Donald Jr. Finally Relatable: Can’t Wait For His Dad’s Presidency to be Over

Posted by | Jul 19, 2017 | |

According to a friend of the Trump children, Donald Trump Jr., the recent focus of political scrutiny surrounding his meeting with a Russian Attorney, can’t wait for his dad’s presidency to be over. According to the source, a friend of the two Trump sons, Don Jr. is “miserable.” “Don can’t do any deals, because he’ll be overly scrutinized. He just goes to work every day and is miserable.” Just as it was rumored that First Lady Melania Trump did not want her husband to win the presidency and hates the spotlight, sources say the Trump men feel the same...

Florida Threatens to Fire Scientists Who Try to Warn About Global Warming

Posted by | Jul 18, 2017 | |

An organization of scientists is seeking to warn Florida legislators about the need to take increased action to protect the Florida Everglades from continued global warming effects. Rather than take that advice and work to protect a vulnerable ecosystem, the state is instead threatening to cut ties with the scientists altogether. Scientists for National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine gave their report to congress concerning the everglades and an ongoing effort by the federal government to clean up pollution in a portion of the park. The River of Grass, a well-known river that runs through the everglades, has...

$5 Billion in Student Loan Debt May Be Erased Because of Missing Paperwork

Thanks to incomplete paperwork, five billion dollars of student loan debt may be technically erased. It sounds awfully similar to a major plot point from tech psy-fi show “Mr. Robot,” but for tens of thousands of Americans who have student loan debt, it may soon be a reality.

Knowing that they cannot offer a health care bill which will please Republicans while also giving the American people actual coverage, Republican leadership are now opting to focus exclusively on repealing Obamacare, with the plan to replace it at a later date. In response to the failure of their most recent healthcare draft, which was opposed by two additional Senators on Monday, Republicans are hoping to simply repeal the current health care bill without having a replacement ready to go.

Trump Furious After Some Senate Republicans Say No to Malignant Healthcare Plan

Posted by | Jul 18, 2017 | |

On Monday evening, the Republicans last best hope of repealing Obamacare and replacing it with something a bit less… health-care-y failed as two Republican Senators announced they would not support the current bill. In response, President Trump showed his anger online via Twitter as he always does, managing to point the finger of blame at Democrats rather than his two disloyal Republicans. The Senate must go to a 51 vote majority instead of current 60 votes. Even parts of full Repeal need 60. 8 Dems control Senate. Crazy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2017 On Monday, Mike...
