Trump Won. Lawyer Up

 

Oh Shit, Trump is Coming

The Hatch Act, a federal law passed in 1939, limits certain political activities of federal employees, as well as some state, D.C., and local government employees who work in connection with federally funded programs. ​The law’s purposes are to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation.​​​​ ​​

This is still on the books. Trump, and whoever he puts in charge, will use it to weed out corrupt federal employees. Pass the popcorn.

Petard, (P)regressive, hoisted upon their own

Every since Shillary supposedly received 2.9 million votes more than Trump in 2016, the (P)regressives have been pushing the idea that each state pledge to give their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. That, along with the influx of hordes of illegal immigrants voting should guarantee they will hold power forever. Oops! President Trump won the national popular vote.

National popular vote

The National Popular Vote Compact has been enacted into law by 17 states and the District of Columbia, including 5 small states (DE, HI, ME, RI, VT), 9 medium-sized states (CO, CT, MD, MA, MN, NJ, NM, OR, WA), and 3 big states (CA, IL, NY). These jurisdictions have 209 of the 270 electoral votes needed to activate the law.

 Harris won 15 of those states. How many, including Colorado, will send the Electors pledged to Trump to the Electoral College?

Answer. Probably none, as the law hasn’t been activated

Righteous Shooting

The county deputy won. For those that think Wyoming is a “shoot’em up state”, a complete reading of the article will show self defense in Wyoming is somewhat complicated.

The Sky is Still Falling

It is settled science. Also, need to keep the money flowing to establish more settled science.

I still don't believe that rise is real. And they've screwed with the raw data to the point that you can't tell WHAT the actual data was...grrr...

Figures don't lie, liars figure. Case in point. In Britain, temperatures being reported from non existent weather stations.

Lucky deputy. That was an accurate hit on the cruiser.

I'm a bit concerned, WSF. Are you somehow denying or attempting to refute the judgement of your betters?

Everyone knows we must be taxed until Net Zero to save the planet. Not unlike Pol Pot's, of blessed memory! plan for Cambodia.

LSP I must keep pace with other candidates for that choice spot by the stove at the re-education camp.
