"SNIP..................
According to The Hill and reporters around the web, Donald Trumps campaign website removed mentions of supposed Muslim ban just a few minutes after ABC News Cecilia Varga asked Press Secretary Sean Spicer about it during Mondays White House press briefing.
If this White House is no longer calling this a Muslim ban, as the president did initially, why does the presidents website still explicitly call for preventing Muslim immigration and it says Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, Vega asked the press secretary during the briefing.
Spicer responded by saying that he was unaware of what was on the campaigns website, but President Trumps travel ban is based on protecting national security interests, and that the intent of the travel ban was very clear.
Journalists noticed soon after Vargas questioning, however, that the press release calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our countrys representatives and figure out what is going on had been removed, along with all of the campaigns other press statements.

No, but they are old, and in some cases, busted. An astonishing 87 machines broke down in Detroit, responsible for counting tens of thousands of ballots. Many more were simply faulty and uncalibrated.
I met with Carlos Garcia, University of Michigan multimedia specialist, who, on Election Day, joined a crowd waiting over two hours for the busted machine to be fixed.
Some voters left; others filled out ballots that were chucked, uncounted, into the bottom of machine. When the machine was fixed, Carlos explained, "Any new scanned ballots were falling in on top of the old ones." It would not be possible to recount those dumped ballots.
Some tampered with warrenty seals. http://www.palmerreport.com/news/wisconsin-recount-observers-discover-five-vote-counting-machines-with-tampered-seals/345/

(31,109 posts)Do you believe the KGB and now the FSB routinely places spies on the ground here, in some cases born here?
Do you believe they hold positions as politicians, talk show hosts maybe, officials in all areas of local and state government? I dont mean there are thousands of them but in strategically placed positions, when possible, here and there.
And most importantly, do you think Vladimir Putin was handed a sycophant, a tool, the ultimate useful idiot in Trump and then left the decision of who to elect up to YOU and ME?
That for the first time in history they had an actual spy in training, willing to sell out America for a smile or hand compliment or oil Exxon deal and they didnt hack our system?
I dont think that is possible, myself.
