They haven’t spelled out which programs they would cut but it’s not hard to guess – they would be the ones supported by Democrats. Sad!

Mercer helped fund anti-Muslim ads in the 2016 election
Right-wingers always blame everything liberal on George Soros. I think they don’t believe anyone could protest against their ideas unless someone paid them to do it.
They don’t talk about the money poured into their side by wealthy donors. Robert Mercer probably spent over $30 million on the 2016 election. We now know that he contributed to a group that spent $5 million on anti-Muslim ads and that the group “worked with Facebook and Google ad sales teams to optimize the reach of the ads.”
Sad!

Russia may have used the NRA to help elect Trump
How can we discuss issues when the Republican party chairwoman acts like this?
This is truly disgusting.
Only 38% of Republicans see Russia as a threat
This article has polling information on how Democrats and Republicans view Russia.
Only 38% of Republicans see Russia as a threat. What part of meddling in elections, poisoning people and hacking the power grid don’t they understand? 58% of Republicans saw Russia as a threat as recently as 2015 but they have been brainwashed by their Russian stooge leader Trump. Since 2015, the percentage of Republicans who view Putin favorably has more than doubled. Sad!

Citizens United

The Koch brothers (extreme conservatives) plan to spend $400 million on the 2018 midterm election. We need to get big money out of the elections (on both sides)! Sad!
Satire: God tells Michele Bachmann not to run for the Senate (on a billboard)
Congressional cowardice
This is a good column on why the Congressional Republicans won’t restrain Trump. I still think there’s a good chance Trump will fire Mueller. Congress could prevent it by passing a law….but they won’t.
It’s hypocritical to be concerned about NFL players and politics but ignore NFL owners actions.
This is an excellent column by Jemele Hill. Bucs owner Ed Glazer recently hosted a Trump fundraiser. As Hill states “The political motives of players always are under scrutiny. The owners? Almost never.”
Sad!
