squistion

https://x.com/Acyn/status/1798060047429419457 (video clip at link) Biden: I will never demonize immigrants. I will never say they are poisoning the blood of our country. I will never separate children from their families at the border. I will not ban people because of religious beliefs…

I was not literally saying that, Straw Man, but carry on.

I think you really need to work on your analogies.

I am old enough to remember folks on the right saying how disrespectful it was for Colin Kaepernick to kneel silently during The National Anthem. How times have changed.

All of us on the left used to be nice (or nicer) but four years of Trump as POTUS and the possibility of another 4+ would make anyone mean. I, for the most part, have maintained my sweet and charming disposition over the years.

What is funny is that I took a hiatus from this forum as long or longer than you, 15+ years and posted at FBG's until they banned political discussion. When I returned here last year, some posters said "That's not really squistion, that's an imposter!" I pointed out that if I was an imposter, I certainly planned far ahead as my joined date is August 25, 2001.

He is one of those here who thinks an abortion is a form of infanticide.

Exactly. And who would want to impersonate an account that had been dormant for years and only those who were active in this forum in the aughts would remember?

https://www.outsports.com/2024/6/4/24095378/outkick-nfl-pride-month-gay-lgbtq-celebrate/ Anti-gay OutKick idiots celebrate NFL teams they falsely claim aren’t celebrating Pride Month Pride Month is upon us, and the NFL is all over it. The league has again created a whole Pride Month apparel line, celebrating the LGBTQ community, love and our football fandom. This is on the heels of an NFL-sponsored LGBTQ Super Bowl party in Las Vegas. On social media, the league has shared Pride-inspired messages from various NFL teams. This is in addition to the year-round support the NFL and its teams show the LGBTQ community. Yet OutKick hack Armando Salguero decided that, because a handful of NFL teams hadn’t yet shared a Pride-specific message in the first three days of Pride Month, this was cause for celebration. They hadn’t “bowed” to the LGBTQ community. He couldn’t even get his homophobia right. One NFL team that OutKick celebrated for allegedly rejecting Pride Month — the Detroit Lions — literally have a Lions Pride apparel line that they’re promoting on their social media account. In fact, every single NFL team — including some of OutKick’s alleged heroes against the gays like the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs — has Pride T-shirts, hats, stickers, you name it. Another team — the Cleveland Browns — may not have posted a message on X about Pride Month. Yet at the NFL Draft, they had an out gay former player with the Browns — Carl Nassib — announce of the team’s draft picks, and he was accompanied by the head of Trevor Project. On national television. Oh yes, they certainly are rejecting the LGBTQ community! Regarding the small handful of NFL teams — less than a third — who haven’t yet shared Pride Month messages, it’s Pride MONTH, not Pride-first-three-days-of-June. Some of these teams will wait until their city has its Pride weekend. And some teams won’t share a message during Pride Month. That doesn’t mean they’ve rejected Pride or the LGBTQ community or anything of the sort. [...]

In an unforgettable moment during her Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum, Adele took a stand against homophobia. While acknowledging the start of Pride Month, an audience member shouted, "Pride sucks." Adele paused her performance to directly address the heckler, saying, "Did you come to my f–kin’ show and say, 'Pride sucks?' Are you f–king stupid? Don’t be so f–king ridiculous."

He's better than having a Google Alert on the subject.

No. Reading is fundamental. My exact words that you just quoted: I didn't report him. I didn't use the report button function. So my record of never having reported anyone here is intact.

Same guy. No reason for me to think otherwise.

Oh, my. I had forgotten about fastfish. His handle was a reference to him being some kind of Bible thumper, or maybe "born again," I think...but it has been like 17 years, so I could be misremembering. And seeing Democrats being referred to as "The Sodomite Party" seems almost quaint, doesn't it?

And very uncommon. How many documented cases have there been of this happening?

I would think so.

That doesn't contradict what I posted. From above: People who do same-day voter registration will get a provisional ballot that will become official once the citizen's information has been verified. It could take up to several weeks before the ballot is confirmed and then counted.

For a provisional ballot to be counted, it has to be verified you are a registered voter: https://www.vote411.org/node/8173 You may be asked to vote a provisional ballot if you meet specific criteria, including: You believe you are registered to vote even though your name is not on the official voter registration list at the polling place You signed up to vote by mail but want to vote at your polling place or vote center and you didn't receive or you didn't bring your vote by mail ballot with you and the election official is unable to verify that you have not returned your vote-by-mail ballot. If you are asked to vote a provisional ballot it will be counted after elections officials confirm you are registered to vote and haven't already voted in that election.

I have lived in California for decades and I don't recall of hearing about anyone who was registered being impersonated by someone who voted in their place (it probably has happened but it must be a really race occurrence).

So you are already registered to vote, you neglected to mention that previously.

No that isn't true. I notice that you haven't provided a link, which proves it is just some unverified rumor.

From Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Tribe: https://x.com/tribelaw/status/1797675886398849090 “Trump will appeal his conviction, but the history cannot be appealed. Historians operate on different methods than judges and juries. Yet the verdict contributes to settling the history. Pundits may continue to quibble about this or that about the trial and its aftermath. Historians cannot doubt that Trump won the presidency in 2016 at least in part through criminal means.” ttps://theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jun/03/trump-conviction-republicans-maga-richard-nixon

Yes, he should be sent to prison after being found guilty of 34 felonies. It ain't gonna happen though, because of his Secret Service protection. The logistics are such that either the Secret Service protection will end (don't see that happening) or they are going into the prison with him (and that I'm sure won't happen). What we will see is if Merchan thinks this merits some sort of jail time is a house arrest with an ankle bracelet and a denial of internet access (which he will find the harshest punishment of all).

If it is in furtherance of a second crime, it shouldn't have to be proved that the second crime was actually committed or completed.

I've seen people stop at LGBT+ as not everyone is in agreement as to what the "Q" actually stands for (Queer or Questioning?).
