Gerrymandering status
This is a good summary of the status of election maps in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Maryland and North Carolina.
No moral leadership
Trump failed to provide moral leadership for the country again during the Rob Porter news.
He finally said something about domestic violence today but initially all he could do was praise Porter and not mention Porter’s ex-wives at all. That showed his real thoughts. Of course, Trump has been accused of similar actions by over a dozen women. I believe them women. Trump lies all the time.
Porter said he’s innocent.
Roy Moore says he’s innocent.
Putin says he’s innocent.
Trump says he’s innocent.
Notice a pattern? To me, Trump’s worst moment was when he said the white supremacists in Charlottesville included “very fine people”. His comments about “shithole countries” are right behind it.
The president should be a role model. This one is a despicable human being. Sad!
White House liars
One reason for Trump’s immigration policies
Trump still doesn’t believe Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
There are two issues:
- Did Russia interfere in the 2016 election? There appears to be no doubt about that unless you’re a Trump supporter.
- Did Trump win because of Russian interference? I would never say that. We have no idea how many voters were swayed by Russian propaganda. Trump was elected. That’s a fact. No matter what we find out about Russian activities and any possible cooperation from the Trump campaign, he still won.
Here’s an explanation of ways Russia has attacked our elections.
Trump’s attitude makes it hard to prevent future Russian interference. Sad!
What did he pay her for?
He still didn’t explain why he gave Daniels the money. He said it was a “private transaction”. Sad!
The Pennsylvania governor rejected the latest map
Russia will interfere in the 2018 elections
US intelligence chiefs agree that Russia will meddle in the 2018 elections. Too bad Trump doesn’t agree with them. He won’t even impose the sanctions on Russia passed overwhelmingly in Congress. Sad!
