View Poll Results: Who did you vote for in this election?
Also in her speech didn't she encourage he supporters to express their disappointment - she didn't actually say go crazy but ..... We've got rioting ??
Sky News are reporting that she's offered her services to the Trump government if they want her !!!
I'll be very disappointed in Trump of he does take her on in some capacity ...
I want to see her squirming in the courts as she's sent down .. - hopefully the case will be televised
In my opinion, neither her nor Bill need to EVER be in a position of influence ever again. After Obama has left office and no longer able to issue a presidential pardon, she needs to be properly investigated by a bonafide impartial prosecutor to get the truth out. No media spins, no favors called to get her off the hook, just the TRUTH, please. Then let the cards on the table determine her fate.
And speaking of a presidential pardon, I read somewhere that a president of the USA can actually grant a blanket pardon BEFORE official charges are made. Talk about adding insult to injury from the departing Obama administration!
And speaking of Trump, I heard mention of a "100 day plan" to make America great again, so I looked it up.
Quote:
What follows is my 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again. It is a contract between myself and the American voter — and begins with restoring honesty, accountability and change to Washington
Therefore, on the first day of my term of office, my administration will immediately pursue the following six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:
* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;
* SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);
* THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;
* FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;
FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;
* SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers:
* FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205
* SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
* THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator
* FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately
* FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
* SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward
* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure
Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:
* FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama
* SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States
* THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities
* FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back
* FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.
Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:
Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.
End The Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.
School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.
Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values
Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.
On November 8th, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our economy, security to our communities, and honesty to our government.
This is my pledge to you.
And if we follow these steps, we will once more have a government of, by and for the people.
Can't say I agree with everything on that list, but heck, not bad if he can actually pull it off. So we shall see...
Although Trump's already walking back his promises. He was asked about his promise to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton (Seriously, how many times does one person need to be investigated for the same thing?) and he said he hasn't thought about it. He says he plans to keep parts of Obamacare, like mandating coverage for pre-existing conditions, and is non-specific about the parts he won't keep (The new language makes me think it's not going anywhere now).
And best of all, he's filling his cabinet with all the establishment folk that his supporters railed against.
So I dunno what you guys will make of that, but I'm not surprised we're only four days from the election and he's trying to walk his promises back.

Keep us posted with any updates please .
As regards the Obama plan ......it kinda makes sense to adapt and alter it rather than just start afresh tbh
There was a head of a clinic interviewed yesterday and she said that the Obaba system was far from perfect and that it created a a many problems as it solved so it's clearly got to change ...?
I don't know anyone who thinks Obamacare couldn't stand fixing. How to fix it is the big question. It solved one big problem and that was pre existing conditions. Too many people could not get insured. I hope the problems get fixed but sadly the politicians are in the pocket of the healthcare industry which is all about extreme profit and not about healthcare in my opinion.

Don't get me started on the healthcare industry !!
I was reading something the other day that suggested that some of the largest breakfast cereal manufacturers who lace their products with sugars and hidden sugars are creating hundreds of thousands type 2 diabetics worldwide ARE at the same time investing in treatments for Diabetes ..... So they're apparently making money CREATING diabetics and then making even more money helping them manage their disease ..
