    Republicans want to go back to ways of thinking that were exclusionary, biased, and wrong. They miss the days when they oppressed everybody, but those hateful days are thankfully over and we’re never going back. Too much progress has been made, and the correct movement is correctly named progressive.  

    We like to call those the "Good ole days".

    Real Americans know “outsiders” don’t affect US elections. Our elections are cleanest and safest in the world.

    That's interesting, especially when reading what Hillary Clinton has to say about it.

    "Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton argued Wednesday that Russian meddling in the 2016 election in large part cost her the White House..."

    That's a direct quote from the way left "news" outlet NPR in June 2017 explaining why the Democrat candidate claims she lost the bid for the presidency. It seems, contrary to your claim, that it was due to outsiders meddling in our election process. 

    I wonder what you said about clean safe elections after Trump beat Hillary.

    I get intel we’ve been played from Trump’s now resigned Counterterrorism Chief.

    This is the hidden content, please

    I think vastly the entire free world believes that Iran is either directly or indirectly a global threat. You already know this, but I'll continue because I like to "hear" myself talk. Iran poses a multifaceted threat to global stability, primarily through its sponsorship of terrorist proxies, expanding missile programs and advancements in nuclear technology. It threatens U.S. and allied interests in the Middle East via groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. One guy, however qualified he may be, ain't gonna change my mind on that one...

    Trump appoints stupid people?

    Sure, both "sides" do. Especially in his first term.

    But maybe I should qualify my comment. I'm sure the guy isn't quote "stupid". Does he suffer from amathia? Maybe. Or maybe a quote from political consultant Taylor Budowich has something to do with it. “This isn’t some principled resignation — he just wanted to make a splash before getting canned."

    It is another layer of security.....

    Democrats, some on this forum, claimed in 2020 that walls/fences didn't work.  The Biden administration claimed that as they put a fence around the white house.  You could use that claim that locks don't work.....People put metal front doors on their home and feel secure, while they have 37 windows on their homes that could be broken into in a matter of seconds.

    Layers of security will help prevent fraud......but as we get smarter, so do the crooks.....

    Apparently the only ones that don't get smart are women and poor folks who can't figure out how to change their names....

    One could say DNA testing could be used instead. It would definitely be more effective. But it's over the top and, quite frankly, is unwarranted. 

    Anyone can fake a birth record with minimal effort. But our political "leaders" come up with stupid crap that for some reason we blindly jump on board with thinking, "Yeah, that'll show 'em!" But it doesn't do anything if someone really wants to cheat the system. All it really does is muddy the water and give the other side a chance to claim SUPPRESSION! RACISM! 

    Hell, let's cut the crap and just start getting chipped.

    And how you would like to be an election worker when some grumpy old white dude who had to leave his maga hat in the Crown Vic finds out that he can’t vote because he didn’t re-register, and has to come up with a birth certificate or more to be registered for the next go-round?

    On that note, I'm looking for a Crown Vic - old 90's police interceptor style if anyone has one hanging around.

    I don't have a problem having to show a common ID and proving that I'm eligible to vote. I think that is a must. But this is getting a bit ludicrous. What does having to show a passport or birth certificate accomplish? Does anyone here think it solidifies a person is who they say they are? Do we really believe that these forms of ID (especially birth certificates) are not easily forged or falsified?

    I don't think this SAVE Act is intentional voter suppression, although I think it could have that effect. I think it's more like the political right saying, "Hey look what we did! They stole the election, and we are going to fix it!" It's a dollar store band-aid at best.

    And the Left cries "VOTER SUPPRESSION!". But if they hadn't tried to open the borders to illegals in order to garner more votes, if they hadn't been caught with their hand in the cookie jar on numerous occasions and if they would agree to simple voter ID (not the SAVE Act), then this whole SAVE Act thing would never have been an issue.

    Asking for proof of identification at the ballot box, a precaution deemed necessary when buying alcohol or boarding an airplane and many other common instances, hardly seems inappropriate.

    Nor does it seem outlandish for states to routinely inspect their voter rolls to detect and purge inaccurate and out-of-date registrations, a requirement under the National Voter Registration Act.

    But, for me, the SAVE Act is unnecessary. It really doesn't accomplish what we want to believe it will.

     

  20. This forum is on shaky ground

    Looks like I'm late to the party. As some of you know, I used to be a regular contributor. And I've always been pretty quick to let my feelings be known when I agree/disagree with a comment. Years ago, I would often give little personal attacks - especially on the football forum (ironic, huh); however, I quit doing that quite a while back. Should've never done it in the first place. It was all in fun for me, but not everyone takes it that way. I quit posting as much because it doesn't feel like discussion or even a spirited argument anymore. It's continual bashing from both sides, and I don't think either side is changing any of the other side's minds. Kinda the way this entire country is going these days, really.

    I still like to get on and look and read from time to time. I may even comment. But it's lost some of the glow for me.

    And if I'm being honest AAW, for a while you really made me question whether or not I would ever login again. That was quite a few year's ago, but it's always stuck with me. I realize and understand that this is a privately held site that can do as they please and run it however they want, but I didn't feel right about commenting on this topic without saying this. No hard feelings and it's all good, but it was definitely a bothersome issue for me.

    All that being said, I'll end this post with this:

    "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" -Proverbs 15:1

    "My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry..."  -James 1:19

    It doesn’t matter… if he’d been born a Trump instead of a Boykin, everybody would be busy blaming the victims, like they always do.  

    And if he'd been born a Biden, his Daddy would blindly pardon him...

    Or if her name was Mary Jo Kopechne it would've been swept under the rug...  

    But wtf does Trump or anyone else have to do with this conversation???

    He did not receive bipartisan applause. He is financially benefiting from being President. Many of the things that he is doing is a conflict of interest. He is selling Bibles, cologne, and crypto currency. What was he trying to get people to invest in last night? Something that will eventually give people 100,000?

    I will agree that he is not perfect, and there are things I don't like about him; however:

    (1) do you like that drug trafficking is down?

    (2) do you like that gas is around $2.25 per gallon for the first time since I can remember?

    (3) do you like that you get a tax break on the premium portion of your OT? Do you like the cost of eggs, butter and other staples being cut by 1/3 or more?

    (4) do you like inflation going from around 9% to around 3%?

    (5) do you like that illegal border crossings are down like 236 gazillion percent? (Sorry, didn't know the actual stat, but this one is probably close)

    (6) whether you like the man or not, do you like that he's not being led around by the Easter bunny, falling off a plane, falling off a bike, wandering off looking for someone to shake his hand, whispering incoherently into a microphone, hiding in a basement, calling men women, calling women men? ... I could literally come up with this crap all day.

    Reply with any of these positives you like. If you don't reply, I will assume you like them all like I do.
