(7,725 posts)that officials up in MI said several Detroit Precincts were shut down, not counted, or showed extreme irregularities, that were never addressed or recounted bc they were stopped. But why? That state alone is where a lot of the "Hinky Happened". I think.
i agree. ignoring any problem rarely solves it. Which makes me real jumpy about the 2018 elections...are they dragging their feet on purpose? Has DHS gone state to state, city by city, county by county to check the software and machines themselves? they were hacked by kids at a convention in literally minutes. What exactly does Homeland Security do? I've not seen too many of them before congress justifying their continued existence.
How long has Russia been involved in this? And the gop? Seems HOmeland Security is a redundancy of an already redundant over policed system. DHS increased the size of govt over 15% in one fell swoop. We know how these military type budgets seem to go as well...Ever bigger and expensive. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan is over in all but name only. The institutions we set in place in a 'terrorist behind every corner world' of GWB, has passed, and it's time to go back to a peacetime economy and system I'd posit. that's just me...while we're discussing abolishing ICE and we see how TSA has grown out of control as well.
Just an aside about TSA...I'd like to see how many true blue bombers etc they really stopped. Imho...if im on a plane that blows up...then thats the cost of freedom in America and the rest of the 340 million of us shouldnt suffer any more than those who died. There's a cost to liberty. We need to be ready to pay it to have peace of mind and privacy again. Flying has become too cumbersome.
