27 illegals voting in Texas over the last 40 years. Feel free to explain how the security of the vote has been compromised.

More Republicans than that have been caught committing voter fraud in places like Florida with people voting by absentee back to their home state and then voting a second time in Florida. Or the people who voted for a deceased parent claiming that they knew they would have voted for Trump is they had lived until the election.

OCU

And what message does this send...

OCU

We voted on Sunday, October 18, after Mass, dropping off our ballots at a drop box near one of the fire stations in our city (there are 11 drop boxes located around the city). Within 24 hours, we were notified, via text message, that our ballots had been received, verified and were assured that our votes would be counted.

For the record, we live in Southern California.

OCU

Our tax dollars at work...

OCU

If this book proves to be accurate, it's just another example of the corruption which reaches near the top.

Now while Kushner's lawyers have denied that the claims made in the book are true, we just have to wait and see what they do next. If they file a defamation suit, that will tell us one thing, but if all they do is yell and wave their hands, that will also tell us something.

OCU

Is Trump going to go 'trick or treating'?

OCU

Trump meant 'us', not 'US'...

OCU

"I expect Trump knows he'll be impeached if he loses both houses of congress"

Only if some Senate Republicans come along. They need 60 to convict in the Senate.

Actually, they need 67 votes in the Senate to convict.

OCU

Where do these Republican campaigns get the people who works in them, or are they just using AI, which is getting it all wrong?

OCU

I was trying to be ironic...

OCU

Line item veto?

How else is it that Trump can simply refuse to spend money that has already been allocated by Congress.

OCU

When did Trump get a 'line item veto' privilege?

OCU

They thought it was fun to "own the libs", they never expected it to impact them... It isnt fun anymore when you start feeling the pain.

It's like the three-time white, male Trump voter who was lamenting that when he voted for Trump, he was expecting that all of the 'bad things' were only going to happen to 'the other' people.

OCU

The real issue here is that the FCC, ostensibly an independent federal agency, is being asked to allow political operatives, the vast majority of which are working for Republicans who are desperate to hold onto their seats in Congress, to flood the phone lines with more AI slop.

OCU

What could possibly go wrong...

OCU

BTW, there's a caveat which some people may not be aware of. If you're on a Medicare Advantage insurance plan, you will NOT be getting the $90 Social Security rebate. People on Medicare Advantage have already surrendered all of their Medicare benefits, both Parts A and B, toward covering the cost of your Medicare Advantage insurance plan.

OCU

I just did a Google inquiry and according to what it reported, the $90 payout will not be taxable since it's considered a 'rebate' against the money that you've already paid for your Medicare Part B insurance. Under federal law, 'rebates' are generally not considered to be 'income'.

OCU

Question: Will the $90 be considered to have been a 'normal' Social Security payment, thus subject to being taxed, which in our case, 85% of it would be? Note that in California, Social Security benefits are not subject to the state's income tax, so if it is considered to be a taxable benefit, it will only be subject to federal income taxes.

OCU

I just checked and a $90 deposit was made to my bank account earlier this morning, and it's listed as 'SSA TREAS 310 - XXSOC SEC'. I checked my wife's account and nothing there for her yet.

OCU

As a nation, do we really need to expend taxpayer money on what many will see as an effort to revise history?

OCU

Can anyone spell 'conflict of interest'...

OCU

Well, this occurred at a rather inopportune time...

OCU

We've never enabled the on-line features of our Bosch refrigerator, and it's doing quite well by itself.

OCU

Just when Trump wants to allow AI to be used without any guardrails...

OCU

Note that in Russia, you can vote online. I wonder what Trump would think about that in terms of being susceptible to voter fraud, but when you consider that, at least in Russia, there's really only one party that you can vote for, who cares how much 'voter fraud' might be taking place?
