This is a comment from a voter from Broward county:

" I went to vote on the first day of early voting in Broward County and the person checking me in told me TWICE that the signature I just wrote on the pad did not match the one on my DL. I kindly asked her to show me the signature I have on the DL and realized it's a scribble because of the horrible pads they use at the DMV. I told her to give me the license back so that I could look at it and replicate it on the pad. It's absurd that this happens and it's a reason for rejection! I was right there, my full name, address, AND picture clearly showing it was me voting, and yet, I had to reset the pad and sign THREE times before I was allowed to cast my ballot! I hope they fight like hell for the right and voices of our fellow American to be counted!"

The Leftist govt in Melb Vic state can't/won't even say "African gangs" and "Islamic terrorists", let alone say "African Islamic terrorists".

So there'll just be more of the same [violet home invasions, terrorist slaughter-stabbings etc] in Melb/Vic until the people there stop electing Leftist govts.

Would've been 'lovely' if those gas bottles in the terrorist's truck had exploded, not.

I had someone actually try to argue that the constitution didn't SPECIFY the AG as a principal officer of the USA, therefore Congress could revoke that status.   And,  yes,  skip the advise and consent stuff,  the AG then being an inferior officer (see my excerpt from Article 2...)


Quote
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.   

Nope,  don't think there's any way to construe the AG as an inferior officer.   (not that Whittaker wouldn't be grossly inferior,  Heh)

He's met with Whitaker more than a dozen times, but claims not to know him.

He isn't even bothering to try to make his lies close to believable!

If Trump put up Gowdy or Graham he would be grilled on that.

Other than Trump is a serial liar, and will say almost anything, as he has no demonstrated ability to function as society demands most of us to function.

Both those guys are probably smart enough to understand what happened to John Mitchell, a former AG who was asked to run a cover-up.

This week the Health and Human Services Department cleaned up ObamaCare’s dreadful trampling  of the religious rights of the Little Sisters of the Poor.
HHS finalized new rules granting a broad religious exemption from the contraceptive mandate.

Little Sisters prevailed after court battles all the way to SCOTUS and won relief from Obama’s crushing fines.

Should be a lesson to the left that the little person IS treated with respect that the Constitution requires.

Plus the FBI isn’t holding enough evidence against those guys for trump to consider them good candidates.

Somebody got something on Graham, his 180 spin on Trump should be a feature on Dancing with the Stars.

Man, I’ve not slept this well in years.

Trump is in panic mode (Hitler in the bunker) and he is lashing out at the one group who has never been afraid of his bluster. Black women. The base of the Democratic Party.

https://www.stltoday.com/news/national/govt-and-politics/toobin-says-racial-dimension-to-trump-s-attacks-on-black/article_315f2e59-8419-5474-aee9-24a56a7a76c3.html

He is enraged and afraid. He’s not used to this, for the first time in his life he’s not getting away with shit.

This is a dangerous time... I’m afraid he won’t go quietly and the GOP Senate, federal judiciary and SCOTUS could actually back him up in a last ditch effort to stem the swelling tides of brown people from within and without.
