The Reign of Trump

Could the reign of Trumpcunt die before it starts?

Hillary Clinton urged to call for election vote recount in battleground states

Alleged irregularities in key states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin prompt demands for audit amid concerns over ‘foreign hackers’

A growing number of academics and activists are calling for US authorities to fully audit or recount the 2016 presidential election vote in key battleground states, in case the results could have been skewed by foreign hackers.

The loose coalition, which is urging Hillary Clinton’s campaign to join its fight, is preparing to deliver a report detailing its concerns to congressional committee chairs and federal authorities early next week, according to two people involved.

The document, which is currently 18 pages long, focuses on concerns about the results in the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

“I’m interested in verifying the vote,” said Dr Barbara Simons, an adviser to the US election assistance commission and expert on electronic voting. “We need to have post-election ballot audits.” Simons is understood to have contributed analysis to the effort but declined to characterise the precise nature of her involvement.

A second group of analysts, led by the National Voting Rights Institute founder John Bonifaz and Professor Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan’s center for computer security and society, is also taking part in the push for a review, and has been in contact with Simons. Bonifaz declined to speak on the record.

The developments follow Clinton’s surprise defeat to Donald Trump in the 8 November vote, and come after US intelligence authorities released public assessments that Russian hackers were behind intrusions into regional electoral computer systems and the theft of emails from Democratic officials before the election.

In Wisconsin 300 000 were turned away from polls due to no proper address in papers they had

So who tampered with the voting machines? The GOP? They hated him. Certainly not Hillary, though if she used the sort of programmers who came up with the ACA they could have gotten it backwards. Trump himself? How'd he manage that?

[Tero]

Paul Ryan secretely supported Trump as he now gets to strip Obamacare, medicare and social security. Wisconsin is run by the GOP ever since they started with eliminating federal and state worker unions.

Ryan and Walker, the dynamic duo
Right to work[edit]

In 2012, regarding right-to-work legislation, Walker told reporters at the state Republican Party convention that "It's not going to get to my desk ... I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure it isn't there because my focal point (is) private sector unions have overwhelmingly come to the table to be my partner in economic development."[149] While campaigning for re-election in 2014, Walker again said he had no plans to pursue right-to-work legislation focused on private unions.[150]

Once the legislation was initiated in the state legislature, Walker stated: "I haven't changed my position on it, it just wasn't a priority for me. But should they pass it within the next two weeks, which is their target, I plan on signing it."[150] On March 9, 2015, Walker signed legislation making Wisconsin a right-to-work state.[151] The law applied to private employee unions as well as public.[152] Once signed, Walker claimed partial credit for the right-to-work law.[152] Politifact.com rated Walker's position on right-to-work as a "major reversal of position."[149]

Three trade unions, including the AFL-CIO, subsequently sued to get the law overturned as unconstitutional. In March 2015, the court declined the unions' request to put the law on hold until the lawsuit is settled.

Hillary Clinton now 2 million votes ahead of Donald Trump

Democrat's lead over the President-elect reaches margin of 1.5 per cent

Donald Trump continues to spend his days ensconced in Trump Tower as he puts together his government. All the while, the lead enjoyed over him in the popular vote by his rival Hillary Clinton, continues to grow.

On Wednesday, it emerged that Ms Clinton’s margin of victory over Mr Trump in the popular vote had now passed two million people.

Dave Wasserman of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, said Ms Clinton had now collected 64,223,958 votes, compared to Mr Trump’s 62,206,395.

Ms Clinton’s scale of victory over Mr Trump in the popular vote is larger than the previous occasions in US history where the person who won the popular vote, lost the Electoral College.

Other presidential hopefuls who won the popular vote but lost the election include Democrat Al Gore in 2000, Democratic-Republican Andrew Jackson in 1824, Democrat Samuel Tilden in 1876 and Democrat Grover Cleveland in 1888.

Before this year, Mr Gore had the record for presidential losers who won the popular vote. He beat Republican George W Bush by 543,816.
....
A week after his historic election, Mr Trump tweeted: “The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different!”

In 2012, he appeared to have a different view.

“The Electoral College is a disaster for a democracy,” Mr Trump said, when Mr Obama beat Mitt Romney.

A white nationalist conferenced headed by Neo-Nazi Richard Spencer that took place over the weekend in DC was the talk of CNN on Monday night.

During Don Lemon’s panel, he brought the discussion to his guests. Lemon introduced the conversation as one about the alt-right’s conference, though was quick to suggest that the term is really a signifier for white supremacists who have just rebranded.

The Trump team released a statement in response to the clip of white nationalists chanting, “Heil Trump, Heil our people, Heil Victory,” stating that the President-Elect denounces racism and that he will be a leader for “every American.” The statement also suggested, “to think otherwise is a complete misrepresentation of the movement.”

Former White House staff assistant David Gergen called out Trump’s statement as weak. He said, “Donald Trump is trying to have it both ways here. I don’t think he’ll be successful. On one hand, he puts out statements denying there’s any racism, sexism or any other things we all find so abhorrent in his administration.”

So true.

[Animavore]

You can learn everything you need to know about the “alt-right” by looking at the man who popularized its name. Credit goes to Richard Spencer, head of the white supremacist National Policy Institute (NPI), and one of the country’s leading contemporary advocates of ideological racism.

The weekend before Thanksgiving, Spencer keynoted an NPI conference in Washington, D.C. Over the course of his speech, he approvingly quoted Nazi propaganda, said that the United States is meant to be a “white country,” and suggested that many political commentators are “soulless golem” controlled by Jewish media interests.

That, in a nutshell, is the face of the so-called alt-right. As Spencer himself has said, the core of alt-right ideology is the preservation of “white identity.”

So you might wonder what, if anything, distinguishes the alt-right from more hidebound racist movements such as the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan. The answer is very little, except for a bit of savvy branding and a fondness for ironic Twitter memes. Spencer and his ilk are essentially standard-issue white supremacists who discovered a clever way to make themselves appear more innocuous — even a little hip.

A reporter’s job is to describe the world as it is, with clarity and accuracy. Use of the term “alt-right,” by concealing overt racism, makes that job harder.

tl:dr In other words call the Alt Right what they are; Nazis.

Alten Reich.

Just got my IRA statement for last month, value increased over $5000, and checked my little bit of stock and it's worth $500 more than it was yesterday. So in the last month I've made damn near 10 Gs on two very minor investments without doing a bloody thing.

If this keeps up I might turn into a Trumpanzee.

Move your money to a money market fund well before swearing in day.

[cronus]

I thought alt. right was from usenet? I recall the political groups and alt. right was very much spouting exactly the same retarded extreme right wing memes as a obscure political group as it is now controlling the only remaining superpower.

Yeah that's the big question, innit? When to pull it out. He he he he. He said "pull it out". He he he he.

[Tero]

Trump is going to pull out lots of times before you do.
