Ian Welsh is an idiot. Obama ended the Bush tax cuts, removed troops from Iraq, tried to close Guantanamo Bay, tried to fix health care, et. al. He should have done more, especially w.r.t. civil liberties, but he wasn't Bush's third term.

Tried to fix healthcare? Please elaborate

I don't think elaboration is necessary. It's painfully obvious to anyone who hasn't lived in a cave the last 10 years.

Was the veteran spy also only identified by a cutely ironic monicker?
That's how you know it's for real!

So in other words, you're incapable of answering what should be a simple question.

Former intelligence officer = MIC Contractor for $$$.

Just because Trumpligula has a Russian hacker implant in his pre frontal cortex does not mean he is a bad person.

No, raping a 13 year old means he is a bad person. But clearly, there are internet links from Trump to Russian banks, so I heard.

They're steering clear of the orgy video Putin's security shot of Trump in Moscow.

They probably don't even need that as a lever over Trump.

I missed that one too!

She refuses to answer whether her no-fly zone would shoot down Russian Aircraft.

Which is a given, by definition a no fly zone would include Russian planes.

Killary's real agenda, worth the watch.

Why would Russia try to turn someone into a sexual predator & child rapist
when they already fill the bill?

I'm not saying this video exists, but some have asserted as much, which raises questions and casts a shadow over the Trump campaign.

From the linked article:

Aim, endorsed by PUTIN, has been to encourage splits and divisions in western alliance." It maintained that Trump "and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals." It claimed that Russian intelligence had "compromised" Trump during his visits to Moscow and could "blackmail him." It also reported that Russian intelligence had compiled a dossier on Hillary Clinton based on "bugged conversations she had on various visits to Russia and intercepted phone calls."

The former intelligence officer says the response from the FBI was "shock and horror." The FBI, after receiving the first memo, did not immediately request additional material, according to the former intelligence officer and his American associates. Yet in August, they say, the FBI asked him for all information in his possession and for him to explain how the material had been gathered and to identify his sources. The former spy forwarded to the bureau several memos—some of which referred to members of Trump's inner circle. After that point, he continued to share information with the FBI. "It's quite clear there was or is a pretty substantial inquiry going on," he says.

Trump is the Manchurian Spaz!

An orgy video of Trump would cure porn addiction, Hail Trump!

"So in other words, you're incapable of answering what should be a simple question."

Not sure what you even mean? You're not aware that Obama implemented a new health care system? I could post a bunch of links about it, but as you're clearly being disingenuous, I don't feel playing.

You said Obama tried to fix health care.

I'm not asking for links, I'm asking for you to elaborate, in your own words.

Don't worry, I understand why you avoid answering.

"Former intelligence officer = MIC Contractor for $$$."

Let me simplify it for everyone.

Anyone who says anything bad about Trump = MIC Contractor for $$$.

Elaborate what exactly? I'll be happy to answer if you ask a logical question.

Expanded affordable coverage for the poor (causing prevention related efficiencies) and coverage for those with preexisting conditions are the two biggest positives of the ACA. Way less people end up waiting until they are in critical condition and showing up at the emergency room with advanced disease.

Secondary is kids being on parents plans until what ? 25, or 26.

Biggest negatives are that insurance companies and the profit motive are still too much involved in channeling what people pay for health care towards providers. Obama correctly calculated that it wasn't yet the time to go for a more complete solution.

The obvious forces acting as obstacles to reform are those who don't believe that the poor should get the same quality of health care as the rich. I'm not even weighing in on that - but it's so obviously the big philosophical obstacle. (In this case rich would include those working people with quality health insurance).

Big questions exist: what quality of health care could reasonably be delivered to everyone ? And what changes have to occur in our health care and possibly even economic models before everyone could get good high quality health care ? Who pays for it, and how ? Does everyone deserve it ? We are told everyone deserves to be born.

Who pays for the quality health care provided to those who are disabled, those who don't work or can't work ?

There are a lot of reasons why this can't shift in a huge way all at once. It's not Obama's fault. He took as much of a step as he thought he could. This is how progress occurs, one step at a time.

The other thing you should notice is that Johnsons numbers are also taking a dump. Even 3% for him seems kind a little high. Those people are also switching to Trump.

ABC is a horrible poll.

Gary Anderson says

ABC is a horrible poll.

Every poll is a horrible poll when Trump is in the lead... Right?

Trump orgy video: "Up to a year, they are good eating. The meat just falls off the bones. After that, they are suitable for breeding."

Let me simplify it for everyone.

Anybody who says anything bad about Hillary = KGB/Putin/Vast Right Wing Conspiracy/Sexist/Misogynist

Anonymous 'former intel' people and IT guys identified by internet nicknames only = invaluable, unimpeachable, rock solid sources that must be taken utterly seriously.

The reason that Trump is trying so hard to lose this election is that he knows that the CIA is on to this blackmail, and it is going to assinate Trump for the good of the country if elected.

DieBankOfAmericaPhukkingDie says

Fuckface Ballmer is a billionaire because he kept hookers in Bay Village from beating up Bill Gates when they were loser undergrads at Harvard who couldn't get sucked off by Radcliffe chicks like normal guys in their class. Daddy Gates appreciated Steve's menacing size and the utility it had in scaring away vicious prostitutes and their marauding pimps who would harm their darling Billy.

This is copy-pasted from Gates' autobiography. Shameless plagiarism.

YesYNot says

going to assinate Trump

Shoot: the verb has poundassed it's way into a stunted form.

Ameirca aobut assination!

Can't say we didn't learn learn anything from 10lb. In base 14, that's one stone, which is about how smart he is. Even a stone is the answer if you ask the right question.

It's easy enough to not take Nexium or Januvia and use OTC stuff from WalMart instead. I even get my cat's insulin (Humilin N) at the WalMart pharmacy without a prescription, and it's only $25 and unlike the stuff made specifically for cats (ProZinc, which is $130) the Humilin N doesn't lose it's effectiveness so quickly after first using the bottle.

Withdraw all americans to the homeland.

Is the title referring to D & R voters?

I'm waiting on the poll on November 8.

It's a sad state of affairs.
Trump & Clinton are the best america has to offer.

jazz music says

Yeah, it's almost as if there was a powerful group dedicated to stopping him from doing anything significant.

Sorry, but he didn't even try

Gates was Ballmer's excuse to strangle hookers into insensate submission.

jazz music says

I wish you had less to be sorry for. Wanting to win doesn't justify every lie and hypocrisy. Every day brings you an opportunity for you to join reality where truth can be found, it's not so hard.

And he didn't even try if you listen to talk radio and Fox, but in the real world there are many real accomplishments by just one democrat and don't ever forget that Bill Clinton had us FREE OF DEBT!

Ah, whatever.

The fact is Comey is looking at the unredacted, unexpurgiated shit that was on Weiner's machine right now. They are running algos connecting strands between the various emails.

This stuff is such dynamite that there's no chance Hillary can be saved if just a snippet of it came out. She is just hoping at this point to have some long shot of surviving long enough to kill the investigation by squeaking by the election and having enough democratic wins to split Congress for breathing room.

I almost guarantee you there is unbelievable stuff in there. The trial may have to be the most secretive in US History because of the atomic-grade bombshells in there.

My belief is that Wikileaks has a little piece of the 33,000 deleted emails but it saving it for last because it contains world-destabiliing information.

The thing is Hillary knows it would be terrible if it got out, but she still won't stand aside and save the country and the world all the problems, because Goddammit this is her turn. She'll fix it when she gets in!

Hillary is so damned inept at people it's laughable. She matters to a Columbian audience. That may sound cold but Latin American people are more openly prejudice twoard each other, and have more social issues between the groups, than Ameircan Whites and Blacks have. She figures Florida Cuban, Machado Latina must be the same thing. She only got 7500 to show up for Jennifer Lopez. Now that's a woman that has been vicimized by men. Marc Anothony knocked the shit out of her a few times. Why didn't Hillary get Machado to turn her back to the crowd and twerk her butt to the crowd?

Wow--you've gone full Breitbart on us now. You sound more and more like bass every day.
