Three stories that I don't think got a lot of play today:

1) The failing New York Times knew that there was an open FBI counter-terrorism investigation into the Trump campaign a few weeks before the election, but published nothing about it, and instead wrote a story claiming that the FBI saw no links between Trump and Russia.

2) The Supreme Court (Gorsuch) today refused to hear, and thus let stand, a case involving North Dakota's voter ID law. North Dakota apparently has no voter registration system, so they check IDs. They recently passed a law that says that your residential address has to appear on your ID. Ok, that sounds sensible, but here's the issue - apparently Native Americans who live on reservations don't get home delivery from the USPS, and as a result their addresses are PO boxes. IDs showing PO boxes are not valid. So they can't vote. Gorsuch thinks that's just fine and dandy.

3) The Post has a story that US intelligence intercepted plotting against the journalist who was disappeared in the Saudi embassy in Turkey. That is, we may have known about it before it happened.

None of those stories are true, they weren't on FOX

 

[Strenuus]

Trump.

Impeachment.

There, I think that'll catch the eyes of some people!

 

[Propagandist]

Also missing is the tragic tale of a nearly literate figure that oft stands (or doesn't) beside the President: The Most Bullied Person, Melania "Einstein Visa" Trump. Sad.

Independent of the impact on Natives living on a rez, doesn't this also by definition disenfranchise homeless people? How is that not an equal protection violation?

ND has no homeless legal residents and Indians can put their residential addresses on their ID just as Real Americans who have P.O. Boxes do.

Is this another one of your alternative facts aka as lies.

Indians are from India

Well now, a quick little search proves yet again you are posting false information.

It's certainly possible, originally.

Nobody knows for sure.

Your link proves my point.

The homeless there are homeless people from other states who moved to ND for oil jobs, then got laid off and stayed there.

Are you saying that all the homeless are illegals?

 

[MARIS61]

Are you saying that all the homeless are illegals?

I'm saying they're nomads, who follow the high-paying jobs wherever they open up, temporary residents of ND. They'll be living and working in some other state soon enough.

I have friends in construction who spent their lives doing this, and retired quite comfortably.

They retired comfortably but were homeless in-between jobs?

Then your original post was fake news as you said no legal ND residents. They are all legal.

North Dakota has also been invalidating the right to vote of anyone having the slightest error in their name or address such as a missing hyphen.
