OSCE observers don’t control our elections. They observe the process and publicly report what they find. If election integrity is the concern, why turn away the people who help assess it?

The objective of Republicans has always been trolling liberals, not achieving any helpful goals. The simpleton Ronald Reagan is a good example. He blathered on about how much he was in favor of smaller government. Well, guess what? The federal government was *larger* when he left office.

People are mocking Donald Trump for telling NASA scientists that Donald’s uncle being an MIT professor means Donald knows about space—because he believes in genes. Yes, it's stupid because so is Donald. But it’s also scary. It’s all part of Donald’s racist Nazi eugenics worldview.
