"One of President Donald Trump's newest appointees is a registered agent of Saudi Arabia earning hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobby on the kingdom's behalf, according to U.S. Department of Justice records reviewed by the Center for Public Integrity.

Since January, the Saudi Arabian foreign ministry has paid longtime Republican lobbyist Richard Hohlt about $430,000 in exchange for "advice on legislative and public affairs strategies."

Trump's decision to appoint a registered foreign agent to the President's Commission on White House Fellowships clashes with the president's vow to clean up Washington and limit the influence of special interests.

Trump singled out lobbyists for foreign governments for special criticism, saying they shouldn't be permitted to contribute to political campaigns. Hohlt is himself a Trump donor, though his contributions came before he registered to represent Saudi Arabia."

If you have influence please tell him to put down the Enquirer and stop visiting the hard al right sites or the Russian site., and read the news like.....

"The Washington Post recently reported that Trump’s budget slashes funding for a wide array of low-income housing programs, the one notable exception being a program that his own firm benefits from. "

Donald Trump Is a Crook

Oh I forgot, only your news sources are legit...

I am sure Trump singled out one program, because that is the only program that he would benefit from. Possibly it was the only program he believed was helping the low income...no that could not be possible, Trump is evil. Just like Obamma, Bush II, Clinton, Bush I...and every other president you have attacked for the "last 50 years in the political arena".

I do feel sorry for your wife. She is probably not allowed to read anything you have not deemed as "accurate". You probably require her to wear blinders to the supermarket, you don't want her reading anything you have not bolded and added red font.

You have to admit though, that it's hard to tell where RubiTHECon gets his stuff...given that he NEVER provides a link to it.

Hey dummy, how do you think I know where the source is of Rubicons stuff ????

I read BOTH SIDES EVERY DAY...I read the extreme left and right and the MSM that you say lies so much.

Basically, the MSM is pretty much right on target. If it makes no sense to me, I can always visit the government side to actually read proposals.

How do I know...let me tell you what Rubicon reads, do not know if exclusive but certainly he reads ZEROHEDGE, the Russian based web site, he reads all the ALT right sites, I am betting although cannot say for sure but I think Alex Jones....not sure but he oft times promotes the same message. He also reads the WSJ but seems to hone in on certain journalists there.

If you dont read both sides how can you decide how you feel ?

Example, last night Trump spoke of HIS legislation to not allow any immigrants to collect any government subs until they have been here for FIVE YEARS. He presented it as if he invented that. Actually, that law has been in existence since 1996...has been downgraded but still exists and he is simply going to heft it back up, BUT NOT as he presents,,,,,not his idea !

Point here is that if you go to a left leaning site, they will say that Trump is saying he is passing a law that already exists. If you go to a right leaning site, they will present it as HIS idea and make no mention of the existing law.

Fact is, he is suggesting a modification of an existing law.

Why he cannot be like other Presidents and just tell us the truth....that would be just great.

It won't be voted on tomorrow. It will be late next week. There will be a whole 20 hours of discussion on the bill. What ever happened to the talk about phase 2, and phase 3 of the Republican plan? They are not going to kick people off right away. They are going to wait, so it doesn't affect their majorities in both Houses. The biggest joke is they are blaming the Democrats for not voting for this plan. These Republicans will NEVER take responsiblity for what they did during the Obama years. However, they have no problem for blaming him for everything, or take credit for things started during his administration that are coming to light now.

They elected a pathological liar in Trump, and clap everytime he tells a bold face lie. When the press points out his lies with real facts, they are the ones accused of lying. we are living in an upside down world. Stupidity is appalued, and common sense is given the finger.

I don't shop for pants at WalMart. I am not sure you understand much of anything. Let me try to explain it to you.
This proposal to repeal and replace Obama Care is driven and controlled by one man, that man is Mitch McConnell. The same man who stood before the cameras the second week of Obama becoming President and saying " we will oppose every proposal, and every bill that Obama puts forth. Additionally, I would guess that you have no clue that America's health care cost is one sixth of our entire budget.

And thanks to ObieCare, it has cost us ALL a heck of a lot more. Most have doubled in the last 8 years. Time to ditch ObieCare regardless of a new bill to replace it. I am not interested in letting the gov run any business. All the Dems care about is the name, not the people. Obiecare gave more lazy health care at the expense of everyone else. Millions lost their insurance an then were mandated to purchase Obiecare at a huge increase in cost. Folks that did NOT want health insurance because they pay with cash, were forced to purchase insurance. UNCONSTITUTIONAL, regardless of how they twist it. The average income person now pays more for premiums and has to wait for ten grand of cost they have to pay in deductibles before the insurance pays ANYTHING. If I did not have my VERY expensive insurance, I would rather pay the fine than pay about $15K-$20K per year for insurance before they pay a dime. Thanks Democrats, for nothing. OBiecare's purpose was to fail so that the socialist democrats could socialize health care and run it through the gov.

So, premiums have doubled. In what world, do you in?
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/27/avera...tudy-says.html

2009 to 2014 individual premiums increase under $400. for the entire five years. The reason was more people were insured. If you didn't have insurance, you paid a fine. You get rid of the fine, and young healthy people will drop insurance.

The Republicans are keeping two items that insurance companies don't like children under 25, and preexisting conditions. If they keep these, and lose enrollment, what do you think is going to happen to rates? The rates are going to skyrocket. But don't worry, the Republicans will blame Obama, and the Democrats. That and cut taxes for the 1% are the only things that they know how to do. you have to give it to them. They are very good at that.

There will be no public hearings on the bill, there will be no debating of the bill which affects one sixth of our economy and 24 million who will likely lose their present insurance. It is likely that McConnell will release the contents of the bill this Thursday, and the Senate will only have hours to review the most complex program ever before voting on Friday !!!. Republicans you are an outrage and yes you do scare me.

Frightening that a small group of white men will control the destiny of our country. Led by a fool for a President. Even fellow Republicans don't agree on the new bil, what little they know of it. By landslide margins, the public wants Trump and Congress to keep and improve the existing law rather than try to replace it.

Yes, I am worried that I have health insurance and damn doctor and hospital won't accept insurances cause they are not getting kick backs. You would think the first damn thing career politicians would do done was outlaw insurance discrimination. But, the lobbist are deep in the career carpetbaggers pockets, but, the same old story career lying, two face carpetbagging politicians lining they're pockets and shafting the voters that too stupid to vote them out. We will never have affordable health insurance with the current corrupt system in place. NEVER!

Try real life instead of your second hand cr@p. Are you going to also deny that there are many states that have one or NO insurance still in the Obiecare pool, providing insurance for "ALL?" Get real. Are you going to deny that some states like Alaska and Arizona insurance has doubled?

When Obiecare fails, who are you going to blame, the Republicans? Obiecare was meant to fail and people like you are to blame for being in denial.

So, you have no problem ignoring reports based upon facts. You call them second hand. What am I suppose to do go out ask every insurance company what their rates have been in the past ten years?

You don't the difference between insurance provided by your employer, and the individual market.

You are spitting out typical Republican nonsense. Take two states THAT ARE NOT INDICTIVE of the rest of the country but try to say what is happening to them is happening nationwide. That only works when people are too stupid to see what they are doing, and accept everything they say as facts.

Insurance companies want certainty. Republican for the last eight years have been making sure that certainty is the last thing insurance companies will get.

The Republican plan is a giant tax cut for the rich. Republicans don't want to help people that don't vote for them. If a poor sick person dies, great. One less vote that they have to worry about.

Changes should be made to the ACA. That is the last thing Republicans want. If the ACA fails, you damn right is was because of the Republicans and their inability to work with Democrats on just about anything.

I KNEW IT! It never fails, the leftards always have an excuse. I bet you also feel that Bush is behind everything wrong with the losers in the democrat party. Does this mean that since the Democrats refuse to work with the Repubicans on the new healt care bill, it will be their fault if it does not get passed?

Here, let me help you convince us.
