This investigation into the investigators is just more smoke and mirrors from Trump.
The "witch hunt" caught quite a few witches. Trump must have at least known his people were chatting with the Russians, which makes him complicit, or else he wasn't aware, in which case, he's incompetent.

McConnell vowed to block prescription drug plan that would save $345 billion

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's plan would allow Medicare to negotiate lower prices with pharmaceutical companies.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell promised last month that he would block a drug pricing plan introduced in the House, calling it a "socialist" program that would do "damage to the healthcare system."
Now, new analysis by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office has found that drug plan, put forward by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, would in fact save Medicare $345 billion over a decade.
The bulk of this savings would come from allowing the program to negotiate lower prices with pharmaceutical companies — something that is currently banned by law — to save money on the insulin and other expensive medications.
Pelosi unveiled the House Democratic plan, called the Lower Drug Costs Now Act, last month. She said the bill would be "transformative" in lowering the cost of prescription drugs.
McConnell, the self-described "Grim Reaper" who blocks all progress in the Senate, quickly vowed to block the legislation.
"Socialist price controls will do a lot of left-wing damage to the healthcare system. And of course we’re not going to be calling up a bill like that," he said at the time, according to Politico.

America’s Bizarre Plunge Into Authoritarian Fascist Theocracy



Just How Weird and Extreme is This Collapse Getting?

Just how weird and extreme is America’s descent into authoritarian-fascist-theocracy getting? Consider just a smattering of events from recent days.
First, there’s the above. That’s the…uhh…State Department Website. Touting proudly the virtues of…”Christian Leadership.” Now, I’m not anti-religious in the slightest. I’m not the kind of militant atheist that’s annoying on Twitter (I’m annoying on Twitter for entirely different reasons.) I think having a soul…is an anchor of sanity and a bulwark of humanity. But — surprise — I also think that when you mix church and state, you end up with spectacularly implosive results.
Now, it barely takes a grade schooler to say: this violates the separation of church and state. And yet high government office literally proudly extolling “Christian Leadership” follows hot on the heels of an already hilariously inept and corrupt Attorney General complaining bitterly about the ills of “secularists and their allies”, as the cause of all America’s many, many problems. Their allies? It’s those damned gays and blacks and women again! What the? Fool me once, fool me twice, etc. Here we have a clear pattern of aspiring theocracy from…the Secretary of State and Attorney General.

Stop and really think about this for a second. The Secretary of State — that is, the man charged with domestic governance — is using his office to promote religion as governance, instead of democracy, and the Attorney General thinks that America’s problems, from economic stagnation to inequality to, ironically, having extremists in office…all stem from…Americans not being pious and Godly enough. From being Godless communists, perhaps. There’s only, well, three small problems with that. One, Americans are the most church-going people in the rich world. Two, America’s problems have nothing whatsoever to do with going to church or not. And three, “secularism” is literally the foundation of the project known as constitutional democracy.

Two entirely different things...……..the girl was whining like a spoiled brat, while the President was performing one of the duties of the job. Let's get things back in proper prospective. The girl from a foreign country was speaking out of turn. A child should not be speaking like that to adults in a foreign country. Very disrespectful.
