Wall Street has a “financial doping” problem - Salon.com

This is the reason that Wall Street banksters like Dimon and Blankfein should have gone to jail.  Phony baloney fake-money schemes that caused the Great Recession are again in play.  But Republicans in charge will do nothing to stop the madness of having the US taxpayer foot the coming bill for the same fake money schemes from ten years ago.

Trump Admin Proposes Weakening Essential Health Benefits Rule In 2019 – Talking Points Memo

You have the freedom to have less healthcare coverage.  In the new set of rules will let health insurance companies limit the number of visits you can have if you have a chronic illness.  That is the kind of freedom you will have because it means that health insurance companies can save a few dollars versus you being able to treat your long term illness.

Clinton campaign, DNC helped fund Trump dossier research, report says - CNNPolitics

Josh Marshall-

As I explained last night, the Democratic party’s top election lawyer, Marc Elias, deserves some kind of vast national, public thank you since his decision to fund the Fusion GPS/Steele research likely played a key role in blocking the ‘grand bargain’ and policy payoffs to Russia which President Trump was hoping to make in January and February of this year.

Can A Pro-Choice, Pro-Immigrant, Climate Change Believer Beat Roy Moore In Alabama? – Talking Points Memo

"...Jon Ossoff finished his campaign in a hotly contested House race in Georgia, carefully emphasizing centrism and cutting government waste...."   This is how NOT to motivate the progressive base, especially in a low voter turn out off presidential year race. 



BTW- Why not have a aspect of campaigning advertising which pokes fun at the opponent which emphasizes social issues.  I imagine a campaign spot on the fact that the conservative candidate is the Gladys Kravitz, Bewitched TV show, who is perpetually peeking into the neighbor's house in order to be outraged at the neighbor's private behavior.

Another historical example is the old radio series Superman.  In a story by Stetson Kennedy called "Clan of the Fiery Cross" Superman takes on a organization loosely based on the KKK.  It satirized the KKK's rituals before a national audience.

Finally, humor could be a much more effective means to tell voters that conservatives are humorless ideologues that cannot govern because their ideas are based on being selfish (i.e. "greed is good").  The scenes with Governor Lepetomane are priceless in showing the corruption of government for greed.

Trump Executive Order Would Give People An Out From ObamaCare; Dems Want To 'Save' ObamaCare By Closing All The Exits | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD

Typical conservative talking points about how to wreck a law that is helping millions of people.  The problem is that conservatives want to have the same problems that the people had before Obamacare.  Conservatives are going to give the people the freedom to die because the people do not have access to healthcare.



Conservatives have a hatred of any law that helps the people of America.  The long term goal is to remove Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.  By having a sicker population then as we grow older the cost for healthcare will increase dramatically.  If the spending is a capped block grant and/or capped spending amount per person then most people who are poor and middle class will have to chose between healthcare or homelessness; or healthcare or eating; or healthcare or heating/ac. 



This is the kind of future that conservatives want for all the people of America- A military colossus protecting a sick and dying population surviving in a polluted land.
