Mind is a Al Capone's steel trap.Imagine being outsmarted by Geraldo Rivera and falling into his trap, a trap with a neon sign above it and an arrow pointing to it, because lets face it, Geraldo is no rocket surgeon.

Nothing suspicious about this.Trump says he might keep others from listening in on calls
- Corruption aside, basically as the government purges out experts and knowledgeable people and walls of information from actual policy makers and implementers we get worse and worse and more ineffectual as a nation.
Which states? Red states would probably just go along with it.Really? I think the judiciary and state and local legislatures would have something to say about that.
I think in order for an election to even be contested, you'd have to win states heretofore known as light blue. MI, PA, sometimes WI, and VA come immediately to mind. The structure in place in those states is derived from thirty or forty years of contested party victories. I'm sure they can handle something like this.Which states? Red states would probably just go along with it.
SID, maybe clean up the syntax. Who says what to whom?The NSA to the President actually says, golly there's no need for his own NSC to know #### about the President's actual conduct of foreign policy.
I’d like to believe you’re correct but how do you explain Mitch’s refusals to bring forward the bills to protect the election? Or not using the money allotted to fight Russian interference? The NYT just put out an article about the Barr-Durham investigation and how it’s focusing on undermining the intelligence conclusion that Russia was responsible for the 2016 interference.Really? I think the judiciary and state and local legislatures would have something to say about that.
This is the Trump model. Always has been (from what I have read). He is the sole decision maker and the only one who matters.Trump says he might keep others from listening in on calls

I actually think I'm thoroughly disgusted with how we're handling the election compared to last time given what we know we know. I don't have any explanation for Mitch's refusals to bring the bills to a vote. I think it's extremely short-sighted and deleterious to our democracy, but I don't think they can outright steal votes as easily as was posited.I’d like to believe you’re correct but how do you explain Mitch’s refusals to bring forward the bills to protect the election?

If in 2016 someone claimed any of these things would happen, you’d be written off fear-mongering liberal. I sure hope that it won’t happen but if you were making a plan to rig an election (or allow someone else to) how many steps of that plan are already happening?
I thought they were already doing this and White House staffers jokingly referred to it as the "Vindman Rule."Trump says he might keep others from listening in on calls

Identity theft.Apropos of nothing. I have lived at the same address for 21 years now. I registered to vote from that address within a week of moving in. I have voted every election since then. I get mail ballots sent there and I pay property taxes to the same Clerk and Recorder who is responsible for voter registration and for conducting the elections. I am known to live at my address and to vote therefrom.
today I opened a piece of mail from the Clerk and Recorder. She states that I need to update my voter registration me having just moved. What? Some honest glitch in the system?
Ha....county in NC my mom lives in (been there for 45+years...same house) had to reregister to vote. The minimum wage person answering the phones suggested they purgerd her and my father assuming no one lives in the same place for that longApropos of nothing.

We've seen your posts here at FBGs. We don't need people like you voting in our elections.Apropos of nothing. I have lived at the same address for 21 years now.

Absolutely.Are we to the point where they could outright cheat in the election (change votes, etc) with no consequences?
1. The judiciary has had lots to say already. Without enforcement, it's meaningless.Really? I think the judiciary and state and local legislatures would have something to say about that.
I think we might be in agreement again. Voting machines, in my mind, are an awful idea and always have been. It's a shame we're not rectifying the situation.2. Doesn't seem to have moved the legislature in Tennessee so much.
It seems to me less malfeasance than incompetence and sampling. For example, the audit in the article you linked to. That strikes me as statistically sound but awfully prone to human error.Or Georgia. Or Ohio, when a bunch of votes were "lost". It's not shocking when there are massive discrepancies between numbers of people who vote and numbers of votes cast in a precinct anymore. It happens somewhere basically every election cycle.
As long as they present an explanation - it doesn't even have to be reasonable - they'll get away with it.
You'd imagine. Frankly, if you're overseeing a voting precinct and it can be proven that your precinct "lost" 1/4 of its votes, your entire staff should be immediately fired and there should be fines or perhaps jail time/probation for someone.It seems to me less malfeasance than incompetence and sampling. For example, the audit in the article you linked to. That strikes me as statistically sound but awfully prone to human error.
I do agree that the judiciary and the oversight committees need to be strengthened. Not sure what the problem with that is. Much like vets and health care, this seems like a bipartisan issue nonpareil.
An absolute shocker! Trump lying? No way, never saw this coming.
I hope they appease Trump and change them to reflect receiving 90% of the vote.Absolutely.Are we to the point where they could outright cheat in the election (change votes, etc) with no consequences?

sounds like Trump learned his lesson from impeachment: don't get caught.Trump says he might keep others from listening in on calls

DW, congratulations on your wife having octoputlets last year.

Full article.As the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump drew to a close in Washington earlier this month, federal prosecutors in New York contacted witnesses and sought to collect additional documents in an investigation related to Trump’s personal attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani, according to people familiar with their activities.
The recent steps — including an interview with a witness last week — indicate that the probe involving Giuliani and two of his former associates is moving forward, even as the Justice Department has set up a process to evaluate claims Giuliani is making about alleged wrongdoing in Ukraine related to former vice president Joe Biden.
Attorney General William P. Barr said this week that the department had established an “intake process” to accept information about Biden gathered by the president’s personal attorney. Officials confirmed Giuliani’s tips are being routed to the U.S. attorney’s office in Pittsburgh.
At the same time, the U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York — which Giuliani led in the 1980s — appears to be continuing its wide-ranging investigation of his activities and those of his former associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, including their efforts in Ukraine.
There's also some decently credible theories that they are alien.....The good news is that they are highly intelligent. Probably get scholarships.Damn cephalopods. That explains all the hickies.
Never heard of such a theory.There's also some decently credible theories that they are alien.....
This article refutes the theories (and I tend to agree) but google “cephalopods alien” and some interesting stuff comes upNever heard of such a theory.
If he loses in november they'll all forget he even existed, let alone that they supported himIt just doesn't matter. However many times he lies or obstructs justice or grifts or whatever - his supporters never lose the belief in him. Very strange.
Just got done reading this on politico. Definitely crosses the threat line.
Miscarriage of justice--the guy was clearly not talking about Zaid when he said "you", he was talking about traitors. And "we" didn't mean him, it meant the United States. He was merely being patriotic. He can't help it if Zaid misinterpreted the words. The email was perfect. Pardon coming soon.Just got done reading this on politico. Definitely crosses the threat line.
“All traitors must die miserable deaths,” reads the email to Zaid that was sent on November 7. “Those that represent traitors shall meet the same fate. We will hunt you down and bleed you out like the pigs you are. We have nothing but time, and you are running out of it. Keep looking over your shoulder. We know who you are, where you live, and who you associate with. We are all strangers in a crowd to you.”
