Walker is hoping to get to the 1% recount through military ballots and challenging absentee ballots.

“We need the official canvass and for military ballots to be counted before any decision can be made," said Walker senior adviser Brian Reisinger in a statement. "Thousands of ballots were damaged and had to be recreated. Until there is a comparison of the original ballots to the recreated ballots, there is no way to judge their validity."

Wanker hasn't yet conceded.

He must be hoping that Waukesha pulls another bag of votes out of their ass.

Jessica Willis, of the patriarchal Christian Willis family, tells her story of abuse

at the hands of her father.

Source: jessicawillisfisher.com

As far back as I can remember, I was sexually abused by my father. I figure I was around three years old in some of the earliest memories. Initially, I had no way to know that anything was wrong. When I did eventually come to realize the fact, I had no way to accurately express what was happening to me. There followed immense shame, distrust and hurt throughout my childhood – even in the happy times. Thus ran the two parallel storylines that became my life.

“Former Wisconsin GOP Governor Tommy Thompson (1987 — 2001) had some blunt truth for Trump, state GOP Governor Scott Walker and other Republicans. Thompson said: “He’s (Trump) a bully, and the president should not be a bully.” And, Wisconsin Public Radio reported: “Thompson predicted the Republican Party and … Walker could face historic losses in November’s elections.” Thompson also contrasted his electoral and governing style to Trump’s and Walker’s: “The philosophy now is … 50 percent plus one vote. … don’t have to worry about those other people. I (Thompson) wanted every vote.” Small-town Wisconsin wisdom.”

Good read about Walkers failed power-grab.

https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2018/04/04/data-wonk-walkers-plan-to-break-the-law/

“The proposed bill would have made several changes to Wisconsin law on special elections to fill state senate or assembly seats

“If successful, Walker’s proposal would have offered new and interesting strategies for future governors intent on molding the legislature to their liking. Presumably, the calling of a special election would become discretionary. With no legal requirement to promptly call a special election a governor could promptly call special elections to fill vacancies in districts likely to be won by his or her own party, while ignoring vacancies in districts favoring the other party.”

Ive been waiting for my tRump supporting Facebook friends to start whining

about today’s march the way that they found little things to whine about after the Women’s March. Not a peep from them. I guess the Russian bots haven’t gotten to them yet.

I remember that our local won an important arbitration because of notes that were more than

10 years old. tRump is afraid of McCabe’s notes. It looks like “scared tweeting” to me.
