Clapper didn't know of Comey's investigations, if you weren't privy to those investigations you would have no idea. So no, you're wrong read up. Even DJT took down that blatant lie from his header last night.

Originally posted by froot loops View PostThat rhetoric is jumping the gun, but serious investigations that aren't being done by compromised investigators should be undertaken. Hacking like this by a foreign power is very serious and should be a concern for any US politician. The Republican senators yesterday besides Ben Sasse did not seem concerned at all about the Russian hacks. One thing is for certain, even if they have found something damaging, Hillary Clinton won't be awarded the Presidency nor will Merrick Garland get a hearing.
But for then to put their heads in the sand regarding the Russian hacks says one thing, "The end justifies the means." That is what their actions are saying.

The complexity of coverage for pre-existing conditions comes in the form of the ability of the state's to request a waiver to the federal regulation that, in general, insurers cannot refuse coverage because of a pre-existing condition.
While the circumstances by which a waiver might be granted seem straight forward, I have to read them a couple of times to be clear about them and if I'm a HS graduate, unemployed or minimally employed and I'm 60 with heart disease and diabetes, and I'm shopping for commercial insurance though the exchanges, I dunno.
I do disagree with this assertion at face value:
The Obama Care exchanges are failing becasue of the Law's tangle of regulations that drove up costs and made insurance economically unappealing to the young and healthy.
The ACA exchanges are failing because the mandates were challenged in the courts. I think one can argue that the young and healthy aren't enrolling but that is, at baseline, why the exchanges can't work in providing low cost coverage for everyone.
One other thing ...... while it's true that Medicaid beneficiaries are not affected, that some states did not expand Medicaid coverage and those that did will, by funding restrictions for Medicaid, be forced to reduce coverage. I don't know the estimated numbers but it is not "a fraction of a fraction of a fraction" that are going to be searching for essentially unaffordable health care insurance on the broken exchanges.
I do think there is something in the current AHCA that provides some kind of relieve for that but I'll be damned if I can understand it. Talk about a "tangle of regulations."Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off.

4500 a month after taxes along with free medical and dental and commissary and PX privledges along with military discounts on a lot of things and travel stuff is not a bad life for 40 hrs a week
unfortunately the military is more like a 60 hr a week job--as an E6 he's probably been deployed twice for 2 years without his family
pros and cons--its not gravy on the outside either

Jeff:
The mandate was upheld by the Court. The problem is that the fines are either too small or a paper tiger in terms of enforcement. That is, it's a problem if you want young folks enrolled.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for my pay. I know it could be worse. We get lots of extra days off, I don't pay for my healthcare. Though my Battalion's PA got his medical degree in dermatology, so good luck getting his to diagnose much of anything worth value.
I will say as a final note from my soapbox; the American people are not the problem, the politicians are. At the first sign of defense budget resistance they start talking about cutting cost by lowering pay increases, taking benefits and cutting soldier programs. Not big budget "future forces" programs, half of which will never see production. Over 8 years of President Obama being in office we had 2 pay increases that actually kept pace with inflation his first year (A Bush budget) and this last year.

Fox is presenting James Kallstrom as 'someone who knew Jim Comey well". He went on a diatribe condemning Comey as betraying the FBI.
Here's his wiki page.
Kallstrom is a Trump supporter who last worked for the FBI in 1997 and is a regular guest on Limbaugh's show. If he 'knows Comey well", I'm Bonnie Prince Charlie. This is a good example of how Fox totally misrepresents it's 'experts' when it suits their needs.
