Hey,
Bernie sold his soul early on to the Devil, Hillary for a Lakefront home.\
It just took Stien a while longer but she made out with a larger haul.

[Jimmy The Snake]

On FR is only place I saw it. Botom line with all the stir this story has caused the CIA will be required to put up or shut up.

DNC was not a hack it was an inside leak and not a hack per Julian Assange.

Podesta was an unsecure Gmail account with a simple password.

So a big KGB hack is big leap.

They signed an agreement not to that is binding. It was a stupid thing to do, but they did it. It just got extended for another 4 or 8 years.

I now understand why so many illegal votes were manufactured in CA for Hillary - a state she didn't need to cheat in to win.

It was to build a popular vote cushion that would take attention away from narrow wins in other states won by cheating. If for instance, it was the other way around and Clinton narrowly won states like PA, MI and WI, any Trump recount effort would not gather steam because she won by such a "wide margin" in the popular vote.

But alas, she did not cheat quite enough in those states as Trump's turnout was stronger than expected.

President Trump will now have four years to clean up our dirty election system. A good start will be to require voter ID in all states, eliminate early voting and restrict those who can vote by absentee. Of course this all needs to be done at state levels but Trump can apply the pressure to get it done.

I believe MI already has a voter ID law on the table and Trump hasn't even taken office yet.

Look up the 1981 consent decree, or go here: http://www.wnd.com/2012/11/gop-legally-barred-from-fighting-vote-fraud/

The consent decree was just renewed, there was a post here on FR about it in the last few weeks.

[Mr. Douglas]

You are like my brother, a non worrier.

There is more to it than that. Thing is, my faith is in God. I think we are screwed no matter which candidate won the last election. So, who becomes president isn’t that important to me, so I can enjoy this theater more.

Well, that and the simple fact that the other side knows that if they pull this away from the winner, there will be blood. Lots of it. They don’t want to go there.

“In deciding the case, which stems from a 2008 lawsuit brought by the DNC, the district court clarified ballot security efforts as “any program aimed at combating voter fraud by preventing potential voters from registering to vote or casting a ballot,” and upheld the consent decree while adding a Dec. 1, 2017, expiration date.

The RNC appealed, saying that its decades-long compliance and good faith should justify ending the consent decree.”

So it ends next year?

I would focus the efforts on getting the states that formed Trump’s majority to correct their election systems...plus possibly New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada, Minnesota, Virginia and New Mexico. That would form a solid block of electoral votes that would always overcome the California, New York, Massachusetts, Illinois block.

It just got extended for another 4 or 8 years.

It got extended for four years from December 2013:

In deciding the case, which stems from a 2008 lawsuit brought by the DNC, the district court clarified ballot security efforts as “any program aimed at combating voter fraud by preventing potential voters from registering to vote or casting a ballot,” and upheld the consent decree while adding a Dec. 1, 2017, expiration date.
The RNC appealed, saying that its decades-long compliance and good faith should justify ending the consent decree.
The Third Circuit upheld the district court’s decision and modification, saying that just because the RNC had largely complied with the order, the “mere passage of time” does not count as a change of facts that would warrant lifting the order.

Me too.

I don’t think they KNOW they’re potentially going there!

But they will be shocked.

Liberals never see it coming and then look back and wonder why it happened.

From the brennan center: DNC v. RNC Consent Decree November 5, 2016 In 1982, after caging in predominantly African-American and Latino neighborhoods, the Republican National Committee and New Jersey Republican State Committee entered into a consent decree with their Democratic party counterparts. Under that decree and its 1987 successor, the Republican party organizations agreed to allow a federal court to review proposed “ballot security” programs, including any proposed voter caging. The consent decree has been invoked several times, by the parties to the decree and by others. In late 2008, the Democratic National Committee and Obama for America sought to enforce the consent decree, claiming that the RNC had not submitted alleged ballot security operations for review. After the election, the RNC asked the federal court to vacate or substantially modify the decree. The court denied the RNC's motion to vacate the consent decree and ordered the decree remain in effect until December 2017. The RNC then appealed to the Third Circuit, which unanimously rejected the appeal and affirmed the District Court's decision. A subsequent petition for rehearing en banc by the full Third Circuit, and a certiorari petition to U.S. Supreme Court, were denied. On October 26, 2016, the DNC filed a motion asking that the court find the RNC had violated the decree. On November 5, after abbreviated discovery, the district court denied the DNC’s request, ruling that the DNC had not provided sufficient evidence of coordination between the Trump campaign and the RNC on ballot-security operations, but will allow the DNC to offer further evidence after the election.

There’ll be two more appeals, the last to SCOTUS.

And don't forget "Summertime Blues"!

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he said "Whoa!"
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
