Easy to see what happened in Georgia. Polling places closed, voting machines supplied with no power cords and dying off battery with four hour lines, voting machines in minority districts being left in the back, people showing up to vote and being told they already voted provisionally, people casting absentee ballots and them sitting uncounted at first. The Secretary of State (running for gov) refusing to recuse himself. This is stuff if plain as day for anyone with an unbiased set of eyes and a sense of right and wrong.

It always puzzles me when people looking to improve a current situation that has room for an upgrade are ridiculed. It’s almost like “status quo or else” is a great idea and should never be challenged or something. ?

Think it's related to the 10% tax cut for the middle class the President promised?

Maybe ppl don't want to reply?

That's Dear Leader's job. He promised it. Wondering if it's going to happen.

You don't remember the promise?

Prez promised. Is it happening?

Nah no booze tonight DC Tom. Made a conscious decision to stop contributing to the division and just chat. What are your thoughts on statecraft in the era of isolation?

631 missing so far - but I haven’t checked since beginning of Sabres game so that number could have changed. Either way, nothing political about this except for Dear Leader inciting his minions, right? Dry weather, power lines vulnerable to falling limbs, and high winds. Right?

I respect your take!

Nah, chilling tonight. As as you said, the White House does not take a dump without a plan. Not a big deal if you think it was a matter of logistics and I think it could have happened. People disagree all the time and it’s all good. American leadership was not at it’s best that day, regardless of the reason. Can we agree on that?

As usual, JW nails it. More pieces will be put in place in 19, but the way this reads, 20 is the first year that we can start to evaluate these leaders. There is is a plan. At some point the Bills need to stick to it. The lumps up front are the sprint, but this is a marathon.

Also Mar-A-Lago member. Not sure if she has any international diplomatic experience. How important is statecraft these days? Does it matter anymore? Or are we in an American global hegemony with the chops to break new ground in the field of international relations? Thoughts?

Exactly. There is always a backup plan. And then a backup to the backup. The weak coward didn’t want to get his pate wet. We then got trolled by Canada. Canada.

How do folks feel about the right to vote as an American citizen? Lots of takes in play: - Should all Americans be automatically registered as voters at 18? - Should that right be taken away if convicted of a crime or is it inalienable? - Should there be independent bodies that govern and demarcate districts at both the federal and state level? - Is the goal to restrict the eligible voting populace or to expand it? What is the reasoning for either approach? Curious to learn where folks are on this. Thx!

Now THAT is a hot take!

The White House ALWAYS has a rain plan. Always. And no, not boozing yet, but this one should be easy guys. You show up and honor the dead. Hearing Trudeau troll Trump just now is just embarrassing for us.

Attacking our republic in action is rewarded by fellating a dictator on the world stage. Meanwhile, trying to come here for a better life while having brown skin is met by our CoC with troop deployments ready to kill. The pandering. There isn't a republican with and balls to stand up to this weak fearmonger. Just so I understand what my party stands for - we are tough on crime (read the 13th amendment), we are for huge government spends, and we are for paying for the big spend by preventing ppl from paying for thier health. is that us? oh btw we have 300 million. 5,000 ppl looking for better lives yeah that's really gonna crush our culture Stephen Miller This isn't even a talking point - I would say we should refer to our Ambassadors in Turkey and SA...oh wait we can't. No diplomacy Can't wait for everyone to tell me how diplomacy doesn't matter.

If not, what are you proud of? If yes, there is still time.

Sounds about white. I’m just going to go ahead and report this to the Fusion center. the blood of patriots and tyrants watering the tree of liberty and all. Want it to make sure you get paid a visit. Thx for the IP address.

But lying the entire time about it. I’m a registered Republican - have been since 18 and will always support fiscal responsibility, individual liberties, and personal choice on a national level. That said, I have always voted based on what I know/knew about each candidate regardless of party and always will. I’m a free thinker. However, an abject look at the data shows that the Republicans, when in power, always expand spending and grow the deficit. Surprised? Who wants charts and graphs? Couple that with the way republicans work so hard to prevent people from voting and you have to ask...what are they afraid of? Then look at this picture and you see it. Good for you DC Tom! wish I was my own boss.

Halloween party! Thinking of WFH tomorrow, but gotta email my boss relatively soon on that. We’ll see. Depends on the buffoonery I guess.

We are lying to America about taking away pre-existing condition protection, in fact we are suing to remove while we tell you we support it, but look over there, 5,000 brown people are 1,500 miles away and coming here on foot for the hope of a better life. Maybe a job at Home Depot or honest work in construction or disaster clean up. Let’s point guns at them!

I'm not showing you *****. That's on you and your boy to show yourself whatever weird point you are trying to make, which who knows what that is. International diplomacy has been an abject failure since 1787. Thank goodness GG was able to point out that Benjamin Franklin's mission to France had nothing to do with America defeating England. Because, you know, brown immigrants or something. The stupid.

Didn't our nations press secretary release a statement saying that the Supreme Court under President Trump was now secured for decades? Under. One of these things is not like the other. Does this administration not understand who is in charge?
