Politics What is happening????

THIS
We’re With Stupid

We need to look at ourselves in the mirror...
We allow this
We vote them in
We are the ignorant ( in whole...)
We are the neglectful

You want quality? You want what you desire in politics and government?
Let the BUYER beware.
It's OUR responsibility...
To be aware
To ask the questions
To know the direction
To call on the BS
We let others do the work, do the investigation...then are shocked when the aren't up to snuff.

Know your wares.
Know your politics.
Use your friggin' brains
Vote

 

Muslims Are Often the First Victims of Muslim Terrorists

People often forget this in their ignorance or paranoia.
Terrorists are EXTREME and radical maniacs who use religion as their catalyst
But anything is their target to gain attention, including those closest to home.

Which is why MOST people of the same religion, want them caught and killed as much, if not more than those outside of it or in other countries.
Death is death.

 

The FCC is being manipulated by the Russians??
FCC Got 444,938 Net-Neutrality Comments From Russian Email Addresses

Makes me wonder how many other entities in the post-industrial world are being screwed with media/tech for political gain and leverage against opponents.

We may have created a Monster here, folks...

 

CVS to Buy Aetna for $69 Billion in a Deal That May Reshape the Health Industry

This is so much conflict of interest, it's ridiculous
And the current administration won't do dittly about it.

 

I think the "cash out" portion is the key.

We have let go of most anti-monopoly discretion since the late 90's
Pretty much almost any purchase goes.

I don't mind the backwood square-dance orgy that goes on Wall Street everyday.
But there are some that truly are a conflict with how an industry work AND conflict of interest.

Now CVS will be biased and push Aetna...and even more important Aetna will push CVS.
There will be NO competition.
That IS the definition of monopoly.

And that goes against my capitalist heart.

 

That’s even worse, then you’ll have all major pharmacies to by a major insurance

What happens to the multitude of smaller pharmacies and insurance companies???

They can’t afford it AND it wouldn’t sync per state nationally

It would be a mess

 

E.P.A. Employees Spoke Out. Then Came Scrutiny of Their Email.

Ok, this is some spooky tyranny level shit.
Happening in America

There has GOT to be a law against this somewhere...

 

Followup...again, this is happening all over the world...the US is just playing catchup.
Kremlin trolls burned across the Internet as Washington debated options

We're lingering, distracted and debating...and Russian rats are nibbling at the foundation...infestation everywhere.
You don't need a few mousetraps...you need a full on exterminator.
It's not a conspiracy, it's a reality.

 

Was 2017 the Craziest Year in U.S. Political History?

Interesting comparison...
And this is just the US...other countries have suffered their own insanity.

Do I think it as crazy as Civil War times?? WWI? WWII?? The Great Depression? and so on... No.
BUT...once you factor in the specter of nukes.
The small insane spark is the potential light to dynamite.

Other than that, I'm just sad about the waste, distraction and pain.
We could do better.

Perspective | What did the men with Donald Trump do when he spoke of ‘shithole countries’?

Now this is not about Trump...well, his actions are a sample here.

The big question is how OTHERS react to bad actions???
Are we not responding?
Are we ignoring?
Are we allowing this?

Are YOU allowing this to go by when this happens in your life???

We should take others in account WHEN the event happens.
How can we call ourselves civilized otherwise?

Now this is not the first time we've had bad actors...nor will it be the last.
Seems to come in waves.

Question is how we address those surges of ugly.

Integrity goes both ways...the actor and the audience.
