Steven is the guy who was proclaiming that c***d would k**l less than 500 people.

Thom, I see that you haven't matured since the last time I was on this website. You automatically reply to absolutely everything I say with "Steven said C***d would k**l only 500 people." I guess you think you are scoring some sort of points or something. If it makes you feel better then so be it.

You are the guy who several years ago mentioned briefly in a comment that your wife had just passed away. Alarmed, I sent you a private message of condolence despite our political disagreements on Ugly Hedgehog. It turned out later that you were only being sarcastic with your comment about the wife passing away. Yet you never had the decency to respond to my private message either in a comment or in a private message of your own to let me know that it was a misunderstanding. Or to even thank me for putting aside our differences and showing concern.

So when I see these juvenile taunts over and over about the C***d thing, I take it with a grain of salt.

Pretty much everything you said. I'll just hit Georgia with notes from the NY Times analysis of the Georgia law:

V**ers will now have less time to request absentee b****ts. (The problem here is they need a photo government ID;
I don't have a problem with this, but many people of color work during the day and do not have the ability to go and get the ID during the workweek. This can be abrogated by having issuing cavities to be open longer than normal government hours).

There are strict new ID requirements for absentee b****ts. (See above)

It’s now illegal for e******n officials to mail out absentee b****t applications to all v**ers. (This was during C***D - if a new plague comes along - that's a problemm.)

Drop boxes still exist … but barely. (The drop boxes were moved from areas readily accessible to v**ers of color - also not having b****t boxes available out side eliminates the ability of these workers depositing their b****ts after they work).

Mobile v****g centers (think an R.V. where you can v**e) are essentially banned. (See above)

Early v****g is expanded in a lot of small counties, but probably not in more populous ones. (i.e. not available in wards that are black or brown).

Offering food or water to v**ers waiting in line now risks misdemeanor charges. (because the poll sites are limited in black & brown areas - the lines are often long and cause the potential v**ers to be out waiting for hours).

If e******n problems arise, a common occurrence, it is now more difficult to extend v****g hours.

With a mix of changes to v**e-counting, high-turnout e******ns will probably mean a long wait for results.

E******n officials can no longer accept third-party funding (a measure that nods to right-wing conspiracy theories).

With an eye toward v***r f***d, the state attorney general will manage an e******n hotline. (now not an independent body).

The Republican-controlled legislature has more control over the State E******n Board. (now not an independent body).

The secretary of state is removed as a v****g member of the State E******n Board.

The G.O.P.-led legislature is empowered to suspend county e******n officials. (now not an independent body).

Runoff e******ns will happen faster — and could become harder to manage.

I'm sure the above won't convince you - but that's on you, not me.
Pretty much everything you said. I'll just hit Geo... (show quote)

Wow! A thoughtful and well-reasoned reply! I'm not used to that on this site.

I take note of the details you provide and it does not support the critics assertions that Georgia is "suppressing" the v**e or as Biden puts it "Jim Crow on steroids." It just sounds like ordinary security measures that every state and every country in the world puts in place in order to deter fraud. Besides, as I said before, we used to have only one single day out of the year to v**e and you could not mail it in or drop it in a box on the sidewalk. We had to show up in person.

Geez! Sounds like someone has missed his medication.

Please tell me... how many "f**e b****ts" were found in Georgia's last e******n that would have the GOP go to such extremes as to "hide" the b****t box indoors?

What difference does it make? Georgia didn't suppress anyone from v****g.

Hillary didn't "recant." She claimed that Donald Trump was an ill********e P*******t on numerous occasions. She said he only won because of Russian interference. It was pretty big news in right-wing media. Here's one on "The View"

Hillary conceded. That is an order of magnitude of difference between the two.

Only one President in history did not support the peaceful t******r of p***r. That put Trump in a category of his own.

Trying to equate the two is the mother of false equivalencies.


Hillary took back her concession by later claiming that Trump was not legitimately elected.

I guess you missed these if you read the article:

Your examples do not confirm v**er suppression in Georgia. First of all, they required each county to have a drop box for absentee b****ts, and then specifies a number of additional drop boxes based on the number of registered v**ers. These drop boxes are now required to be indoors and only open during hours of early v****g instead of outdoors in the middle of the night when anybody can stuff f**e b****ts into them. If that is v**er suppression, then I want to move to Georgia. In my county we have a single building in downtown Cleveland in which you can drop off an absentee b****t. Like I said, in the old days there wasn't any such thing as a b****t drop box. Everybody had to show up at the polls on a single day.

The limited v****g hours is a completely backwards conclusion. Georgia in fact expanded it's v****g hours. Its old law said v****g “shall be conducted during normal business hours on weekdays” and it required one Saturday to be open for v****g before the e******n. The new law says that the time period should “beginning at 9:00 A.M. and ending at 5:00 P.M. on weekdays” but it allows for each county to expand this from 7:00 AM til 7:00 PM if they chose to. They have also added a mandatory extra Saturday for early v****g and given each county the option of adding two Sundays also. This is ridiculously generous to the lazy v**ers. You can't go by what Biden said when he lied about v****g hours in Georgia on multiple occasions. They have in fact expanded v****g hours.

The next one says they made additional I.D. requirements. I won't even comment on that. If you think it is wrong to verify actual legal v**ers then you are just bu11$hi##ing me.

The last point on the blue card says "made it illegal to provide thse waiting in line with food or water." This is of course nonsense. The law forbids "e******n campaigners" (those annoying people who hand you literature at the polling place to try and get you to v**e for their candidate) from providing food and water because naturally this is seen as a bribe. Anybody else, including e******n officials can provide as much food and water as they want. Besides, if you were to deny food and water to those in line, this would be discriminatory towards White people because Negros and other dark-skinned people survive better in the Georgia heat than do Caucasians.

Care to dispute any of that?

The science is settled! Trump can do no right and Biden can do no wrong. Every one knows that, every news paper and TV show will tell you just that. Don't waste your time reading and watching because deep down we all already know Biden is a superior human.
If you don't believe me just give him 4 more years in office and see how wonderful our world will become.

So I guess you don't know of any examples. I have no idea what you are ranting about otherwise.

You have simply linked to a site that is supposedly fighting against v**er suppression. That is not helpful. Why don't you give me the examples first hand? You surely must know the most egregious ones off the top of your head, no?

I can tell you haven't been paying attention. If you were, you'd know how wrong you are.

Okay, why don't you point out the specifics of where I am wrong. I'm very curious to know.

Nobody is attempting to restrict anybody's right to v**e. I guess we just expect the rest of the people to do it like we've been doing it all along. Unless you're old or have some disability, stand in line or go to early v****g, which is available to all. Everybody can register and everybody can v**e. Extended v****g is even made available in the evenings for early v**ers. Next thing you know, people will be saying that Republicans are restricting peoples' right to grocery shop.

Complaining about v**er suppression is just laughable. V****g is so easy today that you don't even have to get out of your chair to v**e. You can fill out the form in the comfort of your own home and give it to the mailman. And you are given a frigging month to do it! Just a couple of decades ago people had to show up in person on one day of the year. Now that was v**er suppression!

I hope that we (Republicans) would have the sense to move on. On the other hand, we Republicans are worried about a Democrat autocracy with freedom of speech and religion severely impaired. Dems are even willing to pack the Supreme Court in order to get the rulings they want, now that the balance on the court, after many years, no longer favors them. It doesn't matter that the recent a******n ruling is due to the fact that Roe v. Wade was bad law. It's because they want what they want and could get it as long as they had more liberal justices willing to read into the Constitution.

I agree 100% with this comment and your original post.

It is strange that liberals like Frank always accuse Trump of being an autocrat or a dictator, when in fact his actions and policies were the opposite. For instance, liberals begged him to proclaim draconian national orders for lock-downs and other coercive measures to deal with C***d, but Trump instead deferred to each State's governor to exercise his own power. Another example is the way Trump made himself available for press interviews just about anytime he wasn't doing something more important. People don't like his answers or his combatitiveness with the press, but at least he faced them and didn't run and hide like the current President. Besides, it was Barack Obama who spied on journalists and had more of them and press leakers arrested and jailed than the previous six or eight presidents combined. I'm not sure if Trump had any arrested at all, though I don't remember for sure.

No there, there!

The Durham investigation is all but over without finding much.

One Washington lawyer was charged for lying to the FBI, other than that, nada!


I don't know what exactly you are referring to. There is no indication that the Durham investigation is over. In fact he just uncovered the bombshell the the FBI has been paying Steele Dossier creator Iggy Delchenko as an informant for years all through the Trump presidency when they knew the Dossier was f**ed from the beginning.

Then they should take off their blinders. I think they are just too afraid to charge a former POTUS; never been done before, I guess.

They've been looking for years to try and find something on Trump, but it just isn't there. One way that you know is because anything Trump does that is wrong or bone-headed is immediately trumpeted in the news, even the stuff that they make up. And anything that is found in secret is immediately leaked to the press, whether legal or not. His tax returns, for instance were leaked to the press, but nobody could find anything amiss.

It's not that you can't charge a President with anything. Nixon resigned just before charges were filed in an era that was way more forgiving of our leaders than the present time. His Vice President, Agnew, also resigned later due to a corruption charge of taking bribes from government contractors.

The New York State's attorneys have been publicly proclaiming that they have been investigating Trump for the last two or three years in order to obtain an indictment. So far they've come up with bupkis.

Maybe because they couldn't find any evidence of wrongdoing?

But, you see that is the problem. She "had no intent" yet the law says nothing about intent. At the same time that she was not charged there was a sailor who took a couple of cell phone photos of the inside of the nuclear submarine he was deployed on. He was charged under the same law that they did not charge Hillary under even though just like Hillary they determined that he had no intent.

Intent was irrelevant to the crime. And, she probably did keep herself at arm's length from any performance of wrongdoing, but she clearly knew about it since it was all over the news. It really stretches credibility to believe that your campaign can purchase false information from Russia, and then that false information can be used to spy on first Carter Page and then Trump, and you don't know about it. Give me a break.

It is clearly a huge political story that not only shows the corruption of the Democratic party, but of the FBI and CIA who went along with the plan even though the evidence shows that they knew it was false.

Excellent assessment. It just shows the corruption of the Justice Department to pick and choose who to prosecute.
