True North News, in #Wisconsin, traces to a #conservative foundation based in California. Don’t be fooled by any of these underhanded attempts to feed conservative lies and propaganda to unwitting citizens.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

It’s Miller and Vought who are running things anyway. The “surrogate” presidents

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: “If we don’t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. That’s painful and permanent.”

Classic nerd retort from Mikey Johnson: “I know you are but what am I?”

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it.

But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Just watched Ms Young’s interview on PBS News Hour (right after Rep Senator Mike Rounds from S Dakota). He toed the “company line” by spewing the same line of crap. She made complete sense and left me with a feeling of vindication after screaming at the tv while listening to Rounds’ BS.

I can’t believe how unaware these morons have to be to look at that room full of the best, brightest and most powerful military leaders in the world and say FAFO, expecting applause.

If Dems would support this bill maybe voters would realize who’s serious about fixing the government.
