Does the US produce enough oil to support our own usage? Why is US oil not first used in the US and the 'extra' sold on the world market? I will admit to a lack of any knowledge in this realm, it is not something I cared to dig into and even when I hear things in passing tends to go out the other ear. Are we not able to refine the oil we drill?

I am sure that was incredibly frustrating in a place so large because why should I have to drive all the way from work to a polling place in my district rather than going to the place nearest my work on my lunch break? There are measures in place that prevent the same voter from voting twice without treating people like that.

If those are the candidates Dems lose again. Trump cant run and the GOP will still win against a Cali politician or a woman.

Problem is, I think there is going to be more Democrats caught up in that. That's why nothing has been leaked lately..

Just going on statistics alone for these type offenses outside of the Epstein files, it is far more likely to lean heavily GOP instead. That being said I want everyone to go down. Burn it to the ground. Right now the sitting POTUS is most important because he is in a position of power, Epstein died under his watch, he is named far more times than anyone else, and they are being incredibly secretive about his mentions. Files are missing and when they take the time to hide stuff that usually means there is something bad on it. If you want everyone to go down Boaz you should support honest investigations of everyone instead of helping shield your chosen one.

Have you spoken to any of these people? Can you be sure they are liberals and did they leave the state for political reasons?

Yes but she got more votes than Trump and it was that close after the FBI director came out and said she was still part of an active investigation. I wont discount the affect that had on the voters, how many decided to stay home?

Hilary was robbed, she won the popular vote and I believe she only lost the EC because of James Comey and the email BS. Kamala was a bad candidate and I agree with Clown that Biden waited too long and should have stayed in at that point.

Boaz, nobody is surprised that Dems didnt stand for Trump no matter how he framed the question and who they should stand for. It was a dog and pony show. I seriously doubt it is going to affect midterms but you can hope and we shall see.

Eberly, I dont recall you having this much to say about MTG and cohorts shouting out/drowing out Biden with their boos and screaming during SOTU. Why do you suddenly care this much? I didnt watch it and wont bother with the snips I could find online but I dont see how it could have been any worse than Biden was treated each year.

well, since you Democrats are not smart enough to figure out how to get an ID just find a Republican and they will help you

I have a REALID which has the star on it here in Idaho and I CANNOT use that to register to vote if I move and the SAVE act passes. Stop pretending otherwise.

I do not have a passport book, just a passport card as I have traveled into Canada a few times and that makes it simple. If they want to issue all citizens a passport card at no cost that is fine, but they wont so that means this is an intentional obstacle to voting.

'We know it is happening but we cant prove it, just believe us...'

Lamp, I am in Idaho and have seen Talarico all over the internet. He is impressive and I dont think spending so much on one ad is going to be a negative in his game. Just my 2 cents.

unused ballots floating around?

Where do these usually float around when someone requests one and doesnt use it? And if someone other than the registered voter on that ballot does complete it is it really counted at all? How many ballots are tossed each election because the signature couldnt be verified or for other safety reasons?

All of the identity confirmation should be on the front end to register. Once registered a ballot should be automatically mailed out each election cycle. They can track and confirm that the ballot was signed by the proper person as they already do. As soon as a change of address is submitted to the post office there should be a way to flag the individuals registration and they will be required to re-register to get back on the mailing list. It doesn't need to be hard to vote in order to prevent fraud.

I know this is common sense that evades Liberals but you don't show up at a hot protest with a loaded gun with a loaded magazine.

Maybe you can link us back to where you posted the same s**t in a Kyle Rittenhouse thread?

I am great and still here pretty much daily but mostly just for the entertainment value a lot of you provide, as well as occasional varying perspectives. I understand where truth is coming from but Jeff is too far gone and it made this thread hard to follow :)

I had to killfile truthhurts until they get a grip... Guess I will be signed in for a bit.
