• MTG

    From IB Joe@1:342/201 to All on Friday, November 21, 2025 19:51:42
    Looks like MTG is stepping down from Congress on January 5th.

    The Sl*t F*cking Wh*re couldn't wait to run the clock out and just leave in November after they found a replacement.

    We have enough House members that we'll be Okay, for now.

    I have seen in the past few months that Marjorie had voted not with the party and a few other things got me thinking something was up with her.

    Recently She had expressed that she wanted to run for Governor or Senator for Georgia. And she may have been a great one of those 2 things.

    Trump showed her some poll numbers about her move and as a result he wasn't supporting her with that endeavor. She could do whatever she wants but his endorsement of her was going to be pulled.

    I'm not sure what her thinking was... BUT she was extremely surprised they way things went.

    So, she resigned from congress.

    She still may run for Senate or Governor... She will be doing so without Trumps endorsement.

    I'll miss her a little bit.

    There was something else I wanted to add... She was posing with Epstein's victims... She was going on and on about releasing the client list.

    Epstein's GF had stated recently that there was no "List"... BUT MTG was showing off, and I would argue, using them like Epstein did to them when he was alive.

    The victims do not need congress, or anyone for that matter, to release the list. ALL those beautiful young girls that were trafficked could look into the camera and say...

    Bill Clinton raped me... Bill Gates raped me as well... Joe Biden Sniffed my hair... Whatever it takes. Ooooohhhh, don't forget Price Andrew.

    This has been going on for years... over 3 different Presidents... Finally Trump's DOJ gets things rolling in 2019 and then he might have been suicided to keep the Elites on the list out of the public eye.

    Victims... the next time you're in front of a camera tell your story. You don't need MTG to use you... Just tell us.

    Because of the way we dealt with this the US release documents and evidence on an investigation that went nowhere.

    Politics and TDS and congress voted to release everything. This will all be short lived because the Democrats have come to know that Jeffery Epstein hated Trump and was friendly with the Democrats.

    I'm thinking... OKAY lets do it!!!

    I called Congressman Clay Higgins office and left him a message of support for him being the only one top vote no on releasing the Epstein files.

    He said his vote reflected his principles and that a Republic should follow their law(s) and ORDER and not look like a dog chasing its tail. Wanting to through red meat into the savage crowd for a reaction.

    So they get released. We start to find out that there were people who should be reprimanded or held accountable in some way... Back room deal comes in affect so that the Congress woman from the Virgin Islands gets to walk free.

    Hillary and Bill Clinton are a no show congressional subpoena...

    Girls aren't helped. Politicians used them and this situation to try and jockey a better position for the midterms.

    We have 3 more years to fix as much Biden damage as we can.

    God Help us.

    She was an attention-seeker from the start. Remember her campaign video with her shooting at targets with leftist concepts on them? It was cute,
    but ridiculous and too one-sided.

    She's probably been friends with the left for a long time already. Now she can be a tool for anti-MAGA propaganda.

    This maybe the case but personally I think it was a miss calculation on her point.

    This is my take on things.

    MTG was not into wars. Just an observation... When Trump blew-up Iran's Nuclear stuff I saw a change in her.

    Though, personally, I didn't see anything wrong in what Trump did. He said there's a problem. He gave Iran the opportunity to talk and work things out... They didn't and they got blown-up real good.

    Unlike others... George W... George said there was something, and there wasn't, and 20 year later trillions spend millions die and Joe Biden walks away from it.

    Daddy Trump... In Iran for ~10 minutes. Eliminates the issue. Back out in no time flat. MAYBE someone died and if they did they weren't American and at best it was just a handful of people.

    On top of this... Trump is blowing up boats full of narcotic... It pisses of the Narcoterrorist but not as much as MTG.

    She and Tom Massie teamed up together... To my understanding Tom said that Trump will be gone in a few years... But our vote will live on forever.

    MTG has made it known that she wanted to either run as a Senator or Governor of Georgia. Instead of FOCUSING on today she started jockeying for next years election. and she miscalculated and shot herself in the foot.

    MY OPINION AGAIN....

    When you play football and your position is... Whatever... Tight end... You can't jump in 1/3 the way through and announce you are the quarterback.

    Trump's time is limited and he needs everyone to focus on their Jobs... MTG was looking beyond Trumps term.

    She had to go!!!

    BTW, He last day is January 5th... She is eligible for a lifetime pension on January 3rd.

    The was a reason she waited.

    Going on The View wasn't a miscalculation. She was there making friends with them.

    that Trump will be gone in a few years... But our vote will live on forever.

    Kentucky is a RINO state. Mitch Mcconnel, Rand Paul, Tom Massie, Mike Powell, all they do is make good chicken.

    I knew Marjorie was fake when he announced that she was "filing articles of impeachment against Biden for failing to secure Afghanistan after the withdrawl." I knew that was going nowhere, and I recognized it as virtue signaling. She does it every time she talks.

    BTW, He last day is January 5th... She is eligible for a lifetime

    My read on her is that she's like the liberal mom who never wants to spank her kid.

    Now, I'm certainly against beating your kid, but if the kid did something bad that merits a spanking, he should get one. But there are some women who just won't spank their kid for anything - and it shows when the kid grows up.

    But that leads to the other problem that I saw with MTG: She doesn't understand reality.

    You can't take a hard stance on anything in the real world.

    Yes, force is bad and it should not be what you lead with. But you can't take it off the table and if the sitation merits it, you use it.

    Daddy Trump... In Iran for ~10 minutes. Eliminates the issue. Back out
    in no time flat. MAYBE someone died and if they did they weren't
    American and at best it was just a handful of people.

    Most arabs are children. All islams are animals. Force is the only thing that they understand.

    The Left never understood this: Vietnam, for example.

    On top of this... Trump is blowing up boats full of narcotic... It
    pisses of the Narcoterrorist but not as much as MTG.

    But the narcos are the same way. They are, effectively, animals and do not respond to "asking" or negotiation. Like Islams, they don't believe that lying is wrong.

    Do I like this? No. But there's no other way to handle them. That's reality.

    BTW, He last day is January 5th... She is eligible for a lifetime
    pension on January 3rd.

    The was a reason she waited.

    I can't blame her for that, though. If I was in the same position, I'd have done the same thing.

    No, it was what she was saying while she was on the view.

    Recently she said Trump was on the take from Israel, or some other country because he didn't release the Epstein files.

    She started running her mouth about everything. Somethings up!!!!

    When she started 5 or 6 years ago her net worth came in at ~$700K... 5 or 6 years later she's worth $25,000,000.00... What the F@ck is that...

    https://www.gobankingrates.com/net-worth/politicians/marjorie-taylor-greene-net -worth/

    And she thinks Trump is on the take. Trump is the only politician in my lifetime who's Net Worth declined after running for office.

    I've come to the conclusion that MTG is a whore and will do anything to advance her career... She was part of MAGA on her way in because she saw an opportunity.

    Once in and Trump's 2nd term ending she was more worried about her advancement not concerning herself of how she should help trump finish up these few years...

    That's pretty slimy of her to trash Trump, announce resignation a year early, and then to go on The View. That's 3 fists up our butts all at the same time, and I'm not into that fisting stuff.

    What turned someone who was seemingly pro-America into anti-America?
    Where we misled from the start and MTG was really anti-America in the first place?

    Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning from congress early, with a year left of her term, leaving her seat and the whole country vulnerable t the Socialist Party.

    But that still begs the questions:
    What turned someone who was seemingly pro-America into anti-America?
    Where we misled from the start and MTG was really anti-America in the first place?

    I saw the fakeness in her right from the start. My suspicion began with her ridiculous TV commercials, and her articles of impeachment against Joe Biden was another clue (because it went nowhere.) Like Dan Bongino always says "There are fake Republicans, but there are no fake Democrats."

    We've seem this with several people recently. Ex: Tucker Carlson,
    Candice Owen.

    I used to like Tucker, but I've seen the fakeness in him too, and Candice Owen. They both used to make good points about the left, but they sold out and they both turned their backs against us.

    Can TDS impact good people?

    No! They were never good to begin with, they were just trying to impress us so they could plant seeds.

    Theory: Back to the idea of the Elitists and their need to be "on top". It seems to me that Elitists are more likely to suffer from TDS. Could these "good" people really just closet Elitists, get TDS and basically
    go insane?

    Maybe. I appreciate it when somebody does great things 99% of the time (like Trump, Ted Cruz, Senator Kennedy) and I don't get tired of being on their side. I'm proud to be part of this crowd. But some people are jealous of Trump I
    think. Candace Owens for example; she pal'd around with Trump during his 1st year as president, but then said "I'm gonna run against him in the primary because I want to be president," and then she never even ran for anything (think of her as the right's DEI hire.)

    I haven't been paying very close attention but I just read that Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning from congress early, with a year left of her term, leaving her seat and the whole country vulnerable to the Socialist Party.

    That's pretty slimy of her to trash Trump, announce resignation a year early, and then to go on The View. That's 3 fists up our butts all at
    the same time, and I'm not into that fisting stuff.


    Fun Fact... Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and AOC get $7000 contributions from sources Arabic names. The origins of the names, not so important to my point.

    Thom Massie, John Thune and several other RINOs... and I learned today that Marjorie Traitor was in that list... Receiving money from the same people who are funding Ilhan Oman et al..

    Same names same amount.

    No wonder she didn't finish her term... and she left with millions in her bank as well.

    That's a good observation that you made though, them all getting money from the same sources. Maybe Thune is some kind of a stealth-RINO who only does special subtle things for the Democrats.

    Interesting. I took that to be "she's not part of the esbalishment" since her commercials looked so amateurish.

    and her articles of impeachment against
    Joe Biden was another clue (because it went nowhere.)

    With the Democrat controlled Congress, they weren't going to go anywhere.

    But I saw that as a virtue signal. Which should have clued me in.

    Like Dan Bongino
    always says "There are fake Republicans, but there are no fake
    Democrats."

    He's right on that.

    I used to like Tucker, but I've seen the fakeness in him too, and
    Candice Owen. They both used to make good points about the left, but
    they sold out and they both turned their backs against us.

    Ya, both were doing good stuff. But they seemed to go off the deep end fairly close to one another.

    No! They were never good to begin with, they were just trying to
    impress us so they could plant seeds.

    So controlled opposition. It would be interesting to know who's controlling them.

    jealous of Trump I think. Candace Owens for example; she pal'd around
    with Trump during his 1st year as president, but then said "I'm gonna
    run against him in the primary because I want to be president," and
    then she never even ran for anything (think of her as the right's DEI hire.)

    I don't think she's on the Right, though.

    I used to listen to her for a while, but she was focusing on fluff stuff and most of her "news" was old, so it wasn't worth listening to her. She was supposed to have done an expose on how BLM spent their money, but I never really saw that come to life.

    Then she really went off the deep end.

    But she reminds me of one of Dinesh D'Souza's documentaries. He interviewed a couple of the "white supremacists" that the Left likes to trot out as "Ultra Right". And guess what? Those "Ultra Right" have the same beliefs as the Left - the only difference is who is in charge.

    Regarding Candace Owens, the same goes for her wanting to run for president. She didn't run, and I doubt she even tried to collect signatures or to raise money for a campaign.

    She wants attention, just like Marjorie. I'm not sure which one is more desperate for it.

    Attention or just influence (i.e. power). That would make sense to me. If their desire was influence, they failed - and not just before they went off the deep end.

    So it's certainly possible that we have a couple more who can't stand to have their Narratives challenged by Reality.

    I can't. It's been corrupt for a long time. But in the past, it was a personal corruption and the people involved knew that they had a limit because too much would hurt everyone - including themselves.

    In more recent history, the corruption seems to almost be at a self-destructive level. And Osama wasn't the start. He was just the most visible in recent history.

    We have people on the take. Insider trading... They get elected and ignore the people who voted them in. Both sides need to just vote the Save America Act in because almost everyone wants it. Everyone but the Democrat party.

    And you see that's the difference.

    Long ago, things like insider trading enriched the particular senator, but did little to harm the country as a whole. And if the senator kept things quiet, he could retire wealthy, and have a nice country to live in.

    In more recent history, it seems like they not only want to enrich themselves, but wreck the country too. So they retire wealthy, but live in a s#!t hole. That makes no sense for greedy people.

    The graft isn't limited to one party.

    How does requiring proof of citizenship on election day prevent
    corruption by both parties once elected? The issue of campaign finance
    reform and term limits are more prescient - once elected, you can trade

    On 14 Mar 2026, Aaron Thomas said the following...


    Thune says "we don't have the votes." Isn't it possible that he's
    telling the truth about that? Murkowski and Collins aren't the only
    RINOs in the senate; there are more. Some of them ass-out unexpectedly
    at the last minute. We actually need backroom deals on the table in
    order for this to happen the way we want it do. If the RINOs f this up then we have to deal with congress all over again.


    He maybe telling the truth about the RINOs and with our current Senate Rules we may not have the 60 vote threshold.

    But if we were to revert back to the old rules, to the ones we had before the 1970s we'd be in.

    We have enough votes if we get rid of the Zombie Filibuster.

    The Speaking Filibuster is simple majority after the Dem speak as to why they don't support common sense things like proving that you are a citizen and showing ID on the way in to vote.

    Thune can change this tomorrow, but he may be on someone's payroll.

    If we have a senate leader who works as hard as Trump we'd be good to go...


    BTW, let me ask you... Do you think Chuck or Nancy would have been asked to do whatever they can to put through whatever legislation they can...

    NO... They'd do anything ANYTHING at all to push their agenda. If they win the House in November there will be impeachments everyday until the 2028 election.

    We have a RINO problem but we also have a problem with the party leaders showing up with a knife at a gun fight.

    Thune should make an effort to pass this bill that EVERYONE wants, both parties. Do the peoples work.

    I can't. It's been corrupt for a long time. But in the past, it was a personal corruption and the people involved knew that they had a limit because too much would hurt everyone - including themselves.

    In more recent history, the corruption seems to almost be at a self-destructive level. And Osama wasn't the start. He was just the
    most visible in recent history.


    It's because of people like Nancy Pelosi amd Dianne Feinstein to mention a
    few. The decades, almost centuries of fraud set the precedent for other to follow. MTG worth millions, Omar, and the list goes on and on.

    Now we have governors looking the other way for fraud being committed BILLIONS and BILLIONS and the politicians just shrug their shoulders when asked about it.

    We are screwed if we don't fix this.


    And you see that's the difference.

    Long ago, things like insider trading enriched the particular senator,
    but did little to harm the country as a whole. And if the senator kept things quiet, he could retire wealthy, and have a nice country to live
    in.

    In more recent history, it seems like they not only want to enrich themselves, but wreck the country too. So they retire wealthy, but live in a s#!t hole. That makes no sense for greedy people.


    Now they don't care because there are no consequences for their actions.

    You live in a state where voter ID i
    already required. In my state, I wal
    into the polling place with 2 legs a
    a pair of pants, they ask me for my
    name and address, and they hand me a
    ballot.

    That's it. No ID, no voter card,
    nothing.

    I would wager if I look into the
    election system in your state
    that the names on the ballots
    are run against registered voters
    in your district, et al. It's just
    done after the fact, not prior to
    the people's arrival to the polls.

    What's your home state so I can see

    because of DEI the Democrats suck in
    many flavors.

    DEI was a bogey man blown up by your
    peeps to make you think people were
    icing you out because of your skin
    color. What you've actually championed
    is removin a program that is also used
    to ensure that veterans and women and
    the disabld aren't iced out of
    employment, not just for hiring [insert
    ethnic group yo don't like here].

    But great, it's gone. Is your life
    better now? Ask your self tht each day
    and let me know when you can point out
    a concrete way in which DEI policies of
    the government and private companies
    have improved your day to day.

    You won, but what did you win? That's
    what y'all need to really be asking.

    I'm looking at your laws now. Says that
    everyone must be registered beforehand
    for your vote to count, that first time
    voters MUST ID themselves via photo ID,
    utilities or other proof of
    citizenship, that voters are checked fo
    validity prior to holding the
    elections, and samples of polling
    stations are audited for accuracy each
    federal election. So it looks like ID
    ing already happened, but before and
    after the vote.

    So really all you'd be doing is saying
    "if you aren't directly carrying your
    ID today you are unable to vote"
    despite the fact that they've already
    pre-screened all valid voters in the
    district.

    Most of what you said here is not true. DEI is not a bogey man, its a policy y'all have been running on for some time now.

    In fact this is the only policy you guys have managed to promote. I stand corrected this, and Orange Man Bad, are the only 2 policies y'all have.

    WE ON THE RIGHT believe that you should advance in life based on your merit and not based on your skin color.

    I am against slavery, where the Democrats had a group of people enslaved based on skin color. I don't believe in it now, where the Democrats what you to hire people based on skin color or gender-ideology...

    ICE will make citizens, or others in the US legally, will get ICED out of their jobs??

    Legal people, with a vagina or have more melanin in your skin, or disabled or a vet.

    All Americans need equal opportunity... NOT equal outcomes. Young Billy stays in his parents house so that he can get his share of wealth from the people who are making a difference in life...

    Elon going to the moon!!! Other than waiting for your share of people contributing to society, what are you doing to contribute to society.

    That's the problem, I cannot think of one thing where DEI has improved anyones life.

    DEI has not improved our lives at all, it made it worse if it did anything at all.

    They had a DEI hire drive a cruise ship ans she (or they/they) flipped it.

    They hired 2 DEI pilots to fly a plane, in Toronto I think, and they/them flipped that plane on the tarmac, no one died.

    This is 2026, its not 1826 or 1926... You might need a skill to advance yourself in life.

    Back in other centuries you might have gotten buy with milking cows and gowning food. But today you might need to go to school to learn advanced and complicated things...

    Like flying to the moon. <--- You need the best of the best to do this.

    Hire the best of the best, man or woman, light or dark skinned.

    Recall Marie Curie... Female Physicist who discovered radium...

    Welp, she managed to get the grades to go to postsecondary school. She applied to get into University with her marks in a predominantly male education and work environment. <--- No DEI

    Margaret Hamilton, a you woman programmer working on the Apolo 11 project was able to save the program because of her programming ideas. <-- Not DEI

    She educated herself, was hired based on merit and is now in the history books and she will be talked about for decades and decades to come.

    I hear that programmers use her methodology today.

    Non DEI women and others with Melanin have contributed to society at great levels...

    MLK, Rosa Pasrks, Frederick Douglas just to name a few.

    DEI has ruined all the progress made to date. Now the left want up ton believe that only DEI can advance progress of women and minorities, especially those of color... Even more so, they are trying to make us believe that they can't even get ID to vote.

    Because we don't subscribe to DEI we voted on, twice, our 1st Orange President and American is going to have their 1st African American Trillionaire.

    Life is great!!!!


    You won, but what did you win? That's

    badly. Voters in my state are not
    required to show ID when they vote a
    that's exactly what this conversatio
    was about, and that's exactly what t
    SAVE America act is about.

    You appear to be missing the point that
    voters have already been ID long before
    the vote and they are checked against
    an existing list of valid voters. So
    you're not adding anything but a
    potential inconvenience, it would seem.


    And no, the SAVE act is about makin it
    as inconvenient in the short term as
    possible for people to register to vote
    in the upcoming elections, to preserve
    power. It is also about consolidating
    the power to control elections with the
    federal government, rather than the
    states. A cursory reading of the
    proposed law would demonstrate that to
    you. I presume you can read, so I
    advise you look for yourself and don't
    take my or you local politician's word
    for it.

    And if you doubt that, I point also to
    Trump's newest executive order
    illegally trying to stop mail-in
    voting. He's not hiding what his intent
    is, I don't know why MAGA won't just
    admit it when he yells it from every
    rooftop daily.

    "Missing the point" is leftist stealth move. They miss the point, then when I try to correct them, they have a "we already discussed that" attitude.

    I need to add "Missing the point" to the official leftist procedures manual, along with a tagline of "It's so stupid, it's smart."

    to the car to retrieve them, but upon re-entry to the courthouse they want you to go through the metal detector again.

    The funny thing about the people you

    Marie Curie was exceptional, But how

    they were prevented from working purely

    meant that a special set of

    with the attitude she had to finally
    result in her success.

    Many of the others you listed didn't
    even do traditional work tht DEI would
    apply to; Frederick Douglass did not do
    traditional work once he had freed
    himself from slavery and established
    himself as an intellectual. He was
    essentially a freelancer.

    And mind you, I'm not even specifically
    defendin DEI or demanding
    reimplementation. I'm just saying you
    can't define it, and the best you are
    able to do is point at some anecdotes,
    not systemic problems, and go "bad
    thing happened because person not white
    male, DEI is responsible" as if a white
    dude isn't equally as capable of
    capsizing a cruise ship or crashing a
    plane; they've been doing that for
    decades I assure you.

    And to my point, you still can't
    demonstrate how winning the fight
    against DEI has made YOUR life better.

    So by all means, cheer for yourself.
    You did it. But what did YOU gain? You
    beat the trannies, the immigrants, the
    blue hairs, the gays, the Joses and the
    Shaniquas of America to make room for
    the the "right" people.

    Let me know when it brings a smile to
    your face and the resentment stops.

    Think about it like this: You go to
    courthouse for a hearing, and they
    screened you through the metal detec
    when you walked in, but then you
    realized that you left some importan
    papers in the car. You go back out
    to the car to retrieve them, but upo
    re-entry to the courthouse they want
    you to go through the metal detector
    again.

    What do you do? Start crying about t
    constitution? Or act like an adult a
    go through the metal detector once
    more?


    For your analogy to work, that would
    mean I was legal when I registered to
    vote but became illegal right before I
    voted.

    What did trump say... "Suddenly she
    turned black..."

    So, suddenly, I turned from legal
    citizen to illegal immigrant?

    Your analogy is stupid.

    That's how they want us to feel, but they are the ones who are backwards.

    I was at a school meeting yesterday and the leftists said "we hire school resource officers to form relationships with the students, and for safety." When I corrected them by saying "We only hire them for safety, not to form relationships," they all started hissing at me exactly like snakes would if you tore the roof off their den.

    Imagine calling 911, and when they say "What's your emergency?" you tell them "I'm a teenager and I need to form a relationship with an officer."

    You missed my point, and I think you missed what DEI is.

    My point... Simple... I cannot change what policies were 100 years ago.

    100 years ago families were slightly different that today... Men worked out of the house, women ran the house and the family.

    Today you you need 2 people working, if you want.

    MLK, fought foe EQUAL rights, not special rights.

    My arguments are similar. I think man or woman, light or dark skin, y'all should have the same opportunities. Hard work with great ideas and you'll prosper.

    This is an argument of equality.

    Your argument is Equity... Equity is the E in the DEI phrase.

    Equality is giving someone, non-deserving, a position because she/they/them had a vagina and that vagina was darker because they/them are darker.

    Not because they/them went to school and worked at their studies and was accomplish in their field of expertise. No, just because they had a vagina.

    Other more accomplished people missed out because dark vagina person made it in because of DEI.

    Equity looks at the outcome of things... Doesn't matter how hard you work, study and come up with great ideas... Dark Vagina person wins.

    Maybe 100 years ago more women may have risen to the top... maybe... but in 2026 you can study and work hard and be all you want to be...

    Today you don't need Equity you just need Equality. A female or male, regardless of who applies, gets in based on their merit and skills.

    I want to see a fully qualified Doctor, regardless of their gender or hair color.

    You on the other hand would like to see a DEI Doctor who got their job based on their vagina and not their skills.

    Go to they/them.

    I just believe in merit.

    BTW, I was at one time a migrant to the US. I entered legally, filed all the paperwork legally and have NEVER asked the US government for nothing.

    If I didn't have enough money to eat I did without. I paid my rent/mortgage or any debt before I did things for myself. I was not a burden on the system or other people.

    If you go and invent the next biggest and best thing, do it, and I'll say great job.

    worked out of the house, women ran the house and the family.

    Today you you need 2 people working, if you want.

    Mostly due to the "entitlement" programs and massive fraud (especially today).

    MLK, fought foe EQUAL rights, not special rights.

    Remember that in Max's delusion, all white people get special rights. So in his mind (what, about 32K or RAM?) "equal rights" = "the mytical special rights white people have".

    My arguments are similar. I think man or woman, light or dark skin,
    y'all should have the same opportunities. Hard work with great ideas

    But that's Meritocracy. The Left is opposed to that because they are all stupid, worthless people only fit to be baristas (who don't strike) or floor cleaners.

    If you go and invent the next biggest and best thing, do it, and I'll
    say great job.

    The problem is that he's not capable. He's not capable of even getting a job that would pay enough so he could move out of his mom's basement.

    So like a good Marxist, he wants to take what successful people have made calling it "compassion", or "equity", etc. so that he can have enough money.

Just today a lady tried to talk me about the "high gas prices" but I didn't want to stir anything up so I was just like "Yea, it's expensive."

    Re: Re: MTG

    It's your 21st birthday and you show
    at a busy liquor store to buy a bott
    of rum.

    10 months later, you come back into
    store to buy another bottle but with
    your ID, expecting the clerk to
    remember your face from 10 months ag

    "Remember me? I bought that bottle o
    rum. I was wearing a rainbow colored
    t-shirt. Don't you dare ask me for m
    ID again."

    This is a much better analogy, I will
    grant you. However the issue is tht
    your state does still have methods of
    voter ID that are more reasonable and
    don't place burden on the voter. For
    example, New York has signature
    matching and electronic pollbooks.

    So in your scenario, the equivalent
    would be a liquor store that has a
    record of your signature, where you
    live, and can look up your records on
    the spot if they don't remember you.
    Plus, since you used your signature as
    an ID, it cost you nothing beyond your
    initial registration.

    See, MAGA is operating under the
    assumption that someone like me thinks
    all ID is bad and that is not the case.
    I, and people just like me, just don't
    trust the government and we know, from
    looking at how votin was conducted
    nationwide from 1865-onwards, that this
    is yet another tactic to sound
    reasonable while actually introducing
    redundant and random hurdle to bleed
    off voters in the margins that would
    otherwise vote. I'm a southerner, we
    were the masters of fuckin over the
    voter by using poll taxes, ID laws,
    grandfather clauses, obfuscating
    deadline for the above, and competence
    quizzes. This is the same thing now as
    it was then.

    You're MAGA. You don't trust the
    government, I would presume. What would
    you do if New York was 100% going
    republican at the next election, and
    the Dems introduced some new ID law
    that you knew was gonna be hard for
    your 80 year old republican Puerto
    Rican neighbor to get done because he
    was born at a rural hospital back in
    the day and didn't have a valid birth
    certificate, but was a US citizen, but
    was also broke as fuck?

    This is a rel scenario btw. My
    Grandfather before he died was one such
    person; no one, not even him, knew when

    All that was known was that we has born

    Still a US citizen, still has the right
    to vote (well, when he was alive
    anyhow.) In your state he could
    exercise his vote. Under your rules, if
    implemented directly before an election
    like the Republicans want to do,
    someone like him would miss the
    election sorting out their paperwork.
    They'd be good by the next one, sure,
    but they'd have missed the one the
    Republicans wanted him to miss.

    Notice these laws never get pushed in
    between elections, only right before
    ones that the GOP thinks they'll lose.

    Do you ever feel that lefties live i
    Opposite World?

    We live in the same America you do. The
    issue is that you cats would rathr I

    coexist with me in the country I

    opinion may not be the absolute
    unquestioned truth.

    It's called "projection" and the
    Lefties do it all the time.

    "Accuse your opponent of what YOU do
    Right out of Saul Alinsky's playbook

    I'm fairly certain that not only does
    your party do this more than anyone
    else, but that your president has been
    noted as saying he specifically does
    this, and in addition to that, his
    mentor Roy Cohn ALSO said that tht is
    how he operates.

    Which, to be fair, is at least them
    using their own advice. Gotta admire
    that bit of ideological coherence.

    I need to add "Missing the
    point" to the official
    leftist procedures manual,
    along with a tagline of "I
    so stupid, it's smart."

    Do you ever feel that lefties l
    in Opposite World?

    That's how they want us to feel, but
    they are the ones who are backwards.

    I was at a school meeting yesterday
    the leftists said "we hire school
    resource officers to form relationsh
    with the students, and for safety."
    When I corrected them by saying "We
    only hire them for safety, not to fo
    relationships," they all started
    hissing at me exactly like snakes wo
    if you tore the roof off their den.

    Imagine calling 911, and when they s
    "What's your emergency?" you tell th
    "I'm a teenager and I need to form a
    relationship with an officer."

    I would think that the school cop
    knowing who the kid are, which ones are
    bad eggs and aren't, etc, would be part
    of the job. You know: formin a
    relationship. I won't pretend to know
    how your meeting went but I would think
    you at least want the school cop to
    know which kid is most likely to be a
    school shooter and which ones are
    harmless.

    You are aware I assume that MLK Jr. was
    a socialist and was shifting from his
    civil rights work to arguing for
    socialism when he was killed. Just
    putting that out there.

    That's the standard Socialist
    redirection.

    Make them focus on some, usually min
    problem and not the big problems tha
    the Elitists are causing.

    Horseshit. Your boy was the one who
    claimed he would lower prices and not
    do new wars. Now that he has blatantly
    failed to do so, y'all are coping about
    it hard as a motherfucker. It's not a
    left wing misdirect, it's a Trump
    failure.

    One that the left (the real left, not
    the Kamala centrists) absolutely said
    was going to happen.

    This is a much better analogy, I will
    grant you. However the issue is tht
    your state does still have methods of
    voter ID that are more reasonable and
    don't place burden on the voter. For
    example, New York has signature
    matching and electronic pollbooks.

    There's no signature involved during the voting process in New York. You tell them your name and address, they hand you a ballot, and that's all there is to it.

    Signature matching sounds great though. Let's get that going next, after we get the ID checking out of the way.

    You're MAGA. You don't trust the
    government, I would presume. What would
    you do if New York was 100% going
    republican at the next election, and
    the Dems introduced some new ID law
    that you knew was gonna be hard for
    your 80 year old republican Puerto
    Rican neighbor to get done because he
    was born at a rural hospital back in
    the day and didn't have a valid birth
    certificate, but was a US citizen, but
    was also broke as fuck?

    This means that in 80 years time, he's been unable to buy wine, unable to get a loan, unable to drive a car, and his cheapwad grandkids couldn't dig $17 out of their buttholes to give the old man enough money to get a learner's permit. I treated my grandfather better than that.

    This is a rel scenario btw. My
    Grandfather before he died was one such
    person; no one, not even him, knew when
    he was born and it was not documented.
    All that was known was that we has born
    at some point in the 30s in San Juan.

    San Juan is not a rural area, which contradicts your story about him being born in a rural hospital. Was San Juan a rural area 80 years ago?

    Still a US citizen, still has the right
    to vote (well, when he was alive
    anyhow.) In your state he could
    exercise his vote. Under your rules, if

    Anyone can vote in my state, as long as they have the name and address of a registered voter either memorized or written on a napkin.

    That makes sense, but that's not what the snakes were getting at. We were arguing about a survey where they asked a question like this:

    "Do you think that the school resource officers are building positive relationships with the students?"

    And the only logical answer to that question is "No" whether you're in favor of having school resource officers or not, but the snakes get to walk away with results that they can use to justify removing school resource officers.

    e.g. "According to our survey, most parents agree that we need to get rid of school resource officers because they don't form positive relationships with students."

    They're blocking the strait because it's a security vulnerability, but how did it happen? Well, it all began when they started playing around with nuclear enrichment, and it all ended when they started killing thousands of civilians.
