Cool. The propagandists are looking at the limits of their influence

What's disgusting is that such a flawed, suck-ass human being could ever get nominated by a major party to run for president, much less get elected.

Then after four years of hateful, racist rhetoric and mind blowing incompetence, still had a chance to be re-elected

Absolutely

If they use touch screen machines, who examines the programming and validates that it works correctly? It's the company that built it, in conjunction with the same state officials who bought the system, who in SC and FL may very well be crooks.

How do you do an audit? It's impossible on a touch screen system, because there is no human marked paper to check vote totals against.

We need to eliminate any voting machine that doesn't scan a human marked ballot

In VA, I take a piece of paper with names and ovals on it.

I color in the ovals beside the names I like and feed that piece of paper into a scanner.

This year, the scanner read my votes for Joe Biden, Mark Warner and Abagail Spanberger into the elections database and dropped the paper in a locked bin.

If the board of elections wants to, they can count the votes on the paper and cross check those totals against the database totals.

We should do this everywhere. This setup, machine counting of human marked paper, should be the norm, so if the results diverge from the polling, humans can audit the returns by looking at the human marked inputs to determine if we have bad polling or fraud.

I'm convinced that touchscreen voting machines with no paper trail are giving incorrect results. In some cases it is deliberate fraud.

In others it is because they are built quickly, cheaply and badly by some fly-by-night company owned by a politician's brother-in-law and they suck as data processing systems.

Call your congress person and demand impeachment

I just called my Congresswoman, Spanberger, to demand Impeachment.

I also left a message for Speaker Pelosi demanding impeachment as well.

We’re looking at the rule of King Donald the Deranged if we don’t act!

Please call your representatives today!

Called my Congresswoman to suggest a bill allowing Air Traffic Controllers to strike

Allow TSA employees to strike as well with the condition it only applies IF they aren’t being paid.

I know it will never become law, but it may have some symbolic impact.

If we could close down air travel, the shutdown would end.

Trump's situation is worse than Nixon's

In that he was very close to the original crime of conspiracy, if not directly involved in it.

Nixon wasn’t that closely involved in the actual Watergate break-in.

The only way Trump is better off than Nixon is that the right wing lying machine didn’t exist in the 70’s.

I suspect that there is so much evidence that Fox et al won’t be able to save Trump. They will drag out the process but there is too much hard evidence of wrongdoing with cell phone records, emails, etc. These people left trails that a blind man could follow.

I believe that there is so much hard evidence to be presented it will blow people's minds

Especially if those people have been listening to the orange monster and Fox News.

There will be some last gasp supporters, but a lot of people are going to be blasted out of the right wing echo chamber into reality.

I also believe that those people, in turn, will move Republican Senators.

Their supervisor set them up with fraudulent work permits

Stop that kind of stuff and illegal immigration gets much easier to manage.

The repugnants know this but let the issue fester to motivate their red neck voters.

MSM will tell the truth at some point after the Democrats start open hearings

Information is going to come out to a wider audience from the hearings. It will eventually be corroborated by info from Mueller’s team, SDNY the New York attorney general and other investigators.

Once the hearings start and a large percentage of Americans have easy access to this information, the coverup is going to fall apart. There’s too much malfeasance to hide it forever.

MSM will be forced to cover it.

That's refreshing to see

Now stop amplifying his lies by repeating what said/tweeted verbatim.

I’d like to see/hear something like “Trump told 12 lies in the last week about a “caravan” of people walking across Southern Mexico.”

“Trump repeatedly exaggerated the number of people, made unsubstantiated claims that Middle Eastern terrorists were included in in the group.”

“Trump also claimed that he would order the military to stop the invasion. However calling it an invasion is not accurate when talking about unarmed civilians and it isn’t clear that the military could be used this way legally, due to the Posse Comitatus Act, that limits using the military for domestic law enforcement.”
