There are loads of other threads. But MN aren't highlighting them. Why not? I demand to know.

Disney boss delivers warning to Donald Trump on trade and migration

"We're going to look at it very, very carefully," Trump said of voter fraud in an interview with Fox News that aired Sunday. "It has to do with the registration, and when you look at the registration and you see dead people that have voted."

Why are people even listening to this??? It makes no sense. These "dead people" did not register AFTER they died. They were registered PRIOR to their death. And they may still be registered (because let's face it, when a loved one dies, many don't think about their voting registration), they sure didn't VOTE after they died. This is not new. This has been around for YEARS.

gish gallop: Warren Conway, appropriating grief, economical with the truth on voter fraud. I

Chucking so much shit at us, it's difficult to keep the focus. Head fuckery.
Need to choose one and go after it, relentlessly, regardless of internecine civil war in the opposition.

The economy might be the best bet, with the number of firms standing up to him. Same with brexit.

"It's the economy stupid," worked last time.

Since December, this crack in an Antarctica ice shelf has grown by the length of about five football fields each day

That's because the Antarctica ice shelf is getting too big for her snow boots.

True story too

She'll soon be cut down to size.

More seriously, it's not really known the significance of it

PausingFlatly · 08/02/2017 09:42

You've just made me think, Ginger.

I didn't cancel my uncle's vote when he died. But his local council will have sent a voter registration renewal card to his address in time for the referendum and any other vote. The new occupants will have filled it in and returned it, and the council will have taken my uncle off the register as no longer registered to vote at that address. Job done.

"We're going to look at it very, very carefully," Trump said of voter fraud in an interview with Fox News that aired Sunday. "It has to do with the registration, and when you look at the registration and you see dead people that have voted."

But, aren't they destroying the Election Commission?

Who will investigate?

Or will the conclusion be whatever the Great Orange Leader thinks it is?

Iran (not second but before Iraq)

Lweji · 08/02/2017 09:50

It's not only a Disney boss, he's also a member of Trump's business council.

"Bob Iger, a member of the new president's business council"

Of course Disney doesn't want a trade war with China. Which business in the US wants that?
Or with any other major business partner.
And consumers may well find out that they don't want either, but then prices of goods may well have soared.

Lweji · 08/02/2017 09:55

Notice the size of Iran against Iraq.
If Iraq was difficult, imagine ever going to war IN Iran...

GingerIvy · 08/02/2017 09:58

Lweji Exactly - this scattershot approach seems to be befuddling many, distracting many. But the problem is that every direction they are going DOES need attention. We're just putting out fires on the edges, rather than attacking the main fire. It's frustrating.

Senators seek congressional veto power over President Trump on Russia cnn.it/2k0nOH1

GingerIvy · 08/02/2017 10:16

That's interesting - is Putin and Russia the way to get Congress back on track and out from under Trump's thumb??

Lweji · 08/02/2017 10:20

Maybe.
Russia is an old foe.
It's odd that Trump wants to get closer.
Or rather, not so odd if you think Trump is compromised.
