    Kellyanee Conway is in charge of Trump’s “Opioid Cabinet: https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/06/kellyanne-conway-opioid-drug-czar-325457 .

    “White House counselor Kellyanne Conway has taken control of the opioids agenda, quietly freezing out drug policy professionals and relying instead on political staff to address a lethal crisis claiming about 175 lives a day. The main response so far has been to call for a border wall and to promise a “just say no” campaign. […] “

    Yeah, a wall and “just say no” are common sense GOP healthcare solutions that will complement the GOP’s alternative to Obamacare.

    It’s treason to not clap for a narcissist of low character and intelligence. Trump will prove it by spending 8 figures on a military parade where soldiers will clap for him.

    And in other news: It’s for Trump to make a determination whether the Schiff memo response to the Nunes memo is to be released. So when is the memo going to be leaked to Hannity or Fox & Friends so someone Trump listens to will read it, and tell Trump what to do?

      Kelly, My General Kelly… You see that tiny used car Elon has floating out there. It’s such a little car. Doesn’t even have a roof. Get NASA in here today. I want to have a Trump hotel sent to space, no, wait – a golf course – one of the ones that’s failing… And find me a general to send up with it, with a really good name, not like Tom. Tom… who calls a major Tom, sad. And get that singer to write me a better song. Tell him to include the name of the golf course and use marching sounds, I like marching, and lots of those tiny little flutes. I like the tiny flutes, they make your hands look bigger… Lets see Elon top that.

        Likewise not to be outdone, the Koch brothers are planning to launch a one-tom piece of coal into space.

    Why are lawsuit loans and futures trading on the S&P 500 considered investments while my investment on wired aces in Texas Holdem is considered illegal gambling?

    How much Georgia taxpayer money did the Black Panther movie production receive?

    Tippins’ bill is fine but let it not obscure the one to disallow Georgia Power from further profiting off of their consumers for the increasing delays. Better still, let Georgia Power assume all of the future cost of this boondoggle since their consumers would be better served and save money if the project ceased right now and and an equivalent natural gas generation facility was built.

    The “computer crime bill” reeks of ALEC. Am I right?

    Mullis sponsored SB 315? I didn’t think he new what a computer or the internet was.

    I hope House Bill 788 goes nowhere. We already have a hard enough time trying to keep out the Alabamans as it is in Dade County.

    Trumps RCP avg is 42% Obama’s was 48% (Rasmussen is not a credible pollster since they only use land lines which skews their sample rightward)
    More important though DISAPPROVAL
    Trump is at 55% Obama was 45% at this time
    So polls are not your friend yet if you are Trump

    It may not be any different that Flynn. Flynn lied to the VP; nothing’s been reported about Flynn lying to Trump.

    Congress is going to pass a budget that increases spending (across the board) more then any budget passed in the last 8 years, – after passing a corporate tax cut bill which will further increase the national debt worse then anything even proposed in the last 6 years. When you combine the two, it creates a stimulus technically bigger then any thing Obama ever did and was a catalyst that lead to the formation of the Tea Party the over spending and debt was so bad (even though it was during the worse economy in 8 decades).

    Basically spending and creating national debt are okay when the GOP controls government, it’s bad when the Democrats control the government.

      I think us already a bit into an economic bubble. What will be able to be done, and what will happen, when the bubble inevitably bursts?
