Election Thread 2024

It's amazing to me that Donald Trump can puke crap up and make it sound like he has a clue about anything. The gullible bite on this shit and beg for more lies and nonsense to fuel their own hatreds.

Trump just broke Clinton's record for the longest SOTU! 🤮

Yeah, when democrats ain't there, it's a republican cheer fest.

That the man who fomented insurrection and continues to get away with it is disgusting.

Hate is fully funded by oligarchs who control online platforms for their own ends.  Decency gets tear gas.

$4 meal that brainworm guy sneezed on + sexpest company and "jokes" about female athletes.  Bonus points is the pedo will try on the medal like he earned it.

Hard to be proud of our knuckleheads. The guy who got a tooth knocked out was talking about how great the dentistry is in the US. Yeah, but only if you have the money. So called dental insurance is a joke. Seahawks should turn down the pdf-file, if he decides to take a chance on inviting them.

Disenfranchising bill stalls in US Senate

This isn't over, and Republicans vow to "give it the effort it deserves."

Lots of low-information people tend to naively back the proposal, everyone from Uncle Jack who failed Civics to people flying swastikas think it's a great idea to force people to prove that they're citizens at the polling place and they don't see a problem with it.  They also don't see a problem with fat cats molesting children or masked men murdering people in the street, so I'll try my best to create an executive summary rebuttal:

Americans already have to provide documentation in the form of a Driver's License and last 4 digits of the Social Security number when they register to vote, and this is obviously plenty.  This bill is intended to solve a problem that doesn't exist - namely the perception that those dastardly Dems are busing in "illegals" to vote and the evidence for this is just a photo of a bus on Uncle Jack's Facebook timeline.  That's not evidence.  That's not anything.  You are being manipulated by evil people.  Don't believe them.  They don't want to safeguard elections - they want to "find" votes and/or suppress turnout in order to dictate the election results.  And, as a complete coincidence, trans people are disproportionately affected by this bill.  It's not a coincidence.  It never was.  They're trying to take away Americans' rights under the guise of safeguarding them.  Don't believe their lies.

My Florida is gonna do its own version and it's probably gonna backfire on them. They assume the righty knuckle draggers have birth certificates or the $30 to get one.

The SCROTUS just ruled that the post office can intentionally not mail your mail, and then can't be sued. 5 to 4 decision.
