Wisconsin - no ballots after 11/3

When your electoral strategy depends on fewer people voting it means you know your policies suck for most people.

There has been NO such strategy.
Well, maybe you could make a case for the dems nominating Hillary.

Why are you so afraid of democracy?

I wonder if Red would have been outraged if the Wolverines had attacked the Ohio state governor, rather than engage in an attempted intra-state kidnapping?

I think it would only bother red if they went after Ryan Day.

Dr Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, said the unveiling of President Donald Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court was a "superspreader event".

The most anti-scientific president in history? Even in the 19th century they followed the advice of their chosen experts.

Trump is getting some kind of medical examination on TV.

When is due?

Who knocked him up?

You need to watch "Rosemary's Baby" again.

Now that is a non-sequitur!

But yes, Lindsey, ample reason to vote blue.

Wow.   Lindsey has become Jaime's most effective campaign operative.   That comment and "keep the tape" are nice early Xmas presents.

  Extensive recordings and surveillance described in the court papers show how deeply the FBI had infiltrated the alleged plotters – sometimes with more than one informant or undercover operative at the same event. Investigators were inside encrypted chats where the suspects allegedly communicated in code, using "baker" and a "cake" in reference to an explosives provider and a bomb. They were along for a car ride to case the vacation home where the suspects allegedly planned to kidnap the governor and spirit her to Wisconsin for a "trial."

In June, at a meeting site in Grand Rapids, Mich., court documents said, the suspects entered a basement through a trapdoor hidden by a rug. Once inside, the men were ordered to turn over their cellphones, which were placed in a box and taken upstairs as a security precaution. But one of the people present was an informant wearing a device.

Does this kind of news report help the battle against them or hinder it? Did we really want to let them know how deeply they are infiltrated?

I can see some advantages to it - getting them to distrust each other more, making recruitment harder, among others. But I can see major risks from it, as well.

Meanwhile, where is AG Barr and the fight against sedition?!

Apparently, it is only left wing activists who commit sedition. People who expressly are trying to overthrow parts of the US government aren't seditionists.

Last month, Barr demanded that federal and state prosecutors vigorously charge riot-related defendants with the rarely-used sedition law, that would make it a crime to conspire to overthrow the government. None of the defendants in Thursday's operation were charged with sedition.

Among other things, a federal criminal complaint says the alleged scheme included plans to overthrow several state governments that the suspects "believe are violating the US Constitution," including the government of Michigan and Whitmer.

Come on Josh. What's an attempted coup among friends?
