Meanwhile, in NC, nothing to see here—move along:
During the count, a number of ‘protesters’ appeared before the county BOEs with allegations of voter fraud by individuals who they said were ineligible due to felonies and other matters. In every case, the county BOEs rejected these challenges because they weren’t factual or they were quickly proven to be untrue.
After the first protests were rejected, the county BOEs were flooded with hundreds more protests that appeared to come from a ‘mill’ that was stamping them out with a ‘cookie cutter.’…
The state BOE called an Emergency Meeting on Sunday November 20, where Josh Malcolm, the Board’s Democratic member dropped a bombshell. The ‘mill’ that was stamping out cookie cutter’ challenges. naming hundreds of voters as ineligible was the state Board, itself.
Specifically, the Board’s Information Technology Director, accessed the state’s database to gather information that he used to fabricate challenges against voters which he sent to the county BOEs. The other Board members at the meeting admitted that they knew about his actions and absolved themselves of any responsibility.

Trump is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, you know…
He’s “award-winning”.
If you just sit there and let this kind of thing become normal, then you might as well be pulling the trigger yourself.
— Kragar (@Kragar_LGF) November 22, 2016
The economic terrorism legislation being proffered by the guy from Washington is truly terrifying. Consider if this was in effect today:
1) the protesters of the North Dakota pipeline could be charged under that law, and face massive fines - for peacefully protesting. Those who support the protesters would likewise be subject to the same.
2) protesting Trump and blocking streets would be tantamount to economic terrorism.
3) protesting the cop-killing of unarmed civilians by blocking streets could also be chargeable as economic terrorism for harming local economies.
None of this is good, and the GOP thinks that protests only arise on the left? Perhaps they ignore that the Bundy extremists would also be charged under the same law - blocking access to Malheur NWS harmed the economy, as did blocking highways and preventing access to grazing lands in NV.
No, this is a bad law - and a bad idea that addresses a problem that doesn’t exist except in the minds of authoritarians - that protest is in itself a bad thing that must be squashed. And because Trump is of an authoritarian bent, he’ll likely get behind this craziness.
re: #1 electrotek

But remember, these people were afraid of Hillary for what she supposedly did to HER enemies.
So the story is floating around that the Obamas are going to lease/buy a place in Rancho Mirage. For those unaccustomed to Southern California, that is southeast of Palm Springs, along the Andreas fault system, just north of the San Diego/Imperial counties line with Riverside county.
If so, I find that a bit strange. Sure, they can lease/buy a place on a lot large enough the SS will be able to have room to set up posts, but I never took them as the desert resort kind of couple.
It is a region though in which Presidents retire. It’s upscale, lots of old celebs and people who want the desert life but don’t want to be in AZ.

re: #7 Kragar
Trump, in a highly offensive, unprecedented posture that comes as no surprise, announced that Nigel Farage, another Putinite, would be his preferred British ambassador to the United States. It is all way off. It is my strong suspicion that Putin will be taking advantage of the interim period, and of Trump’s successes and his failures - and that he has big plans around about the time of the 2018 World Cup. He chose his own Winter Olympics for an attack on Ukraine and the Beijing Olympics for an attack on Georgia and managed press attention adeptly that way. It would be really, really good for the world if it is at all possible for anyone else, say Kanye fkn West, to be president asap, because we don’t know scary like they do in some places, yet.
re: #14 lawhawk
Of course authoritarians like Giuliani, David Clarke and the North Dakota LEOs will also rally behind this 110%.
Rancho Mirage is not known to be a progressive city…
Rancho Mirage pot laws revised after Prop. 64 passage
Rancho Mirage reaffirmed its ban on medical marijuana dispensaries Thursday and expanded its prohibition to include recreational pot and all forms of pot manufacturing, processing and testing within city limits.
Council also tightened the reins on cultivation. While Proposition 64 allows for up to six marijuana plants per household to be grown indoors only, the city’s ordinance adds that those plants must be kept out of public view.
“They can’t be seen from a public street or sidewalk,” City Attorney Steve Quintanilla said.
[…]
That region of Riverside County is mostly dominated by retirees, the country club set, and desert rats. If Obama goes playing golf at his local club I’m sure he’ll run into more than one Bircher.

re: #22 Kragar
Surprising? Hardly. They trusted Trump, who lies about everything, no matter how inconsequential, and his supporters crowed about how he was trusted and told more and better truths than Clinton who was a criminal and liar (and far worse).
Reality is a harsh mistress - and the reality is that Trump was and remains a liar. Clinton isn’t nearly the criminal or liar she was ever made out to be by the cottage industry dedicated to destroying her.
Trump’s going to learn what it’s like to answer to an electorate that wants to be fed.

Handy dandy question/flowchart:
1) Is the US or a state/local government doing the restricting of your speech?
2) If answer is yes, this is a potential 1A violation.
3) If no, then this is not a 1A violation.
If a company is booting people from its service (dumping comments, banning violators for harassment, trolling, posting white supremacist/neo Nazi statements, anti-Semitic slurs, bigoted/racist claptrap), this isn’t a 1A violation. Your 1A rights aren’t violated, because a government wasn’t involved in restricting your rights.

re: #36 Jebediah, RBG
Repeat something enough, and enough people believe it.
For instance - Clinton isn’t likeable.
Oh really?
Going back to 1991, Hillary has always been at or above 49% likeable. Just after entering the race in 2015, her favorability rating was at 59%. It tumbled ever since - mostly because the smear/whisper campaign against her began in earnest.
Don’t doubt for a moment that her rating will go back up - and likely climb much higher than the 59% before she entered.
President-elect Trump just submitted himself to just under an hour of tough questions from us. It was revealing, civil & productive.

Hillary doesn’t want and almost certainly wouldn’t accept a pardon. She knows that the guaranteed best way for Trump to immediately destroy his own administration would be to target the overwhelming popular vote winner for a politically based prosecution.

If Trump came right out and said he was going to push for the Clintons to be prosecuted when he takes office…he would force Obama to fast track a pardon or make the Clintons get ready to flee the country and seek political asylum
So he is being coy about it.
