Latest Drone :
NYPD has recovered/found a 5 Foot wide/high drone. It was on a sidewalk near the Brooklyn Navy Yard, not operational at the time.
The owner is claiming it was being used in the past month, as an example for electric usage.
More Detective investigation is needed.

There are overwhelming facts that there WAS a far-reaching attempt, both Federal AND State collusion to jail Trump and then exclude him from candidacy for President.
From Fannie/Wade meeting with Federal people, to using illegally appointed Special Prosecutor's, to having the # 3 person at the Washington DOJ resign and then turn up as an Assistant Prosecutor in Manhattan !
The sexual assault in Bergdorf Goodman is also suspect ! I worked at Saks just a little bit down 5 Th Ave in the early to mid 70's, when it allegedly occurred, although she was unable to name any Date OR Year !
I would always get my haircut/styled at Bergdorf's men's salon upstairs. She is claiming that she was attacked on the first floor in a dressing room at B-G ! But Saks didn't have full dressing rooms on the first floor, because of the type of retail goods for sale on floor # 1. Small leather goods, men's ties, women's cosmetics, jewelry, sweaters, gloves, and other small items. I have to assume B-G was similar in design for maximum profitability !
Stone, God love you. I’ll explain it to you like happy hour is almost ending. These Democrat idiots from tiny states are trying to get rid of their electoral power which they have held for 65-249 years respectively. They may as well give up their equal representation in the Senate to completely make their states slaves to CA, TX, FL, and NY.
The Democrats just hate America and are willing to castrate their own states to sink it. Truly sad..
That’s laughable. It had to do with representation of all people in all states. Small states/large states. Just like the Senate. Absolutely no relation to slavery.
Why Was the Electoral College Created? | HISTORY
The Founding Fathers had to compromise when it came to devising a system to elect the president.

You should stay out of the discussion as your statement is the most uninformed yet.
Loser Jim Acosta has his gig back. I would hope he isn’t allowed WH press credentials.
Any Republican or Democrat who is not for the Wall and sending the criminals back needs to be primaried.
LOL. I even provided a specific link. No mention of slaves.
Dems are pushing this because it’s much easier to cheat when illegal votes can be added anywhere eyes aren’t on the counting. Having battleground states with Republican lawyers ready to pounce at any sign of possible cheating just doesn’t do it for them now.
This “representative” must not have received the memo from the election that a large portion of legal Hispanic immigrants voted for Trump. “Unsafe”. What a dweeb she is.
I can't read the whole article since I don't subscribe to the Washington Post, but I'm sure it is fair and balanced:
"President-elect Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Monday night against the Des Moines Register newspaper and its highly respected former pollster, adding to his ongoing legal attacks against news media companies."
Actually I'm glad I can't read it.

Complete nonsense. Conduct some business and forget these bogus complaints that are created for performative politics.
The way I was taught, the electoral college approach was a compromise to stay away from Greece-style pure democracy, which ended badly, and having legislators choose, which undermines separation of power. The regrettable 3/5 compromise was primarily linked to determining the number of house seats for each state. That does indirectly affect the electoral college as the number of electoral votes are equal to the total of senators + house reps for each state, but the purpose of the electoral college was not to protect slavery. And yes, I opted out of the 1619 Project indoctrination.
Don't bother just like I don't bother engaging with stoney any more on this subject. He provides no substantive links to support his "out there" view on this anyway.
OK HERE IS A PORTION OF THE ARTICLE "WHY WAS THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE CREATED" POSTED BY UNCOACH THAT SUPPOSEDLY DOESN"T MENTION SLAVERY. You three are wrong. Is this the substantive proof you seek, that UNCOACH posted but you did not read? LOL
But determining exactly how many electors to assign to each state was another sticking point. Here the divide was between slave-owning and non-slave-owning states. It was the same issue that plagued the distribution of seats in the House of Representatives: should or shouldn’t the Founders include slaves in counting a state’s population?
In 1787, roughly 40 percent of people living in the Southern states were enslaved Black people, who couldn’t vote. James Madison from Virginia—where enslaved people accounted for 60 percent of the population—knew that either a direct presidential election, or one with electors divvied up according to free white residents only, wouldn’t fly in the South.
“The right of suffrage was much more diffusive [i.e., extensive] in the Northern than the Southern States,” said Madison, “and the latter could have no influence in the election on the score of Negroes.”
The result was the controversial “three-fifths compromise,” in which three-fifths of the enslaved Black population would be counted toward allocating representatives and electors and calculating federal taxes. The compromise ensured that Southern states would ratify the Constitution and gave Virginia, home to more than 200,000 slaves, a quarter (12) of the total electoral votes required to win the presidency (46).

Not only was the creation of the Electoral College in part a political workaround for the persistence of slavery in the United States, but almost none of the Founding Fathers’ assumptions about the electoral system proved true.
Yeah, I know, but no reason the rest of us can't chat about a subject that's in the news. People forget that natural/agricultural resources are important too, and effectively disenfranchising states that aren't dominated by urban areas is not a good idea and in the extreme can lead to situations like what happened in the Soviet Union between the world wars. Ironically perhaps, I think primarily in Ukraine.
You can try to come up with justification to keep an antiquated system as it benefits your party, but the justifications are unrelated to why the Founding Fathers came up with the idea. That was our discussion. It will last until a Republican candidate gets the most votes but loses the electoral count. Then the electoral college will be amended away.
As long as your party stays in the radical far left lane, I don't see it mattering much.
