Trump administration removes senior defense officials and installs loyalists, triggering alarm at Pentagon

The Trump administration has carried out sweeping changes atop the Defense Department's civilian leadership structure, removing several of its most senior officials and replacing them with perceived loyalists to the President.

The top Pentagon official quit after Trump firef the defense secretary yesterday, and now there is a Trump-loyalist conspiracy guy in the Top Dog spot.

Anderson resigned Tuesday, according to two US defense officials, a day after President Donald Trump fired Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and replaced him with Christopher Miller, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center. The move only adds to the sense of chaos within the Pentagon following Trump's firing of Esper on Monday. The President jettisoned him two days after his Democratic opponent Joe Biden was projected as the winner of the presidential election, a conclusion that Trump has refused to accept. Tata is widely viewed as a Trump loyalist who maintained support from the White House even as Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee signaled they were unwilling to support his confirmation earlier this year.

Yes and no - First, Twitler isn't actually a conservative - he only ran as one because well, republicans are more easily manipulated.

If conservative means anything I'm at a loss for what. Republicans in congress seem mostly concerned with making money for themselves with no ideology.

"Conservative" means the rich people's party and their benighted minions who have been duped into following them. The rich just can't say that out loud or their minions might catch on.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is Mississippi. It would be crazy if he wasn't repeating common country club barroom hunting lodge church house conversation. The Purity truly believe it will happen one day just as surely as they're supernaturally immune from poverty and disease.

All Americans should read George Orwell's Animal Farm urgently.

For those of us who have read it, is it OK if we just reread Dr. Seuss' Oh the Places You'll Go... with hope?

That's great. A shame the people who need to hear it, won't.

Second group of international election observers report no evidence of fraud

A second group of international election observers from the Organization of American States (OAS) reported its members did not see any evidence of fraud despite President Trump's assertions that widespread fraud affected the election.

[...]

The observers reported no instances of fraud or voting irregularities in the presidential election, categorizing Election Day as "overall progressing in a peaceful manner." The OAS did note that there were attempts to intimidate poll workers during the counting process, particularly in Michigan, where protests called for workers to "stop the count."

The OAS also concluded that the mail-in ballot system was "secure."

THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IS IN WITH THE DEMONCRATS.

If they already have all this evidence of voter fraud, why do they have to offer money for it?

This is getting serious.

Trump's big new election lawsuit alleges voter fraud potentially happened in 2 Pennsylvania counties. Both overwhelmingly voted for him.

The lawsuit makes several claims of irregularities in how votes were counted, citing unnamed poll watchers and election observers. It also accuses Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar of giving improper guidance to election officials for processing mail-in ballots.

But the filing cites only two specific instances of potential voter fraud, Adam Klasfeld reported for Law & Crime. Both are in counties that voted heavily for President Donald Trump.

If votes were thrown out in those areas, they could widen the gap of 45,000 votes (and counting) between Biden and Trump in the state.
