A story for our times:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/12/politics/melissa-howard-miami-university/index.html

A conservative news outlet finds that a Republican candidate in Florida didn't graduate from a university she claims to have graduated from.

She says she did, so the conservative news outlet spikes the story.

But...The university says it has no record of her graduating, though she did attend for four years.

The candidate posts a picture of herself with her diploma, which the university then points out is an obvious forgery.

The picture is taken down.

The candidate's response to all this?  "Fake news."

Liars and con-men and con-women.

Sounds like she has done fairly well, especially for a non-graduate.

But.............I think its what you learn in those last 3-6 credits before graduation that matters most

heh

Shame on Microsoft by the way for never checking

heh 2

How does the key fact here completely elude you.  Let me boil it down a bit for ya:

WOMAN SEEKING TO BE ELECTED AS TRUSTED PUBLIC SERVANT IS A BIG FAT LIAR.  AND NOT JUST A LIAR, BUT CAUGHT IN AN ACT OF FRAUD, I.E. FORGERY, OF AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT AS TO HER CREDENTIALS. 

Shame on you for ignoring the elephant in the room, and nattering on instead about Microsoft and credit hours.

As though you have any idea how many credits she needed to graduate….

I could care less that a Republican candidate lied (in other words, the sun came up this morning) or even that she took the trouble of having a credible looking diploma forged, fake signatures and all.

My point was that in the face of an obviously credible critique, fully backed by facts that are worthy of a response from a candidate who is 100% beholden to the voters, her response is “Fake News.”

That is what makes this a story for our times.  The party gets its orders from the top.  And you are fine with being governed with crooks and liars who feel they have no obligation to the truth for the people who elect them so long as they keep the brown folk out.

Now she claims she can’t respond to the “fake news” because her husband has had a cardiac event of some sort.

Kid is right.  It was her "campaign consultant" that used the term "fake news."  Howard remains an honest, and solid candidate,  The paradigm of probity and rectitude.

Heh.  You need a big shovel for these guys.


And the Kansas goatfuck continues.....

The governor’s office argued in a legal opinion sent to The Star Monday morning that “Kansas law requires canvassers to look to the intent of the voter” in cases where a poll worker incorrectly tells an unaffiliated voter to cast a provisional ballot, rather than to affiliate and then vote.

“Kansas law requires that provisional ballots cast by unaffiliated voters in a primary election be construed as evidence of voter intent and must be counted,” Brant Laue, the chief legal counsel of the governor’s office, said in the letter.

Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state, has a slim lead, 110 votes, over Colyer in the GOP primary for governor. Roughly 9,000 provisional ballots are spread across the state’s 105 counties. More than 40 percent of those ballots come from Johnson and Sedgwick counties, where Kobach has appointed the top election officials.

After initially resisting calls that he recuse himself from duties overseeing the election, Kobach eventually recused himself last week and named Rucker.

Colyer’s campaign also has alleged that “many Colyer voters had difficulties finding his name on the ballot, were forced to vote on provisional ballots, or were turned away outright for unknown reasons.”

I am with Colyer

And happy to see the Democrat support for the current Republican governor.

...as opposed to yourself who just made up facts not in the article.

A statement from a  spokesman for her campaign comes from her, unless she refutes it.

[NeedsAdjustments]

Here is a link to an article everyone should read, not just pretend to:

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/08/13/stephen-miller-is-an-immigration-hypocrite-i-know-because-im-his-uncle-219351

Not only an outstanding critique of Trump Immigration policy and rhetoric, but goes to the "idea of America" discussion we had last week.

Good to see you putting your Trump University degree to such good use, champ. You must have done really well in Slimeballs & Scumbags 101, and your “No Puppet” class.

Yup a straightforward statement a responsible news source would make preceding a quote from a spokesperson authorized to speak on her behalf.

Read more Real News, kidcarter8, and you’d know that.
