Ann Coulter and Dennis Prager were engaged in the usual rationalization this morning
oh oh... "they want Trump so bad.. .they picked some low level crime (campaign finance) to get him. Obama did worse.
Trump is not a facist, totally unauthoritarian". 
I only listened for 10 minutes.

Poll closures in mostly black Georgia county galvanizes civil rights groups across USA
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/08/22/midterms-civil-rights-groups-fight-georgia-poll-closure-plans/1065099002/WASHINGTON – Civil rights groups knocked on doors Wednesday, held a rally and collected signatures to stop the closure of several polling sites in a predominately black county in Georgia.
The effort has galvanized national civil rights and voting rights groups aiming to block attempts to suppress minority voter turnout there and in other states ahead of critical midterm elections.
“It’s very disruptive and very concerning,” said Andrea Young, executive director the ACLU of Georgia. “We don’t want to see this kind of thing happening anywhere. We hope this is a warning … Things like this will not go unnoticed.”
The groups are fighting to stop a proposal the Randolph County Board of Elections and Registration is considering that would close seven of nine polling sites. The two-person board is scheduled to vote Friday.

The Georgia ACLU and some national voting rights groups, including the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, are threatening to take legal action if the board moves forward on the proposal to close sites.
“Randolph County's proposal to shutter polling sites, concocted under a veil of secrecy close to a potentially historic election in Georgia, smacks of racially motivated voter suppression," Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said in a statement.

Duncan Hunter - overdrew bank account multi times per day, used campaign funds to recut pants
1. "Throughout the relevant period, the Hunters spent substantially more than they earned. They overdrew their bank account more than 1,100 times in a seven-year period resulting in approximately $37,761 in 'overdraft' and 'insufficient funds bank' fees."Holy crap! In a seven-year period, the Hunters allegedly overdrew their bank account more than 1,000 times! Also, according to the indictment, Hunter had less than $1,000 in reportable assets listed on his personal financial disclosure forms for each year between 2009 and 2016. Talk about living beyond your means!
2. "The Hunters illegally converted and stole more than $250,000 in campaign funds to purchase goods and services for their personal use and enjoyment."
I never understand this. If you want to use $250 from your campaign to buy a few personal items, I get how you can reasonably think you won't get caught. But do you think no one will ever ask questions about $250,000?!?!
3. "Duncan Hunter facilitated the theft of campaign funds by ignoring his campaign staff's multiple warnings about Margaret's improper use of campaign funds, accusing campaign staff of disloyalty by 'trying to create some kind of paper trail on me' when they raised concerns about improper spending, and continually refusing to remove her access to campaign funds."
6. "The Hunters illegally used Campaign funds, among other things, to purchase the following: Hotel rooms, airline tickets and upgrades, meals and food, and entertainment expenses for vacations for themselves and their friends and family, including more than $14,000 for a family Thanksgiving vacation in Italy in November 2015; more than $6,500 for a family vacation to Hawaii in April 2015; more than $3,700 for a family vacation to Las Vegas and Boise in July 2015; more than $2,400 for a Las Vegas couples vacation in August 2011; and more vacations to destinations such as Lake Tahoe, Pittsburgh, London, and Washington."
See point No. 1. These are people living way, way beyond their means. Hawaii in April, Vegas in July and Italy in November? Pretty nice year.
7. "Household and other personal items for their family from a wide variety of stores, such as Costco (where they spent more than $11,300 in Campaign funds), Walmart (where they spent more than $5,700), Barnes Noble (where they spent more than $2,500), Target (where they spent more than $2,300), Michaels craft store (where they spent more than $2,200), and other retailers such as Aaron Brothers, Party City, World Market, Crate & Barrel, Pier 1, Penny, Sears, and Rite Aid."
Look, I get it. Costco is awesome. And those damn massive jars of mustard cost more than you think. But who the hell spends $2,200 at Michaels? Seriously that sounds like a nightmare I had recently.
8. "On or about January 25, 2010, in Incline Village, Nevada, Duncan Hunter spent $1,008.72 in campaign funds at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino for food, drinks, and three nights lodging during a personal ski trip with Individual 14. On this day, the Hunter family bank account had a negative balance and incurred six separate insufficient funds fees (totaling $198). Also on this same day, Duncan Hunter withdrew $20 from his personal bank account, leaving a balance of $15.02."
That last line is a dagger. He took $20 out and has $15 -- total! -- in the family bank account.
9. "On or about April 2, 2010, Duncan Hunter claimed a $257.40 reimbursement from Campaign funds for driving his car on a 468-mile trip to Virginia Beach with Individual 14, Congressman A, and Congressman A's date despite the fact that they did not use Duncan car on the trip."
Wait, you have to use the actual car to get reimbursed for the miles? Huh!
10. "On or about May 19, 2010, in Santee, California, Margaret Hunter spent $307.72 in campaign funds at Target to purchase a tablecloth, three square pillows, a three-piece brush set, a metal tray, four temporary shades, four window panels, a white duck, two Punky Brewster items, a ring pop, and two five-packs of 'animals.' In order to conceal and disguise this illegal charge, Hunter falsely told the Treasurer that it was for 'teacher/parent supporter events.'"

Lowe's to close all Orchard Supply Hardware stores (Sears spin off) nationwide
Lowe's will close all Orchard Supply Hardware stores nationwide by Feb. 1, the company announced Wednesday.
Orchard Supply Hardware, founded in 1931 in San Jose, California, and acquired by Lowe's in 2013, has 99 stores in California, Oregon and Florida. Lowe's is closing the stores to focus on its core home improvement business, the company said.
Employees were told about the decision Tuesday, and all stores will be open Wednesday for normal business hours. Orchard Supply Hardware stores will have store closing sales beginning Thursday with a plan for all stores to be closed by the end of the company's fiscal year. Lowe's will also close a distribution center in Tracy, California, the company said.
"While it was a necessary business decision to exit Orchard Supply Hardware, decisions that impact our people are never easy," Lowe's president and CEO Marvin Ellison said in a statement. "We will be providing outplacement services for impacted associates, and they will be given priority status if they choose to apply for other Lowe's positions."
-----------
Lowe's acquired Orchard Supply Hardware in 2013 after Orchard Supply, which was spun off from Sears Holdings in 2011, filed for bankruptcy.
The news about the stores' closing led many longtime customers to reminisce on Twitter about the chain, which remodeled some stores recently and had been expanding in Florida. "Deeply saddened," one person tweeted.
"I am going to miss them big time," wrote another longtime customer.

Trump didn't just cheat on Melanie. He cheated voters out of info that impacts choice
of president. He paid off mistresses to keep that info secret before the election. would not provide tax returns.
in 2016, that info would have probably swung the election back to Hillary. He cheated us all.
