Reactions to Trump's first presidential pardon Joe Arpaio - Business Insider
"Toothless" Republicans when it comes to defending the Constitution and Bill of Rights (with the exception of their radical reading of the 2nd Amendment) which is how they will act in the face of presidential actions that are unconstitutional with regard to the pardon power and separation of powers between the branches of government.

Senator Who Lost Both Legs In Iraq Blasts Trump's Military Transgender Ban | HuffPost
What does the Draft Dodger have to say to Senator Duckworth to her face?
Trump stands for killing in all it's horrible forms. Listen to his talk about Afghanistan and number of times he speaks of killing. Just as he wants to kill people not just physically but emotionally, spiritually, and morally because he does not see American ideals as anything other than money and power. Why else would he have his Secretary of State talk about a foreign policy devoid of human rights but only about economic gain? Why else would he have his EPA administrator Pruitt pull regulations concerning the air and water pollution? Why have his Secretary of Education DeVoss pull back regulations concerning student debt collection agencies? What is the purpose of Trump's administration? To wreck our American government so that it cannot serve the average people of America is the ultimate goal. On the flip side it will serve the purposes of corporations and the 0.1%. He doesn't believe in the founding documents of this nation. He only believes in what money can buy to quench his insatiable, raging emptiness.

Republicans Have A New Plot To Gut Medicaid And They Don’t Need Congress – Talking Points Memo
Away from the public eye this is what is happening to Medicaid in states controlled by Republicans. This is their goal is to reduce the safety net for people who are not in the 1%. Millions of people will lose Medicaid in Republican controlled states because it is their goal of cutting Medicaid dollars will result in tens of thousands of needless deaths per year and will drastically increase the costs to Medicare once a younger and sicker population reaches retirement age. Then Republicans will point to dramatically increased costs to Medicare which they will say is now "unaffordable". Remember why.

Trump still pushing for GOP health care bill, as Senate leaders embrace hearings | Jamie Dupree - PBP
Portman has made clear to reporters in recent days that while last week’s defeat of the GOP ‘skinny’ bill was a setback, he’s not ready to give up on the GOP figuring out how to get to 50 votes in the Senate.

There's a Pernicious Economic Theory Creeping into the Heart of the Democratic Party | Alternet
This is the key: "It’s not a perfect history. But it’s no accident that the greatest period of shared prosperity in our nation’s modern history coincided with its highest percentage of unionized workers. Or that, conversely, inequality grew as union membership fell...."
No Democratic voice has spoken about the vote by workers in the NIssan auto plant. Only Bernie, who is a independent, has spoken and it was only published in a British newspaper. Where is Pelosi, Schumer, Perez, who are supported by the union movement, to give outrage at the behavior of Nissan before the unionization vote because companies will do anything to halt unionization of their workers.
If the Democratic leadership believes in having a strong middle class then they should be getting behind the union movement so that our corporate prosperity can be shared in a fair and equitable way with all Americans. Now is the time for people to hold the Democratic party responsible for promoting unionization of American workers and not fall into the trap of the "dog eat dog" ideology of competing that Republicans and corporations espouse to suppress their voters and workers.

Secret Service vacates Trump Tower command post in lease dispute with president’s company - The Washington Post
What a deal for Trump...the rental cost for Secret Service was 300k/month. Now add in the military cost 130k/month which means that Trump was pocketing almost 5,000,000 USD/year for his security. Also, he had jacked up the rent for the government. What a guy who is out to ripoff the US taxpayer for his personal benefit.

Poll Shows ‘Troubling Trail Of New Lows’ For Trump – Talking Points Memo
Through a "winning" lottery ticket of statistical chance he won the US presidency. Trump is not conservative but will be able to enact a radical fundamentalist agenda of a political party that should not be labeled as conservative by any measure. Numerous others have begun to realize that the Republican party is not in the mold of Eisenhower, Dirksen, or Lincoln.
The neo conservative of Fox News and Steven King is not conservative. If the traditional conservative stands for stability and civil order in society, especially in politics than the way Republicans have acted in the House and Senate during their failed attempt to pass their version of national health care is a object lesson in showing the public that those who represent the current Republican party are not in the least conservative.
If they are conservative then stability and adherence to the process of how to pass legislation should be paramount to keeping our political process functioning correctly. However the chaos of "winning" for their president meant that the way to pass legislation undermines tradition. To bypass the traditional way of passing a bill into law is to introduce chaos into our political process which should be abhorrent the tradition bound conservative.
But the neo conservative is not traditional but sees that "winning" by any means is justified. Whether the chaos that is left is by definition of what conservatism is does not matter in the least. The Republican party of now may state that they have a belief in social order but their actions belie their words.

A Saboteur’s Handbook: How Trump Could Still Wreck Obamacare – Talking Points Memo
The braggart never had to worry about healthcare in his life. He even cut off healthcare to a sick baby of his nephew as leverage during a dispute over the will of their father, Fred Trump. This is the clearest indicator that he will do the same to millions of Americans and damage the American healthcare system.
