Colonel Sanders lets loose another howler

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/white-house-takes-dissembling-over-health-care-new-level
SANDERS: Look, the president’s health care plan that he’s laid out covers pre-existing conditions.. . .

We’ve come to expect a fair amount of dissembling from the president’s press secretary, but this was bizarre. For example, Sanders referenced “the president’s health care plan,” which Trump has “laid out.” In reality, such a plan does not exist. If you’re concerned that you missed the president’s presentation “laying out” his health care plan, don’t worry, you didn’t. There was no such presentation.

The caravan is weeks away from reaching the border. It's shrinking in size and it's not the first or the last group of asylum seekers to come to our borders. We have procedures for dealing with all that. But for Trump it's a "National Emergy"!

Donald Trump is setting new standards for presidential dishonesty. But nearly two years into his term in office, major media outlets are still failing to fact-check him. Not only that, but as coverage of a new Trump interview with Axios indicates, they sometimes actively misinform by spreading Trump’s false claims without even attempting to point out that they’re false . . .

The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly.

[NB: A few comments on this. Obviously Trump has taken no lessons on lowering his tone. Another attack against the press is inevitable (remember that two of the MAGAbombs were addressed to CNN -- now three). It is outrageous to suggest that news coverage is inciting violence and division -- unless you mean that critical press AGAINST TRUMP needs to stop. And, of course, that is the point behind it all.]

We don't just quote the people in power but the people who disagree with the people in power." . . .

Military to send 5000 troops to the border to deal with the "caravan." It's a stunt

President Donald Trump has ordered an additional 5,200 troops to “harden” the US-Mexico border . . . “This is an invasion of our Country and our Military is waiting for you!”

Politico noted some troops already at the border “are actually feeding and shoveling out manure from the stalls of the Border Patrol’s horses.” Gil Kerlikowske, former Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) commissioner, told the Washington Post that Trump’s action is “a misuse of active duty military,” adding, “To say this isn’t a political stunt is misleading the public.” The caravan is several weeks from reaching the U.S. border. It is legal to claim asylum at a port of entry. The Washington Post’s Christopher Ingraham noted the number of U.S. troops at the border will exceed the number of members of the caravan, which continues to shrink . . .

It's next to impossible for the migrants to have smallpox, the last known case of which was seen in Somalia in 1977. . . . The World Health Organization declared leprosy “eliminated as a public health problem” in 2000 . . .
