By Randolph Freelander Go To PostThe feeling I'm getting from Twitter is that Trump's response to the opioid crisis is Just Say No 2.0.Not entirely. If anything it plays right into the hands of pharmaceutical companies as it seems geared towards boosting the use of opioid alternative drugs, sometimes for life. but there's some "say no 2.0" too.
From NYtimes:
For pharma -- "...safe practices for opioid prescriptions, and a new federal initiative to develop nonaddictive painkillers. "
For 2.0 -- "He also said the government would produce “really tough, really big, really great advertising” aimed at persuading Americans not to start using opioids in the first place.
“This was an idea that I had, where if we can teach young people not to take drugs,” Mr. Trump said, “it’s really, really easy not to take them.” He shared the story of his brother Fred, who he said had struggled with alcohol addiction throughout his life and implored Mr. Trump never to take a drink — advice the president said he heeded."
All in all, unlikely to change much. No real funding, not a national emergency, just public health, so it can't really overcome many restrictive regulations. And he again mostly ignores the path of legal prescription to addiction.
So much strength ....

Two days after announcing his retirement and denouncing Trumpism from the Senate floor, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) set a different trend — he became the sole Republican senator opposed to Roy Moore’s Senate bid in Alabama.
The GOP are spineless and I don't trust a word they say. They tell you want you want to hear but never follow any of it up with action.
By ClownsAreATen Go To PostWould he endorse Jones? Might be not entirely useless if he did. Could flip 5, maybe 6 votes.
Yeah, that's the rub, isn't it. If the one person is so bad and shouldn't be in the Senate, are you going to endorse the other one. Because if not...
Good on Flake for not doing as every other Republican has done and only when it can't hurt him politically, but why not go all the way.

Wasn't the poll random? Which would imply a lack of intent and rather just sort of a "welp this is who answered".

Recall that during the campaign, Trump insinuated that Rafael Cruz was involved with JFK/Oswald.
Rosenstein is hard for me to get a grip on. He did the right thing with Mueller, but in general I find him repulsive and also have my suspicions about his Mueller motivation. (IE more about self preservation)

Don't know if this was covered

In 2014, a mysterious buyer using a limited liability company that hid the purchaser’s identity paid $10 million in cash for a small apartment building on New York’s lower east side that Cohen had purchased just three years before for $2 million. The handsome appreciation came despite the fact that the assessed value of the property, at 172 Rivington St., hardly budged in these years, hovering around the price Cohen paid for it..
Three other properties Cohen bought and sold in roughly the same time frame followed a similar pattern. Each was purchased by a different LLC, but were tied together by the fact that a lawyer, Herbert Chaves, served as the LLCs’ manager
Slight correction: Thousands of non-Cruz-implicating JFK assassination documents were just released. Thousands more WITH THE REAL TRUTH are being held back for review until April 2018.

Another guy loses his gig due to sexual harassment allegations, meanwhile Trump is still president.
HBO on Thursday announced that it will not move forward with a project connected to prominent political journalist Mark Halperin’s co-authored book on the 2016 election, as another woman came forward to accuse Halperin of sexual misconduct.
“HBO is no longer proceeding with the project tied to the untitled book co-authored by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann on the 2016 Presidential election,” the network told CNN in a statement. “HBO has no tolerance for sexual harassment within the company or its productions.”

A spokesman for Cambridge Analytica, which mined and analyzed voter data for the Trump campaign last year, told Business Insider after this article's publication that "interns often carry out small learning exercises as part of their internship.".
Oh go fuck yourself lol
Cambridge Analytica fuck off? Also deeply in loathing with Trump's emergency health initiative working with Pharma took hook people on legal painkillers. We're getting closer and closer to Stupid Brave New World.
Yeah, that is just ridiculous! Pretty blatant corruption and favoritism going on here, and the GOP continues to keep its head buried in the sand.
I know it’s getting tiring at this point to make this comparison, but just imagine if this happened under anyone else’s administration. Countless hearings would be held, and heads would roll. Trump has had at least 50 scandals at or above this scale, and hasn’t even been reprimanded by GOP leadership once! How are we letting them get away with this???

Man Trump's prepping to end Mueller. Recent tweets and comments have been about how this is an expensive waste of time.
Going to assume that someone on FOX was talking this morning about how this was a waste of money. No one is going to fall for this crap anymore other than Trump diehards. All Democrats need to keep saying is that it's about Russian meddling and not necessarily about Trump and people do still care.
Ugh, just read the tweets.
I just hope if he does it, he times it at the worst possible moment politically and the party has to sacrifice him.

There were rumors that something big is coming around Christmas. There's a distinct possibility that if there's something big, Mueller holds it until he gets dropped.
They're gonna try and shut it down on the basis that it costs too much!?!! All while latching onto this Uranium and Clinton Funded Oppo to distract?

He went after the cost issue again on Friday morning, tweeting, "It is now commonly agreed, after many months of COSTLY looking, that there was NO collusion between Russia and Trump. Was collusion with HC!"
Critics have only gained momentum as Mueller’s probe has advanced. King in a July interview called for legislation imposing both a deadline and budget constraints on Mueller; otherwise, the Republican congressman warned, Trump could face “a never-ending investigation that could go on for two presidential terms.”
Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) tried in August to offer an amendment to the House budget resolution that would have halted Mueller’s funding just six months into the job. “No fishing expeditions,” he told Fox News as he tried to sell the measure.

It's the general narrative they're trying to set. If congress does it, it can't be used against Trump in any future obstruction case either.

The Mueller thing worries me because it’s been so long without anything concrete that I feel like it will just end up as a big W that Trump can toss around. Hate how so many people have gone all in with the Russia conspiracy that I keep reading they “rigged” the election.

Everything has been pointing towards this being something.
