I mean, sometimes you have to take the good and put it in your pocket and take the win. He wants to make sure people dont get left behind. Make sure theres competition in the marketplace so rates are lower and people can choose their doctor. If those three things are incompatible with some members of the republican house, then its going to be incompatible and we need to work with moderate democrats to make sure that happens. More or less the warning shot that we are willing to talk to anyone. We always have been. Shortly after republican Health Care Bill was pulled from the floor, President Trump criticized democrats for not supporting the will. Yesterday Senate Minority leader signaled willingness to work with republicans. I think the losers are nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer. Now they own obamacare. They own it. 100 own it.

The House Intelligence Committee Russian Investigation is veering towards partisan collision as republican chairman nunez has put off a session with top officials. Cancelling tuesdays opening hearing with sally yates, James Clapper and john brennen. Nunez says they directed to return before the committee in a closed se setting first. Yesterday the top democrat claimed the chairman was trying to stifle another round of testimony that could be damaging to the white house. Especially what sally yates may reveal about Michael Flynn after disclosure of her warning to the white house about russian contacts set flynns firing in motion. I think that hearing went so poorly for the white house that there was a lot of pushback in doing a second open hearing. H honestly because the other explains dont make sense. We could have comey and rogers come back at any time. No necessity of having them come back before the open hearing. That was merely an effort to camouflage the two object here, the closure or the cancellation of the hearing with sally yates. On friday, chairman nunez says the committee would hear the testimony of former Trump Campaign chairman paul manafort. Former aides roger stone and carter page have asked to appear before the committee.

He cannot be sure they were monitor or merely mentioned under surveillance. Reversal from two days earlier when he said members of tv team were at least monitored. Waiting for documents from the intelligence community. Committee member reacted yesterday. None of us have seen what the chairman is talking about. This evidence was taken apparently directly to the white house, which creates another issue because of course its associates involved in the Trump Campaign who are in part the subject of what were investigating. We cant have a credible investigation if one of the members takes only information he has seen to the white house and doesnt share it with his own committee. The chairman of house well briefed the commander in chief on something that has nothing to do with the russian information. The commander in chief cannot be briefed by the chairperson of the house well committee on a matter that has nothing to do with the fbi investigation, then i dont know what they can talk about.

There were three strikes in total. We could see upwards of 350 civilians killed. Western mosul and especially the old city, like all old cities, very compact. Full of civilians. Isis uses civilians as human shields. We saw this in syria on both sides of the conflict. As that area gets smaller and smaller and Coalition Carries out more strikes well see higher. The policy of drone strikes. We know president obama expanded drone strike operations. Theres been some talk President Trump is shifting drone strikes entirely to general mattis. Are we going to see an increase in drone strikes by the Administration Even in the wake of civilian risks. Based on what he said during the campaign, no question. Take a listen. Isis is making a tremendous amount of money because they have certainly oil camps, certain areas of oil they took away. I would bomb the [ bleep ] out of them. I would just bomb those suckers. Thats right. Id blow up the pipes, refinery, every single inch. There would be nothing left. Look, one of the many, many problems with comments like this, rhetoric, it widens the conflict.
