WI GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos threatens to take power away from Tony Evers before January

Wisconsin GOP legislative leaders are threatening to restrict the newly elected Governor Tony Evers.

Apparently they don't believe in "Let the voters speak". We spoke and kicked out Scott Walker and his AG.

The North Carolina legislators tried this move in the pass, when a Democratic Governor was elected, and failed.

PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE.

An open display of the respect for life. All life.

Inherent compassion. Obama had it. Jimmy Carter had it. Beto has it. It's what the country needs in it's leaders.

I would like to think that that is true. I hope it is and I hope she is reminded of it everyday...

..... for the rest of her cowardly miserable life.

She doesn't deserve any less. One NO vote and she could have retired with a place of honor in the history books of Americans.

But this is how most Americans will remember her.

Senator Flake just agreed to a one week delay BEFORE the floor vote for an FBI investigation.

Source: Live TV coverage of committee vote.

That would seem to suggest that he will vote NO from the floor if he does not get the one week delay he has asked for.
One Week no longer. And only the FBI investigation to cover those questions already raised.

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"
