A lot of unforced errors by Trump recently. This one is only going to cause them headaches. https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/13/media/cnn-sues-trump/index.html | ||

Imagine some foreign leader tweeting on the 11/09 to mock/attack your country. Extremely classy, isn't it? Oh of course it isn't. But they don't care about offending other people. It's only when they're offended that they give a shit. Republicans, that is. For Democrats it's another tweet where they die slightly inside.

That's probably how Trump literally perceives China, going by how he talks about them in economic terms. | ||

Possibly just to make it easier for republicans to bring up the prior ruling and cancel the recount. Because people there keep voting her in for whatever reason. She was shoved into the position by Jeb Bush ages ago and keeps holding onto her position via sheer internia. Basically: it’s Florida, they’re incompetent at running elections and people there are incompetent at actually voting properly. | ||

Basically: it’s Florida, they’re incompetent at running elections and people there are incompetent at actually voting properly. To be fair, that lady seems like she doesn't give a **** about proper election handling, so she should probably have been gone for a while now... However, I would like to point out that this "destroying of votes" was about a retention period, destroying them a year before the legal deadline or something along those lines. It is not as if she had destroyed them just after an election... As well, she was appointed by Jeb Bush as it was said, and Scott has been controlling and overseeing elections for a while now so.... Maybe he could have done something before that ? Honestly... Hey, Dems are in charge, blame them ! Hey, we are in charge and didn't do anything to fix it.... Hmmm.... Blame Dems ! | ||

Apparently there is a bunch of good case law supporting this, that the secret service pass cannot be used to arbitrarily deny someone access. A lot of unforced errors by Trump recently. This one is only going to cause them headaches. https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/13/media/cnn-sues-trump/index.html Hopefully the precedent is overturned. | ||

You worship at a strong leaders feet and allow him to dictate who can bring you information? You really need to bring more to the table than this, otherwise folks are going to be left wondering why you would want the president to pick which reporters get to cover the White House. | ||
