‘Craven dipsh*t’: Internet scolds Trump economic advisor for failing to grasp how insurance works
Donald Trump’s top economic advisor Stephen Moore on Tuesday demonstrated an apparent lack-of-knowledge of just how insurance works, telling CNBC’s John Harwood “people want insurance for their own families, not other peoples.”
Moore was explaining why it’s unfair to have an insurance system where healthy people subsidize sick people.

The Internet on Tuesday was not impressed by Moore’s statement, noting the top Trump advisor appears to not understand what insurance means:

1. The whole point of insurance is broadly-spread risk, no? 2. The line between healthy and sick often vanishes suddenly. https://t.co/eyKjoDqWrD

‘Not supposed to be that way!’ Bitter Trump whines about Senate possibly letting John Bolton testify
President Donald Trump on Monday whined about the Senate potentially letting former national security adviser John Bolton testify during his impeachment trial.
"They didn’t want John Bolton and others in the House," the president wrote on Twitter. "They were in too much of a rush. Now they want them all in the Senate. Not supposed to be that way!"
In reality, the House impeachment investigators tried to get Bolton to testify during their inquiry, but he refused to appear unless he got legal clearance to do so. However, Bolton has now offered to testify before the Senate even though he did not comply with House requests to do the same.

Ex-GOP impeachment manager ripped to shreds on CNN for ‘upside down’ defense of Trump’s conduct
On CNN Monday, two veterans of the impeachment proceedings against President Bill Clinton clashed over whether President Donald Trump was guilty of impeachable offenses.
"My view is that the phrase that the president's lawyers included in their six-page answer over the weekend is absolutely ironclad, perfectly correct," said Bob Barr, a former House impeachment manager against Clinton. "The language in the Constitution says very clearly that the only basis on which a president can be impeached and removed from office is treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. You have to have a crime. And no matter how much rhetoric you put around that to try and get around it, that is a fact, a legal fact, you have to have a crime."
President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Fair Housing Act just days after the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King -- and President Donald Trump's Housing secretary wants to undo that legacy.
The 1968 law hasn't been able to undo the harm from government-sanctioned housing segregation, which still feeds today's wealth and racial inequality, but the Department of Housing and Urban Development wants to remove a protection for black owners who pay unfairly high property taxes, reported the New York Times.
