@#135 ... This is numbers without all the rationalizing. ...

... and that matters to this current discussion ... how?

@#126 ... If women truly respected themselves, they'd respect the power that comes with creating life ...

Aren't men a part of that power of creating that life?

On aspect I do notice in your comments is that the problem described seems to be with women, and not the men who assault them.

Why is that?

@#129 ... The burden is ultimately on women to not make themselves accessible. ...

The usual, aggressive horny men are OK, the problem is with the women.

What do you think about a man raping a women?

Is that still OK for you because that woman may have "made herself accessible?"

@#126 ... The real issue is how little respect liberals actually have for women and how little respect some women have for themselves. ...

So, apparently mixing religion with politics, something that your current has said it does not do.

@#17 ... Every idiot here said "Open borders is great" ...

First your current trolling alias needs to define "every idiot here" as it uses that phrase.

What's it got?

More from the article ...

... Just 25% of Hispanic adults have a favorable view of Trump -- a 19-point decline from the start of his second term, the Associated Press-NORC poll found.

Hispanic adults are also becoming more dissatisfied in Trump's job performance, according to the survey.

In March, 41% of Hispanic adults approved of the way Trump was handling his job as president, but now that has fallen to 27%.

The survey also found a larger percentage of Hispanic adults -- 73% --now say the country is going in the wrong direction than the 63% who said the same in March.

The shift could spell trouble for Republicans looking to cement support with this group in future elections. ...

@#123 ... Did any of them show up to this rally?

The argument is they didn't. ...

... and, you know that ... how?

So, the Trump admin, after cutting off food aid to Americans who need such aid to live, now has stopped the reporting of the problem is seems to be exasperating?

@#17

From the article you cite ...

... The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) under the administration of President Trump announced on Saturday that it will end a longstanding annual food insecurity survey, calling it "redundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous."

The Household Food Security Report provides yearly data on the lack of access to adequate nutrition for low-income Americans, and helps shape policy on how to combat food insecurity and hunger. ...

@#15 ... Putin has elections yet he's still a dictator. Funny how that works. ...

Yeah, you noticed that as well.

If Pres Trump achieves his goal of winning the House in 2026 (via politicians choosing voters instead of voters choosing politicians), then what would the Trump-servant House do in the 2028 election?

Might they refuse to certify any candidate who had the nerve to out-vote Pres Trump? And then put in place a policy that allows Pres Trump's reign to continue in future years?

@#121 ... Gay marriage threatened-approximately 20 million gay people in America ...

imo, that may be an under-estimate.

@#3 ... Where did France steal them from? ...

That's a good question.

What's yer got?

@#10 ... it requires a background check and is a hell of a lot of work for near minimum wage. ...

I remember a couple of encounters with election workers in my town.

The first was an election worker who was a neighbor of mine. She and her husband had known me for years. I went to parties in their next-door house.

But, when I showed up to vote one year, she was the official officiating.

I walked up to the table and she asked, may I see your ID please.

She knew who I was, yet she still did her assigned job. I respected her for that.

Fast forward to a few years later...

I went to vote.

I walked into the lobby of our Town Hall on my way to the voting area.

There she was, standing there. Along with a State Trooper.

I walked towards her, and I noticed the Trooper became active.

So I slowed down and let her come towards me.

We hugged and asked about how we were.

The Trooper backed off.

Kudos to that State Trooper for his appropriate response.

@#7 ... Wait, wasn't there a shift of Black voters towards Pres Trump in 2024? ...

... and if I may be so bold to add ...

@#6 ... If you believe these numbers you are a fool. ...

I'm not at that "fool" point yet.

The numbers look reasonable to me.

(imo, Reuters does their usual excellent breakdown of the individual numbers.)

So, don't react to the headline, read the article.

@#112 ... Problem solved. ...

Not really.

But continue to try to trivialized a significant issue that many Americans face.

@#11 ... But I do support voting for a politician because I believe he will support the right of Christians to live out their faith. ...

So, religion does enter into your politics, saying that you vote based upon your religious beliefs.

Contrary to the Constitutional separation of Church and State.

Thanks for admitting that.

@#15 ... killing a total of 310 people. ...

That's the thing.

Pres Trump does not seem to have one iota of care about Americas.

He only seems to care about himself, and how he can benefit.

@#7 ... Don't the states get to decide how voting works? Being a Republic, and all?...

Well, yeah.

But has that mattered to Pres Trump and his MAGA supporters?

The "America First" crowd now seems to be more along the lines of "The Constitution be damned" in what they have espoused of late in their apparent obsequious bowing to kiss the ring of Pres Trump.

.

@#5 ... Has he mentioned any? ...

Forgot to mention, aside from the fact that he lost that election?

@#4 ... A patriot. ...

In some respects, I'd agree with you.

But, that aside, why do we need to rely upon the oligarchy to pay (minimal pay) those who server our Country?

By your definition, Pres Trump, then, is not a patriot because he has refused to pay our Service members via his shutdown.

@#106 ... Liberals need to pick their causes a little smarter. ...

OK, now you seem to be changing your comments away from defending the separation of Church and State.

Why?

Did you realize that you could no present a cogent argument to substantiate your assertions/

@#100 ... It was a power exchange wrapped in scripture. ...

So, you say that you do not mix politics and religion, yet in that simple phrase, you do just that.
