Well you’ve already seen multiple on this board attempting to gaslight what was said.

Well, TBH what he said was crazy. I picked up on it immediately. Why can't he just say ANY incursion will be bad for Putin? Why did he have to qualify the level of invasion? 

Because there are people that want to nuke Russia over a cyber attack. The war machine is losing money when bullets aren’t flying.

OK, I was behind just got done watching the part about Ukraine. Why in the world would he say something to like a minor incursion would elicit a lesser response? WTF? So a little bit is OK? Just take the eastern half? Very bizarre statement essentially saying just don't go too far.

What’s crazy about saying the level of our response will depend on the severity of the action taken by Russia?

This is yet another reason why Pete Buttiege would have been the best president. He’s a centrist do-nothing corporate Democrat placeholder like Biden, except he is an amazingly clear and concise communicator with executive presence and poise. What is the opportunity cost of wasted hours and cycles spent mopping up the mess Biden makes anytime he speaks because “what he said isn’t actually what he meant if you stick with the rambling point until the 5 minute broken sentence is finished”.

Executive communication would serve the next President well just in terms of saving time and taking away ammo for the opposition. At least make it harder for them to twist your words.

The Ds had a legitimate beef. The Rs just lick shit off of boots without question.

Maybe that’s because we’ve been electing geriatrics and a middle aged O&G man.

Millennials running for President can and should be better.

so I just listened to that clip and what I heard was him say that if we don't pass the election reform law and have a federal takeover of elections, then the probability of illegitimate elections increase?  He was stuttering and confused on the question and years so I want to make sure that I interpreted that correctly

Yes people have never been purged from voter registration lists. You don’t want certain people to be able to vote as easily as you and I because then your team loses. You’re anti-democratic if you don’t support the passage of the new voting rights bill. It’s not even up for debate really.

OK, well looks like you get to claim illegitimate election coming up because that bill is not passing. BTW if something is unconstitutional it will be fought in court and deemed as such. It's already happening with redistricting. Also, by saying it isn't even up for debate doesn't really mean it isn't. You decide that?

Expand  

Yes the supremes certainly have shown they care about the constitution.

No the constitution decides that it’s not debatable. I wasn’t aware it listed exclusions on who was allowed to vote.

Considering our own AG Paxton wants to be able to throw out any votes he deemed questionable. So, yeah, I believe that if the voters rights bill doesn’t pass, we are fucked.

Hell - just look at the change of my TX-22 district. It’s a complete farce and fuck the Texas GOP for drawing lines like this.

Every citizen should be automatically and forever registered to vote when they turn 18. They should be issued a free government picture id that gets updated every 10 years. Every citizen should be able to vote by mail or in person. Early voting should be open for 30 days leading up to any election. No polling place should be more than 1/4 mile away. That's a start

This sequence.  Trump and his captive media outlets have relentlessly sold a lie intended to convince half the country that our election process is rife with fraud.

It is a lie.  Promulgated for a dishonest purpose, creating a "voter trust" issue out of thin air, which is then used as an excuse to restrict voting access, which just so happens to 1) be an admitted goal and plan for that party, and 2) is going 100% according to their stated and admitted plan.

If you don't see that the fake "voter trust" issue was manufactured to give the GQP an excuse to restrict voting access because they think that will give them an electoral advantage, you have been purposefully ignoring what the GQP itself has repeatedly said about its plans and goals.

Expand  

So one of the biggest things about “restricting voter access” is about requiring id’s.   That is a fact.   And so many are so vehemently opposed to requiring an id to vote but are ok with requiring an id and vaccination card to go to a fucking restaurant.   
 

yeah.  So restrictive to voter access.  So fucking restrictive.

I agree with everything except polling location proximity and 30 days of early voting. You have great points, then go off the rails with hyperbole at the end. Polling location density should be tied to population density. Used to driving for fucking ever in Lovin Co to rob rich ladies, or just grab a beer? You can drive to vote. And yes, you need a car in Loving CO. Live on campus or downtown, you can likely walk to vote or certainly bus it. Transportation should be a non issue. Fuck let em put a polling station in Montgomery Co trailer parks if density is great enough. Polling locations that take longer than 30 min force mandatory addition of additional staff or locations.

Early voting for two straight weeks including Sundays. Then Election day is a holiday. Anything longer is too much a burden on a lot of volunteer staff, poll watchers, schools, etc.

No problem with a voter ID if it and all paper work to get one is free and easily acquired. If it costs $1 at any point in the process, that’s a poll tax and is unconstitutional.

The new Georgia laws are less restrictive than the New York laws.  But because of things, Georgia is condemned as being restrictive.   
 

why should I need to show a vac card and an id in some jurisdictions to fucking eat in public but those same jurisdictions bitch and moan that making me have an id to prove I’m a registered, citizen voter, are considered restrictive?

The new voter bills being proposed would do the following:

“require that states that require IDs for voting would have to broaden the types of identification acceptable. States would also have to offer same-day voting registration and online registration and also make it easier to register at places like departments of motor vehicles.”

There is nothing that proposes states do away with photo ID requirements. Nothing
