You well-reasoned, calm, documented comment is greatly appreciated. Thank you for maintaining a non-partisan discourse and setting an example for others to follow.
He'll be of the party of "you can't prove it!" and "even though they need ID for several other aspects of modern life, it is too much of a burden to require one for voting".
To be fair, every once in a while they'll catch a dummy on the other side illegally voting too.
I wish we could trust our civil servants not to be political hacks and weaponize their positions of trust to further their personal political views. Authenticating doesn't have to mean you're DOXing yourself to the planet. What you post wouldn't have to be attributed to you for the masses, it could be a temporary identifier that only a secured site would be able to reference to you. Law enforcement could then get a warrant if your daily/hourly or whatever ID had been found to be naughty enough to investigate. However, we've recently seen that the bar for such a request can be pretty low if the activities of the person being unveiled don't meet the prevailing views of the individuals working in the government. That is a bit of a crisis.
That episode of the Orville was one of the most useful things to show up on television, ever. I wish it had gotten some press. Unfortunately, being able to whip people into a frenzy on social media is too valuable a tool. It follows that we are a Republic for many of the same reasons. Democracy is important, but mechanisms do need to be in place to temper moments of mob hysteria.
I have an O365 subscription to ensure compatibility. The rest of my house uses LibreOffice. It's nicer to use for most things, runs a lot faster and is a lot more stable, and of course, it's free! Haven't purchased anything from Adobe in a decade, it's garbage and in a subscription model has no value.
The upper management types also have a lot more sociopaths, why don't we figure out a way to teach that in the universities as well?!? I have a better idea, lets develop personable sociopathic androids that can replace upper management. At least they'll be consistent. Think of the cost savings!!!
Here a few words they've redefined in the Newspeak liberal dictionary:
Hate = anything libs don't agree with that is even remotely related to race or religion.
Diversity = not white.
Black = even a drop of African blood -- this definition used to be racist, but now its okay since they're using it.
Fascism = Right - even though this word was created for the facisto supporters in WWII Italy and applies to the Nazi (National Socialist) party of WWII Germany.
Gender = Fluid and based on feeling rather than biology.
Race = not fluid and everyone is a victim except whitey, they never can be
History = something to erase if it doesn't fit today's PC narrative. Interesting that ISIS feels the same way as they destroy ancient monuments
Science = Any data that supports the notion that the USA is bad or that humanity should be reduced by any means necessary to minimize our impact on the planet.
The list is virtually endless. The Obama years were simply awful for a lot of our citizens. If you didn't have concerns about this, you've been indoctrinated rather than educated and should sue your "university" immediately for some of that student loan money back.
Next they'll tell us that George Soros invented the Internet. Al Gore will be relieved to pass the torch. The origins of the Internet have nothing to do with Globalism whatsoever, aside from allowing the sickness to spread a little faster.
Their products are devolving to the point of creating barriers to entry to themselves, yet their monopolistic power is so great that they still don't lose market share. I own licenses to office 365 and still use OpenOffice as my default because it doesn't crash nearly as often. Server 2016 - especially with Exchange is just hideous to manage compared to previous versions. It's bad. Yet, there still isn't a viable alternative.
That's nice, but like upstate NY, should the rural areas of these two states always be completely dis-enfranchised?!? A winner-takes all approach to electoral vote allocation is anti-democratic. One would think that the Democrats would care for a concept that is part of their name. No, they want 10-15 uber large cities to dictate everything for the entire nation. Not very nice at all - and certainly not tenable.
You forgot to mention that they will drop "statistical anomalies" to further massage the data to meet the whims of the administration in power. I imagine successful grant recipients are currently massaging it on the other end to meet this admin's needs to keep that grant money flowing.
The indoctrination camps that people call universities nowadays are far less credible than experienced NASA scientists that have created that site to have a channel outside of the echo chamber so a real discussion about observations can occur instead of the horrors we called science during the Obama administration (gotta keep that grant money flowing). Personally, I'm not a climate change denier but I hate the current group think approach to how it is being analyzed.
You're speaking English instead of German, Arabic or Chinese, so something is working. Kudos for going back through multiple administrations for your examples instead of cherry picking MSM fad topics of the moment.
Hmm, well which country would have endured the most economic damage and would have born the most financial burden in supporting this "deal". Meanwhile countries like China and India would have feigned support and compliance. Net pollution is a bogus metric, compare pollution/GDP and the story is VERY different.
LMAO! Seriously? "CNN just reports the news" I haven't seen a US based news channel report the news or perform anything resembling journalism in quite a while. CNN is one of the worst, multiple recordings of their executives talking about their biased strategies have been released, you might know that if you watched multiple channels. BBC and Al Jazeera are still pretty good. Al Jazeera gets understandably biased when middle-east issues are discussed.
How are they signing up for benefits then? Those aren't handed out to people without ID?!? The argument that some people are too poor to have ID is a false narrative. If true in 0.00001% of cases, then I'd be happy to personally hand the occasional person 10-20 bucks to pay for an ID.
Well even if fraud is "rare" it is happening. Remember the sill lady that said on national television that she voted for Obama six times because she got an ObamaPhone?!? These apathetic elections we've seen the last 3-4 cycles could easily be decided by a 1-2 percent tampering or busing in of fraudulent voters, etc. We need to shore up the integrity of our election process on all sides. Voter ID, registration analysis, "cyber" -- and all the disinformation campaigns that have recently erupted. There should be a penalty for deliberately spreading lies. What kind of @sshat fabricates a story and spreads it as truth. They're going way beyond misinterpreting facts nowadays.
Back to the article, if they are really deregistering people based on an imperfect algorithm without sufficient notification to allow the affected people to easily correct the situation before election time, that this is certainly unconstitutional. If true, the lawsuit will be successful.
Nazi's, the only thing more disgusting that an ISIS terrorist cutting off a kids head. Imagine the horror of the meth lab trailer parks their recruits must come from.
Streamline treatment for the less-pc sins like being fat and smoking. Why is the nanny-state unrealistic utopia of banning things always the go-to solution for progressives?!?
Nice collection of pros. The biggest con was casting Ryan Gosling for this. His movies are almost always better in fast forward x2. Any scene with him in it drags on more than it should. He had some weird Thailand movie that was especially improved in every manner in fast forward - even the music improved. Unfortunately it turns the moving into a 1 hour short.
We already have one of the highest corporate rates in the world. Any tax increase will be borne by the middle-class. Upper class always has a way out or they'll switch countries to avoid paying their fair share. The average citizen needs to plan on getting prepared to take care of themselves - colleges don't seem to focus on that and probably should. Blaming everything on "the man" and marching in ANTIFA get-togethers probably doesn't pay that well.

I was not happy when Jar Jar was presented. Having a large part of the movie taking place on a My Little Pony planet would have been less annoying.
Can you refute a single point that he raised? All I see you doing is name calling because you don't "feel" the way he does.

Sounds like old data. Any citations in the last 2-3 years of any repute?
Nice collection of pros. The biggest con was casting Ryan Gosling for this. His movies are almost always better in fast forward x2. Any scene with him in it drags on more than it should. He had some weird Thailand movie that was especially improved in every manner in fast forward - even the music improved. Unfortunately it turns the moving into a 1 hour short.
