Whoops! In which extreme self-righteousness contains its own punishment.
I must say this story is somewhere between schadenfreude and schadenboner...
[CENTRALMAINE] SKOWHEGAN -- A local propane dealer who said in a recent message that he won’t sell to anyone who voted for President-elect Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... has been delivering and dispensing gas without a state license for at least two years, state officials said this week.
Michael Turner, who operates of Turner LP Gas Service on Canaan Road, left a message for would-be customers on his company’s voice mail, saying "If you voted for Donald Trump for president, I will no longer be delivering your gas. Please find someone else.
Michael Turner, who operates of Turner LP Gas Service on Canaan Road, left a message for would-be customers on his company’s voice mail, saying "If you voted for Donald Trump for president, I will no longer be delivering your gas. Please find someone else." That message was left on a Friday, when the weather was bitterly cold. The message goes on to say that the cost of gas remains $110 a bottle, with payment due on delivery.
However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... Turner is not licensed to sell gas. According to the Maine Fuel Board, Turner’s propane license expired in 2012. Turner had two licenses, one for delivery and the other for dispensing, which expired in 2012 and 2014, respectively. The board became aware of the issue after the news of Turner’s message was reported by the Portland Press Herald late last week.
According to records with the Maine Fuel Board, Turner was first licensed to sell propane in 1998. Doug Dunbar, a spokesperson for the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation, said the department is aware that Turner’s license expired. It is illegal to operate without a license. He said anyone can renew a license at any time, and someone operating without a license could face disciplinary action from the department or fines from the state attorney general’s office. As part of the renewal process, an inspection of the location would be conducted to make sure it meets code requirements.
Jamie Py, president of the Maine Energy Marketers Association, said a company operating without the proper licenses was uncommon and that it is "a big liability" not to have licensing, as there are safety provisions in licenses. He did say it could be difficult to find out someone was operating without a license, though, especially if it "isn’t obvious."

He's Dimocrat. Laws, licenses, documentation are for Republicans.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officials only archived 86 text messages out of 3.1 million agency employees sent and received in 2015, according to a federal watchdog's report made public Wednesday by House Committee on Science, Space and Technology Chairman Lamar Smith.
The EPA Office of Inspector General (IG) released the report requested by the Texas Republican, which described enormous text message retention problems within the EPA. One unnamed senior official configured his phone to automatically delete texts after 30 days.
The IG claimed EPA officials never "intentionally" violated the Federal Records Act and did not include the low number of archived texts in the body of its report, relaying it instead to congressional staff. and just how was "unintentional" determined?

..I believe he is using Comey's definition of 'intent'. Seems to be a pattern.
On the other hand, misuse a word or term that might be misconstrued as racist or sexist, then there is no concern about 'intent' by this same crowd.

The FOIA is based on laws mandating archiving messages with penalties for noncompliance. This would be an excellent reason to start RIF'ing the deadwood atop the EPA -- Retire or be fired.
I don't believe text messages that *individuals* send arise to the level of a "public record". I think that *mass* text messages (wherein an agency employee sends out a text to more than one employee) ARE "public records", and should be preserved as such by the sender.
Since one person texting another (in my view) doesn't arise to the level of a "public record", I also don't think it should shield anyone from wrongdoing. For example, an employee shouldn't be able to claim immunity from an action by asserting that his boss "texted me that it was ok to proceed". "Public records" should include the policy manuals for the given agency and all email correspondance (yes Hillary, even about yoga classes), but not singular trading of text messages between two individuals.
There should also be a clear understanding that "we" (the given agency) neither make nor interpret policy decisions by text message.

I was under the impression that all government agencies had everything backed up to a secure backup in case of major disruption. If so things could be retrieved from the backup.

Final vote tallies from the November 8 election show that Democrat Hillary Clinton out-polled President-elect Donald Trump by 2.8 million votes while losing the contest by a wide margin in the all-important Electoral College.
Her upper hand with voters, however, came down to performances in New York and California that were far stronger than necessary.
Clinton won California by 4.2 million and took New York by more than 1.6 million. The combined 5.8 million-vote advantage in just those two states was more than twice the size of her overall edge nationwide.
When the dust settled, she lost the rest of the country by 3 million votes.

The fact that Hillary had more Electoral College turncoats than Mr. Trump is just beautiful. All those Hollywood pukes can just stuff it...and board a plane to the destination of their choosing (as previousky announced)!

Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

[FOXNEWS] Incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower. , smarting from the Democratic Party´s big November losses, is blaming the messengers. With Christmas days away, nearly every member of the Senate Democratic Media Center has been fired, a senior Democratic aide confirmed to Fox News. Schumer swung the axe on Friday, according to Politico, which first obtained "goodbye" emails from staffers, including some with decades´ experience. The move comes amid plans to revamp the unit, which handles video content, in an effort to help the Senate Democratic caucus get their message out in the New Year.

Lost control of the White House. check
Lost control of Congress. check
Lost control of state legislatures and governorships. check
It may not be the message but the product there, boss. But, yes, go ahead and hire a good party faithful NYC PR firm to take over. I'm sure you'll spend good money talking down to the deplorables about how racists and terrible they are to put their own interests ahead of the urban narrative.

Trump beat all 17 candidates in his party and he beat Hillary--a terrible candidate, the MSM, a Dem-corrupted process, tons of wealthy donor money that supported Hillary, Wall Street, Hollywood and Silicone Valley and Schumer is still looking for scapegoats for why Hillary lost?
[ABC7NY] New York's attorney general is calling on the B.O. regime to eliminate what he calls an "unconstitutional religious registry" that targets Moslems.
"We can't risk giving President-elect Trump the tools to create an unconstitutional religious registry," Schneiderman said. "We can never allow our nation to return to the dark days of Japanese internment."
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced Wednesday that he sent a letter to President B.O. asking him to rescind the regulatory framework of the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System --before Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... takes office.
"We can't risk giving President-elect Trump the tools to create an unconstitutional religious registry," Schneiderman said. "We can never allow our nation to return to the dark days of Japanese internment."
Remind us: which president did that and to what party did he belong?

When I checked into a Hilton Garden Inn a couple of weeks ago, I had to show my driver's license and a credit card. Question: should it be easier to get into the United States than to get into a Hilton Garden Inn?

New York's attorney general is calling on the Obama administration to eliminate what he calls an "unconstitutional religious registry" that targets Muslims.
It's not going to happen. If Schneiderman has a beef about a so-called registry, and giving Trump all the keys to the Presidency, wouldn't the proper way to do this to be through legislation or to go through the courts?
Schneiderman is conjuring up inflammatory images by citing "the dark days of Japanese internment." BTW, it was FDR, a Dem, who put into place this program. Schneiderman is another Dem obstructionist trying to throw monkey wrenches into the machinery.
So, we have a current POTUS who wants to open the floodgates to immigrants from countries hostile to the U.S. Likely, many of these immigrants would be jihadists intent on doing us harm. They would take advantage of our freedoms to this harm.
How can one claim refugee status? The Departmetn of State outline who can claim refugee status: How do you decide who gets in to the United States under this program and who doesn't?
The Department of Homeland Security has the authority to make this decision. Under U.S. law, a refugee must have a well-founded fear of persecution based on one of the five “protected grounds”:
· Religion
· Political opinion
· Race
· Nationality
· Membership in a particular social group
If one must let people in from this part of the world, why not let in Christians. They fit the above criteria?
