Trump, Mika and Joe and why I dont effing care.
Submitted by LaFeminista on Fri, 06/30/2017 - 3:00pmThese people amongst so many others played with the truth over the years in the name of ratings. They helped create the monsters that rule us, they have helped divide America for their own hubris and greed. So many of these media fakes have made their fortunes by spreading falsehoods, they are no better than Alex Jones and his ilk; just a little less obvious.

Scott Ritter examines OPCW report on claimed Sarin attack at Khan Sheikhun and finds large discrepancies.
Submitted by CB on Fri, 06/30/2017 - 11:04amIt turns out that both HRW and the OPCW relied on the purported 'NGO' called the White Helmets to provide samples, descriptions, photographs as well as witnesses to the event. Neither agency had their own investigative teams on the ground where the supposed attack actually occurred. Wholly depending on parties that have an invested interest in convicting the Syrian government goes against all norms of jurisprudence.
It is in this light that Scott Ritter looks at the claims being made of the purported Sarin bombing at Khan Sheikhun. What we discover is that the OPCW report rests almost entirely on evidence and testimony given by the White Helmets.

Submitted by Phoebe Loosinhouse on Fri, 06/30/2017 - 9:10amNo, I'm not referring to the infamous Trump Tweet yesterday about Mika bleeding from a face lift, and the resultant uproar, I'm referring to what their response to that tweet on "Morning Joe" this morning revealed - that they had been told by "three people at the top of the White House" to either apologize to Donald Trump for their unflattering coverage or face the consequences of a National Enquirer expose.
Health care system is already an unaffordable disaster

Because of Obamacare millions have subsidized health insurance that otherwise wouldn't.
All of this is undeniably true.
The problem is that the conversation usually stops there.

Republicans on House Armed Services Committee express their hatred of transgender people
Submitted by Robyn on Thu, 06/29/2017 - 12:20pmYesterday I warned that the House Armed Services Committee was going to take up the issue of open service by transgender people in the military.
Republicans railed against the Pentagon’s transgender policy on Wednesday, but ultimately did not move to reverse the policy during a debate on the annual defense policy bill.
But there was plenty of bigotry expressed.
