What is Wrong With You? Michelle Savages Trump’s Attack on Improving School Lunches

Trump Attacks American Children in his rollback of healthy school lunches.

'What Is Wrong with You?' Michelle Obama Savages Trump for Gutting regulations to help improve school lunches.

Former first lady attacks president’s reversal of regulations to help improve school lunches: ‘Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.’

Why would Trump and the GOP attack on your children and your children's health?

Michelle repeatedly said take me out of the equation, take politics out of the equation. This is not a partisan topic - it's the well being of your children.

‘Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.’

On this Mother's Day think about if it would be OK for you as a mother to allow the President or any politician who is 'OK with your kids eating crap' to determine what your children eat?

“This is where you really have to look at motives, you know. You have to stop and think: why don’t you want our kids to have good food at school? What is wrong with you?” said Michelle.

And think about the only people who benefit from this. The manufactures who are able to manufacture cheap food to feed your children and fatten their profits. And of course there are the other beneficiaries. The politicians who accepted large political donations and dark money contributions to keep them in office.

The Republican politicians and the president they helped elect have already demonstrated that they won't stand up for your children.

It's up to the mother's of the United States to stand up for their children.

On this Mother's Day the question is are your children for sale?

Are you willing to stay quiet and let Trump and the Republican party (also known as the GOP or Guardians OF Privilege) sell your child's health to the highest bidder?

Death Panels are Real

Death panels are real. Trump and the GOP yesterday were celebrating the potential deaths of 20-40 thousand Americans per year that were estimated to die each year because of the passage of Trumpcare. You probably saw the newsfeeds from the Rosegarden where Republicans were slapping each other on the back, cheering and celebrating the passage of Trumpcare. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that 24 million Americans would lose their healthcare under the earlier failed version of Trumpcare. It didn't matter that millions of Americans were worried and had concerns.

In their rush to jam the bill down the throats of Americans they did not even wait for a review before they took the vote. They knew the only way to get this past even members of their own party was by hiding the facts and through stealth and speed. The memory of how the tide turned against the 1st Failed Trumpcare bill after the Congressional Budget Office came out showing that 24 million Americans would lose their health care was fresh in Republicans' memory. Trump and the Republicans didn't want to risk telling the American people what they really were going to lose.

Remember these cuts are being made to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Because that is really who the Republican party supports. The GOP party doesn't stand for Grand Old Party - the party representing you and me. GOP really stands for Guardians of Privilege.

Another Trump Gift to Russia – Payback For What?

Trump did a mass firing of justice officials. It feels like this is another step towards dictatorship. Haven't we seen the same sort of thing all around the world? A dictator or so called Strong-man comes in to power promising his followers that he will make things great again. Next thing they know he is implementing actions that take away their rights.

The voters don't like it. Legal challenges are made to the actions of the president. He doesn't like it so he fires all of the judges and judiciary who won't just rubber stamp what he wants. Then puts the protesters in jail or "disappears" them.

Little did Trump voters know that they were voting to end democracy. Little did voters know they were voting have their rights taken away from them. Little did they know that the internal White house analysis of Trumpcare would boot 26 million voters, many of them Trump voters, off health insurance in the first year.. The White House analysis is even worst than the CBO office analysis Trump Fired Well Respected Attorney who was banned by Russia for Prosecuting Arms Dealer

This attorney is rumored also to have been investigating other cases about Trump ties to Russia, Trump ethics violations and Trump conflicts of interest and those in Trump's government.

It was also reported that this attorney, since he was so well regarded for his investigations and prosecutions into corruption was told by Trump personally that he could stay on even though he was originally appointed by Obama. But then word leaked out of one more investigation of one of Trump's associates and -poof the attorney was gone. Unceremoniously dispatched by a Trump administration that found they had some things they would rather remain uninvestigated.

Trump Bungles First Military Operation With the Help of “Mad Dog” Mattis and Steve Bannon

Trump Bungles First First Military operation in a military operation he approved over dinner. Previous Presidents would have sought extensive briefings in the situation. But Trump approved this operation without the in depth consultation with security and legal experts over dinner.

This operation was approved by Trump at a dinner with "Mad Dog" Mattis, Trump's Defense Secretary. Also present were Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon.

As described in this NPR report Steve Bannon was Elevated By Trump to sit in on the National Defense Council while demoting the director of National Intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The military operation in Yeman in which the New York Times article described this Disastrous Raid said there were numerous mistakes and miscalculations - everything that could go wrong did.

The cost from Trump' Raid was high. An American commando was killed. A 75 Million Dollar aircraft was lost. There were high civilian casualties including an 8 year old girl.

Many analysts say this raid, because of the high civilian casualties in this tribal area, actually resulted in more enemies for the United States not less.
