I'm sure the Globe has something to say, never mind the mayor or Seattle.
Btw, GE is a mess so they are going to need all that tax loot.
Great deal, huh?
Where was she during the eight years of neglect under Obama?
One death is an outrage, scores due to rescheduling so bureaucrats could collect raises and bonuses are ignored as the VA clunks along.
And you wonder why I don't trust this government to deliver single-payer health care? Never mind the neglect in the face of the Niger scandal that has recently engulfed the pre$$.

Yeah, time to golfing with a hero!
The last front page story is something I do not understand.

The other day there was a front page story regarding the torture chambers of Massachusetts and how the State Senate was going to fix them (I know you are thinking how can deep-blue, liberal Democrat Massachusetts have torture chambers but it turns out the compa$$ion here only extends to corporations and other business interests).
Well, today we find out on page 3 that the bill would let drug dealers out of prison early (it is "legally kosher" for them to meddle with judicial sentencing, I am told). Not just pot peddlers, but cocaine and meth dealers. All to save $4 to $8 million dollars (so they can give it to Amazon?).
What's next, legalizing pedophilia?
Thank God there is a U.N., huh?
Maybe the kids can protest that next time.

Not only is Niger Trump's Benghazi as I said yesterday, it is now being used to expand the wars into western Africa, with the latest twist being the next 9/11 coming from there in the reedited and rewritten NYT pos. Between Graham and the MI-5 guy earlier this week, it now appears that horrific plane crashes will be presented to the public as a wave of Islamic terrorism engulfs the globe -- all so the GWOT can be advanced yet again and the application of tyranny in the "free" West will go unopposed. Vegas was a lead-in.

"Pollution kills more people each year than all war and violence in the world, and three times more than HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined, according to a new in-depth study by an international team of researchers. Most of those deaths occur in poor and developing countries, from such pollution sources as dirty air in India and China, tainted water in sub-Saharan Africa, and toxic mining and smelter operations in South America....."
That's my World lead, and just ignore the impact of the thousands of bombs dropped by the US war machine in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"The frontier era of the Internet appears to be coming to a close at last, thanks in part to a wily veteran of the KGB. By spreading fake new stories and purchasing a few hundred thousand bucks of ads through online giants Facebook and Google, Russian president Vladimir Putin not only undermined the credibility of a bitter US election. He also made it easier to think the once-unthinkable — that the Internet needs the federal government to keep itself honest. Applying a light touch to the Internet has paid off handsomely for the US, and I hate to see the Feds increasing the pressure. But when it’s a choice between the US Congress or Russian intelligence, that seems an easy call....."
His attitude does not surprise me at all. Such faith in the veracity of the lying U.S. government. The naivete of innocence is so refreshing.
Apparently, the government gestapos at Facebook are not enough; the Senate wants them codified in law so it can CENSOR the Internet. All over a few thousand dollars worth of ads that didn't influence anyone in a campaign where billions were spent, ads that were about as effective as FDA warnings regarding drug side effects.

Technology companies also posted big gains, helping to drive the Nasdaq composite to a record high. Investors drew encouragement from the Senate’s passage of a budget bill that is expected to ease the path for the White House’s tax cut proposal....."
They snuck that through without much reporting, 'eh?
"Twitter users are speculating that the rise could be driven by everything from a cash shortage in Zimbabwe to an increase in margin trading. If one thing is for sure, it’s that speculation has a part to play in the top digital token’s latest surge. The push higher comes just three days after bitcoin suffered its biggest one-day drop in a month on rising concern that regulators are increasingly targeting digital currencies. It’s added almost $500 in value in the past two days alone while reaching a record high. The end-of-week rally is another sign that the threat of oversight won’t damp enthusiasm for digital currencies. Bitcoin was quick to shrug off China’s move to tighten its grip....."
Looks like the next wave of banker control is bitcoin.
Always planning ahead are those guys.

"Draft GOP bill seeks more constraints on Iran’s nuclear program" by Richard Lardner Associated Press October 20, 2017
WASHINGTON — US sanctions against Iran automatically would kick in if Tehran violates new constraints, according to a draft Republican bill sought by President Trump as he tries to unravel the landmark 2015 international accord to prevent Iran from assembling an arsenal of atomic weapons.
Some people were wondering the same thing as was I.
Iran isn't "assembling an arsenal of atomic weapons." Inspections have confirmed it.
That the way you want to start it off, AP?
The draft bill, crafted by Senators Bob Corker of Tennessee and Tom Cotton of Arkansas with input from the Trump administration, wouldn’t necessarily violate the Iran nuclear deal if passed into law.
So the spat meant nothing, huh?
Just the smoke, sound, and fury of the ma$$ media illusion, 'eh?
But the measure could still end up derailing the agreement by holding Iran to a series of requirements not previously agreed to when the deal was forged by the United States and other world powers two years ago.
You have to love the word parsing when it comes to the Jewi$h war propaganda that passes for my pre$$.
So the illegal law Congre$$ is considering will not violate the deal if passed, but could "still end up derailing the agreement by holding Iran to a series of requirements not previously agreed to when the deal was forged."
That SURE LOOKS LIKE it would VIOLATE the DEAL to me!
So when does Trump give the order to bomb Korea (Tillerson working “until the first bomb drops” and why was that removed)?
Trump also is insisting that other countries that are parties to the accord repair a series of deficiencies and he threatened last week to pull the United States out of the agreement if the changes aren’t made.
You read sign language, Don, because that is the response you are going to get.
Trump alone cannot actually terminate the accord, but withdrawing the United States would render the deal virtually meaningless.....
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
In whose eyes?
You know what is meaningless these days?
--more--"
Yup!
