I saw MLK’s former attorney give a talk on a college campus about 4 years ago. He talked about this coming. Approximately 200 voting rights laws have been turned back across the country...it is always one party leading the charge. Lower voter turnout favors the GOP. Just the way the math works.MDlaxfan76 wrote:What we're seeing now in organized, large scale voter suppression by the new-GOP and really outrageous negative ads by various GOP and/or Trump supporters (and to a lesser extent some Dem) makes me really nervous about the damage done by norm destruction in 2016 and since .
We're seeing all sorts of blatant behaviors from which the bulk of the former-GOP would have previously recoiled.
Anyone want to bet that if the GOP holds onto House and Senate this won't accelerate?
Anyone want to bet that, if so, and Trump 'wins' in '20, there won't be a move for extension of Presidential terms one way or another?

Re: The Mueller Investigation
In an observation that reflects more on "we, the people"...let's say that for some reason, the Russians had worked in this manner to elect HRC.
Though it won't be on her behalf, this scenario could quite easily reverse itself going forward, right?
Imagine the raw, pulsating OUTRAGE that would be (will be?) emanating from the right, from Faux and Breitbart and Drudge and all the righteous culture warriors in the Congress like that sanctimonious moron Lindsey Graham? We'd be so far into impeachment hearings and trials that we'd be ready to explode.
The shoe would clearly be on the other foot from both camps...all us lefty's, MSNBC, CNN, etc. would be playing it down..."aww, it just COULDN'T have made THAT much of a difference!"
and you righties (and faux moderates) would be rolling your eyes and sputtering your outrage daily...

No, but like Il Duce, our Orange Duce will claim that he's done so.
Re: The Mueller Investigation
"When Mueller’s team released George Papadopoulos’ plea deal last year, I noted that the initial denials that Papadopoulos had advance warning of the emails the Russians were preparing to hack and leak did not account for the entire universe of emails known to have been stolen. A year and several Mueller indictments later, we still don’t have a complete understanding of what emails were being dealt when. Because that lack of understanding hinders understanding what Mueller might be doing with Roger Stone, I wanted to lay out what we know about four sets of emails."

MSNBC cutie Natasha Bertrand does her best to preemptively throw shade on Geo Papadop's upcoming Deep State expose' before Congress.
The Deep State's MSM flacks can't bury this stuff forever. .clock1. The plot thickens. The empty wheel goes round & round. Can't wait for the Roger Stone show trial.

Re: The Mueller Investigation
Papadop can learn how old his wife is and where she came from.
Meanwhile, NY AG has sued Trump Foundation, dad, Eric, jr and Barbie for misusing their charity to benefit themselves.
So far no news on when Hillary will face charges.

Re: The Mueller Investigation
More mud in the water. Wouldn't it be lovely if one single person that was anywhere near DC in the past 3 years was honest? I wouldn't believe this guy if he told me my name was Todd, let alone tell the truth in what's surely his FoxNation tinfoil hat book deal.

Mike Pence has not been questioned by Mueller. Chair of the Trump Transition. Smack in the middle of the Flynn Experience. Just leaving that here. Carry on.

Wow. Sounds like they're throwing in the towel on Morning Joe about collusion & obstruction.
...they have a new horse to flog.

Mon 10/29 @ 6:37am on Morning Joe-- former Obama DoJ spokesman (flack) Matt Miller, (who always lets us know how well he's still DoJ connected).Trinity wrote:KellyAnne tried to claim the same thing—but we’re in the pre-election period so little news of Russia. Enjoy the big win!
Previously a relentless predictor of doom re. the Mueller investigation of Trump collusion & obstruction, Miller threw in the towel, when a distraught Mika asked him if Mueller might save us from Trump. Miller sadly said Mueller will produce nothing beyond a narrow look re. obstruction. .angry7.
Miller then shifted to his new horse to flog -- the DoJ rooting out RW white nationalist hate groups. The new MJ trope.
