lifting the Muslim travel ban Because it's racist? Or whatever label applies to religious discrimination. The folks responsible for 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia. They were never on the ban because they buy so many weapons from us.

A lot of the articles I read had a definite angle towards the ban being lifted because people, with family in the banned countries, haven't been able to see their families since 2017 because they weren't allowed to fly into the US.

Thank you. That makes more sense to me. It just felt to me like our country has been suffering so badly a lifting a Muslim ban was more important then taking care of the hungry, jobless families here.

The New York Times broke a story last night about how Trump tried to use the Department of Justice to overturn the election in general and in particular in Georgia. He found a DOJ lawyer (Clark) that agreed with him about fraud. Clark first wanted to release a letter saying there was fraud in general but the people in the two highest posts in the DOJ told him he couldn't do it. Then Clark went to Trump and their plan was that he would replace the head of DOJ (Rosen) and then send a letter to the Georgia legislature that their election was full of fraud hoping the Georgia legislature would overturn their election results. Well the other senior people at the DOJ got together and decided they would all resign if Trump replaced the Rosen. Then Clark, Rosen, and some of the other top people met with Trump to present their opposing views. Trump figured if all the senior people at the DOJ resigned over his actions there would be serious blowback and the fraud talk wouldn't be considered so he decided not to replace Rosen. Previously the day after Barr said he was quitting Trump had called Rosen to his office and asked him for the DOJ to join in the lawsuits about fraud his lawyers were presenting in court. He also wanted the DOJ to come out and say there was fraud. Rosen said no because the DOJ found no proof of fraud. Story about this.

I think the more stuff that comes to light about the shady, underhanded stuff he did, the more angry we're all going to be.

bbbearsmom, I saw that. I do hope there will be some sort of reckoning for all his criminal deeds. He has gone unchecked his entire life.

Lani, that would be me. Just so you know. Sorry about that. I know how important this board is to many of you. I wouldn't want my rants to be the reason this board goes away.

In the cute news: Biden's motorcade stopped at a Jewish deli on the way back to the White House from him and his wife being at mass, and a Secret Service agent went in to pick up the order (assuming it was for the Biden's).

One thing I'll need to work on is to not get upset about all of the people (especially those in political power) who will not say that the election was not rigged. For the political people it is all a power play for their base and the next election. Also the fact that Ted Cruz is starting his 2024 presidential campaign now is unsettling, and we'll be listening to that for the next four years.
Still out there searching the news for political stories, always wondering what is going to happen next.

DotRen, I saw that. I hope the judge does something about the fact that it is a ridiculous lawsuit. Can you imagine how his former employer feels knowing they had this guy working for them.
