Trump Is Not Ending Kobachs Racist Voter Purge Scheme, Hes Putting It On Steroids By Moving It To

[no_hypocrisy]

Don’t be fooled by news of Trump's Executive Order dissolving the so-called Commission on Election Integrity. Trump is not ending the Kris Kobach scheme to attack, he’s moving it into Homeland Security as per Kobach’s original plan.

Kobach gloats that Homeland Security is exempt from Freedom of Information Act demands and public hearings — that was part of his original plan given to Trump.

Kobach claims Homeland Security can REQUIRE states to turn over voter records and can secretly gather lists of "double" or "alien" voters — this is Kobach’s "Crosscheck" on steroids.

The one Democrat on Kobach’s committee, Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap, warns: "Homeland Security operates very much in the dark…and I think people should be, frankly, frightened by that."

Kobach will be advising Homeland Security and that’s MORE dangerous than operating through an open committee.

This is not a win for progressives — it's a brilliant chess move by KKK (Kris Kobach of Kansas).

1. TOTALLY AGREE...

Everything in THIS crooked, tReasonous administration is done in the DARK ....

Which is terrifying.

Wanting to vote the bums out in the 2018 mid-terms is one thing. And I do feel that there is a blue wave IF all of our votes count. However, actually voting them OUT by casting your vote is a totally different thing in these tRumpian times, especially if your vote is gerrymandered, sent MISSING, cross-checked off, or voter ID'd off of voter rolls which ONLY hurt Dems.

And, who knows what role the ruskies will have in our mid-terms which are only a few months away? Fatso isn't going to sanction or punishing them. Hell, we still don't fully know NOW what roll they played in our 2016 GE. We might not find that all out until years from now. Meanwhile, tRump and the GOP--with putin's help of course, is burning this country down to the damn ground. And of course, most in the so-called liberal media which doesn't exists continues to sit by and normalize what's taking place in our country.

4. Lol. Brilliant move to conduct s purely partisan electoral investigation? Hardly.

This would have happened anyway.

Your self-suggested characterization of Kobach’s “brilliance” is (shall we say), less than accurate, verging on plum loco.
