And then there are the other daily horrifically bad policy decisions this administration makes -- presumably for some corporation's profit -- but this is grotesquely stupid and unnecessary:
HHS Plans to Delete 20 Years of Critical Medical Guidelines Next Week
| Quote: | | Experts say the database of carefully curated medical guidelines is one of a kind, used constantly by medical professionals, and on July 16 will ‘go dark’ due to budget cuts. |
| Quote: | The Trump Administration is planning to eliminate a vast trove of medical guidelines that for nearly 20 years has been a critical resource for doctors, researchers and others in the medical community.
Maintained by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality [AHRQ], part of the Department of Health and Human Services, the database is known as the National Guideline Clearinghouse [NGC], and it’s scheduled to “go dark,” in the words of an official there, on July 16.
Medical guidelines like those compiled by AHRQ aren’t something laypeople spend much time thinking about, but experts like Valerie King, a professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Director of Research at the Center for Evidence-based Policy at Oregon Health & Science University, said the NGC is perhaps the most important repository of evidence-based research available.
“Guideline.gov was our go-to source, and there is nothing else like it in the world,” King said, referring to the URL at which the database is hosted, which the agency says receives about 200,000 visitors per month. “It is a singular resource,” King added.
Medical guidelines are best thought of as cheatsheets for the medical field, compiling the latest research in an easy-to use format. When doctors want to know when they should start insulin treatments, or how best to manage an HIV patient in unstable housing — even something as mundane as when to start an older patient on a vitamin D supplement — they look for the relevant guidelines. The documents are published by a myriad of professional and other organizations, and NGC has long been considered among the most comprehensive and reliable repositories in the world. |
| Quote: | | Not even an archived version of the site will remain, according to an official at AHRQ. A report from the Sunlight Foundation’s Web Integrity Project found the agency announced the site’s retirement, as well as that of a related but less trafficked “Quality Measures” site, this Spring. Some of the NGC’s pages are preserved in a third party archive, but no comprehensive backup of the site’s contents or search functions exists. |
This is like going back to the Dark Ages. What the (bleep) is wrong with these people? Do they think they will be personally immune to all disease? Hopefully some do-gooder organization will copy it over to their server and help it live on - if they are allowed. |

I wish the problem was just these people. We have them, and then we have our problems on the Left with people who are perfectly content to let it happen.

GOP political strategist for Bush41/McCain/Kasich:
| Quote: | John Weaver @JWGOP
This needs to be said: Russian interference & the probable conspiracy DID IMPACT the 2016 election. Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant or lying. Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million. Barely won key states to win the EC.
Russian attack & sophisticated actions tied Clinton campaign into knots as right wing & many in mainstream media breathlessly used these emails stolen by Russia (& actually very little news in these emails). Gave Trump talking points & threw him lifeline on more than 1 occasion.
There is anecdotal evidence some voters inclined to support HRC either didn't vote, were pushed to Stein (yet to be investigated) or in some cases threw up their hands & voted Trump. How many? We'll never know, but the election deserves an asterisk for sure.
I believe Russia's activity had much Western sophistication & precise targeting, which leads one to believe a bigger conspiracy. We'll see. But Putin did have his thumb on the scale & Trump knows it. So does everyone else. #AsteriskElection #PutinInvestment |

| Quote: | Judd Legum Verified account @JuddLegum
It's pretty much a standard GOP talking point that Russian hacking had no impact on the outcome of the election
You know who thought it would have an impact?
Donald Trump
He mentioned Wikileaks 164 times in the final month of the campaign |
Trump mentioned Wikileaks 164 times in last month of election, now claims it didn’t impact one voter.
| Quote: | One person who thought Wikileaks and the hacked information could and should have an impact on the result was Donald Trump. In the final month of the campaign Trump mentioned Wikileaks every day and in virtually every public appearance.
Trump mentioned Wikileaks in each presidential debate, which were watched by tens of millions of people.
Trump described the contents of the emails released by Wikileaks as disqualifying Hillary Clinton from the presidency. Trump used Wikileaks as proof to his claims that she was corrupt and the system was corrupt — both the political system and the media. (The media, Trump insisted, would not cover Wikileaks.)
Trump encouraged his supporters to read Wikileaks. He delighted in each new release. He marveled at the damage Wikileaks was doing to her campaign.
Wikileaks, in short, was a core part of Trump’s closing argument against Hillary Clinton.
Trump spoke about the Wikileaks emails at least 164 times from October 10 to election day, saying the word Wikileaks 124 times. That means, on average, Trump discussed Wikileaks more than five times per day. |
And we now know WikiLeaks was the conduit for the Russian GRU hackers to mainstream the hacked info. And he knew Russians were helping him. He was colluding in plain sight the whole time. |

is it possible russian hackers hacked into voting systems and distorted numbers to give trump a win in key states (i.e. Pennsylvania)? |

It's more likely they had a list of likely Clinton voters (from hacking the DNC, campaign analytics and voters rolls) then went in ahead of the election to delete people or change their middle initial or mess with their registration in some other way, so that when they showed up to vote either they couldn't vote or were given a provisional ballot that never got counted. It was different than changing vote totals on election day, but just as effective. In theory. State systems didn't really audit themselves. |

Trump's about to get played big time. He's going against Putin and is so far out of his league it's a shame. Putin's going to stroke Donald's ego. Make him feel important. Get everything he wants. Trump has no idea of what he's in for. I inject checkers vs chess. Who's playing what game????

This is a prime example of blatantly misinforming the public.
The investigation never specifically targeted Trump. That's just where all of the evidence is pointing. |

Don’t kid yourself hide. Trump knows exactly what he is getting into with Putin. They are partners in crime. Not rivals trying to out maneuver each other.

Agreed. Allow a rephrase, The American people are about to get played big time.Listening to the presser that's exactly what happened. He's not giving Russian any responsibility for hacking.

OMG.
Ronald Regan must be rolling in his grave.
I'd roll out this press conference as Exhibit A in any impeachment hearing.

Former CIA Director:
| Quote: | John O. Brennan Verified account @JohnBrennan
Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.” It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you??? |

Brennan has been legally shackled from talking about the investigation
But this is something he can give full candid opinion
