So the fact that the US has greater than 100% turnout in certain counties is a screaming red flag..
I found the county-by-county breakdown of the 2018 midterms in Texas to be odd as well. It’s normal to have big cities turn blue. But on the border?
"conflicts of interest I was thinking if the President started working against the interests of the US in favor of a foreign government, or was otherwise actively attempting to dismantle or thwart the government"
How about looking back to the Obama administration and applying this statement? Look into it.
Thanks you DOC for the map. The only way to get a true representation of each state is for the states to be assigned fair numbers of electoral college voters. Otherwise their big cities states populous, ( With both uber rich and very high welfare populations. Both extreme ends of the spectrum, with government supported population becoming the highest voter volume. This is not the majority of the the average American, middle class citizen) would erase the votes of the "flyover", less concentrated population but having just as much right to have a state vote to count as much, mainly the Mid America states.
Also. thanks to Simon for bringing up the highly obvious red flag of 100% and even absurd and fraudulent 100%+ turn out on voter machines or counts. This red flag is ignored by the government and most of the media, because it suits the end result for those who count on fraudulent deceased, and illegal immigrant votes.
Finally thank you to the Op for this thread. I need an outlet to read, and/or respond to well thought out political ( or anything that requires real thought) debate and conversation in a forum that I enjoy. My husband is more and more an emotional, and basically anything requiring thought for a topic, wasteland. It is SO HARD TO LIVE WITH.
I'm having so much difficulty with him that I am considering a comment made to be by a therapist; asking if he was "on the spectrum"- meaning a higher functioning autism disorder. I have begun researching this further, and beginning to join a support and information forum just for neurotypical spouses of neurodiverse ( spectrum) spouses
Off topic, but of interest to me. In reading up on adult higher functioning autism it struck me some of these traits fit in with the traits of a brainwashed JW. (Maybe I should start a thread on that topic.)
I started a new thread on the taxation subject, this is the title:
If you prepaid $2100.00 in taxes, Uncle Sam could refund you $9987.00

It's just....stunning. Can't pick just a couple of things to highlight, it's all...just, wow.
Couple of points to remember before all the "he has no credibility" comments start coming in:
it's not just his words, he has corroborating physical evidence.
At this point, his sentence cannot be shortened, only lengthened. He has no incentive to lie, and plenty of incentive to tell the truth.
Impeachment here, impeachment there....nobody cares, just the political class. I mean we're paying taxes so they work in the many challenges that this country has. Improve the infrastructure, fix healthcare, let's work guys! This impeachment thing has been going for years now, each day worse than the other.
I remember this! Back when the silver bullet was Cohen. Boy, they sure got Trump that time. Good times.Cohen's opening statement:

I agree that the power struggle is pathetic. But sometimes we fail to realize that we really should care, because these things are consequential. Even if it seems our lives just carry on unaffected, this is an illusion. The incentives that government creates do trickle down in to average joe's life.
If the US has an administration that -- while bowing to the fossil fuel lobby -- makes it a priority to invest on coal mining and processing, and oil, etc, this will affect all of us at some point.
Coal and fossil fuels (to pick one topic) is not the way of the future. Coal jobs are not coming back (nor should they). We should be investing and focusing on things that are on the right side of history, and incentivize greater demand via policy and fiscal incentives.
Whoever controls government controls the the incentives that determine the direction of the country, and this is why impeachment or not, is consequential.

All in due time
