It is 102 degrees here on the central coast of CA today. Yesterday we

set a record high of 102.

Normal temp is in the low 70's. We are six miles from the ocean.

We don't have air cond because we usually never need it.

Our house is well insulated so it is cooler inside if we keep the doors and curtains closed and the fans on.

Sen. Kamala Harris plans to back Medicare-for-all legislation

Sen. Kamala Harris will co-sponsor a Medicare-for-all plan proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), she told Californians at a town hall in Oakland on Wednesday.

The freshman Democratic senator from California has previously said she supports the concept of universal healthcare, but this is the first time she has explicitly said she would join Sanders when he files the bill. The House version of the measure, sponsored by Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.), has 117 sponsors, including 27 California Democratic House members.

I am begining to think that Trump wants to be the 21st century incarnation of someone like Hitler

was.

Trump needs his white supremacists to be his brown shirts. He sees this as his way to escape what ever Mueller has waiting for him.

He is trapped like a rat in a barrel and he is baring his teeth.

What he did yesterday is his way of acting like the wounded animal he is.

Don't put me on your perch, Mr Ward!

- Don't drag me into your gutter!

These people crawled out of a sewer,

Mr Ward!

And maybe the gutter's

where we should be!

At Trump's West Virginia speech tonight, he did that tight lipped chin in the air thing

that Mussolini did. He did it after every piece of red meat he threw to the audience.

Here is a terrible thought. That poster we see of cameo pictures of all

the Presidents will now have Trump on it.

We should stop saying Medicare for all and

single payer in the same sentence as if they are interchangeable ideas.

I have Medicare but I don't have single payer. They are two different things.

Individuals pay for their Medicare coverage.

I had to choose what insurance company to buy my part B, part D and supplemental from.

If Medicare for all is not like my Medicare it isn't Medicare at all.

Single payer is paid for with tax revenue not by the individuals covered like Medicare.

I don't want to refight the primaries. But I have questions

I was here with a different name. I could not use that name because I could not use the email I signed up with after the highjaking in November.

Anyway, I was wondering how much of the things said about Hillary on this board back then may have come from Russian operatives?

It seems now that they were working to get Trump elected even before the Repub primaries. So maybe they were trying to influence the Dem primary.

Could they have used social media in an attempt to get Bernie nominated thinking he would be easier to defeat than Hillary?

Or possibly they were attacking Bernie thinking Hillary was easier to beat seeing Bernie's huge rallies.

I am not trying to stir up the fights that went on back then. They are over and we have a common enemy.

But I felt during the primary that some of the worse things said about Hillary did not come from the hearts of DUers.

I always felt there was some other source for them.

Please understand I am not trying to dredge up the past or to fight those fights again.

Just wondering if others felt there was an outside influence in the Dem primaries. And could it be Russian.

Pence resigns, Repubs replaces him with someone

that they think will pass their agenda, Trump resigns, Pence replacement becomes President.

I think that is what will happen.
