What is happening with Drumpfskind and his movement is not unique to the US.

I posted, as I have before, about Australia’s One Nation party and their overt atavism and know-nothing essence.

But there is a wider movement in Australia beyond the One Nation party, and the Republican-equivalent of the Australian political scene, which now run the government, is now offering this:

Australia Expects to Resettle Hundreds of Refugees Elsewhere

Australia will find another country to resettle hundreds of asylum seekers now held on poor Pacific islands, a minister said Tuesday as his government planned to banish for life refugees who arrive by boat.

[…]

Australia refuses to resettle any refugee who has arrived by boat since the date the tough policy was announced, July 19, 2013.

The government also introduced to Parliament legislation that would ban such refugees from ever visiting Australia as a tourist, to do business or as an Australian’s spouse.

“This legislation sends a strong message to people smugglers and those considering traveling illegally to Australia by boat that Australia’s borders are now stronger than ever,” Dutton told Parliament.

[…]

Australia has rejected a New Zealand offer to resettle 150 refugees. One of Australia’s reasons is that those refugees could then become New Zealand citizens and be entitled to live in Australia without a visa under the rules of the close bilateral relationship.

[…]

Yup, you read that correctly.

Of course the great hypocrisy is that these Austalians’ ancestors themselves arrived by boat. Either as desperate people looking for work and a life, or as prisoners.

Here I will remind us all again that Murdoch came from Australia. And Ken Ham.

Some of the refugees may come the US. Here they can become citizens. But under the proposed law they will be banned for life from entering Australia.

“Yes, I would just like to say I’m sailing with the rock, and I’ll be back, like Independence Day, with Jesus. June 6, like the movie. Big mother ship and all, I’ll be back, I’ll be back.”

i had the occasion years ago to collect some writings of psychotics - sometimes they xerox them and distribute them - and other people have done the same - you can find some in the famous novel ‘labyrinth’ by julio cortazar

i was attracted by the vivid, surrealistically nightmarish yet logical quality of it. certainly the actual surrealists strove for dream-logic imagery. somebody left a flyer under windshield wipers in nyc in 1970 ‘explaining’ the true meaning of the names of well known persons: spiro agnew, for example, meant “a newt red egg, the spiral steps that lead to the crematorium”

other charictaristics include disjointed and impulsive syntax, driven by an obsessed mind that is overmastered by its internal demons that won’t let it rest. because these are not happy people. they are unquiet like the unlaid ghosts of gothic horror stories.

disjointed, unhappy, obsessed - are you catching my drift? have you too been feeling that creepy feeling you get when you realize that you are listening to the ravings of a crazy person?

what would happen if the entire united states, even the entire world, were compelled by circumstances to repeatedly listen to the disorganized, compulsive, disjointed, nightmarish ravings of a disordered mind for some 15, 16 months or so? what would it do to us all?

Asked about the treatment of asylum seekers, 37 per cent said the government was taking the right approach, compared with 24 per cent who said it was too soft and 23 per cent who said it was too tough.

Well, if lifetime ban isn’t enough for the refugees, what does that 24% want to do with them?

If Clinton had really long coattails then Grassley may have been outed, but alas, he is one of the most sure things in the Senate races this year.

Yeah, Texas going blue would be something, but the last few Texas polls had Trump up double digits. I don’t see it happening this time around.

Night gang. I went and signed up with Planet Fitness this evening, I’m don’t plan on getting back to my “Army Shape” but some cardio and circuit training will do me a world of good. It’s only 10 bucks a month, very nice facility, and I swung by there about 5 this evening since it’s their heaviest time and they were busy, but not where you’d have to wait in line on the machines.> Figure it will be a good way to start the day, then the coffee shop, then work. (nice having a job where I don’t have to be until 10, and we’re open from 11 am - 7 pm.

Besides, they have free pizza on Monday nights.

As I peruse Australian politicians and their remarks, I notice that it isn’t just Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party that has gone off the deep end, but part of the ruling coalition too.

I can never keep all these parties sorted out, but the Australian Liberal party appears to be not so much:

George Christensen hits back at ‘elitist’ Coalition colleague Russell Broadbent over Islam speech

New divisions within the Coalition have emerged over the place of Islam in Australia, as controversial Queensland MP George Christensen accused a Victorian colleague of being part of Parliament’s “elitist set”.

Victorian Liberal Russell Broadbent used a speech to Parliament on Monday to express regret for not immediately criticising a speech Mr Christensen made in September, calling it a “diatribe about the rise of Islam” and accusing the Queensland National MP of “cuddling up to Hansonite rhetoric”.

[…]

Mr Christensen hit back on Tuesday, saying Mr Broadbent was like other “politically correct hand wringers” in Parliament.

“Mr Broadbent is part of the elitist set here in Canberra that we find on all sides of politics,” he wrote on Facebook.

[…]

Here’s LIberal party, ruling coalition member George Christiansen’s Facebook page:

facebook.com

And yes, it is what one would expect of a Drumpfskind type here in this country.

Here’s his most recent post, in regards to the story linked herein:

Facebook Post

Note the commenters:

Peter Barr Again, well said George, Russell seems to have forgotten that he is “elected” and is supposed to be the voice of his “electorate” not the voice of what is going on in his demented mind; I and a vast majority of Aussies totally agree with your sentiments regarding “radical Islam” and the disgusting push for Sharia Law and the biggest hoodwink in our history “Halal Certification”
Don’t let them silence you George !

HALAL!!

Exactly. She’s happy to be there.

And we are done! Well played event.

She Who Must Be Obeyed has got a long planned, lucrative gig out past Lake Travis tomorrow. It was scheduled eight months out, and she is a bit upset that we won’t be together, since we first met on Ann Richards’ election night in 1990 (and have been together ever since) and this will be the first time apart in 26 years we have not been together to watch returns.

I have been instructed to get a decent bottle of champagne (probably a Chandon Brut) for happy dances and a 1.75L of The Famous Grouse (mostly for me), if things go south.

Sweet dreams, all. It’s going to be a hell of a day. Let’s all hope that the innate goodness of the American people will push them to vote for the best interest of the country and for the best possible future of the Republic.

We can see on-line if we are registered, but not if our ballot is received. That said, I turned my ballot in directly to the county clerk herself.

As for Federal minimum standards, they would instantly run afoul of the constitution, which specifically notes states run elections.

Something I noted for next month’s village board meeting (we will swear in new members after the election); the village clerk lives in Scottsbluff sixty miles away. She will go home early tomorrow so she can vote (Scott’s Bluff County does not have mail voting in the cities).

If the issue comes up, I will remind the board Nebraska state law requires employers to pay employees who go out to vote.

That’s what makes my schedule for this week so awesome. By the time I get off at 7EST, the polls will have been open for an hour so I should be able to stop on the way home and get my vote out of the way. Then I can go home, grab a few hours of sleep, and be awake in time for the first returns to start trickling in. Personally, I expect it all to be over way before midnight, when they call either NC, FL, or OH for Hillary.

Don’t know how many of you watch the Supergirl series on CW, but this new season has introduced a police detective (pictured at right) who is openly lesbian. Supergirl’s adoptive sister (at left) seems attracted to Detective Sanders, but Sanders has a GF already.

Anyway, it seems some parents are complaining that the show is no longer “family friendly” because Sanders and her squeeze kissed on camera — a “hello, dear” kiss not a passionate, “let’s get it on” kiss.

Adequate testing is also becoming a problem.

A visible problem in Colorado has been the illicit home grown cannabis extract market which has resulted in an increased number of accidental explosions in private residences. It’s crazy in Colorado when it comes to cannabis compared to the rest of the nation, crazy. We’re trying to regulate every kind of cannabis and every delivery system. As it stands you can purchase one gram of cannabis oil that’s 90% THC when smoked for about $40. For comparison, the best raw buds test at maybe 20% THC if it’s grown in Alaska by a crazy hermit who’s been doing it for 20 years.

The extraction method to obtain the 90% THC oil involves intense heat and pressure. When rigged at a private residence explosions are common.

I am happy to report that Colorado is still a stable chunk of society.

Former Philippine dictator Marcos to get hero’s burial decades after his death

The Philippine Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for a hero’s burial for former dictator Ferdinand Marcos, resolving an issue that has divided the nation since his death in 1989, three years after he was ousted in a “people power” revolt.

Voting 9-5, the Supreme Court threw out petitions filed by leftist activists and victims of human rights abuses, ruling that President Rodrigo Duterte was within his powers to order that Marcos be buried in the heroes’ cemetery, south of Manila.

A visible problem in Colorado has been the illicit home grown cannabis extract market which has resulted in an increased number of accidental explosions in private residences. It’s crazy in Colorado when it comes to cannabis compared to the rest of the nation, crazy. We’re trying to regulate every kind of cannabis and every delivery system. As it stands you can purchase one gram of cannabis oil that’s 90% THC when smoked for about $40. For comparison, the best raw buds test at maybe 20% THC if it’s grown in Alaska by a crazy hermit who’s been doing it for 20 years.

The extraction method to obtain the 90% THC oil involves intense heat and pressure. When rigged at a private residence explosions are common.

This ( A New Approach to Covering Election Day ) got a little bit of notice a couple of days ago:

Will Slate’s Election Day vote projections ruin democracy? We’ve had this debate before

Of course, there is no research yet on the effect of exactly what Slate and VoteCastr are doing — because no one has done it before. But in the debate about whether it will suppress turnout and take a toll on democracy, it is worth remembering that we have had a similar debate before — and that what was once deemed irresponsible by some soon became the norm.

So I guess we’ll all be checking Slate during the day to see how their little bit of magic works.

Or not.

This is the site that is supposed to go live later today:

There are too many unknowns for us to be able say with confidence that what we think is happening in the present will continue to happen in the future. It’s entirely possible, for instance, that Trump voters will be more likely to cast their ballots in the morning and that Clinton voters will be more likely to cast theirs in the evening—or vice versa. There just isn’t enough historical data to give us meaningful insight on that type of voter behavior. Over the course of the day, we expect Clinton’s and Trump’s respective shares of the total vote in each state to shift as turnout waxes in some areas and wanes in others.

In other words, the horse race minute by minute, by each turn on race course.

FOX was calling the election as close, but Rove simply didn’t want to believe it.

And I like how they spun the information:

35 years ago, legacy media organizations collectively agreed to withhold election day data from their audiences. They decided it was too dangerous for the public to handle. Politicians agreed with this, believing real time data and projections would keep voters away from the polls and skew the outcome.

Too dangerous? The first half of that paragraph is twaddle. There is plenty of data from the time that showed calling elections before the polls closed depresses voter turn out in Mountain, Pacific, and Alaska/Hawai’i timezones, with deleterious results on local and statewide elections.

Almost 122,000 people already had voted by Monday morning and before Election Day polling locations were to open Tuesday.

About 130,000 people voted in the 2012 general election, breaking the record set in 2008 by about 10,000 votes.

North Dakota Secretary of State Al Jaeger says there are still about 13,000 absentee and mail-in ballots that have not been returned. And some early voting precincts, including one in Bismarck, were open until Monday night.

For example:

North Dakota poised to break record for early voting

Yet no one expects ND to be won by Clinton.

C’mon now, let’s not be too pessimistic. All we need is Evan McMuffin, or whatever his name is, to split the GOP vote, Jill Stein to collapse from 2% to 0.5% and… yeah, maybe you’ve got a point there.

238

Anymouse Nov 8, 2016 • 3:25:00am

re: #236 freetoken

Well, some of the record-breaking could be from simple population increase. More adults yields more voters.

I don’t suspect Mrs. Clinton will come within fifteen points of Mr. Trump in North Dakota. (Still, ND leans more to the left than my own House district, where Mrs. Clinton will get my vote and my wife’s vote and maybe five or six others.)

There’s more to the analysis than simply “more people turned out,” but “where they turned out.”

Florida for example had a massive increase in Latino voters. That doesn’t necessarily mean they all voted as a bloc for Mrs. Clinton. Some of this is just educated guesswork by pollsters and pundits.

re: #221 nickzi

I believe we are going to win this election comfortably - but then the real work begins. We must hold the Republican party to account for its racism, bigotry, corruption and attempts to steal elections by vote suppression. We must ensure that their sordid gang of crooks, racists, bigots and enablers is incapable of winning power. That is an obligation that we have to the American people and humanity at large and we dare not fail them. Organize, organize, organize!

Democrats need to do a better job of fighting against GOP voter suppression tactics. It feels as if we only talk about them during national elections. We should be talking about them and fighting them every single day.

re: #239 Patricia Kayden

Democrats need to do a better job of fighting against GOP voter suppression tactics. It feels as if we only talk about them during national elections. We should be talking about them and fighting them every single day.

The problem is in those close states where the GOP holds legislative majorities. We have no such voter suppression rules here in Nebraska; it is just as easy to vote here as it is in Oregon.

To get a handle on those tactics where they are occurring, the Democrats need to flip a couple of the swing states from Red to Blue. (For example, if North Carolina were to oust its GOP majority today, I suspect tearing down some of the restrictive voter laws will be on the plate.)

Moreover, gerrymandering makes it worse, and with the Census in 2020, the GOTV effort in 2018 (an off-year) will be important to make sure state legislatures have a better chance of reversing gerrymandering.

Conventional wisdom says Democrats fail to turn out in as large numbers in off-years, and it’s in off-years that you need to have a legislature in place to work with the Census for drawing House districts.

Expect to hear the usual bits and bobs all day: Machines showing up with votes already logged, ballots being “found,” people showing up with their names already checked on the voter rolls, etc. Somewhere in America right now, O’Keefe no doubt is preparing to catch “fraud” in progress.

Already happened. He’s got a video out now of someone in “Burka” being offered a ballot for Huma Abedin — It’s on Drudge, and the derp’ing has begun.

The poll worker basically tells the “journalist” she can’t vote using the machine and will have to use a paper ballot — almost certainly a provisional ballot that would be easily challenged once the real Huma Abedin shows up to vote, or even if she didn’t, would be challenged in a recount if it would be a case where it might count.

The moment one or more go down, that’s pretty much game. For example, he could win every other “toss-up” state and still lose if FL goes blue. OH or NC would not be as dire a hit, but if he can’t win FL, he’s got no chance.

In theory, Trump could replace Ohio or NC with Michigan or Pa, but if he loses Ohio or NC, he ain’t winning either of the others.

NEW YORK—FBI director James Comey, already criticized over his handling of Hillary Clinton’s email investigation in the final days of the presidential campaign, was accepting a lifetime achievement award Monday night at a dinner organized by a law enforcement support group whose board includes three people with longtime ties to Donald Trump.

Comey was being honoured by the non-profit Federal Drug Agents Foundation. It lists more than three dozen board directors on its website, and three of its members have extensive ties to Trump. Among them: the CEO of the company that publishes The National Enquirer, the developer of a Trump-branded tower in Toronto and a convicted felon whose company rates Trump businesses for luxury.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. It’s a beautiful day here to go vote for the next President of the US, and all the down-ticket races. Here in NJ, it’s pretty much a given that we’ll be voting for HRC in droves, but it’s the Congressional races in NJ that are of interest - since any and all GOP losses help the cause.

It’s for the greater good too - when you’ve got GOPer obstructionists like Scott Garrett who need to be tossed out of office. When they say that government isn’t working, the GOP has only themselves to blame. 30 of 50 state legislatures and governors are in GOP control. Both the House and Senate are in GOP control. Only the Presidency eludes them, and the GOP nonstop obstructionism has left popular opinion of Congress at an all time low.

Ebola probably has a higher popularity rating than Congress, because you can recover from Ebola - it’s not clear the nation could recover from the current GOP controlling all branches of government (and by winning the WH, they would control all the branches through nominating extremists to the bench).

We’d see a roll back of civil and voting rights the likes of which we would not have experienced since the end of Reconstruction (with the inception of Jim Crow and segregation).

The GOP needs to be stopped at all levels of government, and that means voting in numbers and across the nation.

I don’t think we’ll see enough turnover in the House to shift the balance there, but the Senate should flip to the Democrats, and Hillary will be the first woman President of the US (Bill gets to be Former President, since that title/honorific trumps First Dude or whatever).

Trump will slink off to the golden maw of his penthouse in the sky, awaiting trial court dates in any number of legal issues still bedraggling him. The IRS and NYS AG will still be a calling for him as well. And maybe we’ll finally get a glimpse into the true nature of his house of cards as the tax man and law enforcement take measure of the man (in orange jumpsuit).

I’m going with 344 to 194.

In most previous election years, the answer to that question has been relatively simple. In 2008 and 2012, it was the economy. In 2004, it was national security and the Iraq War. But this year, it’s much less clear, because the most pressing issues confronting the American people have been overshadowed by outrageous headlines, fake scandals, fake news and shameful coverage of the one-man circus that is Donald Trump. More than in any other recent election, the role of the media itself has become a central, consuming issue of the campaign.

The media malpractice started in 2015, as ratings- and profit-obsessed networks abetted Trump’s rise by granting him free, uncritical and unfiltered access to the airwaves. For the year, the three major evening newscasts covered Trump more than twice as much as Hillary Clinton — and more than 16 times as much as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), whose insurgent candidacy they overwhelmingly marginalized or dismissed. By March of this year, according to one analysis, Trump had benefited from roughly $2 billion worth of free media attention. Subsequent election coverage hasn’t been much better. As of late October, the same evening newscasts had dedicated barely half an hour to every policy issue combined since the beginning of 2016. Climate change, trade and other important issues received no coverage at all.

So for the last three presidential elections, my voting district had electronic voting machines that recorded your vote on an smart card and we never had issues (that I’m aware of) with questions about the integrity of our ballots. But this year, we’re back to these A4-sheet sized ballots with bubbles that need to be filled in by pen and an electronic counting machine you feed it into once you’re done.

Things that make you go “Huh?”

Things I’d like to see that probably won’t happen: the federal government setting election standards to make it easy to register and vote throughout the nation, and getting the states to agree by offering billions of dollars to fully fund their elections. Should include automatic registration, same-day registration, and weeks of early voting.

I’d like to see the VRA restored to full operation, which would require Congress to get off their collective ass and fix the problems identified by the Supreme Court (though they screwed up that case royally IMO). Add to that a fully seated Court, and that would restore many of the protections that the GOP has abandoned in pursuit of trying to win elections by depressing turnout among those who are least likely to vote for them.

We will get a fully seated Supreme Court. I worried that if the GOP retained control of the Senate, they might refuse to appoint any new Justices for the next four years. But now I think enough GOP Senators will refuse to go along with that mad scheme that a filibuster can be broken even if the GOP retains the Senate majority.

Trump couldn’t vote for himself since his grandparents immigrated (they weren’t born here).

Many Jews wouldn’t be able to vote since many are descendants of grandparents who fled WWII and the Nazis to come to the States. But Blacks? They’d be more likely to follow the rule, as would Native Americans.

Coulter would of course take the worst lessons away from history and try to implement the Nazis ideas for racial/ethnic purity, starting with who can vote.

Back in 2001, Gallup did a poll, which found that 56% of all Americans identify as 3d generation Americans or more. The highest percentage is for blacks, who at that time were 75%. Those percentages might be a bit higher now, but Coulter would disenfranchise a significant chunk of Americans.

She’s got a basket of deplorability all to herself.

The racism is hidden, in this particular article. However, VDH ends with:

The year 2016, for all its carnival barking, ended up as a clash of visions, and a fork in the American road.

And it’s that latter statement, a common refrain from the VDH types, which reveals what the real angst is all about on the part of NRO crowd: that the future not on their path, on their choice of which fork is before them.

Quite a difference from 2012, when I had to wait 1h54m, and the line snaked down the block, into the middle-school gym where the registrations and machines were, down the hall, out into the schoolyard, looped around, came back into the school, and finally back to the gym to vote. Must be some sort of “enthusiasm gap”? (Or else I just got smart and missed rush-hour this year)

Via Doug Kyed of nesn.com, the wife of the Patriots quarterback made a comment on Instagram that they were not, in fact, supporting Donald Trump.

An Instagram commenter asked the Brazilian supermodel Friday: “Gisele I heard you and Tom were backing Trump! Is that true?? @gisele.”

Bundchen responded, “NO!”

lawhawk Nov 8, 2016 • 8:25:03am

All the major forecasters are predicting a Clinton win. 538 gives Clinton a 72% chance. That’s the lowball forecast, while everyone else goes from 84% (upshot) to 99% at PEC. Sabato, Roth, and Cook all go with a lean (which puts them in same boat as 538.

The good news is that this would suggest a clear win for Clinton, though not nearly the landslide that it should be.

Here’s hoping that the outcome is at least the clear Clinton win, and that the pollsters underestimated the Clinton win and overestimated Trump support.

Best part was an older lady (80 give or take) dressed resplendently in a white pantsuit. After she voted, she stepped out of the fire station, took a deep breath, looked up to the sky and said “I think I’ll go pick up a turkey to roast for tonight.”

Turnout relatively light (suburban Maryland). Diverse precinct although this morning’s traffic was majority middle-class African American.

There weren’t any Trump/GOP volunteers on the ground. But I wouldn’t overestimate the impact I had (there was also another Dem with me).

Going back latter to do the last shift and then to an election party. Haven’t done that before, or volunteered before.

Trump couldn’t vote for himself since his grandparents immigrated (they weren’t born here).

Many Jews wouldn’t be able to vote since many are descendants of grandparents who fled WWII and the Nazis to come to the States. But Blacks? They’d be more likely to follow the rule, as would Native Americans.

Mrs. Rabbit is/was an adopted child. Her father was a diplomatic attaché from [redacted] with an American mother. She was raised by parents who had 4 US born people, but her natural father definitely didn’t and mother is an unknown. Where would she fit in in the scenario?

I just got back from voting. Couple random thoughts. First, to my chagrin, I forgot to reregister as a R after I voted for Clinton in the PA primary (closed primary). I want to reserve the right to vote for a grown-up on the off chance one runs as an R. (Could happen, not holding my breath). Second, whoever is represented the Trump campaign must have either mailed it in or bailed really early. One of my neighbors is at a little table with Clinton stuff and a Clinton banner draped from the table. The Trump Banner is laid on the floor with some pamphlets on it. I should have taken a picture. I also made darn sure I hit the right buttons.

Not sure what Reuters poll he’s yammering on about, but the Reuters IPSOS polling shows HRC with a consistent ~5 point lead over the orange possum.

Then I took at look at his link, and it does show Trump with a lead, but the polling sample is.. ahem… tiny - all of 436 polled (whereas polling earlier in that polling was anywhere from 850 to 1700 or more). That means there’s a huge MOE, and the same could be said of the preceding day when the polling tightened.

An optimist’s view of that situation—having spent two weeks at the end of October in Durham, everyone I met had early voted (Dems) so maybe it will be more detrimental to GOP voters in Durham.

Throw out all the votes, if majority are for Hillary. If majority of the votes are for Trump, then no action requested.
