While Russia has a poor reputation for its treatment of immigrants in general, citizens of any country on the list of mostly Western nations wanting to emigrate to Russia are to be granted temporary residence permits, even if they have no knowledge of the Russian language or legal code, both of which are normally prerequisites for foreign nationals wishing to migrate. read more
"So I slowed down, and I whipped out my camera, and I started taking video," he recalled. "And I took a video of them pulling things and rummaging through this car, and they saw me, and I think " that actually, they knew I was videotaping, that stopped them, so they stopped what they were doing." The two masked individuals can be seen throwing small cartons at Dietrich's vehicle, and then they sped away in a black car. The cartons thrown at Dietrich appeared to be filled with a Brazilian heavy cream, which wound up splattered all over Dietrich's car. read more
Responding to a question on whether he would run again if he lost, the 78-year-old former president told US outlet Full Measure: "No, I don't. I think that that will be, that will be it. I don't see that at all."

Most western countries require ID to vote.
#14 | Posted by BellRinger
Most western countries also provide each and every citizen with an ID card from the moment they are born. Many of those nations providing them free of charge.
Guess which nation doesn't do so? I'll give you the hint, it's the one where you want to disenfranchise ~7% (1.6 million voters) of the population to stop about 1,500 voting fraud cases (www.heritage.org) over the last 30 years. So yeah, let's disenfranchise 1,598,500 voters to stop that 1,500 (who were caught under existing laws) because I'm sure tens of millions of voting fraud cases are going undetected according to MAGAt logic. How do they know? The GOP/Trump told them.

My prediction, Trump will debate. He's in trouble in the polls and there's nowhere to go but up.
"It's 100 percent that he's going to debate," Scaramucci told CNN's Anderson Cooper on 'AC360,' I'll make that prediction here. He's a wrestler, you know, he's like a UFC thing. He's going to say he's not going to debate. He knows he lost the debate and he knows he's debating her again, but he has to have a buildup," said Scaramucci, who served 11 days in the Trump administration. "He think it's a negotiating chip. He's trying to show his macho flex."thehill.com 09/13/24
It's hilarious to me that someone who no is obviously well over the legal age to purchase alcohol must show ID but requiring an ID to vote is the most horrific thing ever in spite of it having overwhelming support as a voting requirement.

Here you go BellRinger:
"Last year, Alabama began enforcing a controversial voter ID law that disenfranchised hundreds of otherwise eligible voters who lacked the proper documents. This month, the state plans to close 31 driver's license offices - most of them in rural, impoverished, majority-black counties - making it even harder for residents to get the most common form of ID used to vote." archive.thinkprogress.org
That was always the plan. Institute voter ID, knowing that it is poor people who tend to vote Dem that will lack that ID. Then make it difficult for those poor people to obtain ID without taking day(s) off from work (which most of them cannot afford to do, even assuming their employer let them do so).
It you're genuinely curious as to the goal and impact of voter ID laws, and not just repeating MAGAt talking points: "A Dead-Simple Algorithm Reveals the True Toll of Voter ID Laws Critics of voter ID laws have had a difficult time proving their menace in court. A new algorithm could change that." www.wired.com
