The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s demonization of Latinos.

Makes sense to me.

No.

Because his base eats this up

In California we’ve spent $11 billion over 10 years with nothing active to show for it. 120 miles are under construction but aren’t finished or connected to anything. By the time the first usable section is completed (171 miles), it will be at $30 billion.

Was he charged with voter fraud or attempted voter fraud? For many crimes, attempting a crime is a separate crime that carries penalties even if not successful in the actual crime. Not sure if that is the case here.

Your argument is that it is on the system to deal with crime and that a person who commits a crime, even for what is perceived to be a good reason, should not be held liable for breaking the law?

I get that he didn’t actually commit the crime in this case, so there is plausible deniability. But criminal court treats attempting a crime as a crime itself, though with lesser penalties. And in your scenario a crime would have been committed.

As much as I hate using cash, I understand that the credit card companies charge ridiculous fees to businesses and also that people with very low income don’t always have access to digital forms of payment. Maybe Sweden does better with equipping their entire society with digital tools, but in the US I don’t think we are ready for a fully digital payment society.

Old Volvos are basically tanks. A mid-80s 240DL is almost indestructible and is great for anti-gov assholes who don’t want the government spying on them.

In order to stop the genocide we need to vote in the people who will destroy the country and commit even more genocide, in the hopes the wreckage of the country can be salvaged into something better. I’m comfortable making this choice, because the extra genocide will only be happening to other people, not to people like me who look just like them over here in the states.

Well, you see, when every single time election fraud and election interference has been found it is only on the same side, then it tends to make people think there might be something going on in that one side.

There are more things to vote on than just the President. State representation is important.

What’s the downside? If they move away, you haven’t lost anything because they weren’t paying taxes anyway. If they stay, you have just gained tax revenue. And it isn’t like you are going to lose a lot of sales tax money or real estate tax money, since they are not going to stop visiting Paris and buying luxury goods and are not going to sell their properties (that’s why they are so wealthy in the first place).

Also, if they move away then you have fewer billionaires fucking up politics.

My memory is hazy, but I’m pretty sure Mozilla was a package and most people just didn’t install the rest of the package. Everyone called the browser Mozilla because they didn’t use the other parts. I could definitely be wrong, though.

So a 15 year old has been in prison for 15 years for a conviction based solely on witness IDs from a book of photos. Two of the three witnesses said in court they weren’t 100% sure their ID was correct. There was absolutely no other evidence linking him to the crime.

At this point, even if he is guilty I might feel like 15 years is a good sentence for a first time offender who was only 15 at the time of the crime.

The US needs this kind of law. With multiple people switching from Dem to Rep after elections are done, it really undermines the will of the people. Most of them didn’t vote for that specific person because they love that specific person. They voted for someone who represents their ideal government. So when that person does a 180, it should open them up to being kicked out by the party or put up for a special election.

How are we supposed to oppress people if we don’t have people to oppress?!?!

You’re telling me the country that doesn’t allow gay marriage, doesn’t allow adoption by gay couples, and criminalized couples leaving the country to get a surrogate baby (i.e. gay couples) has an issue with cops being homophobic?

And the country whose soccer fans regularly make monkey noises at black players has an issue with cops being racist?

Zero proof of anything and zero reason to doubt anything, yet both women they talked to know in their hearts that the election will be stolen (again in their minds).

The biggest point all those election deniers ignore is that almost the only Republican with any chance of winning who didn’t win that election was Trump. Why would Democrats not steal the election from goddamn Mitch “The Turtle” McConnell? Why would they they “allow” Republicans to gain 12 seats in the house?

One is giving you a gift worth less than $5 for taking part in society, the other is paying you $1M for saying you will vote a specific way. And before you say a gift is a gift, the government has a definition of a gift when it comes to fraud, waste, and abuse. Heck, if we go by your insane equivocation of the two things, those “I voted” stickers are the same as getting free coffee.

Trillian was definitely part of that war. I remember the daily patches to get things working again.
