Ninth Circuit: It would be 'talismanic' were Courts to defer completely and entirely to a President's invocation of national security. Trump overstepped his authority in temporarily banning nationals of six countries

Newt Gingrich dispatched to smear Mueller and his team as 'bad guys.'

Quote:
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich spoke critically of special counsel Robert Mueller and his team, calling special counsels "very dangerous."

"I mean, these are people who are going to be after [President Donald] Trump," Gingrich told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America" today, adding that he believes the investigation should be curtailed given the biases associated with the case.

Gingrich added that those who believe the investigation is going to be "neutral" and "professional" are "delusional."

Back to the jobs front.

The Commonwealth Fund has a new jobs analysis for the American Health Care Act.

http://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2017/jun/ahca-economic-and-employment-consequences

About 725,000 jobs would be lost in the healthcare sector over ten years. This coincides with over 20 million losing insurance.

This seems bad.

Back to the poll question: SJWs will write history b/c they scream the loudest and whine the most.

No matter what Trump does, he will go down in history as a villain. He could end world hunger (he won't) and they'd still paint him as a short penised/orange/small handed petty man.

The truth? 3% mandatory.

Who could have foreseen such animosity after Trump demanded the prior President's birth certificate?

As for screaming and whining, it's almost like 2010 and the Tea Party were decades in the past.

Huh...well, I guess CNN should have been investigating HRC's ties to Saudi Arabia and investigate why she gave a concerning amount of uranium supplies to Russia.

Ah well...the Bush's wash S.A.'s balls so I am not too concerned.

Corporate media have their agenda.

Quote:
What’s the biggest story in the country right now, the one that has the potential to affect the most Americans? The health care bill, am I right? The Senate bill whose details were only just revealed by the Republicans late last week, and whose vote was put off until after the July 4 congressional recess. Yet it was possible to watch all of Fox News’s primetime lineup on Monday — particularly Tucker Carlson Tonight and Hannity — and hear barely a word about the health care debate.


Curious what any of this, other than the Republican tax cut bill, has to do with Trump's legacy, however.

CBO scores the Senate Tax Cut as "Health Bill"

https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52849

Quote:

H.R. 1628, Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017
June 26, 2017
Cost Estimate CBO and JCT estimate that enacting the Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017 would reduce federal deficits by $321 billion over the coming decade and increase the number of people who are uninsured by 22 million in 2026 relative to current law.



The savings come from severe cuts to Medicaid.

Quote:

The largest savings would come from reductions in outlays for Medicaid—spending on the program would decline in 2026 by 26 percent in comparison with what CBO projects under current law—and from changes to the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA’s) subsidies for nongroup health insurance (see Figure 1). Those savings would be partially offset by the effects of other changes to the ACA’s provisions dealing with insurance coverage: additional spending designed to reduce premiums and a reduction in revenues from repealing penalties on employers who do not offer insurance and on people who do not purchase insurance.
The largest increases in deficits would come from repealing or modifying tax provisions in the ACA that are not directly related to health insurance coverage, including repealing a surtax on net investment income and repealing annual fees imposed on health insurers.


What was Trump's position on Medicaid cuts?

Quote:
“I’m not going to cut Social Security like every other Republican and I’m not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid,” he told the conservative Daily Signal, shortly before officially announcing his candidacy.

He said it again and again — including on Twitter.

...

“Save Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security without cuts,” Trump said during one rally, in campaign footage pulled by CNN.


Trump pledged not to cut Medicaid

Only 12% of Americans support the Senate Health Care Plan

Quote:
In the survey, 45% oppose the Senate bill and nearly as many, 40%, say they don't know enough about it to have an opinion. The plan was drafted in closed sessions by a handful of Republican senators and staffers, and it hasn't gone through the customary process of committee hearings.

Even among Republicans, only 26% support the Senate bill; 17% oppose it. A 52% majority say they need more information before they can express a view.

Well, yeah, he promised not to cut those programs. He also pledged not to go on vacation or golfing while he's president. We've all seen how well he keeps his promises.

There are reasons to doubt Obama's place of birth. However, even if he were born outside of US soil, if he was recognized as citizen at birth, he could still be president.
