It's completely meaningless. You either get to sign the entire bill or veto the entire bill. Saying "I really don't like this part I drew a red line through" means nothing if you sign the bill.
Abbott can fuck off. He's a Chuck Grassley-style "says all the right things, but does the wrong things" RINO.
Reagan gets a pass because he was in a war that we could actually lose. And he won it without firing a shot.
Let him rot.
You guys sound like idiots when you indulge nonsense like this. It doesn't help anything. Sorry, it doesn't.
The big screw up was letting women vote. But to answer your more immediate question, the downfall of the country was the 1986 illegal immigration amnesty. It destroyed California almost overnight. Now it's killing Texas.
Trump can declassify anything he wants, at any time he wants, for any reason he wants (or for no reason at all). He doesn't need permission from anyone.
It's not. Most courts require digital filing now. And we know that's true in this instance because she filed at midnight.
There are a thousand first year law students that would cut off their right arm to spellcheck her legal filings. There really is no excuse for the volume of spelling errors. Hell, I've been a lawyer for 20 years and I'd spellcheck these filings for free just for the experience and the chance to say I worked on the case.
Honestly? I believe Trump's legal team's plan is to file a flood of lawsuits, motions and pleadings on the day before the final certification (December 13th?) and then scream bloody murder that the Congress can not certify the election while the lawsuits have not been been concluded ... and that instead, the Congress will have to vote on who won (each state delegation gets a vote, etc). And this strategy WILL NOT WORK. It will be summarily ignored, the state electors will be certified, and Biden will be declared the winner.
If the Trump legal team actually had anything, they would be providing that evidence before a court ... long before the court of public opinion had made up its mind. The public thinks Biden will be the next President. I don't like it, but it is what it is. I've been saying this for four years on probably 25 different issues (firing Comey, firing Sessions, firing Mattis, starting construction of the full border wall, making the Biden laptop contents public, indicting Hillary, fighting the state changes to mail-in voting in court, etc), but Trump is now out of time. I don't like it, but their behavior tells me they don't have a winning hand.
I hate to break it to the board, but if Lin Wood is begging people to essentially overwhelm the system with state FOIA requests, it means he doesn't have the goods. I wish he did, but he behaves like he doesn't.
Um ... nobody cares what Steve Bannon thinks. Bannon's #1 piece of advice to Trump was to not fire Comey. Where the hell would we be right now if Comey was still running the FBI??? And as soon as Bannon was out, he basically called Don Jr. traitor. Bannon is not on the team.
I'm a lawyer. Eventually you have to put up or shut up. Smart lawyers don't go to the press at all ... and if they do, they do so AFTER the complaint is filed.
She has now realized that no matter what she does, the left will never accept her. So her only avenue back into the spotlight is to try and regain fans she used to have when she was at Fox (conservatives). So she's going to say and do whatever she has to do to try and get them. Total wolf in sheep's clothing.
This is perfectly fine, but then Sidney and Giuliani shouldn't bitch that the media won't cover their evidence. Sorry, we might not like it, but it's true. You can't complain that media won't cover the evidence you've revealed and then, when asked to come on the highest rated news show in the country (who also happens to be sympathetic to your cause) for the entire hour, blow him off and say "go screw yourself." It makes it look like they are blustering, but don't actually have the goods.
This is so stupid.
You guys are nuts. You won't be happy until you've declared yourself the one "true Trump supporter" left.
You guys are nuts. Giuliani (who I love and consider to be the best elected official the country has had in my lifetime) browbeat the press today and accused them of being completely unwilling to do their jobs and report the evidence the Trump team had uncovered related to election fraud. Today Tucker (who has been nothing but an ally) offers the Trump team his full hour in primetime to make their case ... and they decline. Sorry, it's not a good look.
Let the downvotes commence. I don't care.
Exactly. I have no more tolerance for Abbott. He's a typical "talk a great game, do the exact opposite" RINO jerkoff.
They can be sued for interference as a tort.
This isn't accurate. But if you wanted to be accurate, you could substitute Ted Cruz because he was the one James Baker put in charge of coordinating Bush's legal response.
Strongly disagree. This was the same logic that led to Trump giving the GOPe (Ryan, McConnell) their tax cuts first and then seeing them block every single one of his policy priorities (while the GOP held both houses of Congress and the White House). If you give them (the GOPe) what they want, they will then abandon you when it comes time for them to help us with what we want.
The GOPe wants control of the Senate more than anything. It allows McConnell to have the nicest office. It allows the committee chairmen to control all the money. It ensures they will get donations from Big Corporate donors and lobbyists who want their priorities taken care of. The instant the Georgia runoffs are over (win or lose), the GOPe will turn on Trump with the force of a thousand suns. If you want something from them (and we do - we want them to provide a full throated defense of Trump and support during any court battles related to the election), then you force them to participate with the knowledge that if they don't provide 100% effort, then the conservative base abandons them in the Georgia runoffs and nobody gets what they want.
It's the only way to force them to be honest participants in the coalition. If you don't force them, they will never be team players. The day after the runoffs, Lindsey Graham is going to turn on Trump so fast that we're all going to get whiplash.
Bannon told him to keep Comey and then declared Don Jr. a traitor.
