Discussion: Obama Gets Fired Up Over Voting Rights: Voter Fraud Is 'Fake News'

“The notion that there are a whole bunch of people out there who are going out there and are not eligible to vote and want to vote,” Obama said. “We have the opposite problem. We have a whole bunch of people who are eligible to vote who don’t vote.”

Well said, Mr. President. Going from Obama to Trump will be like going from Lincoln to Heckuva Job Brownie at best and to Hitler or Stalin at worst.

I just saw this: FBI, 5 other agencies probe possible covert Kremlin aid to Trump

The FBI and five other law enforcement and intelligence agencies have collaborated for months in an investigation into Russian attempts to influence the November election, including whether money from the Kremlin covertly aided President-elect Donald Trump, two people familiar with the matter said. …

Investigators are examining how money may have moved from the Kremlin to covertly help Trump win, the two sources said. One of the allegations involves whether a system for routinely paying thousands of Russian-American pensioners may have been used to pay some email hackers in the United States or to supply money to intermediaries who would then pay the hackers, the two sources said.

The Golden Showers Memo reported the same thing about the military pensions. And I swear to God, I just saw the MI-5 where “Johnny Marks” steals the list of all agents around the world through the bank used to pay these people their salaries, people under cover. It is like pure fiction. Do the Russian spooks actually cook up their strategery and plans based on mediocre writing from BBC series?

Another Republican happy to be a burden.

Edit: this post was supposed to go on the tax cheat, budget director thread.

THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT

(Perhaps you’d like to be counsel in one of the voting rights suits? (Nixon argued the case of Time v. Hill, on libel, between his vice-presidency and his election as president.))

That series was weird. It wasn’t good, but I liked it. Huge suspension of disbelief required, but compelling to watch.

Some good lines, too. I remember the Rupert Murdochy villain saying how easy it was to take over media and politics in the UK “They’re a bunch of herbivores.”

Somehow this will be turned into Obama creating racial divide in Merica…

That is what we call zinger. Too bad when Reps try to do it they always suck due to not knowing what humor is.
