It’s NICOLE SANDLER, still guest hosting the BradCast for a few more days. Brad and Desi will be back soon, I promise.

There’s so much news breaking that today, I try to catch up on the big stories: Turkey’s invasion of Syria where they’ll wipe out our allies, the Kurds, and are doing it with Donald Trump’s blessing. And the Republicans blockade of Democrats working on the impeachment inquiry.

My guest today is DR. STEFFIE WOOLHANDLER, co-author of an article titled The ‘Public Option’ on Health Care Is a Poison Pill, who explains that not all of the Democratic presidential candidates Medicare for All plans are actually Medicare for All!…

    A year before the 2020 presidential elections, only half of Americans say they believe the vote will be conducted openly and fairly, according to a new survey that reveals a growing mistrust in the U.S. electoral system.” (The Hill)

    Re: Voting Integrity.

    The Democratic Party has flouted the Russian cyber-threat to our elections for several years now.

    But apparently, the California Democratic Party didn’t get the memo, or something.

    Under CA Sec of State Alex Padilla, the CA state Democrats are installing UNverifiable and totally hackable, computerized touch-screen voting machines all over the state for 2020.

    Judging from what the Democrats and their media proxies like Rachel Maddow have been loudly claiming about the Russian cyber-threat, I can only conclude the Russians must be licking their chops at the prospect of CA going all-electronic in its voting.

    From Forbes, check this out:

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/za...w6UmI2NYBw1M8U

    Alex Padilla and LA county Registrar Dean Logan need to read that article, and then explain to Californians, WHY THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO THESE VULNERABLE TOUCH-SCREEN MACNINES??

    Come now, DonL! If the party in control of california was the Republicans, they would be doing the same thing for the same reason: they have a lock on the state and don’t want to lose it.
    We don’t have Single Payer in CA because of Democrats. We aren’t going to get Net Neutrality once the providers hand out the bribes – er, campaign contributions to those members of the CA Legislature who control the issue. The Legislators are considering offers to open up the entire state to fracking as Jerry Brown allowed in Kern County. And so much more. Allowing the voters to have honest elections would only interfere with the gravy train.
    Yes, the Republicans are demonstrably worse, but the Democrats appear to be hell-bound to end up in the exact same place for the same reasons. It will just take them longer since they take the time to pretend to care about our issues before they betray us.

    The Don @ #3,

    Is Moscow Mitch a democrat now?

    He has killed House Bills designed to thwart Pootie Poot’s invasion of American internet space with corrupt lies.

    The republican chaired Senate Intelligence Committee report indicates that Pootie Poot did the corrupt deeds in response to The Stable Genius’s “great wisdom” (“Russher if your listening”) and invaded our internet space.

    Rudy Poot’s gang members were caught at the airport with one way tickets to commie town after orchestrating fake contributions to The Stable (Horse’s Ass) fake campaign (and charged with election law violations – felonies).

    A federal court rejected the Horse Stable Genius’ (Horse’s Ass) claim of being the chosen one and full of immunity against American laws, calling his ‘legal’ arguments repugnant to American Democratic ideals.

    I think Moscow Mitch is still a republican, still a psychopath, and still a liar.
