You know what's more likely, and definitely NOT a conspiracy theory? That if Trump gets elected, he will decide he wants to take over the country forever, so he'll do it, and there are no checks and balances in place to stop it. SCOTUS will approve Trump's executive order to become the new King, because they are dominated by MAGA extremists. Funny thing is, you and the other Lefties here read this and thought "you're gott dam right$#@!" Geenyus

I would have thought that you would advocate for free speech, but hey, you want the government and the old football assistant coach to decide what you hear and say, go lick dem boots.

No

The essay in my link had links to support his numbers. You have your werds attacking the source because they are right of Vox. You are in that mode again where you ignore data and just keep repeating your own beliefs. $31B for illegal immigrant benefits in Cali per year and growing. You still haven't responded to that, and I don't expect you will.

It's weird, I remember Mephisto being better than this.

You are right, Walz can't repeal the first amendment. Great win, troll! Goodnight as well.

Go back and read my response that you trolled to.

Sorry, I made the mistake of thinking you wanted to have a serious discussion about Walz and his opinions on free speech. Duly noted. Carry on, troll.

I would say Walz's desire to restrict free speech is a threat to democracy. Whether or not he could effect such a change at the national level, I don't know. Did you click through the other links? There are other examples.

Interesting article about what a shiot show this effort is, comparing it directly to Katrina. The guy seems to know his stuff and has numbers to back up his assertions. It's long so I won't post the entire thing. https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/04/comparing-helene-to-katrina-suggests-americans-are-left-to-die-because-democrats-run-the-white-house/ He goes on to speculate as to why it may be so bad. I don't know how much of all of this is true, but if this continues, it could be the thing that pushes this election to Trump.

Great game yesterday, although I was pulling for the Brewers.

Interesting, and thanks for the summary. I would agree that those summary items are issues to be discussed. I'll try to read the full thing later when I have more time.

Some workers in Springfield might consider the Haitian migrants "replacement."

The difference between illegal immigrants and refugees these days is that refugees learned that they should say "asylum" to a border guard. To think that there are this many refugees is laughable; you should be able to count them on your fingers and toes. What I found disheartening is (1) there is an IRS union, and (2) they openly endorse a candidate. For goodness' sake, at least PRETEND to be impartial.

I would think that after all of your years of kissing the asses of tech folks at trade shows, you would begin to understand how our minds work.

No, it's possible.

Thanks for getting it.

Actually, my case isn't that it was stolen. My case is the "most secure election evah!" assertion is absurd on its face, and that there were ample opportunities for cheating. Keep in mind also that the "Biden won by 9M votes!" position is also absurd; he won be much smaller amounts in key swing states. That is where surgical shenanigans would be focused.

Also this. Thanks Meph!

Well Suz, I don't quite get your point. Your link states that many states don't do signature verification. Anyone could sign those, fill out the ballots, and send them in, including for people that haven't been scrubbed from the voting rolls (dead, moved, etc.).

Congrats! My 31st is next Wednesday. LOOKATME!

I've repeatedly said that if a system has no mechanism to catch fraud, you cannot catch fraud. I'm going to try an example: Different states have laws regarding ballot harvesting -- some allow it, others don't. https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_harvesting_laws_by_state Any state that added unmonitored ballot drop-off boxes, had by definition, no way to monitor if ballot harvesting occurred. I'm not sure if this will connect with the "62 lawsuits$#@!" crowd, or if I'll just get some Spinal Tap "but this one goes to 11" responses, but what the hell.
