President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Please. Tell me what my voting habits are. Tell me who I do and don't vote for.

 

I bet you voted for Greenwood. Did I get at least one right?

Trump is the reliever who comes in when the game is tied and gets credited for the victory.

Donald Trump Will Defeat ISIS

 

Preposterous.

Everything good that's happened against ISIS has happened since January 20 of this year.

 

WHAT?!?! Not from what I've read on this board.
When President Obama turned the affairs of state over to President Trump on January 20th, the Islamic State was in full retreat across Iraq and Syria.

 

Belated props to Harry Truman for single-handedly licking the Axis.

 

Has political discourse fallen to such a low level that Harry Truman is being called an axis licker?

 

The Democratic congressman when I was in high school (more than 20 years ago) once came to speak to the school. One of the few thing he said that stood out to me was that 95 percent of the time, Democrats and Republicans spent their time working together on different things, but that the 5 percent was where everyone was always paying attention to it.

Maybe the percentages have changed nowadays, but I always liked how he said that.

 

Only when he cuts someone off in traffic. [/crossthread]

 

Were Voting Machines Actually Breached? DHS Would Rather Not Know


"Computer scientists have been critical of that decision. “They have performed computer forensics on no election equipment whatsoever,” said J. Alex Halderman, who testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee last week about the vulnerability of election systems. “That would be one of the most direct ways of establishing in the equipment whether it’s been penetrated by attackers. We have not taken every step we could.”

Voting machines, especially the electronic machines still used in several states, are so insecure that an attack on them is likely to be successful, according to a report from NYU’s Brennan Center for Justice out Thursday morning. David Dill, a voting systems expert and professor of computer science at Stanford University quoted in the report, said hackers can easily breach election systems regardless of whether they’re able to coordinate widely enough to alter a general election result.

“I don’t know why they wouldn’t try to hack voting machines and I don’t know what would stop them,” Dill told TPM. “Any statement that says ‘We haven’t see evidence of X’ also means ‘We haven’t lifted a finger to investigate.’”
