You'd think he'd find some bridge to live under by now.

He did, it is the Retort Bridge and we are all paying the toll.

If he had an R after his name you would lick his crack and stay silent.

I wont stand up for Platner and he should drop out at this point, but I will also support calling out all the hypocrites that are angry over this but give Trump a pass. Call it out on both sides or shut up.

"On topic I think Thomas nails it..." -- #29 | Posted by BellRinger

Please elaborate. Why does he nail it on the way he reads this amendment but that same style of reading doesn't apply to the 2nd amendment? How can we decide they only meant one type of people in the 14th but that it was any and all guns in the 2nd?

Now do Nancy Pelosi

#15 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Why would Nancy be an exception to this rule? It should apply to anyone holding public office. What is with you people that you always turn it back on the other side? Why cant we see the bad in both, call it out, and make those changes? Cant go after Trump because boo hoo Bill Clinton. I dont care, apply it across the board and the chips will fall where they fall.

Wasn't it Ray that always had a thing for buying Gold?

Article on MSN states "the ruling was 6-3, but the court was split 5-4 on whether Congress could vote to do away with birthright citizenship. But the decision was not unanimous. Three conservative judges dissented " Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch " saying the executive order should stand"

Someone upthread said something about a man in the 1950's being able to support a family on one income... Has anyone looked at the size of those houses they lived in?

Yes, my home was built in 1952. What is your point again?

The best you can muster is that minimum wage (isn't) meant to be a living wage. #119 | Posted by ClownShack

Honestly minimum wage shouldn't be a living wage, it should be an entry level wage for new young workers without work experience, and even then it should be like $15 per hour. Jobs that require experience should be paying a livable wage relative to the area you are working in. Something like 3x the average rent would be a suitable equation. If the average rent in your town is $1250, then livable wage would be about $21.63 per hour. Also, it should not require two working adults to raise a family, someone needs to be home to actually parent these kids.

I find it hilarious how angry you sound today. It is why I thought you could be trolling in another thread. I do know that 'idiots believe what idiots believe' but I do not think that the conversation went like that or that a nurse would risk her job to say the things he says she did.

It is also hilarious that John with no credibility would question mine. I simply called out that this "anecdote" was not worth the time it took you to type it. I dont have time to stay on this site all day but I check in to read pretty often and to see if anyone has replied to a random comment I leave. Until next time boys...........

I just dont believe you. I did get the covid shots, and the booster the following year, but I know far to many people around me that chose not to because "duh freedum" and they died. I have absolutely no adverse affects. All of my children and my husband got the first round of shots, no adverse affects. I will take my lived experience here in Idaho over your word on some yellow page.

Eberly clearly hasnt been around any kids in the foster system. These kids struggle and age out right at 18 whether they are prepared or not. There is no support to fall back on. Many end up on the streets. To be so out of touch with the actual reality of people around you is breath taking. Keep speaking down to everyone around you while you wear your rose tinted glasses.

Are you just trolling in this thread? You literally cannot even support yourself, with a roommate paying their half, on the current minimum wage. If corporations could get away with paying us nothing they would do it.

That "blanket or flag" is folded in half and is the seal from the state of Arkansas. I have seen other people point out that the furniture in the picture perfectly matches images from Camp David when Bush was in office. Clinton was Governor of Arkansas before being POTUS so this was very likely taken while Clinton was President. Either Trump visited Clinton at Camp David and it is someone he knew but clearly mistook, or he was going through pictures during his recent visit to Camp David and his dementia is progressed enough he thought this was one of his daughters.

So I am way behind on the whole tattoo thing for this guy and just know what I do from this thread. Are we now saying that the punisher skull is also a Nazi symbol? I frankly had no idea that Nazi imagery had used a skull and crossed bone design. Since I haven't looked at all the history of images they used I guess I only affiliated them with the swastika. Does any skull and cross bone design qualify? I'm in my forties and cant say that if I saw a skull and bone design of any sort on a person it would lead me to think they were racist.

You lost on the voter fraud argument so hard that you shifted to wealth inequality? Have a great day ^_^

#135 | Posted by visitor

That is mostly accurate. If you register online with no identification the SOS will put your other identifying information (Name, SSN, Birthdate, etc) through their verification process and if you are in fact a US Citizen as well as a California resident you will be given a number. Only after you have successfully completed their "verification process" will you be able to provide an ID from the list you posted earlier. By all means, if it is so simple to fraudulently register and vote go ahead and prove it.

#129 | Posted by visitor

No, you are still wrong. In #112 | Posted by oneironaut there is a link you can follow to the CA Sec of State site. From there click on "Register to Vote" in the left side panel and you can view the requirements and actually register if you want. You cannot register with any of the IDs you listed above, however if you are asked for an ID (after registering and the SOS approves your registration) at the poll by a worker, any of those forms of ID would be acceptable. If you attempt to register at the polls and vote you would be given a conditional ballot which are only "counted once the county elections office has completed the voter registration verification process."

They do not accept gym memberships to register to vote. You are going to pull your groin if you keep reaching like that.

IT would be possible to print to PDF and make all the ballots you wanted I suspect.

#112 | Posted by oneironaut

I just followed the link you provided and guess what... you in fact cannot print all the ballots you want. Since you provided the link I am sure you already knew that you can only request and print a ballot after verifying your identity with your driver license or ID number. No matter how many you complete and return only one would be counted per valid registered voter. The signature on your envelope, whether your own or the one they mail you, must match your signature on file or it also would not be counted. Keep reaching........

"The people deserve to know the outcome of an election on Election Day"

Then call it something different. It is really just a "Voting deadline day". Then there is a different deadline to get each ballot certified as received from 'eligible voters', opened and moved on to another area where the counted ballot no longer has voter information attached. Do you want it dont right, or done fast?

I noticed in the last maybe 2 weeks that there are fewer ads in the middle of a thread. It is distracting and hard to read when you can only see two comments and then advertise, 2 more, another ad, etc. I have been happier with the site lately.

#22 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Not to give Hillary a pass but the "followers" were voting based on the intelligence they were given at the time. We found out later how much was fabricated by the "leaders".

"Because Puerto Rico is not a state. And DC? Giving statehood to a fricking city?" - #50 | Posted by BellRinger

Puerto Rico has voted amongst themselves to become a state and it is left up to congress. I knew you would have nothing meaningful to add and frankly I am shocked you returned to say anything about it at all. I see no valid reason to deny PR statehood, it looks like party politics to me rather than consideration for our fellow citizens. As for DC that is another beast. The constitution created the capital to be neutral and not provide outsized influence to any one state. There are other ways to give more representation to the citizens that live there.

The rest of your comment is beyond outlandish and I wont address your non sequitur.

"My self-image is closely tied to my belief that I am a child of God" - BILLJOHNSON

I dont understand the whole religion thing. I recall being so young that my parents were still married, so 6 or younger, and playing in my backyard. Someone must have told me that god had planned my life because I distinctly remember thinking I wanted to swing but god must have planned that so I was going down the slide instead. Then I thought he probably planned that too and I might as well swing. Why anyone needs a sky daddy to keep them from behaving badly is beyond me.
