    I have to agree with you.

    Unlimited illegal immigration and adding DC and Puerto Rico as states will shift the demographics permanently to the left. The left isn't interested in Democracy but rather prefer a more permanent tyranny.

    Some idiot on the right will blow up something big and the conservatives in this country will be regarded as terrorists. Its all baked in.

    Let's hope there is no violence from anyone on either side---I don't advocate violence in any situation-----I must point out that nothing will be said about this--

    As right as the American left is, there are still way more because political bias is largely down to brain structure.

    Its just how evolution made humans. So the US right has to cheat and surpress.

  4. Imagine the uproar if Trump had requested such a thing!

    The Dems know they are illegit and wrong.... and now will "defend their ill-gained ground" with lethal force... as they intend to suppress/punish dissent of any kind (opposing speech, peaceful assembly...)!

    (There's a name for that kind of government. The world has seen it many times before.)

    Near the beginning a guy observes that OK Cupid used the question "Do you prefer to spend time with simple or complex people" to sort conservative from liberal personality types.

    In a neurological bipolar political environment, right wingers just don't have the numbers. They get frustrated by democracy and turn away from it.

    GAO finds Chad Wolf, Ken Cuccinelli are ineligible to serve in their top DHS roles

    GAO has referred the matter to the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security for further review and potential action.

    Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf and Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli were invalidly appointed to their positions and are ineligible to serve, a congressional watchdog determined Friday.

    The Government Accountability Office — Congress' independent investigative arm — concluded that after the resignation of Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in April 2019, an improper succession occurred, with Kevin McAleenan taking on the position. McAleenan then altered the order of succession for other officials to succeed him after his departure.

    "Because the incorrect official assumed the title of Acting Secretary at that time, subsequent amendments to the order of succession made by that official were invalid and officials who assumed their positions under such amendments, including Chad Wolf and Kenneth Cuccinelli, were named by reference to an invalid order of succession,” GAO's general counsel Thomas Armstrong concluded.

    ruled in March that he was invalidly appointed to his role as acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, a ruling that blocked two policies he had implemented at the time. Trump hasn't nominated Cuccinelli for either of the two top DHS jobs he has held, a prospect likely to meet resistance among Senate Republicans who have clashed with Cuccinelli in the past.

    The decision appears to boil down to a procedural error by DHS. The day before she resigned on April 10, 2019, Nielsen sought to amend the order of succession to provide for McAleenan to succeed her. However, GAO found that the department only changed the succession order for vacancies that result when the secretary is unavailable to serve due to a disaster or catastrophe. The order of succession resulting from a resignation remained unchanged, GAO found, and that order did not provide for McAleenan to take over.

    Therefore, after Nielsen's resignation, the law required that the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency succeed her, GAO found. But instead, President Donald Trump elevated McAleenan, the head of Customs and Border Protection, to the position. McAleenan then altered the order of succession, providing for Wolf and Cuccinelli's path to the top jobs.

    DHS attempted to argue that Nielsen had intended to nominate McAleenan as her successor upon resignation and, in a letter to GAO, argued that this intention was clear and legally valid. But GAO said the letter failed to address the "plain language" of the changes that Nielsen made.

    “When Secretary Nielsen issued the April Delegation, she only amended Annex A, placing the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection as the next position in the order of succession in cases of the Secretary’s unavailability to act during a disaster or catastrophic emergency," GAO found.
