    Interesting article on Trump's phony electoral fraud commission. Suppression of mail in ballots is a solution looking for a problem and the problem for Trump is not that they are more prone to electoral fraud.

    You said voting by post is no less respectable than voting in person, so I just pointed out that there are two types of postal voting, verified and unverified, so all things are not equally respectable!

I understand it is an essential service for folk who find it physically impossible to get to a polling station for health reasons but we have neighbours who are perfectly capable of getting to the polling station yet still opt for a postal vote. Apart from sheer laziness what other reasons might there be?

    Knowing Trump there must be some evidence that a greater proportion of Democrat voters rely on postal voting than Republicans otherwise he would be shooting himself in the foot surely?
    Ummmm! maybe they don't want to stand in a crowded poll station risking their lives ( 1000+ are dying daily in the USA)
    I would prefer to vote by mail or internet, but Thrump doesn't want that as it goes against his campaign.

    oh sorry .he doesn't have a campaign. He just calls people names and whines like a kid in a playground

    God what a thought , now I'd watch that coaching moment 😳

    Grassley: False ‘Collusion’ Peddlers Must Face Reckoning

    Aug 14, 2020
    Grassley-released docs show FBI lawyer who doctored emails on FISA app also approved covert plan to hijack Trump intel briefing

    BUTLER COUNTY, IOWA – Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was charged today and will reportedly plead guilty to falsifying government records in pursuit of authority to secretly spy on Trump campaign aide Carter Page in 2017. The charge and plea is a significant development in U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the FBI’s errant multi-year Russia collusion probe. Documents recently declassified and released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), reveal Clinesmith was also involved in approving covert FBI operations to hijack intelligence briefings to surreptitiously gather information on Trump campaign officials.

    Grassley, a former chairman and senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and longtime skeptic of the FBI’s collusion probe targeting the Trump campaign and administration, made the following statement:

    “Those who orchestrated, enabled and amplified the bogus Russia collusion saga must face a reckoning, and those who violated the law must face justice. Thanks to recent declassifications, we now know that the same FBI lawyer who doctored evidence to push for spying authority on Trump’s campaign was also intimately involved in plans to co-opt intel briefings to spy on Trump himself. Today, he is being held to account.

    “U.S. Attorney John Durham’s announcement today offers the latest window into how all this started. For the good of our nation, his team must continue to provide transparency into this multi-year, multi-million-dollar debacle,” Grassley said.

    Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, first raised concerns last April about text messages between former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page in which they discuss using FBI briefings with the Trump transition team to develop relationships and gather information. The lawmakers later sought information about FBI policies regarding the use of security briefings as covert operations ahead of the 2020 presidential elections. A December 2019 Justice Department inspector general report validated the lawmakers’ concerns, and documents recently provided to the lawmakers highlight Strzok’s and Clinesmith’s role in approving the operations. The IG report called on the FBI to develop policies to safeguard against misuse of security briefings. That same report revealed Clinesmith’s role in manipulating emails to conceal Carter Page’s prior cooperation with the CIA during the FBI’s application to spy on him.

    Come on now jon, you know that balance is required on the politics board now. You cannot talk about this without also talking about the tell-all books from Obama's Mr fixit lawyer.

    I'm also disgusted that no mention has been made of the scandalous books released by Obama's niece or former national security adviser, which outline the hideous incompetence and corruption in the White House. Where is the balance?

    How is it possible that a convicted liar could have so many cheerleaders on here? I guess that's what desperation looks like!

    Not desperation, just joy at seeing a sinner's redemption.

    I can't wait for the bit where The Proven Liar who, for 10 years, employed a Proven Liar to tell Proven Lies on his behalf calls the former employee a Proven Liar

    Edit

    Sorry I see Sycophant Central has already got that covered.

    Meanwhile.....

    Police issue warning about Donald Trump-shaped ecstasy pills.

    Man, 30s, from Luton arrested on suspicion of supplying the dangerous high-strength batch, police say.


    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...-ecstasy-pills

    “The Donald Trumps are dangerous tablets that contain extremely high levels of MDMA and could put anyone taking these in serious harm.

    “If you come across these or any other type of drug, please do not take them for your own safety, as you can never be sure what these pills contain.”


    They are orange!

    I'm surprised the TDS suffers aren't outraged with their nemesis for causing the breakout of peace in the Middle East.

    Are you claiming that Donald Trump has caused 'the breakout of peace in the Middle East'? Really?

    He has tried to prop up that other crook, Netanyahu. He has done that by endorsing apartheid and subverting 'the rule of law' that you laughingly wave about from time to time.

    His track record so far is to deepen the crisis in the Middle East - mainly through ignorance and stupidity, but with a fair bit of headline chasing and self interest thrown in.

    Interesting that you have reverted to the usual happy clapper Trump propaganda. I guess the US election polls must be narrowing?
