Trump adviser Roger Stone getting ready to 'create a constitutional crisis'

By Mark Sumner
Friday Aug 05, 2016 · 6:26 AM PDT

Trump adviser Roger Stone issued has issued a warning.

In a podcast last week, long-time Trump advisor Roger Stone said that if the election results in November don't match opinion polls, the Republican nominee should challenge the validity of the election and warned that the unrest could end in a "bloodbath".
​

Of course, the problem now is that the polls all show Trump losing. Badly.
No longer able to find polls that support the myth of a Trump lead, or even of a close race, Trump has been citing increasingly aging polls. For the first time, Trump even talked about his lead in “internal polling,” despite mocking the idea of internal polling in the past.
And even though the previous threat was to throw a fit if the results didn’t match, the deeper Donald Trump sinks in the polls, the more the word "rigged” appears at Trump’s rallies.
If Donald Trump can’t win, will he try to flip over the board?


At a rally on Monday Mr Trump said he was afraid that the November election "is going to be rigged" - backing up his statement by saying it was something he was hearing "more and more".

In a television interview, he repeated the warning.
"November 8th, we'd better be careful, because that election is going to be rigged," he said. "And I hope the Republicans are watching closely, or it's going to be taken away from us."
​

If Trump has begun a heavy push on the idea that the election won’t be fair, Trump adviser Roger Stone has gone way past that point. Stone is making the assumption that the election will be rigged, that any Trump loss can only happen by trickery, and he’s preparing for what comes after the “stolen election.”

In a conversation between Roger Stone and Alex Jones (a combination that could generate more conspiracy theories in 15 minutes than a convention on ancient astronauts), Stone is preparing the idea that Trump’s followers won’t tolerate his loss.

STONE: Well you have to let them know in advance that you’re not going to stand for it. That if there’s any solid evidence of election irregularities you’re prepared to challenge her swearing in and create a constitutional crisis.
​

Stone has not just been declaring that Democrats are going to steal the election, but insisting that Khizr Khan is a terrorist agent, and that Paul Ryan is secretly working for Hillary. Voter fraud is rampant! Everyone is agin’ ‘em! It’s all a conspiracy! Bengazemailkhanillarry! But while Trump and Stone are laying the groundwork for Trump-can’t-lose-he-can-only-be-cheated, President Obama has a different view.

“I think all of us at some points in our lives have played sports or maybe just played in a schoolyard or sandbox, and sometimes folks if they lose, they complain they got cheated,” Obama said. “But I’ve never heard of somebody complaining about being cheated before the game was over. Or before the score is even tallied.”

ANOTHER Rump scandal; I guess his organization has a lotta "buffers"

I Can't Believe This NYT Article About Trump Is Not A Bigger Story/Scandal

By RETIII
Thursday Jul 21, 2016 · 11:12 AM PDT

Yesterday, the New York Times reported an indisputable bombshell: Donald Trump has been offering prospective Vice Presidential nominees the chance to run the entire executive office — domestically and internationally:

One day this past May, Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., reached out to a senior adviser to Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, who left the presidential race just a few weeks before. As a candidate, Kasich declared in March that Trump was “really not prepared to be president of the United States,” and the following month he took the highly unusual step of coordinating with his rival Senator Ted Cruz in an effort to deny Trump the nomination. But according to the Kasich adviser (who spoke only under the condition that he not be named), Donald Jr. wanted to make him an offer nonetheless: Did he have any interest in being the most powerful vice president in history?
When Kasich’s adviser asked how this would be the case, Donald Jr. explained that his father’s vice president would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.
Then what, the adviser asked, would Trump be in charge of?
“Making America great again” was the casual reply.
​

Not only is this story sourced from the office of the Governor of Ohio, and former Republican presidential candidate, but it is also consistent with the Trump campaign’s prior, explicit statements as early as May 2016:

Manafort sat down with the Huffington Post’s Howard Fineman for a fairly long interview, and while the two covered quite a bit of ground, there was one exchange in particular that stood out for me.

The vice presidential pick will also be part of the process of proving he’s ready for the White House, Manafort said.
​

“He needs an experienced person to do the part of the job he doesn’t want to do. He sees himself more as the chairman of the board, than even the CEO, let alone the COO.”
​

Yes, Melania’s plagiarism was newsworthy (and fun), and Cruz’s non-endorsement was newsworthy (and fun), but how in the world do the above revelations generate less news coverage? (It sure as hell can’t be that they are less fun.)
What’s further amazing is that at least in the case of Dick Cheney we had a narrative of a powerful VP assuming and amassing unprecedented power. Here, the presidential candidate, the top-of-the-ticket, is actively seeking to give up power in advance. With that plan, Trump then went out to pick a VP out of an extremely limited pool of willing nominees and by considering ordinary, mundane political considerations.

The end result is that voters don't even know what policies they are voting for, or whether the true inauguration speech was the VP nominee’s speech last night. How is this out-in-the-open and simultaneously a non-story?

Cynics obviously may say "Great, let anybody other than Trump be in charge," but that ignores that this (i) is just an added level of chaos and danger on top of an already untenable scenario, and (ii) should be an irrefutable, disqualifying argument today. Simply . . . it should be the most important story of the campaign yet.
<tap> <tap> Is this microphone turned on?

Clinton made the flub while addressing a joint conference of black and Hispanic journalists in Washington DC on Friday. She quickly corrected herself and then called Trump her 'opponent'.

[h=1]State Dept. misplaced $6B under Hillary Clinton: IG report[/h]By Adam Kredo — The Washington Free Beacon -
Friday, April 4, 2014

---

The State Department misplaced and lost some $6 billion due to the improper filing of contracts during the past six years, mainly during the tenure of former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, according to a newly released Inspector General report.
The $6 billion in unaccounted funds poses a “significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Department’s contract actions,” according to the report.

---

The alert, originally sent on March 20 and just released this week, warns that the missing contracting funds “could expose the department to substantial financial losses.”
The report centered on State Department contracts worth “more than $6 billion in which contract files were incomplete or could not be located at all,” according to the alert.

“The failure to maintain contract files adequately creates significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Department’s contract actions,” the alert states.
The situation “creates conditions conducive to fraud, as corrupt individuals may attempt to conceal evidence of illicit behavior by omitting key documents from the contract file,” the report concluded.
The State Department’s inability to properly file its paperwork is causing most of the losses, according to the report.
The IG “found repeated examples of poor contract file administration” over the years, the report said.
Contracts related to the U.S. war in Iraq, for instance, could not be produced in 33 out of 115 instances, according to the report.
“A recent OIG audit of the closeout process for contracts supporting the U.S. Mission in Iraq revealed that contracting officials were unable to provide 33 of 115 contract files requested in accordance with the audit sampling plan,” the report states.
The value of the 33 “missing files” totaled $2.1 billion, according to the report.
Additionally, 48 of the 82 contract files that were produced “did not contain all of the documentation required by” internal regulations, according to the report.
The 48 “incomplete files” were worth another $2.1 billion, according to the report.
A further audit of the department’s Bureau of African Affairs found that administrators “were unable to provide complete contract administration files for any of the eight contracts that were reviewed.”
These contracts were worth $34.8 million.
The investigation also found instances in which a company owned by the spouse of a contractor employee was not properly documented.
“In the case of work undertaken by OIG’s Office of Investigations, one investigation revealed that a contract file did not contain documentation reflecting that modifications and task orders were awarded to the company owned by the spouse of a contractor employee performing as a Contract Specialist for the contract,” the report states.
The contract in question was worth $52 million.
The report outlines several other instances in which contracts worth great values were mishandled.
“In a number of recent OIG inspections, OIG identified contract file management deficiencies. For example, COR files for a $2.5 million contract lacked status reports and a tally of the funds expended and remaining on the contract,” the report states.
The State Department appeared to agree with the IG’s recommendations in a March 28 response and said that it intends to ensure that contracts are completed properly.

LOL, Clinton's Chance of 272 E.C. Votes is > 99%

By Ken in Tex2
Saturday Aug 06, 2016 · 3:59 PM PDT





(Click the link to see the map, read it and weep, Righty Whack jobs)
Generously assuming the Republicans can hold MO, UT, SC and MS










So the polling was crazy last week and it was hard to keep up with. But I finally had a chance to look at all the data from the 6 poll aggregators that I am currently following. As you can see from the spread sheet, Hillary’s minimum lead in all of the states totalling 272 EC votes is now 5.251% in Virginia. That’s outside of the so-called margin of error. So if the election were held tomorrow, her chance of winning the election would be slightly more than 99%.

99.07%, More-or-less.
Now, I know that things will change a lot between now and November and this model does not try to predict probabilities that far out. So, it’s very likely that Trump (assuming he does not drop out of the race, and the GOP does not tamper with his plane’s engine), will tone down his level of obnoxiousness somewhat, and everyone will watch the Olympics for a few weeks and his numbers will drift back up a bit.
And, I also know that regardless of these numbers, Hillary, Kaine and all of us, have to keep fighting every day from now till election night like we’re 3 points behind (and I will).
But as a singular event, the fact that, at this moment in time, the best polling available in the world indicates that the GOP candidate has virtually no chance of winning the election, is amazing. Presidential Campaigns are complex affairs. Data like this drives decisions every day about where to campaign, where to do ad-buys, can the campaign afford to help out down ballot candidates? Can Hillary afford to take the time to make a campaign stop in MO, or AZ or NC to help out the democratic Senators running in those states, if she has little or no hope of carrying those states? But see how much the equation changes when she is competitive in red states like MO, AZ, NC, etc. She can afford to help down ballot more, she can spend big to build infrastructure in several red states that will help the statewide parties in those places for years to come.
Democratic volunteers in places like Texas (me) who might be inclined to phone it in, become energized, imagining discouraged Republicans voters staying home. We double up on our efforts to get one or two more state Representatives elected who might otherwise be written off as lost causes. The effects go from the very top down to local school board elections. Revel in this opportunity that fate (and rampant GOP racism) has dropped in our laps. And get out and work. Work like you never have before and make this Presidential Landslide a Wave that will carry us through the 2020 census, and 2021 redistricting. Now is our time.
