Don't fail to vote

Everything written by this member is a fact.
There is no logical reason not to go out and try your hardest to get Republicans who support President Trump into office. He has been working hard to reverse the unquestioned downslide we gad experienced tge previous 8 years, and he is succeeding. Maintaining a Republican majority in Congress is paramount.
No need to discuss. Any contrary opinion is anti-American and to vote Democrat is akin to being traitorous.

BTW you prolly flunked civics class, explains a lot lol
Republicans are leading Dems in the early ballot race. Old people vote. Young people protest.
I'll be at the ballots. Win or lose, I feel I am obligated to vote as some of my ancestors (people of color and wome) were not allowed to. It makes me feel good to do what people worked so hard to allow me to be able to do so.
Wife and I voted last week and we consider this election the most important midterms of our lifetime.
Trump’s sending 1500 troops to the border at a cost of $200M in a repulsive pre-election publicity stunt to show he’s tough on helpless, poor, bedraggled brown people coming to seek asylum. And people fall for that shit; it’s amazing how gullible voters can be. You know, like the @OP.
Dems will probably flip the house – but if they don’t expect more fear mongering, the end of the Meuller investigation, the end to protection of pre-existing conditions, probably cuts to entitlements because of the deficit and debt, and overall acceptance of white nationalism.
Thank u
I know people who say Trump has been an awful President and is incompetent. Then I know others who think he’s been good.....some would even say great
*shrugs shoulders*
Thank u
Vote early and often ;)
Typical ploy of the left. They also encourage non-citizens to flood the ballot boxes. No wonder they oppose voter ID laws.

Thank u
You changed the subject, @Aurum. I said that sending the US Military to the border because unarmed and desperate asylum seekers are coming in the next few months is a grotesque and expensive ($200M) pre-election publicity stunt. That’s no exaggeration. The caravan amounts to 0.0000002% of our population. Some of the group are women and children and they wont even be her for another month or two. Don’t you understand the stupidity of considering this a military threat?
The irony is that the only real recent violence consists of (1) a deranged (white) Trump fanatic, living in a white van, who sent pipe bombs to a dozen Democrats and (2) a deranged (white) anti-Semite who slaughtered 11 innocent people in a synagogue.
Different topic, but yes we need intelligent immigration reform. But we need more immigrants, not less, to offset the Japanese style demographic shift we’re experiencing. We need more immigrants in our labor force.

Just curious @Dougster, do you have any human contact outside of trolling this forum for 14 years? Do you have a GF? Have you ever had a GF? Do you have any real flesh-and-blood friends? If trolling helps your emotional state, then fine. Just don't slit your wrists or hang yourself.
Do you know what constitutes a valid asylum claim? They may be claiming asylum, but they are only seeking better economic opportunities. Plain and simple.

He's confusing apples with basketballs.
I don't get the whole logic, of calling a person who disagrees with you, unpatriotic, this country was founded by people with diverse opinions, and they wrote a constitution that allows all ideas to have equal weight in our national debate. The elected officials from both parties, are enriching themselves with our money, essentially stealing from all of us, yet you partisans keep on cheering them on.
You should be able to retire with the kinds of benefits, they give themselves, why are they entitled to, what they refuse to provide for everyone else.
@flagooner As far as the Haitian interdiction is concerned, the U.S. interdiction was aimed at stopping refugees from drowning at sea, we have no need for the army to line up at the border, there are plenty of legal police activities that will take place, Mr. Trump is just trying to push the envelope here, The Posse Comitatus Act , expressly prohibits the use of the armed forces to enforce laws within the borders, un less there is a state of emergency, this ragtag caravan does not constitute a state of emergency, by any realistic measure.
Voting only makes a difference on local matters but thats where no one votes
@IME- Read my last post. I pointed out the irony of two home-grown white nationalists committing acts of terror at the very same Trump is out ranting about the danger of immigrants, just fucking non-stop. Hard to prove that Trump is directly responsible -- but this constant barrage of hate-speech from Trump does influence people who are unstable to begin with. 60% increase in anti-Semitic acts over the last 2 years.
BTW @IME, I didn't start the thread and the initial post is about as retarded, partisan, and content-free as you can get.
I’m not disagreeing with you on all issues. But carte blanc blaming Trump for everthing is not productive. He reflects a large portion of the country that voted for and support him. The discourse in the country started long before Trump.
Do you believe in open boarders? And how would you handle?
We can debate the official word vs. reality when it comes to the Haitian crisis all day long.
What I was referring to was the legitimacy of asylum claims by both sets of migrants. The Haitians had more potential legitimacy as it was initiated by a governmental coup. And yet we repatriated all of them without nearly this media interest or public uproar. In reality, for both groups, the overwhelming motivator is economic and not persecution.
I agree that mobilizing the troops is completely poloitical in order to sway public opinion in advance of the election.

Well, gee, I think that was the main point I brought to the thread. Must be a radical left-wing viewpoint.
I honestly wanted to stay out of this discussion but that's not true. Several democrats want to ignore our immigration laws and allow free entry to anyone that desires entry, no questions asked.
Mobilizing troops before the election is politically motivating . But a well funded march to the boarder is also politically motivated.
Agreed, they see it as an overwhelming number of potential votes that will ensure their power long into the future.
My main choice was Alfred E. Neuman!
I vote with my wallet!!
yeah thats my fault

i better get my manager on dis shit. im sick of sneaking my flask into restaurants.
Adopt sensible migrant worker visa programs in industries where labor is in short supply (agriculture definitely, don't know enough about other industries to comment) in the hope of disincentiving illegal crossings and overstays.

Where is the edit button when you need it? LOL

Trust me.
“Just remember: It wasn’t the Republicans, it was the Democrats that took you into the vet to get fixed and there is freedom on the other side,” Cruz cracked as his supporters laughed.
Dog replied with a burn that might’ve left a scar.
“I support spaying and neutering, just like Trump did to you,” the puppet shot back.

On the plus side there are 3 libertarian candidates on the ballot today. :D
Does early voting work? Or is it treated like a provisional ballot or absenteee ballot? Maybe I don't understand these things, but I was always (mistakenly??) under the impression that voting provisionally or absentee, that that vote is only tallied if the race is close, otherwise they ignore them. Is that not the case? I'd be afraid to vote early out of the same concern. This is why the Missus and I are going to the polls in about an hour from now.
LOL, smashing woodstock’s like button.
