So if FLa voted to allow Floridians to vote and it’s some GOP conspiracy to keep the will of floridians , then isn’t the democratic scheme to do away with the electoral college the same thing ? If Florida’s goes GOP and California goes dem the CA. Votes counts more ?

Two separate issues. getting rid of the electoral college means every vote counts, and not that certain states can basically decide who the President is.

What the GOP in Florida is trying to do is ensure that certain people dont get to vote, well unless they pay this new poll tax.

Foolish take, the reason you have the college is to PREVENT certain more populous states from controlling everything . Every vote does count but it gives less populous states a fair shake

One man , one vote “democracy “ has failed throughout history as it degenerates into mob rule which the founding fathers were astute in noting

In November, Florida voters overwhelmingly approved Amendment 4, which restored voting rights to about 1.4 million former convicted felons. The amendment required “automatic” restoration of voting rights to felons “who have completed all terms of their sentence, including parole or probation” except those “convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense.”

On Tuesday, Republicans on the Florida House Criminal Justice Subcommittee voted to approve a bill requiring felons to pay any outstanding fines or fees before they can have their voting rights restored. It was a move critics like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., quickly labeled a “poll tax.”

I don’t see anything wrong with it . Paying a fine is in fact a part of paying for the crime

LOTT: Trump Keeps Condemning White Nationalists — So Why Does The Media Keep Denying It?

I can post this 2000 times and you people will still buy the false narrative and editing of the MSM

Now if anyone researched this they would find that eugenics was designed to eliminate “ undesirables” , mainly blacks . Margret Sanger , a woman HRC greatly admires and founder of planned patenthood , who thought blacks should be killed” like weeds” . She was apart of this movement .

Strangely blacks vote for people who support this stuff that was designed to exterminate them .

ISIS caliphate has crumbled and last stronghold liberated, Fox News has learned

Trump accomplishes in two years what Obama was helpless or disinclined to do for his entire administration...

Yeah I wonder how many people will be pissed about that ? How dare he protect free speech ?

Well, signing it's one thing. Let's see if it's enforced, especially out west.

3rd source I posted about this .

Major media figures insist on spreading the calumny that Trump called neo-Nazis ‘fine people.’ The only explanation for such a repeated falsehood is abject laziness or willful deception.”

A falsehood repeatedly claimed by people on this board

Donald Trump doesn't like John McCain. John McCain didn't like Donald Trump. So what?

I'm starting t realize a few posters here are just that- willful liars masking it with language.

Biden in 1983: FDR's Failed Court-Packing Scheme was a 'Bone Head' Plan and a 'Terrible Mistake'

Sen Joe Biden: FDR's "bone head" court-packing scheme (spun as needed reforms) was a "terrible, terrible mistake."


Does he still believe this, or will he be forced to embrace the specious "but Merrick Garland!" excuse for wrecking norms & institutions?

Really? McCain is dead. But trump can’t let it go. That doesn’t seem like a problem to you? Is that a trait you cherish in your leader? Arent there more important issues the country needs him dealing with than his own petty squabbles with a dead man?

Doesn't bother me. Songbird McCain's spiteful role in the dossier/investigation hinders Trump still. So he may be worm fodder but I won't praise him just cuz he's a carcass rotting.

Let’s be honest , McCain was an asshole to the press until he started up on Trump

Therein lies the problem, Trump being competitive and territorial as he is, simply couldn't stomach being the lesser asshole to the press!

Well, if you would take a breath and read what I and others have posted, no one is debating if taking care of the planet is a good thing. That's is all you see because thats what you want to see. What I and others are trying to get you to consider is that there may be other options to achieve the same results with more efficiency and effectiveness. Just because funding as a line item may have been cut doesn't mean that clean up efforts are dropped. It may just mean that they are considering other funding methods. Tax incentives to companies to invest in these efforts, for example. But you hate for Trump automatically goes to "he doesn't care about the environment" with out investigating the Administration's full position.

Point well taken, but you have to admit that it's a truly difficult thing to give serious considerations to folks who still insist on building a wall or other barriers when they are already in place and have been for years!!
