Hey, why didn't you tell us there was no John Durham investigation?? I actually heard this from another source a few months ago, but I couldn't verify it.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

It's good to see somebody else is on the same page, and has already shared his testimony with US Attorney John Durham.

Yeah, there are a lot of questions that need answering! Most of the story is right, but there are some misdirections. Clearly there is a throwing under the bus and/or obfuscation exercise going on!

Re: The Donald Trump thread

It looks like he's turned his obsession onto some random bloke on the internet

I do think he has some very serious obcessions and behaviours , they do appear to be worsening, he has become very fixated ,it's almost a form of stalking, in some ways I'm flattered, I've never in my life been stalked in such a way.

I dont think the Internet is serving him well, I hope there is help out there .

This is a great title and apt ""Conspiracy of Dunces""

Having watched some of the video clips in that link I come to the conclusion that whereas old Boris has the knack of saying nothing much with great bluster and enthusiasm whilst sounding believable, whereas Trump has the unfortunate knack of saying nothing much with a monotonous drone which comes over as quite unbelievable. He could do with some coaching lessons from Boris.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

I rarely have much sympathy for Trump but on the business of postal voting I do, not so much about fraudulent voting (he may have a point there but I have no idea to what extent that might be) but just asking the question why is it necessary? 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?

From Trump's point of view, having an incredibly low turnout is a great reason to challenge the legitimacy of the election.

I don't know for sure what the reasons are for people preferring a postal vote but my guess is that many (mainly Democrat supporting people) have memories of massive voting queues, missing ballots and defective voting machines (strangely mainly in Republican controlled states) and also know the extent of voter suppression that Trump has been trying to engineer - and want to get their vote into the system as soon as possible, so there is more chance it will be recorded and count!

That and people who for a range of reasons can't easily get to their polling station on election day.

Yeah great title. What do you think it means and why do you consider it apt in the context of the exchange that Gluey's favourite conspiracist no longer thinks the "Durham Investigation" is real and suddenly Gluey has exposed that despite trumpeting it as the latest silver bullet he had hidden doubts all along?

Being President appears one reason!

Nobody on the planet would be expected to have proof that somebody else was running the investigating, and if somebody has the evidence it would be an extraordinary feat of sleuthing, but it has been mentioned by a few people as a possibility. It's not actually a new idea because Mueller wasn't running his investigation either! You are a very negative and predictable person Cyril and you need to pull yourself together. The only thing you have contributed to this thread is propaganda and misdirection, and it's not good.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

If you want to know where the "rule of law" altar boys(don't think Roger Stone) are currently praying at you need look no further than the Conservative Treehouse. Their leader, Sundance has for the last six weeks been saying that only he and his disciples know the truth and this will be the week it will happen....until it doesn't. Still there is always next week.

As an illustration here is one of his latest onanistic posts to his adoring fans (clue, one lives here). Apparently if Barr's poodle , Durham doesn't spill the beans and stat prosecuting rather than writing a biased report, then good 'ole Sundance will out Durham's lead prosecutor. Is there no honour amongst thieves?

Long gone are the ‘hopes’ and ‘trusts’ attached to Jeff Sessions, Rod Rosenstein, Michael Horowitz, John Huber, Matt Whitaker, John Laush, the House of Representatives or Senate;… all futile in their efforts, perhaps purposefully so. That leaves John Durham and AG Bill Barr… and hope is not a strategy as we enter the final stretch.

If no progress is made by this Friday 5pm, CTH will first share the name of the primary Durham investigator to media previously briefed on the documents we assembled. From there, and within 24 hrs, we will make that name public and direct inquiries can begin.

AG Barr made an unscheduled appearance on television last night, and he said an announcement would be made today regarding the Durham investigation. I wonder if it will be before 5pm?

Why should people have a reason for preferring a postal vote? We used to post letters and now we email. We used to send cheques but now we have electronic methods of transferring money. Life moves on and voting by post is no less respectable than voting in person.
