I remember clearly Rand Paul saying he is for extending early voting to allow more people to vote. I’d link you to the interview, but this was back in 2015-2016.

NBC News: Sarah Sanders, ex-Trump press secretary, to run for Arkansas governor.

I have no issue with Voter ID. However if it is a right in the constitution, then it should be state provided. An ID is a cost. I don’t care if you don’t have two pennies to squeeze together, it should not cost a thing to vote.

I agree, but it shouldn’t be difficult for people to exercise that right. The more accessible, the more the country is shaped by the people in it.

It is almost as if telling people mail in votes were bad.

If trump got his base behind mail in voting he would have washed biden

But since he doubles down on dumb shit and gop backs him he loses in a landslide lol

Bama will not vote for sanders if she runs against a man

I honestly believe this. As someone said before, GOP stays in a reactive state. At best, It seems like they know how to read parts of a room.

It is dumb

They react for the moment

Now they have a choice to go all in with trump style catering to the loud minority

Or go back to being smug

Josh Hawley wrote an OpEd for the New York Post about conservatives being censored. He even tweeted about it. You know, he’s really muzzled right now, being able to write and publish an OpEd for a popular “news” agency while also tweeting about it and NOT getting banned from Twitter. So tragic he’s being censored. :roll_eyes:

Make way Doompostin’!

Sticking to the campaign mandate “Nothing will fundamentally change.”

I do wonder how much worse it will get.

Meanwhile in MAGA Land

I agree with you about it shouldn’t cost anything to vote.

I wouldn’t mind seeing an easy poll test though, that if you couldn’t pass it, you don’t get to vote but I know everyone in here will bristle at that.

Joe Biden to Mexico: We’ll Cut Migration by Raising Migration

President Joe Biden told Mexico’s president that the United States would reduce migration by raising migration, according to a White House statement.

The January 23 White House statement said:

President [Joe Biden] outlined his plan to reduce migration by 
 increasing [migrant] resettlement capacity and lawful alternative immigration pathways [in the United States], improving processing at the [U.S.] border to adjudicate [migrants’] requests for asylum, and reversing the previous administration’s draconian immigration policies.

Biden told Mexican President AndrĂ©s Manuel LĂłpez Obrador that he also plans “to reduce migration by addressing its root causes.”

The White House statement said, “the two leaders agreed to work closely to stem the flow of irregular migration to Mexico and the United States, as well as to promote development in the Northern Triangle of Central America.”

Mexico’s government provided a short and vague statement.

“We spoke with President Biden, he was kind and respectful,” the statement read. “We deal with issues related to migration, # COVID19 [Chinese coronavirus] and cooperation for development and well-being. Everything indicates that relations will be good for the good of our peoples and nations.”

Anti-Lockdown Riots Erupt as the Netherlands Imposes COVID Curfew

Riots erupted in the Netherlands on Sunday as citizens showed defiance against the national 9 pm coronavirus curfew imposed on the country.

Outgoing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte condemned the violence, saying: “It is inadmissible. Any normal person can only react to this with horror.”

Rutte said that the riots were “criminal violence” and had “nothing to do with the fight for freedom”.

“You really have to wonder what were these people thinking? The only fight we have to fight is to beat the virus,” he said.

Fear of the Right Wing Death Squads is so 2016.

Time to implement the Left Wing Vaccine Squads! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Partially serious here. Anybody out past curfew get the jab. If you’re going to be a scofflaw, then we need to ensure you’re not contributing to spread. There’s a good possibility we’ll see more unrest in the US if clear messaging and a plan of action is not laid out and expressed before Spring.

After a hard winter, and listening to hours of discussion on the virus - I’m preparing to slowly reintroduce myself to the outside when the weather breaks. Nothing foolish or aggressive, but going out to enjoy nature while avoiding people. It’s been three months since I last ordered carry out, and. . . I have to review my journals, but I think I last met a friend outdoors to chat last July.

Knowing what I know now, I can’t possibly do any worse than these brainlets who aren’t listening to and reviewing the data as it comes out and not altering their behavior.

It’s gonna be a mental health crisis when this is all said and done, and I hope I live to see some good books written on how poorly this was handled.
