While everyone's at the Mueller indictments #DonaldTrump is still forcing the Affordable Care Act to fail. #TrumpNation Originally shared by **** The Trump administration’s proposal defines the term “typical employer plan” to include virtually any employer-provide health plan so long as that plan has at least 5,000 enrollees. A state can effectively seek out an employer who offers an unusually stingy benefits package, and so long as that employer’s health plan covers at least 5,000 people, it can use that plan as its statewide benchmark. Obamacare plans in that state, in other words, would only have to be as generous as the least generous employer-provided plan that a state can find. #healthcare #aca #obamacare #singlepayer #MedicareForAll https://thinkprogress.org/trump-health-insurance-terrible-again-ee9b93261a43/?utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_content=59f7cb1104d3015272f62e7a&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter

I've been riding bikes for a few years now and have, roughly, 150,000 two-wheeled miles under my belt. That's while living in a state that's impossible to ride a few months a year and the last couple of years where I didn't ride too much for various reasons. That being said, I always take it easy in the spring after a winter of caging it around town, both to get my skills and muscle memory working and to let motorists become used to bikes being on the road again. Maybe one day I'll start riding a Slingshot, or something similar, but for the time being I'm comfortable on two wheels. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/wisniewski/ct-met-older-motorcyclists-getting-around-20171018-story.html

How do you hack a war? Originally shared by Chris Kim A Diplomatic spats in the Middle East are hardly rare. But the conflict that started this summer between Qatar and some of its Arab neighbors may be unique. It’s the first major geopolitical crisis to have been sparked by a computer hack, and was nearly the first “fake news” war to transform into a physical conflict. And far as anyone can tell, the fake news had a target audience of approximately one: US president Donald Trump. In interviews and documentation provided to Quartz, the Qatari government has outlined its version of the events that led to the crisis in detail for the first time. https://qz.com/1107023/the-inside-story-of-the-hack-that-nearly-started-another-middle-east-war/

"Wilenchik said he was not surprised that the judge had refused to undo her own order.

I was in a gun shop earlier today while waiting for my pizza to be made at the restaurant next door when the "sales" associate began telling me about silencers and why I needed one. [protip: I don't need one. No one really needs one, as they're a want more than a need ] He complained that, if you wanted one, you had to jump through legal hurdles at roughly $1300 in fees and taxes. After he said "taxes" he pointed at a poster on the wall: Without Representation , a call-back to the fundamental reason the USA exists today: no taxation without representation . He was being nice to me so I didn't bring up the store's logical fallacy of not being represented in government. In fact, it's a very red area and they're very represented in state and federal government.

Originally shared by **** “Sarcastically he said: ‘But you know he must have known what he signed up for,’” Rep. Frederica Wilson recounted. “How could you say that to a grieving widow? I couldn’t believe... and he said it more than once. I said this man has no feelings for anyone. This is a young woman with child who is grieved to her soul.” “We don’t have many heroes in our young men in Miami-Dade County, but he was a hero for us,” the congresswoman said. When asked what her immediate reaction was, she said: “I asked them to give me the phone, because I wanted to speak with him. And I was going to curse him out. That was my reaction...

We've all been laughing at, chiding, mocking or cheering #DonaldTrump over the last two years but few of us have spent any real time learning about Mike Pence, the evangelical christian who would take over the Executive reins if Trump were ever removed from office.  _“He just inhabits a different reality. It’sla very difficult for him to lay aside the social agenda. He’s a zealot.”_ Below is a very good - yet, very long - read.

Spent the past few days packing and moving. Not my choice. You see, my roommate of 8 years, or so, met a guy in a bar last November and they started dating. Over the course of the eleven months they've now known each other she's broken up with him multiple times and even though at the two month mark they already started fantasizing about moving in together, I never thought it would get this far. For a variety of reasons. Nevertheless, here we are. The two of them bought a house out in the sticks. She was very upfront with him from the beginning: no matter where she goes, Jason (me) is coming. And so, over the months they had good days and bad, as any couple will do. But, she broke up with him, only returning when he begged and pleaded. The final time, just this past July he said he'd change forever and, surprising me, he has done so, thus far. Regardless, they were only together this last time for a month before they began house shopping. Again, I never thought it would ge

Do you believe #DonaldTrump is mentally deficient in some way or another?

Schmidt and Wallace are a fascinating pair to deliver this point. They were, in many ways, responsible for trying to give the country a Vice President Sarah Palin. (The HBO movie Game Change is well worth a watch, with Woody Harrelson playing Schmidt and Sarah Paulson as Wallace.) You might argue that this makes them disreputable sources to talk about the capacity to fulfill the duties of the Oval Office. But, quite to the contrary: both of them have spent much of the past nine years in public contrition over what they have since admitted, and reiterated again and again, was an enormous mistake.

I was going to go with microwave signal. Many many moons ago my unit went to the field and some genius decided to take the microwave emitter and place it right behind the entry gate/guard station shooting "over" the guard station. After about an hour on guard duty one night I began complaining of severe headaches and nausea. Naturally my sergeant thought I was making it up and denied me sick call (seeing a doctor). I don't recall any sounds, per se, but there was a hum.

In #TrumpNation Puerto Rico doesn't count for anything other than a photo op. When people refer to hurricane Irma as being "Trump's Katrina" remember, this is a disaster of his own making. There is nothing stopping the president from helping these people other than spitefulness and pettiness. https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2017/10/10/1705685/-FEMA-Not-our-job-to-deliver-water-and-food-to-Puerto-Ricans-Think-I-am-making-this-up-Wrong?detail=facebook&_utm_source=1-2-2

Just found out my neighbor was in Las Vegas during the shooting. He says he and his wife were a block away when all the screaming and running started. Of particular note, he witnessed a North Las Vegas officer duck behind a barrier while people were running frantic.

Seems like a plan. Now, where to invade ... ? Originally shared by David Amerland What Do You Think? I'm not really thinking of taking over a country just yet but the combination of beaches, ice-cream, statues of myself everywhere and babes ... well. I mean, it makes you think, right? ;) https://warontherocks.com/2015/05/how-to-take-over-a-small-country-in-10-easy-steps/

Did you know, on January 20th, 2017, Puerto Rico and it's citizens stopped being an American territory and natural born citizens of this nation? Apparently it's the one executive order #DonaldTrump hasn't actually signed, but is operating under regardless. In #TrumpNation if you're not a state the President took in the 2016 election then you don't matter. Originally shared by NBC News President Donald Trump slammed Puerto Rico on Thursday, saying its power grid and infrastructure were a "disaster" before two hurricanes hit last month and he threatened to pull federal emergency management workers from the storm-ravaged island. His comments drew furious responses from Democrats who charged he is treating Americans there like "second-class citizens." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-attacks-puerto-rico-threatens-pull-emergency-responders-n810036

#DonaldTrump may very well be the United States of America's last president, but not for the reasons you believe. Of course, I could just be using hyperbole to make a point about the time bomb were sitting on. Who can really tell? The researchers, The New York Times reported, have determined that the supervolcano has the ability to spew more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of rock and ash — 2,500 times more material than erupted from Mount St. Helens in 1980 — an event that could blanket most of the United States in ash and possibly plunge the Earth into a volcanic winter. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2017/10/12/yellowstone-supervolcano-may-blow-sooner-than-thought-could-wipe-out-life-planet/757337001/

Facebook drops the ball once more: You have two ends of people using heightened security, because neither end wants their identity being revealed. And they’re having their real names connected on Facebook. https://gizmodo.com/how-facebook-outs-sex-workers-1818861596

This little Great Dane was so friendly she almost knocked me down just to sit on me. Luckily this lab, who'd already tried to play with every passing dog, came over to give her a good time. #dogpark

In #TrumpNation the president sits alone. The problem is, when you run off all the competent people the only others willing to work with you are the incompetent. Maybe this is how #DonaldTrump bankrupted multiple companies. Originally shared by **** "We're in shit up to our eyeballs with this guy." Robert Reich, on FB: This morning I phoned my old friend, a Republican former member of Congress. Me: So what’s up? Is Corker alone, or are others also ready to call it quits with Trump? He: All I know is they’re simmering over there. Me: Flake and McCain have come pretty close. He: Yeah. Others are thinking about doing what Bob did. Sounding the alarm. They think Trump’s nuts. Unfit. Dangerous. Me: Well, they already knew that, didn’t they? He: But now it’s personal. It started with the Sessions stuff. Jeff was as loyal as they come. Trump’s crapping on him was like kicking your puppy. And then, you know, him beating up on Mitch for the Obamacare fiasco. And going after Flake

Should we all start mailing letters to the White House addressed to the #ToddlerinChief instead of #DonaldTrump? In #TrumpNation my dog is smarter than your president. Originally shared by The Atlantic The Toddler in Chief https://trib.al/7zGgXee https://trib.al/7zGgXee

_“At first it’s cool, and then you realize, I’m filling some drugs that are for some pretty serious health problems as well. And these are the people that are running the country,” Kim said, listing treatments for conditions like diabetes and Alzheimer’s. “It makes you kind of sit back and say, ‘Wow, they’re making the highest laws of the land and they might not even remember what happened yesterday.'”_ Interesting little piece of history in this article, but take note of the quote above. https://www.statnews.com/2017/10/11/pharmacist-congress-drug-delivery/

_But the rate of increase changed at about the time that online dating become popular. “It is intriguing that shortly after the introduction of the first dating websites in 1995, like Match.com, the percentage of new marriages created by interracial couples increased rapidly,” say the researchers. The increase became steeper in the 2000s, when online dating became even more popular.  Then, in 2014, the proportion of interracial marriages jumped again. “It is interesting that this increase occurs shortly after the creation of Tinder, considered the most popular online dating app,” they say._ Well, that should fire up the #altright's morons base pretty good. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.technologyreview.com/s/609091/first-evidence-that-online-dating-is-changing-the-nature-of-society/amp/

Perhaps General Kelly should subtly push a copy of the Constitution over onto #DonaldTrump's desk with the part about a free press highlighted. Originally shared by **** Should news networks be allowed to report stories that displease the president? Earlier this year, the White House threatened to punish CNN for unfavorable coverage by ordering the Justice Department to deny the network’s parent company, Time Warner, its proposed merger with AT&T. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/10/trump-threatens-to-revoke-nbcs-license-to-broadcast-news.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nymag%2Fintelligencer+%28Daily+Intelligencer+-+New+York+Magazine%29&mid=googleplus_nymag
