Identity politics? That's a republican issue. They bring it up. The most democrats do is block, but all the punches are thrown by the right in campaigns. I didn't even hear a gun control proposal this round.

There may exist a scenario where north korea is trying to build something that looks suspiciously like an Ohio class submarine and he has a strange golf bar appear on his desk.

The president can't? Let's see of the Supreme Court has anything to say about that. Right now, I'm not confident the word can't is in their dictionary as far as a president is concerned.

I get so frustrated at the poor messaging. Glen younkin stood on stage against mcauffee and straight up lied about crt in school, and no body called him out in it.

I blame the smallest minority: jill stein

Can't wait four the next 3 years of nothing from her.

I guess I forgot to mention it, but he has also always had a temper.

Let me think about what I know about a trump supporter in my family who wasn't one in 2016, but was die hard in 2020 and 2024.

Nothing has ever been his fault. He used to buy into supernatural urban legend stuff. I don't know if he still does. He had no job in 2020 but still thinks he was doing better than in 2016, so his own employment either doesn't matter to his well-being, or he's detached from reality. I mean I think it's the second.

He didn't used to be racist (10 years ago), but I'm pretty sure he quotes fbi crime statistics without context now. I'm not sure how you reach that. He used to be moderate or even left of american center, but now all the news that is not Tim Poole is fake.

Oh and he was part of an ayn rand sex cult for a year there. He still believes her stuff despite having been kicked out by the leader.

I don't think he's newly mobilized though so whoever was this go around may be different. I don't know if it matters now. I feel like organizing may get some crack down in the near future. Best case is he's so incompetent that he can't implement the policies he said he will and people can vote freely in the future.

I think the important part is that it's florida that'd be removing them, and the rest of it that I didn't copy is how florida restores them. This is Florida's constitution. If we interpreted that way, he can never get them back. Florida took them away and he cannot have them back until NY restores them, which they can't

That's the thing I've read before, but does

"No person convicted of a felony, or adjudicated in this or any other state to be mentally incompetent, shall be qualified to vote or hold office until restoration of civil rights or removal of disability. Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, any disqualification from voting arising from a felony conviction shall terminate and voting rights shall be restored upon completion of all terms of sentence including parole or probation."

mean that it excludes it when the other state doesn't have a rule removing rights? Maybe a lawyer can explain it to me, but following the links to the actual law seems to contradict what's on the page from how I understand it. Also what's in the page seemed to get edited there as soon as people started asking about it.

I challenge her to a duel. If I win, I gain her hand in marriage. If she wins... I suppose I would have to give her my hand in marriage.

I know. I'm just annoyed that no news source has backed up this claim with the actual law that supposedly exempts him.
