US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

If there is reasonable belief then sure investigate.

Not sure if this was posted yet- what the NYC Democratic Election Commissioner thinks about voter fraud

Isn't that what the media themselves were saying in November?

Do you see how the media took Steve Bannon words, and twisted it by cutting off the second half of the sentence?
This is what they constantly do to trump.

Does he believe there is 41% unemployment to?

So just vote twice as everyone else does.

The Evan McMullin would have gotten 3 votes...

[JTZ]

Yesterday we learned from the Trumpsters that unemployment rate was over 35%. What do you think we will learn today?
1 - Interest rate is over 15%
2 - Inflation rate is over 25%
3 - crowd size grew to over 2 million
4 - or some other "alternative facts"?

But the determination to keep campaign promises is verging on an obsession inside the Trump White House

They say it like it's a bad thing.

This line though I think nails it and also explains how trump won the primaries

is an intrinsic part of his method. Trump is leaving rival centers of power uncertain about his motives and unsure of his red lines, putting everyone off balance and increasing his own influence as the only stable force in the chaos.

It's nice to see CNN bend the knee and starting to publish more balanced articles.
They also seem to read Scott Adams.
"Those who see Trump's ignition of controversies as a distraction from the real work of governing miss the point -- his behavior is an intrinsic part of his method."

The only thing they messed up- "He's now pushing to spend taxpayer cash on an investigation into nonexistent allegations of wrongdoing". If researchers are saying that an estimated 800k votes were illegitimate, I think that regardless of what Trump says, it's a investigation worth delving into. 800k votes can easily decide an election.

I guess there are those that do care but "alternative facts" say they don't care.

This is the way to see if people care?

As of Thursday afternoon, the petition had over 368,000 signatures, surpassing the previous record of 367,180. The previous record-holder called for the United States government to “legally recognize the Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group.”

[JTZ]

Does Trump just search the internet to find someone to agree with him?
"Look forward to seeing final results of VoteStand. Gregg Phillips and crew say at least 3,000,000 votes were illegal. We must do better!"

Here is this idiot that Trump is getting his "alternative facts" from

Not following. Explanation please.

Your source that people care is from a petition with 360,000 signatures of which many can be doubles with the previous hgih being that the government, which does not label any groups at all as hate groups, label a hateful church with 40 members as one.

Not following. Explanation please.

would you say americans care to “legally recognize the Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group.”? if not then this petition obviously isnt much proof

Besides that it would be unconstitutional.

The church has nothing to do with this. They got a record amount of signatures in a record amount of time. People care about this and if you want polls that show that I can list them also. All you want to do is argue so I see no point in it.

[aygart]

Of course the difference is that one is simply petty among other things.

Hope he doesn't read this article as it might be the big one.
