Rants and Raves

It's a clear sign of a Republican Party headed for a very quick and painful extinction.

But that's what happens when they stop voting for reasonable and moderate politicians like John McCain and Mitt Romney and start hitching their shit wagon to a corrupt, pathological scam artist like Trump.

It's funny watching all the uneducated Trumpers in here squeal like frightened swamp rats as the Democrats squash them all like little cockroaches.

The ebb and flow of political thought in this country is like a giant sine wave. What is up today will be down tomorrow. I happen to agree that Trump was an aberration which will haunt the Republican party for some time to come, but it will pass and more reasonable minds will prevail. Similarly, the Democrats will have to face a mounting spending / tax income inequity that the public will no longer be able to tolerate. Republicans will come; Republicans will go. Democrats will come; Democrats will go. The sad thing is that in either case, nothing of substance will occur until we get past the current atmosphere of party extremism and start to work in a truly bipartisan manner -- actually working FOR the citizens of the country instead of against whatever the opposing party promotes.

Does anyone believe that had the Republicans not suffered 3 embarrassing defeats during the last election that they'd have passed this controversial set of voting laws?

Mumblemouth's home state is run by the woke Democrat crowd, disgusting, vile hypocrites that they are and therefore off limits to comparison and criticism. The befuddled, bony-assed, decrepit old fool continues to lie about the GA. Law every day and yet the media traitors offer no push back as they enable the new American Communist Party to turn this nation into a totalitarian nightmare.

Is that why you filthy and corrupt Republicans keep losing elections over and over and over?

You keep calling yourself "patriots" but you Trump scum are nothing but domestic terrorists hell bent on hating and attacking everything that America stands for.

Hillary was spot on about you hillbilly. You are deplorable.

Since this is in the rant and raves, I'm going to rant and rave a little. Why are you people discussing this shit on here? This ain't Meet The Fucking Press. Talk about pussy and tits. I just wish people would stop getting butt hurt over every fucking issue in the world.

Because it's every American's patriotic duty to destroy the Corrupt GOP and drain the Trump Crime Swamp of every last sniveling rat like Matt Gaetz.

Based on the responses in here since Pyongyang Donnie lost the 2020 election so bigly, it appears the Democrats are winning and winning and winning like there is no end in sight.

It's a beautiful thing!

Because this "shit" was bleeding over into the massage parlor section and the administration created this thread to keep it away from what should be the main purpose of this entire site. I wish what you wish too but it ain't going to happen.

"You are technically correct, the best kind of correct. " - Number 1. 0, Futurama.

A most excellent rebuttal, sir.

Sgt. Lurker: I think we know where he got them. Thank you for rebutting him point by point. I'll add my own post tomorrow. Thanks for continuing the fight.

The most dangerous part of the Georgia voting law is that it removes from the State Election Board the vote of the Secretary of State even though under Georgia Constitution, the Scty of State oversees elections. It also puts the board under the control of the legislature. And the election board can suspend and replace any local election official basically anytime they want, for just about any reason like having an honest election. (And I thought Republicans didn't like big government).

Did you get this straight from CNN?

If that had been the law in November, a state board controlled by the Republican legislature would have been able to do exactly what President Trump illegally wanted firing election officials in counties, like Clayton, Dekalb and Fulton, that voted big for Biden. And then sending in carpetbaggers to declare fraud where there was none, and fraudulently throw out thousands of African-American votes.

Read the law. No more than 4 counties at a time, for 4 month stints, extendable to 9 months and only if they receive 3 or more complaints over 2 consecutive elections for a minimum of six complaints without resolution.

And yes there are even more ways that the new voter suppression law is designed to make voting harder in Georgia:

- You can still vote absentee for any reason, but now it's illegal for officials to send absentee applications to every voter.

Was never codified, some counties just up and did it. So did some DNC committee. Absentee ballots should never be sent arbitrarily, only when requested.

- The law also reduces how much time a voter has to request a ballot, and blocks any organizations that help people get absentee ballots. It also requires every absentee voter to jump through extra hoops that a voter at the polls does NOT have to.

Voters at polls have to present a photo I'd and so do absentee ballots. They actually increase total # in GA and it exceeds NY, CO, and DE.

- The new law sets up requirements for early voting like not allowing it after 5 pm that make it harder for working people to vote. It also eliminates mobile voting stations, except in an emergency like hurricanes or alien invasion and only if the governor says to do it.

7 PM. Read it.

- Also puts huge limits on local officials allowing extra "drop boxes" for absentee ballots, another way of increasing the odds of long long lines at the regular polls.

By GA Code, after Gov Kemp's emergency COVID order expires so do the dropboxes. Now they are codified and permanent.

- Altogether, the law's discourage absentee voting and make early voting less effective. The intent seems to be causing much much longer & slower lines at the polls, which, again, will mean large numbers of working class, elderly, and sick voters who just give up and go home.

Once again, CNN BS. The number of polling places and machines are controlled by counties but each polling place should not exceed 2,000 registered voters. See 21-2-263 (a).

- And if anybody who comes along to offer a battle of water or a Ritz cracker to a voter getting thirsty or tired? Well, as everyone has heard, now that simple, kind gesture will be a crime, thanks to our state elected officials.

Water can be distributed outside the 150 ft ltd of the building and self-serve by poll workers.

Bottom line: Georgia had an incredibly close & fair election, in which officials most of them Republicans did a great job encouraging every legal voter to vote. Almost 5 million people voted the most ever and Joe Biden surprisingly won by a tiny <12,000 margin. There was no evidence of voting fraud, and barely even any apparent human error. The only thing that supposedly "went wrong," was that the losing party was sore that it lost the presidential election and two US Senate seats. Why did the Republicans lose the presidential vote in Georgia? And the Senate slots? Primarily because 1000's of women in the suburbs & smaller cities who had been solid GOP voters were disgusted by Donald Trump's lunatic comments, denials, and lack of concern about COVID. The outlawing of water and snacks in voter lines has been the sensational attention-getter but the usurpation of local control has been way under emphasized.

I think they saw they made the rules too loose several years back so they swung it back some.

Even mumbling Joe's home state of Delaware has far stricter rules than here in Georgia.

All this talk about restricting voters here, and yet I read today where New York has much stricter voting laws. And, we all know which political party runs things in New York.

I too just read about the differences in voting laws between GA and leftwing radical NY, and NY is FAR stricter than GA could imagine, but again, if you do anything a democrat doesn't like you must be a racist, or bigot, or sexist or some other evil work just because they don't agree with you.

[Niteluvr]

No one, but no one, can distribute food or water within the 150 foot (or whatever that limit is) rule but can do so before that point and can set up a stand outside that limit. The intent was to prevent campaigning but that was not specified. But realistically, if it is hot and a long line and you told the person behind you that you going to get water and offer to bring them a bottle, would the person behind not let them back in?

When you move the pendulum, in this case, to make it a bit easier to vote and realize you moved it too far, you move it back. PLUS, since dropboxes were never codified in GA law they now have prescribed their use for the entire state.
