Do any of these civilian oversight guys perhaps also provide oversight of procurement activities? My mind immediately went to Trump pushing through emergency no-bid contract spending to his friends / family after having previously purged the defense inspectors general and now completely gutting all of the military civilian oversight and replacing with his cronies.

You very well could be correct. I would congratulate you but that carries an implied insult-that you can think more like Trump than I'm capable of.

Any day now... We're seeing the warning signs every day with the nonstop violence....
In case you missed it the president is currently pressuring the governor of Georgia to overthrow the results of the election in his state.

This isn’t a ‘warning sign’, it is an attempted coup in progress. Even if it fails, that’s what it is.

well, that one group of hillbillies is in prison, at least (or weren't they released on bond by some republican fascist donations?) after planning to kidnap and execute the governor of Michigan because....that's what peaceful rightwingers do....so at least some of the very real people that very obviously and inarguably would be sowing violence and murder on the streets right now are already locked up.

But then, there is GA, where the same rightwingers are threatening election board members and their families. You know, because that's what sociopathic republicans do.

Saw Kemp on Fox, looks like he's starting to knuckle under. You thought hanging chads were bad? Wait, till they start the "is that the person's signature" committees.
I registered to vote in 1968, in the same county I am currently registered in. I think it is safe to say that my signature has probably changed considerably in 52 years.

I took a mostly refreshing break from the news the past two weeks.

Can someone please bring me up to speed on the recent shenanigans? Are things still ratcheting up in terms of the crazy rhetoric?

I can't wait till 74 million Trumpanzees are not missed by this forum!

Can we stop with the "Trumpanzees" crap? Dehumanising your opponents is a classic extremist tactic, meant to make it easier to attack and discredit your opponents, or to justify awful abuse against them.

I'd much rather see the Left take Trump supporters seriously, and demolish their bullshit with facts.

Facts? Please let me know why the left is so opposed to freedom of speech? That is a core principle of our country and democracy as a whole. It's the same tactics that are used in N Korea and China. That's your party. The msm has become the propaganda machine of the communist left. If you'll enlighten me on the facts of why this is acceptable I'll listen.

Who specifically is the communist left? What specific policies are they advocating that are communist in nature? Where specifically is your actual evidence of massive fraud to give Biden the election?

I asked about freedom of speech dumbass. Tell me how suppression of opposing views is a healthy thing to do. Anytime your party lines up on an issue with N Korea or China then most rational adults would stop and ask themselves what the fuck is happening.

I prefer magatarians, because they're still american, but good luck with demolishing their bs with facts. I applaud your optimism, but if anything the last half century has taught us, facts don't matter

How specifically is your freedom of speech as defined in the constitution being repressed by anyone?

Oh I don't know... Maybe the fact the left will blackball you from being able to make a living if you oppose their views. Being attacked, or having your head blown off, on the streets because you support Trump. The msm has colluded to suppress information that undermines the propaganda machine. Social media has also colluded to suppress information and push their agenda.
I don't even know why I try to reason with someone like yourself who supports this kind of shit. If you can't see the harm in a society that suppresses freedom of speech you are clearly a person devoid of a soul.

This is freedom of association, a right also guaranteed by the first amendment. You have no right to force people to do business with you if they find your views objectionable. Why would you?

Uhmmm, if anything it looks like Trump supporters are doing most of the ideologically motivated killings.

Even if this ludicrous conspiracy fantasy were true the media has the right to publish whatever it wants, as guaranteed by the first amendment.

You have no right to tell a private company what it must publish on its own property.

It sure sounds like what you want is freedom of speech without taking any responsibility for your speech, which is a child’s view of freedom.

You have the right to say anything you want. That comes with consequences though, some of that may be that people no longer want to associate with you, it could also mean private corporations find your content contrary to their objectives and will decline to carry it. This is what being an adult is all about - freedom and responsibility.

We get it, you don't like to admit that for years you've been supporting a man that has proven himself to be a full blown fascist and that makes you a Nazi. But that's just how it is. He's trying to commit a coup and you supported this fascist piece of shit for years.

In 4+ years of dealing with Trump's cult, I've never seen a single on of these Nazi fucks be an adult.

No individual, no government agency, has suppressed your Constitutional right to prove you are one dumb stupid ass trumphumper.
