voter rolls & all their other sh^t is because nobody ever challenged them. At least nobody who had the knowledge of how to stop them. We'll be right there to help you & your band of lawyers. Just let us know what you need us to do.

"Be not intimidated nor allow yourselves to be weedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery, and cowardess."

Such fitting words for the current GOP!

Mahalo for that, onetexan

he'll have the last word come November to prove the RW'ers exactly that - MALARKEY

Great quote from a great man Cha

Bedtime now

We always said it (we do have a lot of Irish ancestry).

The same person who uses 'malarkey'.

weasels, assholes, liars and traitors.

From every precinct, on up to the national.hub

Weakness is in the local LAN vulnerability to a hack. Whatever PC/program that compiles votes from machine 1, 2 & 3

malarkey.

The older generation knows the words, looks at Trump and see him as just that.

We know what they tried to pull when they closed the doors at the ONE voting station for 600,000 people in KY the other night and had to get an injunction to let the folks inside to vote. No doubt they are going to be up to "chicanery" or worse in November.

from time to time. Yes, I'm older.
It's use is very appropriate.

chicanery (n.)

c. 1610s, "legal quibbling, sophistry, mean or petty tricks," from French chicanerie "trickery," from Middle French chicaner "to pettifog, quibble".

Is that a serious question?

I remember when some people here were somehow upset over the use of the word “methinks.” Something about being elitist.

It was, as I recall, in the Summer of '92.

Bush had very little to show for himself - especially on the economic front.

But he did have NAFTA, which - hard as it seems to believe now - was still fairly popular in '92 thanks to a massive media campaign in its favor (of course!).

Still, he didn't quite have it because the talks had stalled.

So when asked about why exactly, Bush replied (I'm paraphrasing):

"Well, there's been a good bit of chicanery on the Mexican side."

Suffice it to say, it did not sit well with Chicano voters - and of course Mexicans themselves.

What an odd thing. The word comes from a French word, and has been used for centuries.

In time, Mexican-Americans (those born in the U.S.) came to embrace the term, and it's of course no longer a slur.

But it was originally very much meant as such.

Sure enough, when Bush used the term to describe Mexican negotiating tactics, many in the Chicano community took it as a thinly-veiled slur - to say nothing of Mexicans (in Mexico) themselves.

I remember it being quite a flap in Latin American media - albeit a brief one.

It's another one of those "let's think up a fake origin to make sure people get upset" etymologies.

There are so, so many it's hard to fight all the agitprop/disinformation/misinformation.

Chicanerei means the same thing in German, and is a word used in everyday conversation.

grew up with that word.

its a generational thing. Mom never swore but she smoked pot a time or two.

Its a good word.

Learning multiple synonyms also makes thinking and replying in another language easier. At least, this has been true for me.
