Legislation that enhances election integrity, like asking for ID, should be a no-brainer. Democrats oppose just about all of these requirements. That speaks volumes about their real intentions. I agree with some of the previous posts above, if results are not all in on election night and it takes days or weeks to count all the ballots in key swing states then those will go to the Democrats. I didn't post this video because of PJW's prediction but he talks about a news website that sounds pretty interesting. Showing what stories are covered by left and right news outlets.

I'm hearing that voter turnout in Georgia is quite high now. So much for the Democrats spewing out all this Jim Crow 2.0 nonsense. Georgia marks record early-voter turnout in midterm elections (cnbc.com) Some news outlets are still trying to spin this with headlines like "voter turnout high, in spite of new voting laws".

She does have a team behind her. Greta Thunberg: The PR guru behind climate change activist’s rise | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site Greta gets a lot of attention from the adoring paparazzi who give her the movie star treatment.

Demonizing your opponents and never letting a good crisis go to waste. Killing two birds with one stone as they say.

robosmith was very specific in that he stated "The EC representatives are required by law to be assigned according to the popular vote in ALL states. Required by law. I don't know if it is required by law or not. And there were those celebrities urging the EC representatives to ignore the popular vote in those states Trump won. They are mostly the same bunch that shout about the importance of winning the popular vote.

So do you think these celebrities asking that the Electoral College not certify the election for Trump some years ago were encouraging them to do something illegal? Trump did win those states after all. Ok I'll concede that these are not A list celebrities.? Has-been Martin Sheen is the only one that I recognize. I highly recommend Mark Dice!

He may just be feeling a bit sarcastic about this. For the sake of comparison, the Pelosi attacker is being held without bail as he should be. It's a no brainer. Contrast that with the attack against Lee Zeldin. Some guy attacks him on stage, trying to stab him. It's on video and not in dispute. July 22, 2022 An attempted assault on Representative Lee Zeldin, the Republican candidate for governor of New York, inflamed a fierce debate over the state’s public safety laws on Friday, hours after a man accused of charging the candidate with a pointed weapon was released without bail. The man who allegedly tried to stab Republican candidate for New York governor Lee Zeldin with a bladed weapon during a campaign stop on Thursday was released from jail within hours of his arrest on a felony charge — just as Zeldin had predicted. David Jakubonis, 43, from Fairport, New York, was arraigned overnight in Perinton Town Court on a count of second-degree attempted assault stemming from the attack on Rep. Zeldin but was quickly released on his own recognizance. Quite a difference isn't it. And Republican Lee Zeldin has strongly condemned this violent attack against Pelosi, as should everyone. And what font size are you using now? Is that like a 56 or 72?

Can you cite some examples of things he has said that you would categorize as extremist?

Is the United States a Republic? (constitutionus.com) Constitutional Republic - Definition, Examples, Cases, Processes (legaldictionary.net) I keep reading that the US is defined as a Constitutional Republic to be specific. Not to be confused with the Democratic Republic of Congo. More representation for the smaller states. It's explained very nicely and simply here by Charlie Kirk.

Constitutional republic. It's not decided by the popular vote. This point has been made many times in this forum yet nobody on the left seems to understand it.

Fetterman is a terrible candidate mainly because of his policies. But he still has a great chance to win if shady things happen on election night in PA. One has already happened; 240,000 unverified ballots have been received. Is this going to be another case of "here we go again"?

Quite a big disparity in how Antifa/BLM rioters got treated vs those that rioted on Jan 6. Not to mention the sheer number of people that engaged in rioting. I think most of those on the left aren't even aware of the vast amount of damage caused by Antifa/BLM over the last few years. Whoopi Goldberg didn't know anything about it, rather typical of people that share her views. Jan 6 has been blown all out of proportion by the usual suspects, as admitted by a NYT reporter.

On the flip side of that argument, what the hell happened to the Democratic party? From just a short time ago during Bill Clinton's two terms, they had a very strong economy and pretty reasonable policies overall. Even abortion was supposed to be "safe, legal, and rare". Not anymore. Today's Democratic party is unrecognizable compared to that era. They have moved far, far left on the political spectrum and promote policies that are not working for Americans. Bernie Sanders was appointed by Biden as an economic advisor! What does that tell you? This is a party more beholden to George Soros than to the average working American. Their policies are failing on virtually every front, and they keep pushing for more of the same.

It's not the first time any protester has occupied Nancy Pelosi's office. Protesters Arrested Outside Nancy Pelosi's Office In Climate Demonstration | HuffPost Latest News But I would guess that all of those people were not met with the full weight of the law with regards to punishment.

The same David Brooks that wrote an article," Why is there still no strategy to defeat Donald Trump?" Opinion | Why Is There Still No Strategy to Defeat Donald Trump? - The New York Times (nytimes.com) NY Times’ David Brooks Rips ‘Mental Corruption’ of Republicans (yahoo.com) Opinion | The Rotting of the Republican Mind - The New York Times (nytimes.com) These are all articles by Republican David Brooks. A more accurate description of him would be a RINO?

The New York Times is unabashedly pro-Democrat and everyone on their editorial board and on down thoroughly despises Donald Trump, Republicans everything they stand for. When they come to the defense of a single Trump supporter that is on tape egging on other protesters that raises a gigantic red flag.

Do you have any explanation why Epps gets not only a pass from the justice system , but he is also defended by the MSM while those who stood beside him feel the full weight of the law? You aren't even the least bit curious about this?

I would suggest that more range is better than less range. I drive 180km round trip on a daily basis. It's also possible that when more EV's are on the road certain governments may start telling people when they can and can't charge them. Like California. I like having around 800km of range in my car. They could have put a fuel tank 1/4 of the size in there but the car would then be rendered impractical for me.

Often when criminals are let out early or get a very light sentence, they go right back to crime. Recidivism The definition of recidivism found in the U.S Law Encyclopedia: The behavior of a repeat or habitual criminal. A measurement of the rate at which offenders commit other crimes, either by arrest or conviction baselines, after being released from incarceration. According to information from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the national recidivism rate in the United States is 67.5 percent. Recidivism is when an individual released from prison re-offends and returns to prison. It is the most accurate, internationally comparable measurement of how successful a particular correctional system is. There is a cost when criminals do the same thing over and over again. Real human victims not to mention a financial cost.

Like most of the other common-sense types in this forum, I'll continue to stay on the high ground and do my best to be civil with you.

I find it kind of funny. You are clearly losing your cool since you once again resort to personal insults. Don't take it personally but the two of you just perfectly fit the mold of the snowflake type/safe spaces/ easily triggered anxiety types. Just laugh with it like the rest of us. You guys do have an almost identical style of posting in here. I'm no internet expert but can't IP's be changed with the use of a VPN? Politics can be frustrating for everyone, but we have to find time to laugh too. Things can be scary and hilarious at the same time, think of those "Libs of Tiktok" videos.

Are you and robosmith one and the same? I mean, with the use of CAPS and all?

Some governments have put dates in place to ban the sale of ICE vehicles. Manufacturers are responding to the heavy hand of those governments. Here Are 30 Countries, Cities And Automakers That Have Agreed To Ban ICE Vehicles By 2040 (autojosh.com) There has always been speculation about what the technological limits are of ICE vehicles and that's fair question. But I wonder what the limits of EV's are? We have ICE cars that had ranges of over 1000km (like VW diesels) and could be refueled in minutes. Will there ever be an EV with equal capability? I own a $21,000 car with a range in the neighborhood of 800km. Currently, I know of no EV anywhere close to that. There may be a time when EV's will be capable of equaling the range and refueling times of current ICE cars AND be comparable in price. But they aren't on the market now and it may not be a sure thing that they ever will. Who could hop in an EV and drive across the country without major, and I mean major planning down to the minute? Contractors that use their trucks to two are going to have some big hurdles to work around too. Check out this guy who towed a relatively light load with his electric F150:

While I think Fetterman is an unbelievably bad candidate I do wish the guy a full recovery from his stroke. Having said that, who in their right mind would vote for this guy? He has said 1/3 of the prison population can be let out and it will make no difference to public safety. Is he nuts? Apparently Fetterman comes from a pretty wealthy family and has lived off mummy and daddy for most of his life. Fetterman’s Prior Remarks About Criminals Are Making Jaws Drop – The Conservatives Post Fetterman sponged off parents till he was 49 but attacks Dr. Oz’s wealth in PA Senate race (nypost.com) His opponent, Dr. Oz is also wealthy, but he actually earned his wealth through hard work, which may be an alien concept to Fetterman.

I'm not complaining about Tesla's price hike in California. Tesla is a private company and have every right to do what they did. I have merely been pointing out the obvious in that the cost to charge EV's will sooner or later be equal to the cost of refilling ICE vehicles. If it's cheaper now for EV's, it won't be for long. I would rather let the free market decide and not be forced into one or the other. Let the superior product prevail, if it turns out to be EV's then so be it.
