Every morning around nine I'm drinking coffee and watching Andrea (who I really

Don't like,) I'm just waking up. The network always breaks in at this time to give us the White House briefing. I think Andrea is pathetic, but I hate Spacey. The way he talks, gestures, his voice, everything about him. He is the last person that should get a straight hour,almost,of airtime. I think we should just be able to get the info without being tortured. The same with trump. He's a terrible speaker, he never says anything relevant, except his lie of the hour. Bad acting ! it feels so much like fux propaganda tv. So I shut it off and come here. Thanks for letting me get news without the bullshit.

Flush that money right down the toilet. The billionaires have spent millions to

Control the SC. Reject Gorsuch and tell them to get flushed. (Have you noticed all the commercials for him?)

http://progressive.org/dispatches/zephyr-teachout-on-gorsuch/

From article:
One of the most remarkable moments during SC nominee Neil Gorsuchs hearing came when Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-RI, questioned Gorsuch about money in politics. Noting that dark money had spent around seven million to defeat Merrick Garland, Obamas ill-fated nominee, and spent ten million to support Gorsuch.

Whitehouse asked Gorsuch what ideological bent had endeared him to this group of secret donors.
"I'm trying to figure out what they see in you to make you worth spending $17 million. Do you have an answer for that?"

"You'd have to ask them" Gorsuch relied tersely.

"I can't. Because I don't know who they are" , Whitehouse shot back. "It's just a front group."

The above was taken from the article. Could not copy. Typed it in.

So in the interest of a little fairness, I think bought and paid for Gorsuch should go down the toilet with all that dark money.

Trump Is Dragging Us Into Another War... And No One Is Talking About It
While Americans have been focused on the ACA and Trump’s ties to Russia, Trump has been busy expanding the American troop presence inside Syria.

With no announcement trump has sent 500 troops into Syria.

Plans are for hundreds more to be sent .in the next few weeks. Rumors are this could be the tip of the iceberg. The administration is trying to keep it secret.

This info is from Sen. Chris Murphy at huffpost.
