Ron Bulman Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 3 hours ago, Steve Thomas said: Texas GOP Governor Abbott to deploy 1000 National Guard troops for election By David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement October 26, 2020 https://www.rawstory.com/2020/10/texas-gop-governor-abbott-to-deploy-1000-national-guard-troops-for-election/ “The Texas Army National Guard said Monday it had been ordered to dispatch 1,000 troops to five major cities around the state in conjunction with the Nov. 3 election,” MySanAntonio.com reports. “We have not been asked to go to any polling locations as of yet. Now that could change, leading up to the election or after the election,” a Texas Army National Guard spokesperson says. Abbott has not released any information on this plan which some see as authoritarian voter intimidation. The Texas governor is already under fire after reducing ballot boxes to just one per county.” San Antonio election updates: Abbott to order 1,000 troops to Texas cities during election By Staff, Mark Dunphy, Priscilla Aguirre, Madalyn Mendoza, Sig Christenson Oct. 22, 2020 Updated: Oct. 26, 2020 https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/politics/article/San-Antonio-election-updates-Abbott-to-order-15664157.php October 26 “Guard troops ordered to S.A.: The Texas Army National Guard said Monday it had been ordered to dispatch 1,000 troops to five major cities around the state in conjunction with the Nov. 3 election, including San Antonio. The guard in recent weeks had told the San Antonio Express-News that its commander, Maj. Gen. Tracy Norris, had been asked to draft contingency plans in case of trouble at polling places in major cities around the state.” Steve Thomas Glad I've already voted. I guess the troops will be available if any proud boys try to intimidate or otherwise interfere with voters, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Varnell Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Fact-checking claims about Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and China | PolitiFact Foreign policy experts say these allegations do not add up to a picture of Joe Biden being corrupt or pursuing policies contrary to the national interest. https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/elections/2020/10/21/fact-checking-claims-about-hunter-biden-joe-biden-and-china-politifact/ The documentary never says that either Biden broke the law, but its pairing of the Bidens with Chinese figures charged with espionage and other crimes, punctuated by spooky music, might give a viewer that impression. However, there is no evidence that Hunter Biden came close to breaking the law, much less any evidence that his father has done so. </q> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bulman Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Well, they did it. Defied the American will in essence. Since they did it the natural response is two new justices would still leave a 6-5 conservative majority. So go for four. Too big of an outcry, won't work. Wait for a conservative to die. Meanwhile... this requires the Presidency and the Senate. Edited October 27, 2020 by Ron Bulman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone please tell me how to put a member on "ignore" on this forum? I'm, generally, a tolerant, open-minded person who believes in a free, civil exchange of ideas, but I've finally had enough of Wheeler's nonsense. Anyone who really believes that it is fair and reasonable for Mitch McConnell and the slim GOP Senate majority to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the SCOTUS eight days before an election, after blocking Merrick Garland's confirmation for 300 days, on the grounds that 2016 was an election year, is not someone I care to converse with. This is not an occasion for gloating. It's, frankly, a travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
