Eric Trump insisted Friday on Fox News that his father was simply having “fun” this week when he praised Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.) as “my kind of guy” for assaulting a Guardian reporter last year.
“He wasn’t the guy that body-slammed anybody,” the younger Trump said of his dad. “He can have fun. By the way, this is exactly why my father won.”

Former Minnesota FBI Agent Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison for Leaking Documents
https://kstp.com/news/kstp-terry-albury-fbi-minnesota-sentenced/5113351Former Minnesota FBI Agent Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison for Leaking Documents
Terry James Albury, a former FBI agent in Minnesota, was sentenced to four years in prison with an additional three years of supervised release on Thursday in U.S. District Court in Saint Paul.
Albury admitted that he leaked documents to a reporter from The Intercept, an online news publication.
Because of his work with the FBI, Albury held a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information security clearance that allowed him access to "sensitive and classified FBI and other U.S. government information" according to a 2018 FBI release.
Court documents from Albury's guilty plea say Albury disclosed national defense information to an Intercept reporter.
The documents included information that related to how the FBI assesses confidential informants, and a document "relating to threats posed by certain individuals from a particular Middle Eastern country."
"I fully accept responsibility for what I did," he said. "I sincerely apologize to everyone I hurt, especially my family and former colleagues."
Albury pleaded guilty to two violations of the Espionage Act.

Georgia purged 107,000 voters just because they haven't voted recently
https://shareblue.com/georgia-voter-purge-brian-kemp-governor-race/Georgia purged 107,000 voters just because they haven’t voted recently
Oct 19 2018
Brian Kemp's war on voters is much more extensive than recent news suggests.
Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp’s determined strategy to kick people off the state’s voter rolls included making sure 107,000 voters are ineligible simply because they opted not to participate in elections recently.
The news comes as Republican Kemp, running for governor in the state, is under intense scrutiny following an Associated Press report documenting how Kemp’s office was holding up the registrations of over 53,000 voters.
These registrations were being delayed by Kemp’s office because of an “exact match” verification process, which disproportionately impacts minority voters. The AP report revealed that while Georgia’s population is 32 percent black, 70 percent of the registrations being delayed by Kemp’s office were for black voters.
And now comes word that in July of 2017, 100,000 citizens were removed simply for not casting a vote in a recent election. During that month, “more than half a million people — 8 percent of Georgia’s registered voters — were cut from the voter rolls,” according to APM Reports.
Kemp’s opponent, Democrat Stacey Abrams, would become the first black woman governor in the United States if she won. She has described Kemp as a “remarkable architect of voter suppression.”
By itself, maintaining voter rolls isn’t a bad thing. Federal law requires that states make sure rolls are updated. But it’s remarkable that Georgia tossed so many voters because they hadn’t cast a ballot recently.
Under “use it or lose it” laws favored by a handful of Republican state legislators, voters who skip election cycles must contact local election offices to maintain their eligibility. If they didn’t vote in 2012 or 2016, and then didn’t return mailed-out confirmation notices, it’s possible they’ll find themselves off the voter rolls in November.
Because the laws are relatively new, and because many voters likely don’t know they’re supposed to check in with their local election office, tens of thousands of Georgia vote may discover they can’t vote this Election Day.
How does this help Republicans in Georgia?
“The state has undergone a dramatic influx of African Americans and Latinos whose votes could challenge Republican dominance, and her campaign is trying to turn out people of color, who are more likely to be infrequent voters,” APM Reports notes. “If the race is close, the July 2017 purge could affect the outcome.”
Its research shows that in Ohio, which also has a “use it or lose it” requirement, the law disproportionately affected urban, Democratic-leaning counties.

FYI: "GOP dark money group pretends to be Democrats to attack Andrew Gillum"
https://shareblue.com/republican-dark-money-florida-strong-andrew-gillum/GOP dark money group pretends to be Democrats to attack Andrew Gillum
A Republican dark money group has been misleading voters and using Facebook to smear Florida gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum.
A Republican dark money operation is masquerading as a group of Democrats and is trying to smear Andrew Gillum, the Democratic nominee for governor in Florida.
“Florida Strong” is the PAC in question, fueled with thousands of dollars from a team of right-wing donors.
Money has come in to the political committee from the Florida Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, a group called “Sunshine State Conservatives,” and other PACs like the Responsible Leadership Committee and a PAC supporting Trump called the Freedom First Committee. Florida Strong also received $100,000 from former GOP state senator and conservative real estate developer Patrick K. Neal.
The name of the group is a exactly the same as a previously existing advocacy group, also called Florida Strong, that backed Democratic candidates in the past.
Maria Garcia, the leader of the original Florida Strong, told the Miami New Times that the new GOP group “feels like a deliberate attempt to mislead voters and to muddy the waters using Facebook to exploit misinformation.”
Using Facebook, the GOP group is promoting the website LearnAboutGillum.com, which uses several right-wing attacks against the gubernatorial nominee.
They inaccurately describe Gillum as a “socialist” to the left of Sen. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Clinton is labeled a “radical.”
A recent video from the group compares Gillum to Gollum, the character from the Lord of the Rings series of novels and movies. An actor emulating Gollum’s voice accuses Gillum of wanting to raise taxes, ignoring crime, and abolishing ICE.

A true Dem Pac wouldn't do that.
An true Dem writer wouldn't do so either.

BEWARE of Articles Written by LIZ MAIR
I just want you to know the devisive tactics being used by the Libertarian/Republican Party.
Should you come across an article damning the Democrats, their leaders or their mission of human rights & equality, please check the writer.
This is just one of them, but she is a nasty RW hack a LIAR & PROPAGANDIST.
Her intention is clear.
WHO IS LIZ MAIR
Liz Mair is a republican hack. She may identify herself as a "libertarian", but it is the same bullshit to me:
"Mair has worked for US politicians including Rand Paul, Scott Walker, Rick Perry and Carly Fiorina.[3] In 2015, one day after being announced as an aide to Wisconsin governor Walker, she resigned after posting controversial Twitter messages referring to "morons across America" (on Iowa's ethanol subsidies) and to removing "Iowa's frontrunning status" in the U.S. election cycle.[4]
In December 2015, she helped create the Make America Awesome Super PAC, "as a vehicle to attack Donald Trump."[5] On July 14, 2016, Mair tweeted her intention to vote for Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson in the November general election.[6] Almost two weeks later, on August 4, while discussing the newly formed Republicans for Johnson-Weld, she called Trump a "loudmouthed dick" in an interview with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and tweeted about it afterwards, to widespread approval from other users of the social media platform.[7][8]"
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Mair
LIZ MAIR joins the long list of KOCH Formed & Funded Libertarian Party.
The likes of Jill Stein & Rand Paul who's cozyness with Putin is well documented.
Just a FYI as we need to check the sources of opinion pieces we are seeing as the elections grow closer.
THANKS
