The bern is being intellectually dishonest here. Does anyone actually believe that Medicare, Medicaid, or social security are remotely viable in the long term?https://twitter.com/sensanders/status/9 ... 9541736449
There it is. Paul Ryan just admitted that after providing $1 trillion in tax breaks to the top 1% and large corporations, Republicans will try to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and help for the most vulnerable Americans.

It's okay though. If Trump is living up to his campaign promises, he'll veto anything that cuts those 3.

http://thehill.com/homenews/news/363681 ... ssion=true
So basically the money is not actually going away from helping homeless vets.VA Secretary David Shulkin reportedly told those on the call that the money for the program would now go to VA hospitals for use as they see fit. The hospitals must show that they are working to deal with homelessness as part of their work, according to Politico.
It is just being administered differently.The decision comes after a joint press conference between Shulkin and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson at a Washington, D.C. homeless shelter in which the two announced a new commitment to ending homelessness among the nation's veterans.
The program provides housing vouchers to veterans via the Department of Housing and Urban Development while the VA continues helping veterans find more permanent housing.

Take a successful program and put it into a more bureaucratic process, I’m sure it will work out.

SS yes. That can be kicked down the street with benefit changes and increasing the retirement age. Medicare and Medicaid, that is currently not sustainable. Eventually, I believe only a single payer system is viable public solution. The GOP's condemnation of Obamacare, to me, paves the way for the eventual development of a single payer system. When the democrats come back in to power after the eventual disgraced GOP reign, they will likely use that mandate to erase portions of the Trump tax cut to finance things like single payer healthcare.The bern is being intellectually dishonest here.

The official WH statement on Trump’s slurred speech during his Jerusalem speech was “dry mouth”. It is definitely not #DonaldDentures

No, unless the attorney was representing both of them. But even then having an attorney there doesn't create some mystical barrier; you can't hide testimony/evidence/illegal acts by giving it to your attorney or invoking privilege.I saw a story that don jr refused to say what he told Don Sr due to “attorney client privilege”. These two are not lawyers, and if there was a lawyer in the room does that count?

There are exceptions (none of which are applicable here), but generally speaking, when a third party is in the room, that pierces privilege. There is also a thing called the crime-fraud exception.No, unless the attorney was representing both of them.

When I first saw this story, I thought djt was talking about the Trump Tower meeting. Which would mean he was trying to invoke privilege with that Vasselineskya lady. Which would've been straight kooky dukes.

This is crazy:
https://twitter.com/m_rhodan/status/938794621521494016At congressional hearing on preventing sexual harassment in the workplace, Gloria Lett, counsel for the office of House Employment Counsel, just said a former employer of hers had a whip in his office to “motivate” black employees. The audience gasped.
