It's actually over a thousand proven cases of voter fraud.
Repeating an argument that was just debunked is a sign of cult thinking. Go look at your own link - it's replete with duplicate votes, petition fraud, felons - NOT. PREVENTED. BY. VOTER. ID.
and, in the Constitution, it is reserved for citizens only
Undocumented immigrants aren't going to be voting because they don't want to bring attention from the state. Green card holders are going to have regular drivers licenses, so your precious voter ID laws would do jack and shit to stop them from voting, and Jack left town.
Voter ID is a solution in search of a problem - like I said the first time. The real purpose is to prevent "undesirables" from voting - just be honest about it.
Then I assume you are 100% in support of showing proof of identification when voting as well?
Fuck that noise.
1) In-person vote fraud is on the order of a few dozen votes out of billions cast. Voter ID is a solution in search of a problem.
2) The cases voter ID proponents point to invariably wouldn't have been prevented with ID's. Convicted felon? Voted in person and by mail? Have residences in more than one district or even state and voted in each? Not prevented by ID!
3) Voting is a right. You do not have to show ID to enjoy your rights. You don't have to show ID to enter a church. You don't have to show ID to be entitled to a lawyer. And skip complaining about the 2nd Amendment when it uses the words well regulated and not individual ownership.
Voter ID is about suppressing votes from people who tend not to be conservative. Nothing more, nothing less.
Just gave it to you. Heard of the persecution of Don Siegleman? If the DOJ can throw him in prison for an actual nothingburger, it could easily nail Trump for his Saudi deals. But the Mueller witch hunt isn't about finding corruption, it's about the Deep State telling Trump who's boss.
You really that dumb or do you actually believe that Pence would be better than Trump?
Pence is less likely to start WWIII. Why democrats thought it would be a great idea to red bait a thin skinned blowhard, attacking him every time he announces a deescalation as a Putin puppet...they're making the Birthers look like nobel prize winners at this point. Trump could have missiles in the air to Moscow and those idiots would still find a way to claim that's what a Putin Puppet would do. Even as nuclear winter is coming.
I really wouldn't remind liberals about McCarthy if I was you.
Today's "liberals" would make the Reagan Democrats look like hippies. They're screaming "Russia Russia Russia" 24/7, blaming them for every bump in the night, going so far as to red bait right-wing Fox News hosts,and engage in a prosecutorial witch hunt with zero basis for an investigation, so yeah, they've gone full McCarthy.
In reference to Ms. Daniels, you also seem to be confusing "democrats" with "the media".
Democratic voters or democratic politicians? Constant propaganda from the latter has snowed much of the former. Russian interference is just accepted as fact, like Saddam's WMD's.
Proof is a problem, in that there is none. There is a lot of hearsay, but no proof. Can't impeach without proof.
There's the dozens of businesses he opened in Saudi Arabia while running for president - and then gave them billions in weapons once he was president. Democrats would rather talk about Stormy Daniels while going full McCarthyite, though.
Trump is a political outsider. He spends most of his time fighting his own congress. Pence will not have that problem. He is a political animal, and knows how to get things done. He has the contacts and clout to pull it off. Plus he is thinks he is on a mission from god to put gays back in the closet and women back in the kitchen. He will set our country back 30 years.
Is this performance art, or is your head really so far up Trump that he can skip his annual prostate exam, because he can rely on an eyewitness account?
They bust their ass in the "gig economy" for little pay and no benefits and yet you consider them "entitled" because they prefer their cup of coffee differently then yours. Guess what, you are the entitled generations
But who's fault is that? How many of these degree's are for markets that is already saturated? They don't find jobs in these areas because they are none. But what there is, is plenty of jobs in blue collar areas. The country needs plumbers, and welders, there are plenty of jobs there. But so many millennials think these jobs are beneath them.
First, millennials are sneered at if they want a living wage without having a degree. Have to better yourselves to be employed, doncha know.
Next, millennials are sneered at for not being clairvoyant to pick the exact degree that will be in demand when they graduate (You Are Here).
Finally, don't forget to sneer at those millennials for "taking on student loans they couldn't afford".
I think you need to examine this a little more carefully. The devil's in the details and people who advocate economic controls for social policies tend not to think much further than their pre-desired outcome and don't consider all of potential side effects.
Economic controls from a corrupt AF corporation vs controls from citizens is indeed a no-brainer, just not in the direction you may have been led to by years of capitalist indoctrination.
You can't make drivers work for $0
Good thing no one is proposing that.
Third, to what extend to pre-planned major events even causing large spikes? If I'm a driver, I already know that when a game lets out that more people will need a ride, so I'm more likely to want to work when I know there's more demand.
As to Rei's point, it was about people choosing to drink and drive rather than pay a higher fare to get home. Every Uber driver in the city could be parked outside a stadium when a game or concert is ending, and it wouldn't factor into that pricing decision.
We have multiple instances of minimum wage laws correlating with putting low-skill workers out of work.
If by "many" you mean "not one", then yes. Minimum wage increases are a job booster because it gives low wage workers more money to spend, which creates demand. As demand is what creates jobs (not the rich, not capitalism, not tax cuts) you see more employment, not less. Your uniquely American "losses" come from the fact that people don't need to have three jobs as a wage slave to keep a roof over their heads.
Very clever. Except the article doesn't say anything about trying to reduce the number of Uber drivers or traffic congestion, but limiting the "surge pricing" from the unlicensed taxi company.
Black Panther, a film almost entirely made up of diversity hires where an SJW forces a bunch of conservatives to adopt his agenda and culminates in the creation of a reverse-racist outreach centre targeting poor black kids.
Is this performance art, or are you actually so far out there you can see Pluto from your house?
Badly written? Lucas is a poor director and he can't write dialog but his stories are fantastic
Ewoks routing "an entire legion" of the best Imperial troops wasn't fantastic storytelling. Lucas is good at coming up with ideas and storyboards - but then those should be passed onto a competent writer and director to use or discard. For example, if he let his buddy Spielberg handle Ep VI, he might have said "you know George, I'm gonna go with your first idea of having freed Wookie slaves fight the imperials on Endor, mmmkay?"
Fact is, Rian wasn't tried and tested, his most famous previous credit was to be a co-director on a single episode of Breaking Bad. They tried someone new, he was shit at the job, wasn't ready for something as big as Star Wars, and he failed, move on, never use him again, lesson learnt.
Sounds like Fox when they handed the Fantastic Four reboot to a newbie with a couple of indie credits under his belt. That bomb plus TLJ may have discouraged studios from handing huge franchise movies to directors who only had experience with low budget, low special effects films - until Ryan Coogler had to come in and fuck all that up with Black Panther. Now studios will go on, trusting $300 million movies to directors with a couple of movies and TV credits to their name - thanks Ryan!
Ehrenreich was no Harrison Ford. In fact, the studio had to hire an acting coach for him after he landed the role, which should tell you two things: first, the studio realized he was a lousy actor; and second, he wasn't hired for his acting ability.
Depends, was the coach because the guy can't act, or to try and get the best portrayal for this particular character?
The cops see you talking on your phone. Then, they ask you to unlock it. You say "Sure!" and suddenly the phone wipes. Congratulations on your charge for obstruction of justice.
If you open your big mouth, you're screwed anyway. On the other hand, if you casually lock the phone and switch it to your left hand to wipe with your other thumb for the erase and then say "I do not consent to any searches" and "I will only speak to my lawyer", the cops will have a much harder time proving anything.
Did he shoot down Russian jets? No. And did you look at your own link:
The skirmish occurred on Feb. 7, 2018 when forces aligned with Syria's dictator Bashar Al Assad, backed by Russian mercenaries from a shadowy company called Wagner
Mercenaries. Not Russian military - huge difference. Equivalent would be the Russian's bombing Black Water (or whatever the hell they're calling themselves these days) mercs as they're busy chumming it up with their head-chopping friends in ISIS as the moderate jihadists try to overthrow Assad.
but your question implied that nobody could be without fb
Straw man.
I've never had a fb account, never will.
That's nice. They're tracking you anyway, via all those obliquitous "like" and "share" buttons, and scanning your face in every third party picture that's been uploaded to their servers.
It is simply too costly and too risky. None of the renewable alternatives cost $20 billion and a couple of decades to construct, none have the security costs, and none have the long term waste disposal problems.
It's not hippies that killed nuclear power. It's cost effectiveness.
What was the point of that stream of hatorade? Politicians can choose people who are competent at a profession to administer a program related to said profession - they don't have to select a political hack, like, say, Betsy DeVos to run the DoE.
What I find perennially amusing is how, every time there's talk about the government financially supporting nuclear power, the people who previously supported subsidies & tax breaks for 'green energy' suddenly become free market capitalists. Just watch, happens every time.
Not as amusing as the fact that not a single nuclear powerplant would have ever been constructed without massive bankrolling from taxpayers. Not as amusing as nuke fans that pretend future generations wont hate them for saddling them with a massive waste problem for centuries to come.
The new reactors coming out address all the safety concerns
No, they don't. No design exists that eliminates the risk of leaks or meltdowns, or uses all the fuel so you don't have to store the waste for hundreds to thousands of years. Nuclear power simply isn't justifiable given its cost and the alternatives available.
It's not missing tech. It's missing liability laws. Make the CEO and stockholders personally liable for all the damages from a meltdown, and safety will be the number one priority before the ink on the new law is dry
That's not going to have much of an effect, if only because capitalism inherently rewards penny pinching in the short term, and because governments almost always take the lowest bid for a project. And even if execs are put in the poor house, they still got to live like princes in the meantime, put all their kids through ivy league schools and get them set up with cushy jobs which they can use to support their now-bankrupt parents.
If you want a deterrence, make the board live on plant grounds and stay there through any plant malfunctions or meltdowns.

It's also the most costly by far while posing a giant safety hazard, now and far into the future.
