It’s a low-ball figure. $5000 would last us about a month. Rent, Utilities, Food & more, it all adds up. The election is for a period of 24 months, not 1 month. A reasonable monetary figure that isn’t a lowball would be $120,000 —> $5000 a month for 24 months.

There seem to be some similarities to the Colbert incident. Talarico? They want to censor Talarico’s views?

Yesterday I made a comment about the ideological perversions of churches. I’m certain this story is related. There’s no dating or mating occurring, but here the GOP has mostly undressed Hasan Piker. Per search, the GOP is significantly more religious than Democrats.

Alt title: Why the Trump Admin wants tracking of ballots and likely elimination of ballot secrecy.

I think it’s important for the midterm elections. It’s important that folks who care, get out and vote.

The church has a perverted ideology, too concerned with others folks sexualities, which is none of their business. When they’re not literally diddling kids, they’re metaphorically diddling kids with deceptive crap like this.

If it’s not a crime, it should be. Downplaying historical slavery, part of Trump’s war on woke.

Yeah, I think so too. Vance, Vought, Miller, Heritage Foundation et al. are propping up a president with dementia because it’s to their advantage with regards to implementing their radical-conservative agenda.

Americans don’t pay taxes to be influenced by clandestine influencers getting paid by government.

No wonder Giuliani is upset with Mamdani.

Was gonna say just that. They’re all for surveillance technology as long as they are in control. Surveillance for thee…

For me it’s always a red flag when the word “evil” is used. While it may be used in non-religious ways, it often has a religious context. Religion has caused too many problems for mankind, and that is why the separation of church and state is so important.

I found myself wondering about the origins of the word, “Mar-a-lago”. Search says it is a Spanish word coined by Marjorie Merriweather Post which means “sea to lake”. Maybe Trump should rename his own private property?

This must be what Vance means when he’s talked about Ordo Amoris and Christian love.

False positives are kinda high with polygraphs. Due to unreliability of results US courts don’t accept them as evidence. That doesn’t stop a boss on a power trip from firing you.

The Vietnam war was also not called a war, it was called a police action. It seems the Executive Branch’s ability to wage war without congress’s approval is a constitutional loophole.

Edited for clarity

Hypothetically, let’s say a political party passes a law against murder that mandates long prison sentences, then another political party comes along and uses the same law to jail people who have not committed murder, is the first political party responsible for what the second political party did?

In case you are confused by my comment, you have to read the article to understand. It alleges democrats are responsible for creating the immigration enforcement structures which republicans are now abusing.

The Postal Service wants to require that both the “outbound” envelope carrying the ballot to the voter and the “inbound” envelope bringing the ballot back to the election office have a barcode for automated tracking that’s unique to each voter.

No more secret ballots?

The effort is a counter strike to what critics see as unprecedented moves by federal officials to ride roughshod over children’s rights and increase deportations – while in the meantime corralling them in conditions that can allegedly lead to psychological harm.

It’s fascinating that this admin is in support of Christian Nationalism, and once again kids are imperiled. Like Donald Capps said, “Religion and Child Abuse Are Perfect Together.”

If mail ballots get rejected in bulk as the recent whistleblower claimed they would, if you go to the poll to vote because you didn’t receive a ballot by mail, ICE will be there to insure you can or can’t vote?
