Interesting times in Georgia where over 340,000 people have been purged from voter rolls. The reason for this was, apparently, that these voters no longer lived at those addresses but it seems that the vast majority do.

Whilst some voters have been purged under the "use it or lose it" approach it still seems there are some odd moves at voter suppression going on here.

That's very much the thin end of the wedge in Georgia.

See also Dodge City, KS, a Latino majority city of 27,000 which has had its polling place removed for the upcoming midterms.

There's also a serious under representation of Native American voters as they use a "mailbox" system on a large number of reservations but you can't use your mailbox to register as a voter and they have no postal address at the reservation beside their mailbox.

Only been going on for a century mind you so don't think it'll be getting fixed anytime soon.

Latest polls suggest Democrats have only a 20% chance of gaining control of the Senate but an 85% chance of gaining control of the House.  At the very least Trump will find things far more difficult and the House could set up various investigations that will cause him grief in the run up to 2020.

Hasn’t he already been “investigated” a thousand times in his life? He’ll laugh them off with his top lawyers (and judges)

Featuring bad Muslim types, South American caravans, healthcare and California rioting. Incredible stuff.

Trump’s son in law quote on Saudi killing: “We’re getting facts in from multiple places. Once those facts come in, the secretary of state will work with our national security team to help us determine what we want to believe.”

If the "Caravan" isn't near the border by the mid terms he'll quietly get them bussed up so he can send the army to close the border.

The White House has brought out a report about the dangers of socialism.

 

Quote

The socialist narrative names the oppressors of the vulnerable, such as the bourgeoisie (Marx), kulaks (Lenin), landlords (Mao), and giant corporations (Sanders and Warren). Piketty (2014) concludes that the Soviet approach and other attempts to “abolish private ownership” should at least be admired for being “more logically consistent.”

No one ever went broke underestimating the stupidity of the American public so the coup de grace against socialism is the cost of a pick up truck
