A few weeks ago, I would have easily agreed. Today, it's probably safe to say this is generally true, but the popularity of political figures ebb and flow over time. Hillary never drew enough Democratic support to put her over the top and it's been downhill for her since then. Regarding...

I think this is true for both Trump and Hilary. Networks keep bringing them up more than a natural news cycle would produce because these characters are good for ratings. The very mention of their names attracts the attention and engagement of millions, and for the networks, attention is the...

I suppose each of us will view this video as we're predisposed to view it. In this case, it's not he-said/she-said, it's each of us saying, "I see it as ...." "Show me your papers implies a gestapo state but in America, which is not a gestapo state, we've been required to show others our papers...

That does not surprise me. You commonly change the subject and twist the meanings of words (equivocation).

When the officers took the man into custody, they thwarted and defeated him for doing pretty much everything. AT that point it was no longer about horn honking. The arrest was made for "Failure to ID" as the officer clearly said on the tape.

It's hard to know at this point what, if anything Giuliani will say to the committee, but the now-known fact that he is not outright refusing to cooperate with the committee is significant. Even if he takes the 5th on all questions, he is already legitimizing the committee and its subpoena...

That law is itself another example of voter suppression. In the past, election officials commonly encouraged people to vote and high turnout was seen as a good thing. This is a case where Republicans are using their power to stop election officials from encouraging citizens to vote, thereby...

It seems more uncommon than common for OOIDA and the ATA to agree on something, but about the Canadian trucker blockades, they do. "'I do not support any disturbance or destruction,' said Lewie Pugh, executive vice president of OOIDA and a long-time truck driver. While the group opposes the...

For every hypothetical scenario you offer, a hypothetical solution can be also offered. And in some cases, a real-world and proven solution can also be offered. Here's more about the Oregon process and how the scenario you raise is successfully addressed. ------------------------ Each ballot...

Regarding vote by mail, the Oregon system provides a good example: Ballots are mailed to every registered voter before the election. There are no polling places. Ballots are returned by mail, delivered to elections offices, or returned to designated drop sites. A verification process is in...

I agree. This would be a reasonable requirement. Those who oppose it say it is more difficult for certain voters to get such an ID than others. The solution to that is to make it easier for people to get them. By that, I do not mean make it easy to forge IDs or obtain them through fraudulent...

I also think it's going to be big; a big disappointment to people who have high hopes for Truth Social, and a big win for Trump who, once again found a way to start a company, bankrupt it at investor expense while pocketing massive sums for himself.

Some people should not be allowed to vote, like non-citizens of the United States and citizens under a certain age. Some citizens lose their right to vote due to the conviction of certain criminal offenses. Other than that, all people born in the USA and its territories have the right to vote...

I sometimes wonder how much of his ignorance is feigned and how much is actual.

Why are you acknowledging only half my point. About Dems gerrymandering "all over the place," my response is the same as Ragman's. Kindly note I'm talking about gerrymandering AND voter suppression.

No. Gerrymandering is bad in all cases. But my point stands. A Republican win-back of the U.S. House in 2022, will be mostly explained by Republican voter suppression and gerrymandering. The volume and intensity with which Republicans are doing everything they can to rig the game in their favor...

The post referenced info you already knew, and two questions newly asked. Do you care to answer them? 1. How reliable will "by Mar 31" be? 2. Trump has a history of starring companies, siphoning massive sums of money out of them for himself and sticking investors with whatever expenses the...

Not any more. Now the Truth Social launch date is "by March 31." The Feb 21 date proved to be unreliable. How reliable will "by Mar 31" be? "In early January, Truth Social indicated on the Apple App Store that it would launch on Feb. 21. "But Devin Nunes, the recently appointed Trump Media and...
