just like Cohen, Manafort, Gates, Flynn, Papadopolis, Van Der Swan, and perhaps Maria Butina?

    Most of the heroin addicts in Indiana are white red and Republican. The county with the highest AIDS cases is in the southern part where Mike Pence lives. So, no wonder they don't read that much?

    Trump is blaming it on the Fed, but it could be the Bossa Nova. I'l bet Diane Feinstein is involved somehow.

    It’s because deep down they’re psychologically hit a wall in their ideology. On one hand they know they’re poor but they know their belief system says they’re to blame for their own poverty; so despite being offered a policy that could help them, to accept such help would be synonymous to saying or betraying their idealist views. To accept help is to hurt their ego.

    So what they do is find a small grain of truth to scapegoat all of their blame on big corporations taking their jobs or land. Because it is true big corporations are abusing their power, but the left and right interpret the emotional blame differently. It’s why 2011-2014 occupy wall st. Movement broke apart and failed; or one of the reasons.

    The White House is promising to "look into" Fox's decision to drop coverage of Trump's rallies.
    Sounds like they may apply some pressure.

    They give him his opinions though, not the other way around.

    Possible exception the idiot trade wars.

    Donald Trump and a world of disorder
    Nick Bryant, New York correspondent
    10 October 2018

    Donald Trump and a world of disorder

    excerpt:

    "The forced disappearance of the Interpol chief, Meng Hongwei, who it turns out is being held by the Chinese authorities.

    Mounting evidence underscoring the Kremlin's involvement in the chemical poisonings in Salisbury.

    The seemingly gruesome case of Jamal Khashoggi, the missing journalist who Turkish authorities suspect was killed and dismembered by a Saudi hit squad inside the kingdom's Istanbul consulate.

    All point to a world of disorder: of a slide towards unruliness; of a new era of strongman authoritarianism and a waning of international law.

    Traditionally the United States has viewed itself as the upholder of norms, an exemplar of moral leadership, the policeman of global bad behaviour - an idealised notion it has not always lived up to.

    But this week has driven home not just how much Donald Trump has been reluctant to perform that role. It also speaks of how his doctrine of patriotism is at risk of being interpreted by other nations as a doctrine of anything goes."


    "He has commended Rodrigo Duterte, the president of the Philippines, for an "unbelievable job on the drug problem," even though the crackdown has led to the killing of 12,000 suspected drug dealers and users, according to Human Rights Watch."

    Donald Trump Calls Into Fox & Friends to Ramble Incoherently
    Rafi Schwartz
    October 11, 2018 9:58am

    https://splinternews.com/donald-trump-calls-into-fox-friends-to-ramble-incoher-1829679322

    excerpts:

    "Whenever President Donald Trump calls into his favorite morning TV show, Fox & Friends, one of two things always happens: Either he offers his usual, low-grade, self-promoting bluster, or he goes completely and irrevocably off the rails in a string of unhinged, and unrelated mini-rants about whatever half-formed thoughts pop into his Frosted Mini-Wheat brain that morning. On Thursday, it was very much the latter."


    "Asked about his upcoming meeting with Kanye West and former NFL star Jim Brown, Trump bragged that he had “a lot of African American support” (it’s somewhere around 15 percent) particularly among “athletes and stars.” He added that when Kanye first publicly supported his administration, “my polls went up something like 25 percent.”"

    When asked about Jamal Khashoggi, Trump said he wants Saudi investments into US business to continue. That means he and Jared Kushner are expecting big cash infusions shortly.
