He was on earlier on CNN with Chris Cuomo and stated that he would recuse himself. Not sure he really wanted to, but he will in the morning. Or so he says.

Mother Jones..
“The Trump administration tried to deport a mother and daughter and put them on a plane to El Salvador. A federal judge just ordered them to turn the plane around. bit.ly”
Still deciding their fait in court but trump’s stooges just decided to deport them anyhow. You have to wonder how far trump is going to drake this country down before we get him out of office.
Yes I know this story was posted on this thread earlier but I just can’t believe we have sunk to this level.

This Space Force crap reminds of Reagan's Strategic Defense Intiative (Stars Wars) and that was such a rousing success. It does, doesn't it? But give Reagan credit, Star Wars was a major contributing factor in breaking up the Soviet Union. Trying to catch up, the Soviets ran the country into the ground with their military spending.

On the original tweeter's Ale's post -- election results are measurements and contain inherent error. It is impossible to not have mistakes. Hand counting paper ballots? Still full of error and mistakes. That said, the person in charge of election counting doesn't get to count his own election results -- I'm glad to see he eventually recused himself.

Still full of error and mistakes. Yeah. Ale has apparently never lived in a country that had a "hanging chad" moment or that experienced stuffed ballot boxes or ballots gone missing. Electronic systems were put into place to prevent some of these issues, but of course, they're prone to hacking. Ale's point about automatically registering everyone to vote is a great one. I'm not sure how that would work, exactly, but it shouldn't be the onerous process it is now to get and stay on the voter rolls.

Yes - there are ALWAYS errors - which is what make Kobach such a hypocrite for calling out some people's old voting records as "fraud". But that's another topic. As far as hand ballots, I'd rather have hand ballots to recount under close monitoring, than electric only voting where it is IMPOSSIBLE to know what shenanigans have happened. The best system is one that lets you vote/count electronically but creates a paper ballot for backup recount/proof.

After nice absence of his tweets for a couple of days, he’s back. This one caught my eye...
“The NFL players are at it again - taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the National Anthem. Numerous players, from different teams, wanted to show their “outrage” at something that most of them are unable to define. They make a fortune doing what they love......”
Oh I’m sure they know exactly what they are outraged about.
But it The he continues putting his big foot in his mouth..
“Be happy, be cool! A football game, that fans are paying soooo much money to watch and enjoy, is no place to protest. Most of that money goes to the players anyway. Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be Suspended Without Pay!”

trump again..
“I have just authorized a doubling of Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum with respect to Turkey as their currency, the Turkish Lira, slides rapidly downward against our very strong Dollar! Aluminum will now be 20% and Steel 50%. Our relations with Turkey are not good at this time!”
I cringe every time I read or hear him say “I have just authorized” something.

In other news.
Will Ripley...
“#breaking Warning from North Korea: “high-level officials within the U.S. administration are making baseless allegations against us and...intensifying international sanctions... there is no guarantee that the hard-won atmosphere of stability on the Korean Peninsula will continue”
I’m glad to see that’s going so well.

Doubling tariffs will certainly make it better no? Dumbass..no wonder he bankrupted 6 companies.

God, I loathe him with my entire being. He is despicable in every sense of the word.

Brian Tyler Cohen
“Just a reminder that while Pence calls for $8 billion to fund Trump's Space Force idiocy, Senate Republicans just rejected $250 million to bolster election security despite a CURRENT and ONGOING cyberattack by Russia ahead of midterms.
But sure, go get em Buzz Lightyear.”
Maybe Pence’s time/speech would have been more meaningful to the American People if it had been about just what the Feds plan on doing to safeguard our elections from outside third parties , like Russia, instead of wasting money and energy on some idea who’s time has not come yet.

This from an earlier post...
Will Ripley...
“#breaking Warning from North Korea: “high-level officials within the U.S. administration are making baseless allegations against us and...intensifying international sanctions... there is no guarantee that the hard-won atmosphere of stability on the Korean Peninsula will continue”
Updated to include this from Fox News...
“.@repleezeldin: "The North Koreans have never dealt with anyone like @potus. We are approaching this from a position of strength, not weakness."
Yea I see how NK is quaking in their boots. So far it seems the “position of strength “ from trump has given NK pretty what they wanted for very little in return.

Doubling the tariffs etc, for one person?!?! While Russia et al mess with our elections and our lives. North Korea continues to threaten us...... and the list goes on. Please understand that the minister being held is a big issue!!! I am not discounting his family's and his suffering.

Sullivan also ordered that if the two being deported were not returned, Sessions, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Lee Francis Cissna and Executive Office for Immigration Review Director James McHenry would have to appear in court and say why they should not be held in contempt. I literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD when I heard this on the news yesterday-- that judge was PISSED!! Holding smarmy Jeff Sessions in contempt of court would be so great...

I used to have this 'days without being a national embarrassment' picture posted at my desk (right after he got 'installed' as President) but finally had to throw it away, because it made me mad to look at his face.

The best system is one that lets you vote/count electronically but creates a paper ballot for backup recount/proof. Kobach scares the bejeebuz out of me. He caught a bunch of flack for driving his militarized jeep through parades this summer, and when interviewed about it on the local news his response was terrifying. Why would anyone think that is even remotely ok??!! Oh and he's already been in trouble for election-related stuff as secy of state. He's smarmy and I don't think he should have ever been allowed to run. And Colyer has been the first Governor in a very long time to actually care about education, among many other things (like cleaning up the horrible DCF issues that have resulted in the homicides of several KS children this past year). I've met him and he really seems genuine. His ads were much about him and little about his opponents. But you can't win that way, I guess. I'm very heartened to see that he's not going to go down without a fight.

“Hillary Clinton is 71 and people told her to go away. Nancy Pelosi is 78 and people are telling her to go away.
Mitt Romney is 71 and he’s running for Senate. Bernie Sanders is 77 and he’s gonna run in 2020. Joe Biden is 76 and he’s gonna run in 2020.
CAN YOU SEE THE PATTERN?”
Yes, yes I can.

Kyle Griffin...
“The ACLU believes that ICE deliberately withheld deported parents' phone numbers for more than a month, despite the fact that this contact information could have helped reunite many families.”
If they did pull this stunt either ICE needs a complete over haul or maybe ICE does need to be abolished.
