Sad reality is that:

• no matter how much informed people hate her, the base is still going vote for her because of name recognition and party support
• they don't care were the country is heading. they will still get their checks from donors, they will still make money on insider trading
• all the terrible things Trump does just means more campaign contributions for the Dems, for all they care Trump winning was good for business
• Bernie tried to take over the party and it failed, people can try again but it will be extremely difficult to do

Wake me up when you find something people will not abuse and get addicted to.

Both Waltz and Goldberg work for FDD. My theory: Waltz is paid by FDD, wanted to do them a favor and keep them in the loop on Houti attacks so he adds their Iran expert to the chat. Well, tried to add...

Richard Goldberg: aide to US National Security Advisor in previous Trump administration, expert on Iran, wrote press release announcing Waltz's nomination.

Clearly Waltz was trying to add him to the chat instead of Jeffrey Goldberg, right?

Showing ID when you vote is an requirement in every European country since forever. There's no slippery slope here. Ability to identify yourself is a pretty basic thing in a civilized country. Where I live proof of residence allows you to vote in local elections. National elections require citizenship. National ID proves you're a citizen. It's really simple.

It's just something I found, no idea how plausible it is. It does look like a pretty big coincidence to me but no one is reporting on that.

Is it a coincidence that the person who wrote press release announcing Mike Waltz’s nomination is called Richard Goldberg, that he worked in previous Trump’s administration and is an expert on Iran/Houti? Did Waltz add Jeffrey Goldberg totally by accident or did he simply confuse the Goldbergs?

The problem here really is that there's no standard national ID system in US, not that someone is asking for a proof of citizenship in order to vote.

The only person in real danger here is the journalist.

My theory is that it's brain atrophy, not stupidity.

Americans are not stupid in the sense that they can't learn and do things. They are perfectly capable to work in a bank, fix a car, fly a plane or be a doctor. But even if they do work as as accountant or a surgeon (like Ben Carson...) they rarely use brains for analytical thinking. They don't have to. School is easy (you can just play sports), finding job used to be easy, buying home used to be easy, you were born into one political party and just followed it. You drive your huge car on endless highways surrounded by aesthetically sterile malls, eat your burgers, watch some football and that's it. No need to analyze things so your brain kind of forgets how to do it.

Eventually the country split into the curious part that actually wants to study and understand things and the "stupid" part that just consumes propaganda and votes for Trump. As some point the "stupid" part became the majority. Now not everything is that easy for young people but I think it's too late.
