Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election because she was an entitled boor


There is an entitled boor in the White House. A most common man born to wealth otherwise he’d be a squeegee guy at the off ramp of the Queensborough Bridge.

Trumpists sure like to project, don’t they?

RIP Hondo

#17 John Havlicek. Hall of Fame.

God I hated him. My buds and I referred to him as a John Fucking Havlicek!

We hated him because he drove a stake through the hearts of my fellow
Knicks fans too many times to count.

That was respect. He was one of the all time greats.

They figure it doesn't matter whether anybody notices or not. Between the NRA and gerrymandering, they think they are secure - with enough ideologues who hate non-whites to put them over the top, overall, and legislators without principles.

Money to enhanace election security? Block it, but keep claiming that the Dems only win because of election fraud!

It's the American Way, right, Ward?

Congress had allocated $380 million in election security grants in March after intelligence assessments detailed a coordinated and continued effort by Russia to interfere in U.S. elections.

The blocked $250 million would have covered the fiscal year 2019, which starts Oct. 1, just ahead of the midterm elections.

Republicans have argued it is too soon to allocate new money for the following year and want to see how states use the $380 million already set aside for election security efforts


Sensible.

We'll see, Maddy

I do figure Dems may just nominate someone (other than JB) that will be a meal for Trump.  But you never know.

Sensible.

Yeah.  Totally.

Question:  Isn’t it on the benefactor of Russian interference to come out and say publicly “I don’t want the help, its counter to our democratic interests, and I will in no way use or reference material stolen by Russia, or reward their meddling once in office.” 

Instead, Trump looks at Putin the way GaGa looks at Cooper, Kushner lies about the extent of Russian interference (he was at the fucking Trump Tower meeting) and Trump’s campaign manager denies there was any Russian help at all.  Why doesn’t that bother posters like kiidcarter8 and REDSTATEWARD?

It is as good as fact that Russia will again interfere in the 2020 elections, and will do so to Trump and Republican’s benefit.  And whatever steps Facebook and Twitter may take to curb the disinformation they spread (and I don’t have confidence that they will do much) there will be more stolen emails and opposition research, more targeted misinformation, and more chaos sowed in whatever way the Russians can. 

And what if it goes further?  The Mueller Report says there was successful hacking of election systems.  The FBI will be talking to Scott about the successful hacking of at least one precinct in Florida.  What if they get better at it?  What if, in 2020, they manage to shut down precincts on election day, or even change the voting tally? 

Kiidcarter8 hides behind a few hundred million given to states for election security (that’s about $7.6 million per state, if you do the math)   while Federal efforts go backwards and our “President” practically welcomes further interference.

For kiidcarter8 and REDSTATEWARD their opinion of the coming attacks is wrapped up entirely in who the benefactors will be.  Which is understandable, partisan unpatriotic shits that they are.  But the same can obviously be said of our “President.”   And if that isn’t impeachable, I don’t know what is.

Understandable why Trump lies about the effectiveness of his administration, and not at all surprising.  This is someone who makes daily claims about how much wall he has built when he has built zero feet of new wall.  Zero.

But the impeachment debate has nothing to do with how well (or not) he has pursued his policy agenda, which is why the TV ad (How dare they deface my Fox and Friends!) didn't mention it. 

This isn't hard.  You are disloyal to the country , fail to defend our Democracy, and break the law while in office, you shouldn't be President.

I thought she lost because Bernie pushed her over the edge. Bernie wants free schools, I want free schools and open borders. Bernie wants environmental controls I want that and an end to dirty filthy coal mines. HRC loves the Saudis and supports Arab spring. BHO was forced to dump her as SOS after Libya.
