They think throwing more money at problems, or creating a new government department, or giving people everything for free will magically solve everything. We allow bars and restaurants to serve people on Sundays, allow people to shop wherever they want, but try to stop people from worshipping.

Spot on.

“And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.”

I believe a Democrat spoke those fine words once upon a time. Of course, that particular Democrat was immediately followed by another - LBJ - who enacted the Great Society, which truly will go down as one of the greatest "hi, we're the government and we're here to help" clusters of all time.

Some states require a witness signature on absentee ballots being mailed in. So...the postal service just issued a ruling that mailmen can no longer be the witness, which was a big help to people living in rural areas that needed them to be a witness. Why would you do that leading up to an election?

The only significant verified voter fraud that I know of was recently by a Republican in North Carolina. Many states have voted by mail for years. Now all of a sudden it's a problem.

"The USPS reported a 6.1% reduction in sorting machines from fiscal 2015 to 2016..."

This happened in 2009 under Obama as well

More than 6,400 of Michigan's 10,600 absentee ballots rejected Aug. 4 were turned away because they arrived after Election Day, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's office said Friday.

Another 2,225 ballots were discarded because there was no signature on the envelope; 1,111 were rejected because the voter moved; and 846 were not accepted because the voter was dead, according to data from Benson's office.

July 19 (UPI) -- The U.S. Postal Service broke federal law by allowing union workers to take unpaid leave to campaign for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel said Wednesday.

The watchdog group, a federal independent agency that investigates and prosecutes employees' activities, concluded the USPS violated the Hatch Act, which bars government employees from engaging in political activity while on the job.

Of the 2,400 registered Republicans in Bernardsville, 500 to 700 of them received erroneous mail-in ballots, listing the Democratic candidates instead of the Republicans.

Were you cheering her on with her behavior during the Kavanaugh hearings?

Gloves are off binky.

Think back to the things that have been said about our President, our first lady and his children over the past 3+ years. The name calling, the bringing up of past quotes and transgressions that happened 30 years ago, the HATE, the vitriol. Think about what was said about Kavanaugh...the list goes on an on.

The fact that Kamala Harris fucked Wilie Brown while he was married which subsequently launched her career is fair game. The rules of engagement don't change because she's a biracial woman.

I don't think I would say it really offends me, it just says a lot about who Dash is as a person.

If you think it's cool to call a woman a 'whore who fakes her race', and would say that in writing, I think you are a piece of shit. Typing something like that is probably only the tip of the iceberg for the things you really say and think.

How do you criticize others for saying mean things about Donald Trump but then use that as ammunition to say clearly sexist and racist things about other people as though the fact that someone else (whom you claim to despise) did something means that you should lower yourself to that level?

I get that continuing to support Trump at this point requires some real mental gymnastics, but that post was some pretty fucked up shit, and your defense of it is too, IMHO.

Justify it however you want. You get to choose what you say and who you want to be as a person. I can see no value to further interacting with you here, or anywhere else. Have a good day.

You think that some of your responses in this thread place you on a pedestal?

I can see no value in interacting with you as well if you deny she had sex with Willie Brown to advance her career. You were probably giddy when she made an ass of herself during the Kavanaugh hearings.

I didn't fabricate the information. Deal with it.

Boozehound, let me make it perfectly clear, she IS an effing whore! Don't be such a snowflake....

Edit: I mean this both sexually and politically.

This video had me intrigued. Powerful message for sure, so decided to find out more about her campaign.

I could get behind this, especially with the self-employed purchasing power of insurance.

Guess she doesn't know a Bush Judge already ruled against AHP's.
