He is not done yet trying to cheat the system.

Lying and cheating is the ONLY way he knows how to get ahead.

Thanks for the hard work you do.

A matter of fact demeanor from our poll works is welcomed. Now!

Sad but true. We live in a small town 8,000 total. We have live in the same house since 1980. Voted in the same voting place since 1980. Have the same address and telephone since 1980. Many of the poll workers are folks that we are on a first name basis with. Often we are greeted by "HI my name" and "HI my wife's name". Hi John Hi Sally. For years they would have already located our name BEFORE we finish small talk.

Now of course we have to show our ID etc, etc. Which would be fine IF we weren't smart enough to realize that this is all about VOTER SUPPRESSION. There is no voter fraud as recent news has proven. Trump and Kobach's "voter fraud" committee has already failed and been debunked by the national press.

VOTER SUPPRESSION been the point from the beginning.

Now I carry my ID to get milk and bread.

For generations the USAF has flown missions up and down or eastern coastline to protect....

against attacks from the then Soviet Union. Our government has realized the threat for years . Now for whatever reason we fail to see the serious threat from the continuous cyber attacks from the very same bad actors in Russia.

We realize at least as far back as the 1960 that the government NEEDED to be the protecting force. Not individuals, not states and not private businesses. Now we need the same level of shielding from this more dangerous unseen clandestine attacks or probes from the Russian state.

According multiple sources with knowledge of cyber warfare it is possible for bad players to disrupt our power gird, disrupt out telecommunication systems and disrupt our water supplies. In other words disrupt our entire infrastructure. WITHOUT firing a shot and without the use of conventional weapons.

Why is our government NOT taking this threat seriously and protecting that one bank in Maine and all other institutions within our boarders.

Forget the stupid wall to stop immigrants seeking a better life. Build protection around our entire country from cyber warfare.

THAT IS THE GOVERNMENTS JOB!

How does it feel to be on the HOT seat Congressman Jordan?

How does it feel? Do you think it is as much fun as your attacks on DOJ and FBI?

I'll take a wild guess and bet you DO NOT like the role reversal.

Remember Ken Blackwell and the 2004 election counting irregularities in Ohio.

When he was Ohio Secretary of State.

The larger question is why hasn't the DNC / DCCC done something aggressively to address the election fraud (NOT VOTER FRAUD) that has been going on in nearly every national and state elections since at least 2004.

Republicans have been interfering in fair elections since at least 2004. Now in 2016 apparently they are willing to ignore the fact that a foreign power has interfered with a U.S. Presidential election.

It's all about winning for them. There are no limits to what they will do or tolerate to win and hold power.

While the democrats choose to play nice and be civil. IDIOTS!

Every single Congress member is apparently willing to ignore their oath of office.
To: "Support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic"

THE ENTIRE COUNTRY DESERVES BETTER.

Why is it that the only battle plan the democrats seem to have is "defense". IMO we NEVER challenge the repugs until it's way to late. Case in point. SCOTUS seat. Now everyday dozens of emails from dozens of groups running around with their hair on fire AFTER the Kennedy resignation. All looking for money of course.

It now personally feels to me like throwing good money after bad. Of all the checks I have written and petitions I have signed
I have never been told or shown that my effort really helped.

Not even once. Was there a clear back and white result where anyone wrote and said Thank you, because you and 1000, 100,000 or 1,000,000 other people gave and sign we won this one battle.

Where was the outrage when McConnell STOLE Merrick Garland's / Obama's seat. GDamn it! fight as if your life depends on winning BECAUSE it does. The life of this democracy is on advance life support right now.

I have to wonder if we are not seeing a similar situation that we have recently seen on a smaller scale. The case where Stormy Daniel's original attorney was privately selling her down the road by colluding with Trump's attorney Cohen. Colluding against her all along.

What the hell have the DNC and the DCCC been doing to protect our interests. Colluding for their personal benefits. It seems like for congress members and their decisions it is ME FIRST, PARTY SECOND, never all Americans.

Dead on the RePutins are using every trick in the book to hold onto power.

The Russian interference is only one. Many of the things that are going on are still unknown to most Americans. Yesterday I heard a podcast where a former ambassador Michael McFaul said he wished he could tell the American people the whole truth about the Russian intrusion into Americans infrastructure. He was precluded from saying much because of classified national security issues.

Listen to Rachel Maddow's Jun 22, 2018 podcast. Last Friday night. Guest host Ari Melber. Listen to the last 10 minutes Ambassador Michael McFaul.

Did we not learn that incarceration of a whole class of people will leave a red mark in history.

We as a country incarcerated Japanese families during World War II. The history books will not let us forget that good people looked away and let it happen.

The Nuremberg Trials held the Nazi responsible for inhuman atrocities to an entire class people. The history books will not let us forget that good people looked away and let it happen.

The history books will not let us forget that 45th president of the U.S. and the Republican party incarcerated thousand of children for political gain. And that his party including Congressional leaders looked away and let it happen. They looked away and lied about the justification for separating families seeking asylum. They look away and lied by weaponizing passage from the bible. They lied and blame the entire program of tearing children as young as infants away from their mothers and families on an opposition political party.

History will mark this dark moment. And it will name the those who perpetrated these atrocities.

How are we any different than those in other countries who, in the name of religion, terrorize innocent people.

We are creating a new generation of people who will hate Americans and seek revenge on future generations.

A vicious cycle.

With all due respect to readers who aren't as enraged about this as

I am I apologize for the following.

FUCK YOU..... D.J.T. May you and all your poisonous offspring end up broke and in federal prison for your treasonous acts.

And may any republican who FAILED to condemn this crazy idiot be voted out of office and seen by the county as cowards and co-conspirators to this idiot.

Where in the U.S. CONSTITUTION does it say that the bible

has any influence or standing for a sworn U.S. official to state "Romans 13: obey the laws of the Government because God has ordained the government for his purposes"

AG Session is an idiot! And if ANYONE should know what his job is as AG it should be the AG.
1. HE IS NOT THE PRESIDENTS ATTORNEY!
2. He is the American Citizen (The Peoples) attorney
3. He was not given the job to preach scripture to the people.
4. He needs to respect the established relationship of church an state as it is spelled out in the First Amendment.

The first amendment to the US Constitution states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" The two parts, known as the "establishment clause" and the "free exercise clause" respectively, form the textual basis for the Supreme Court's interpretations

5. Finally he needs to resign if he can understand the simple principle.

Don't you just love these GOP folks who make the Second Amendment say more that it does and ignore the clear First Amendment. Both to make their personal / religious beliefs have the force of law. Falsely bending both 1 & 2 for delusional believes of a few. In stark contrast to the realistic views of the majority.
