In their war against legal voting, targeting populations that are statistically more likely to vote Democrats, Minnesota's candidate for SOS, Kim Crockett, think that allowing disabled and non-English speaking voters to vote with help "raises the question, should they be voting?"
Republicans want to bring back poll testing, but specifically only if it targets unlikely Republican voters.“So, the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that indeed you can help an unlimited number of people vote if they are disabled or can’t read or speak English, which raises the question, should they be voting?” she said during the September 2020 radio interview, which occurred less than a week after the ruling. “We can talk about that another time.”
In which Republicans, again, think that Democrats are all just as dishonest and corrupt as they are, and can't seem to fathom that Democrats writ large, aren't. Want more?“The reason why the state legislature wanted to limit the number of people who could assist is that they worried that vulnerable voters would be taken advantage of and that political operatives, or other people with bad motives, would assist an unlimited number of people by influencing their votes with their own preferences,” Crockett said. “As an Election Day attorney I’ve witnessed, over and over, vulnerable voters being ‘assisted’ who have no idea how to fill out their ballot, who is on it or even what it’s for; their assistant tells them what to do and then moves on to the next voter.”
Just with the outright whistle, because Republicans have given up dog whistling. Want more?“I think of America, the great assimilator, as a rubber band, but with this — we’re at the breaking point,” Crockett said, according to The New York Times. “These aren’t people coming from Norway, let’s put it that way. These people are very visible.”
Some antisemitism to go along with it, too.At the May state GOP convention, Crockett also played an antisemitic video that portrayed Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon (D), who is Jewish, as a puppet of George Soros, the Jewish billionaire who contributes to numerous liberal-leaning campaigns, organizations and causes.
The irony is Trumpism made people switch real ugly on Bush/Cheney. Mainly for the Iraq War. Now I'm all for people who think that Bush was horrible and the Iraq War in particular was very wrong. I share this. Yet here is the problem. Most the of the are die hard conservatives who will eat shit if they think that makes them more Patriot to own the Libs. Almost all these people literally called people traitors who questioned the Iraq War and WMD. Look at the Dixie Chicks.
As I stated people can change and I'm for it but they didn't go to the party that some went voted for the War, did question the war and came to conclusion it was horribly wrong. So in the end the Republican Party was hijacked but I still contend there was very much fascism, racism and white nationalism before Trump. They just hate Cheney now, cause he is not bowing before god, emperor Trump.
Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!

In which Jesse Waters thinks that a woman needs to get married and pop out a kid before they're ready to be president. Qualifications that are nowhere in the Constitution, mind you."With age comes wisdom and she’s pretty young. That’s my nice way of saying she’s not very smart," Watters told his "The Five" co-hosts. "You know when you like pick a banana and the banana’s in your hand and it’s green and then even if you try to peel it, it’s still not even peeling? That’s AOC. She’s not ripe enough to run for president."
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is currently engaged to longtime boyfriend Riley Roberts. At 32, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is not old enough to run for the highest office in the country, as the Constitution prevents anyone under the age of 35 to serve as president.
Watters acknowledged Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's engagement, adding "then you have to get pregnant."
"Why?" Greg Gutfeld, a "The Five" co-host, asked Watters.
"This is how it goes. Just follow me, Greg. You get married. Then you get pregnant and then once you have the baby, you have a family and the media loves it," Watters explained. "They eat it up. And it makes you more of a mature person."
I swear, Republican men daily hate-masturbate to AOC and wish that she'd step on them.
Don't worry, he has other opinions too -
Because he seems to have issues with pregnant women, too.On May 5, "FOX & Friends" host Brian Kilmeade said he didn’t “know why you’d give” a pregnant woman an “important” job when discussing Nina Jankowicz's appointment to a Department of Homeland Security advisory board.
At the time, Jankowicz was eight months pregnant.
“I’m not sure how you get a job and then you just — you can’t do a job for three months,” Kilmeade said, referring to a three-month-long maternity leave the Fox News host assumed Jankowicz would take after giving birth.
“I’m not faulting her," he added, "but I don’t know why you would give someone a job that you think is so important."
Man, it sure just seems like Republican men just don't really like women doing anything beyond being walking baby factories.
Haha! I don't know where to put this but this is great.
Hello I would like to share with you the most astonishing thing I have ever seen
At this CPAC booth you receive a silent disco headset that plays harrowing testimony from people arrested for participating in J6
Instead of dancing, you stand around and watch this guy cry
Vid embedded please watch.
So we have a performance artist at CPAC who sat in a jail and cried nonstop (props to the artist). For you know, the injustice and persecution of Jan 6 rioters, insurrectionist.
Conservatives talk about liberal tears and reacting with "eff your feelings". LUL.
Democrats are the best! I will never ever question a Democrat again. I LOVE the Democrats!
If the Republicans want to bring in some kind of intellectual test of whether you are fit to vote, then good luck to them. I'm pretty sure it won't work out for them the way they want.
Only joking, btw. Any sort of restrictions on voting like that are asking for trouble. Especially if a party like the Republicans get hold of them.
When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

Doesn't sound like that privilege will work with the grand jury: (Nick Ackerman served as an assistant special Watergate prosecutor)
Ackerman said that unlike the House panel, federal investigators won't let the former Trump lawyer cite executive privilege over conversations he had with Trump in his final days in office.
"They (the jan 6th committee) allowed him to claim attorney-client privilege. None of this is going to go anywhere with the feds," Ackerman said. "He is going to claim privileges with individual questions. They will take him to a court judge, who is going to order him to testify and tell him there is no privilege."
The former Watergate prosecutor said Cipollone could try to appeal those rulings, but he added that the investigation would move much swifter than the House committee's hearings have this summer.
"Pat Cipollone is going to be talking more before the grand jury," he said.

Apparently a group of women here in Texas have co-oped MAGA for to start a group called Mothers Against Gregg Abbott.

So they finally admit that not everyone wants to come to the US and Scandinavians rather stay where they are?
One could now ask the question "Why do they not want to come?" and maybe come up with the answer "Well, seems life is better in Norway" and then ask the question "But why is it better?" and then come to many conclusions.
If only Republicans were intelligent life forms... *sigh*
The fact he goes hard after drug dealers when he himself is a known massive coke fiend and was for years along with his son. Hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug.

When he first announced his candidacy, I thought he was the joke candidate as there is usually one every election during the primaries. I stated back then and state it now, anyone who votes for Trump deserves all the derision and ridicule that can be mustered as he is literally one of the worst humans living today. A fascist, authoritarian scumbag. I would rather vote for dirt on the street then him.
In a shining example of "how not to do statistics:, FOX News surveys people at a Trump rally about who they want to run in 2024.
Big surprise: FOX News polls at Trump rallies get people who want Trump to run. What are the odds?
Looks like FOX News is in trouble. Anyone in their right mind reading this would assume they were being sarcastic.Another Trump fan said: "We had everything great under Trump. Now everything is a disaster. It should be obvious to everybody that the country needs Trump back."
Yeah, I still don't really understand how the fuck he became the president. Everyone thought he was a joke. This whole notion of how the chaos he creates might actually bring some good out of it as also baffling to me. Especially when the one creating it is a moron and an opportunist, only ever looking for himself. He's a businessman, and that's what businessmen do. If anyone thought that a wealthy businessman would make a good president, because he'd use his skills to make the country rich, is as stupid as Trump is. No sweetheart, they don't do it to make others rich. Just themselves.
Trump voters got exactly what they wanted, in Trump. His election was not in any way an accident or a mistake. It's what those Americans wanted. The fascism, the bigotry, the hatemongering, the scapegoating, the intentional harms towards ideological enemies. That was what Trump voters wanted, and it's what they got. You're struggling to see the reasonable justifications for supporting Trump, but it wasn't reasonable. It's like wondering why anyone listens to David Duke or any of the hate-preachers out there; the petty abuses and encouragement of violence is what the audience is seeking out.
