I've known about widespread gerrymandering nationwide for decades, not the names of every official involved. None the same as you.

The votes in Georgia are still being counted and who wins the Governor job could decide the the next election.

carpetmonster Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Sanders still hasn't pulled the doctored video on her Twitter - the one from Infowars.If it was in this country it would be an open and shut libel/slander - what's the law like on this in the US?Similar; Acosta has a fairly bulletproof case for slander, should he wish to take one up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have thought so but it wouldn't help those who've been removed from the ballot by other nefarious means. For example, my signature changes every time I write it. In some states I'd be fucked, even with full id. With an anglo/saxon/celtic name I'd probably get away with it though.

The White House lied? Gosh. A brand new development, and one that's worthy of hour upon hour of airtime. Perhaps Trump will make his 875th blantantly racist statement later and the press can wring their hands about that instead of talking about the shit that's actually important. Working them like marionettes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_62 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 and *still* no update on the caravan! That must be 2 days of not speaking about what was being billed as the greatest threat to the US ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Seeing it as a soap opera I'd like to see Chris Christie or Rudy Giuliani getting the job of AG. Christie is more likely to resist Trump but Giuliani would implode quicker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 There will be an attempt to stop/seriously curtail Mueller, Nothing is more certain. The backlash, together with anything that is reported (officially or leaked) will play well into 2020. Trump will not try to be bipartisan in the next two years and will be voted out of office unless the Democrats pick a terrible candidate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it's possible for a seperate House investigation to be launched with Mueller named as its head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
