It seems 90% (my own estimate) of the people convicted of voter fraud are from the right.
That's why it's called projection 8O

Fred,
Will you stop with the fake news?

Rich's use of the plural application to the release of the Nunes "memos" is actually correct!
We now know that he gave one version to the Republicans on his committee who voted to give it to the Prez for its release and a second one that Nunes' fellow Republicans didn't see and the latter is the one Nunes sent to the White House!
The one the White House got is materially different from the one that Nunes wrote and gave to his fellow Republicans for a vote!
Now, we have a total of four memos, two from Nunes, one from the democrats and one from the FBI, that all address the same subject matter. We do now that the two Nunes memos are different even though there's only supposed to be one!
Geez...

The FBI head, appointed by Trump, calls the Nunes memo, even with its edits(which confirms there are two versions) "a false narrative,"

Couldn't be fake news, could it?...

Same "reasons" as before, FEAR of inflation(there isn't any), the BOND MARKET(It's always been there), Higher Productivity(that's actually a good thing, morons), forget about reality: A strong American economy and a strong global economy. Result: 800 point DROP! Prediction: the global markets drop, too!
Now, if the market knew and dropped last week because of events in the middle east, then THAT would be understandable.What events you say?
1. Iran massed 84000 Islamic warriors in Syria prompting the Israeli PM to fly to Moscow for an EMERGENCY FIVE HOUR meeting with Putin to get them to back-off which they did, after the meeting. The PM and Putin talk daily, FYI and be happy they do.
2. Insurgents shot down a Russian fight/bomber over Syria with a mobile SAM launcher, with the pilot ejecting, landing safely, and then was gunned down after facing Islamic warriors armed armed with AKs versus his pistol. Russia went back in and LEVELED the area.
3. The US responded with a broken arrow type response with our airforce after American-backed forces in Syria received a full-frontal assault from forces loyal to Assad.
Now, if war had broken out in the middle east, the geopolitical overlay on the markets would have been severe, oil would have skyrocketed, and you would have inflation, but THAT'S just reality...

Trump blocked the Democratic response to the Nunes memo(s) for so-called security concerns with specific sentences with in it. This is the same Trump who said he would release the Nunes memos(s) before he read them and did just that.
Among the WH "concerns": the Democratic memo hadn't been reviewed by the FBI and the Justice department. These two institutions have been the subject of repetitive attacks by Trump and his supporters and the FBI has called the Nunes memo(s) "a false narrative". The Democrats tried to have the departments review their memo but the Republican majority in the committee blocked(obstructed) it. More "sweet revenge" by Trump and company...

In response to the loss of its F16, Israel took out half of Syria's air defenses:

Last week, the Russian plane was hit by a mobile missile with its pilot ejecting and engaging Islamists with his sidearm before detonating his grenade as they closed in upon him. Today, an Israeli F16 was hit with "massive amounts" of antiaircraft fire from Iranian batteries in Syria with its two pilots ejecting on the way back over northern Israel with one being critical.The IDF went back in and pulverized the Iranian positions. At the same time, an Israeli attack helicopter engaged and shot down an Iranian drone attempting to penetrate the border.
This means the Iranian antiaircraft installations are operational thereby emboldening them to establish their ever growing presence within Syria. Israel won't tolerate it and if the Russians won't stop it, Israel will...
