have you looked under the rocks? I hear that's where the hordes of disenfranchised people live. And in caves. Have you looked in caves?

So which is it? Are you privy to Trump's thoughts and motives or not? You're kind of all over the place.
Were they say anything different a decade ago? Americans have been fed up with Congress and politicians for a long time.Most sane people in America believe we're headed in the wrong direction.
Heading into 2024, most Americans believe country headed in the wrong direction: POLL
A year before the presidential election, three-quarters of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.abcnews.go.com
The interesting thing to me is:
Americans trust Republicans to do a better job handling the economy over Democrats 35%-25%, and, on inflation, they trust Republicans to do a better job 35%-21%.
Why? Historically economy has done well under Dems, and inflation-aside it is doing well now, especially in relation to the world. WTF is Trump going to do regarding inflation? See: aggressive tariff hikes, tax cuts and cheap money policy, all of which analysts say could threaten to reheat inflation.
Did you see the list above of 3 or 4 things? Those things are correlated with elderly and minority populations. So those are the people who would be voter-supressed unless things were fixed.
When was it EVER going in the "right direction" by the "vast majority?" The next time ALL people are happy with everything will be the first time.
no, you're just saying I'm all over the place. That he didn't need more than he asked for isn't a matter of what was in his mind, it's common sense...which you have little if any of. If he needed more than what he asked for, he might as well have not bothered to ask for any at all. I know this is taxing for you, so take your time, maybe run it by some of the other third-graders and maybe they can help you understand.
And what he stated is what he stated. You see, once something is stated, it no longer resides only in the mind. It's 'out there'', but in a different way than @strummingram is out there.
I guess you prefer anarchy, and the perfect world you think would result. LOL, you fvking belong in that rabbit hole with Tweedledee and Tweedledumber.
Politics is just the natural evolution of tribal structure, which is something we inherited from our simian ancestors. Like it or not, politics is what we must have even in an autocratic leadership, let alone as in a freer country. Accept it and try to make it better every chance you get.
I want to see specific questions regarding the key issues. "What would you propose doing to secure the border and fix our immigration system? What do you think should be done to decrease inflation and reduce the cost of living? What should be done to hold China responsible for expediting the flow of Fentanyl into our country? What do you think should be done to reduce the wave of crime that is sweeping over America?" Etc...
Every country in Europe but one requires a voter ID. Many have laws limiting absentee voting to a very small percentage of cases. They're a melting pot and you don't hear people crying "disenfranchisement" because they need an ID and have to make the effort to vote in person. It greatly lessens the possibility of cheating and that is something everyone should desire. Right?
I won't bother substantiating this. so I'll just say my belief is that dems take a decent economy and run it into the ground, where it's turned over to republicans to dig up and fix...and when it's fixed, complacency takes over again and control is handed back to the dems because of social naivete. Social agendas run the economy into the ground again, and...lather, rinse, repeat.
I know it isn't that simple and I know that there are valid arguments challenging this but I do believe there is that underlying pattern. Prove me wrong.
zackly.
And I was going to comment earlier that absentee ballots should be allowed only where they are necessary. That includes more than just the military though, the truly infirm should have a reasonable path as well. Some other instances that don't come to mind, but I have said all along that if you're too sorry to get your ass up off the sofa and go vote, it's YOU who are denying yourself of your right. That being said, I am also in favor of a voting period and not just a day...as long as voters actually show up with their valid credentials.
This must be a question for our libs on the board.
Begin voting on Saturday. Vote Sunday and Monday with Monday being a holiday.
The vast majority of nonvoters do not vote because they don’t care. The nonvoters that don’t vote because it’s difficult for them is minuscule. This idea that people are being suppressed is laughable and nothing more than democrat propaganda so they can bus them in and incentivize them to vote the way they want them to. Looks like a bunch of you morons are buying that.
so your huge beef is that Trump has never conceded? He didn't exhibit good sportsmanship? Well, boo hoo then. I thought we were discussing criminality.
I have said over and over that he should have just let it go, but at the same time I'm not bothered by him trying to get things right. I wouldn't have been bothered by Hillary doing so either, but you can believe I would have been calling sour grapes on her dumb ass. But sour grapes isn't criminal and I wouldn't try to make it seem to be.
He just wasn't capable of bailing as fast as the water was coming in and he should have seen that and abandoned ship. But just because he didn't see that doesn't make him a criminal.
I would actually go a full week or even a little more. Hell, it wouldn't bother me if the polls were open for six months as long as the voters were properly credentialed. As a matter of fact, that might actually lend to legitimacy, depending on how it was structured.
I scoff at the notion that conservatives want to restrict voting rights. With the possible exception of some fringe right-wingers, I don't believe the the left is AS concerned with the right to vote and vote legitimately.
I said...many times... he KNOWS where the grey areas are regarding criminality. But, criminal is also a subjective reference. Will he go to jail? Hell no. Is he compromising the faith and trust Americans have in their elective process? Abso-fvcking-lutely. He doesn't "let it go." That's the problem. He does the opposite. He incessantly insists it was "stolen." It wasn't stolen at all. And, the effect of him not "letting it go" is going to have worse results than if he had "committed a crime." He has the right to lie, I guess. But, the cult doesn't possess the ability to differentiate a lie from the truth.
Blah, blah, blah, I'm sure you would find something to complain about if your candidate lost.
Dershowitz is an asshole. The legal world in our country looks to him as if he's some sort of lawyer-God, but he's just a sellout. I'll never forget when after the OJ trial was over, he was singled out and asked very publicly if there was a flaw in our system that allowed the well-off to 'buy' justice.
Of course that's the case and it's a huge flaw, but Dershowitz decided to take the lawyer POV and point out the pro bono work and other free legal access for the indigent. That doesn't address whatsoever the glaring fact that justice can be more or less bought in this country. And that's just with criminal cases. Civil cases provide even less access, and if a lawyer doesn't think you stand a good chance of winning he won't even touch your case. So you don't have one.
Dershowitz had the opportunity to put the spotlight on a great flaw in our system of justice and he passed. It is such an obvious one that it took a lot of gall for him to dismiss it in favor of maintaining the status quo.
you're taking try-too-hard to new levels of vapidity. I don't mind pointing out your idiocy, but even that is starting to become tiresome to me here. If that's your plan, it's working.
I'm aware of the above list if that's to what you are referring. However, you cited a bunch of alleged things without a source (which leads me to believe that it's from the DNC, Axios, your bald claims, etc.) so I dismissed it as unreliable claims. However, none of that explains how any of those assertions disenfranchises minorities or the elderly. Frankly, it's insulting to every single minority or elderly person out there.
More importantly, I don't believe you that these are actual impediments to people who want to vote. If the cable went out and they needed a new box to watch their shows, they'd have a relative/friend/uber give them a ride to the cable store. If they were getting some type of government payment or benefits, but had to show up on a specific day of the week to get the next payment, I bet they'd show up on that day.
This is about motivation and desire. You don't pop into the 24/7 convenience store to grab a hot dog and an ID. I'm not going to apologize for placing a level of importance to the idea that voting is part of what separates us from others and it's a minimal burden to ask that they have ID. No amount of false claims about it being designed to suppress minorities and elderly makes it true.
no attorney that bills their hours is saying no to a case unless there’s a conflict of interest.
speaking of oj, no party for the departed on here?…color me surprised.
Have you ever heard the post-trial show that Howard Stern did...back when he was still on KROCK? Holy shit! That was CLASSIC!
no, but i’ll add that to the list.
i’m watching an oj doc now that i somehow missed and i’ve learned some new bits of information…not the one with rod tidwell and ross.
“Trump is a moron.”
“Trump is an evil genius.”
“He doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground”.
“Trump knows the gray areas of the law…”
He’s this, he’s that. Y’all can’t even get on the same page with your incessant whining and bitching. I can’t keep up with it all. Sounds like y’all need a TDS meeting so you can get your gripes synchronized.

Well I guess it boils down to reasonable people with different takes on what it means to have a constitutional right and to have that right infringed trying to find common ground rather than being a political party echo chamber.
A few years ago, I saw the dramatization series... the one where Cuba Gooding, Jr.plays OJ, John Travolta played Robert Shapiro (the best acting of the whole series). I dunno how accurate that could have possibly been, but it was definitely binge-worthy. Sarah Paulson became addicted to cigarettes from her role as Marcia Clark. I never followed the trial at all when it was happening. So, when I saw that, I learned all kinds of stuff that went down. Marcia Clark's nude picture scandal, the jury's eternal sequester and people losing their minds, and then getting removed because they had something in their past that disqualified them. Ito's hourglasses! The best part was the portrayal of the Kardashians! "Juice, don't shoot yourself in Kimmie's room!"
you're not thinking this through.. In civil matters, I'm not talking about people who can pay that way. They would tend toward the 'can buy justice' category. I'm talking about the less-moneyed, can NOT buy justice people, those who would have to have their case taken on a contingency basis. Tell me about lawyers who take cases on contingency without a really good chance of cutting into a decent award.
I think the serial killer from Kentucky did it or was party to it. He was in Nicole's place painting it shortly before her demise.
But forget that, what about Marcia Clark nude? And that good-looking writer from Durham who was getting boned by Mark Fuhrman. Nudes of her maybe?
rules me out. Gimme dat echo chamber, chamber, chamber.....
I wonder if our Federal nature adds more complications here... If we had no state level voting it would certainly be easier to get everyone on the same page in terms of a universal voter id.
U.K., Germany, and Poland allow postal voting for all voters. Most others allow absentee voting for people living abroad or who are sick, disabled, etc. Feels similar to mix we have state-wise.
a) Impersonation fraud is INCREDIBLY rare.
b) If people REALLY want to impersonate and cheat in this manner they can forge IDs.
Absentee voting is fine. Mass mail in voting is not.
how they haven't formed a TDS Society kind of thing in order to coordinate their whining and standardize the terms is beyond me. WhoTF is in charge of this shit show anyway? When they do start having meetings, I'm gonna try to get the tissue concession.
Unless your MAGA candidate wins with those votes... Then, it's perfectly fine.
It was OJ... it was definitely OJ.
I'm sure the Internet will work with you on the request for nudes of Marcia Clark.
