zoogs Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I think Occupy Democrats will probably give you hope, Daily Kos still believes the current Senate has a shot at confirming Merrick Garland, and Michael Moore is polishing off his election prediction cred by making new claims about what will go down with the Electoral College. But if anything happens with the EC, I kind of expect it to be symbolic. I haven't seen any serious speculation that it will be more than a lot of emphasis on how not normal even this small showing of resistance from a few electoral college members is. Link to comment

NM11046 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 And then ... 4 mins later a staffer walked into his office and told him to stop and pivot. Link to comment
funhusker Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 It was Donald.... I believe there was even a debate question about it and you gave the credit to a "400 pound man sitting in his bed"... Link to comment
NM11046 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 After he actually asked Russia to dig into Hillary's emails on national television. What I don't get is that any politician worth his/her salt would say, "Yes, if there's even a hint of doubt we must investigate further". This just makes him look complicit. Interestingly enough his buddy Mike Pence said on Sunday's shows that we should be investigating. More and more each day I think we're actually setting things up for a Mike Pence presidency.

He's very good with the cyber. Link to comment

I guess Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are not worth their salt then. McConnell promised to actively oppose an announcement of this as "partisan politics" and Ryan has gone silent. Mitch is apparently too busy dining with Ivanka to comment on it now. Republican leadership is in Congress are a bunch of pathetic, spineless clowns who are putting their own interests above the country's. Link to comment
NM11046 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Yea once the turtle, I mean Mitch got his wife into the cabinet as promised he isn't going to rock boats. God bless McCain, Graham and others who are stepping up to do what's right, not what's politically aligned. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 It feels weird to praise the Neocons like McCain and Graham, since I'd ordinarily be super opposed to their foreign policy opinions, but you're right-- they appear to be the only ones in the party with any semblance of a spine at this point. Looks like McConnell finally felt compelled to speak. I'm glad it's apparently so alarming to him now, after he made threats to keep it under wraps before and after his wife has a job. There are few people I have less respect for than the Turtle. Link to comment
Moiraine Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If Trump is an expert on anything, it's how hacking works. This is how his entire presidency will work. Every single decision will he based on his gut feelings. Nothing the FBI, CIA, FDA, EPA or any scientist or economist or educator says will matter at all to him unless what they say aligns with what he already assumes to be the truth. Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I wonder if Lockheed Martin would pursue damages against Trump after making their stock tank. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Well....to be honest. He is correct on this. The F-35 project has been a total screw up from day one and it should have been scrapped a very long time ago and saved one hell of a lot of money. Lockheed has been living off this government tit long enough. Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Massive military contracts are about the only way that Congress can directly create jobs. That's why we have $2,000 hammers on those report sheets. Link to comment
