I kind of wish I had done that to some extent. I didn't have money to go out to restaurants/bars with friends and I probably could have had a lot more fun if I had just taken out an extra few grand each semester. But I was also young and very naive and probably could have ended up in a very bad financial situation if I went too far with it so maybe it was for the best!

Kevin McCallister > Kevin McCarthy

It's probably a good thing it was announced afterwards because they would have said see you can't give any power to Republicans because they will take away your freedom! Someone has to be the adult in the room

As someone with student loans, I'm glad this is being blocked. We knew what we were doing when we took out loans and the interest rates are stupid low. I had friends that took out way more than they needed and used the money to go on Spring break, buy motorcycles, live it up. They would have been bailed out too? They knew what they were doing and they also knew they had 20 years to pay it back with very little interest so it was a great deal. Biden was being pressured by Pocahontas and Chucky and his stance was that he could not legally forgive loans. This came up many times during the 2020 debates and he said no he was not going to cancel student debt. So what changed? This was always just a cheap trick to get votes similar to a kid running for class president on the platform that he would make homework illegal and everyone gets free snacks at lunch. You get the dummies to vote for you and then say oh sorry they won't let me do it, not my fault! If you fell for it then you got played

Nothing religious about killing someone. I'm guessing you don't have kids? Go to an ultrasound and see that living human or babysit a newborn and see how helpless they are, I think it will change your perspective. Abortion should not be a form of birth control.

I can understand that counter argument. Missed opportunity I suppose but either way the people of Pennsylvania lose

Lol at Pennsylvania. Dems basically said we are shutting down your energy industry and they are like sounds great we didn't want to have jobs anyways! Let's vote for the guy with possible brain damage (not making fun of his impairment but rather pointing out that healthwise he is unfit for office)

Good luck with that. I'm sure the $ has been spent. I saw a report that Tom Brady was well invested in FTX

I'm not saying the other side is necessarily better, I'm saying there needs to be a rebalance. The group in power went too far one way and I think a lot of people realize that but tribalism is a real thing and they will never vote for the other side no matter what. It's not about voting for the other side, it's about showing the side in power that they screwed up. If things keep going this way then it will certainly carve out a space for a 3rd party. I've spoken to many people that said the Left went crazy but they would never vote for Trump. So where does that leave us as a country?

You agree there is fraud. We have established that. So I suppose your argument is there is not a lot of fraud, enough to sway an election. I think that is hard to determine and the only fair way to know for sure is make people show ID and vote in person. In the future there will surely be retinol scans or fingerprints but that would be giving a lot of power to the government and I'm not in a hurry to get there. I think showing ID is a good compromise for now I'm not an R and have voted D in many elections prior to 2020. I'm about as middle of the road as it gets. I don't care what people do as long as it doesn't impact me. The D's went too far left and it's making me look like an R basically. The balance has shifted too much

I'll gladly respond to those talking points: 1. Good guys with guns is a deterrent to bad guys with guns. Bad guys will always have guns so why can't good guys protect themselves? 2. If they want to be armed then sure. If they are responsible ccw holders outside of school then why can't they in school? 3. Coal, oil, gas is not the future but it's the present and until technology reaches a point you don't need them then why would you limit your options 4. Climate change may not be a hoax but there is not enough evidence to prove it's an immediate threat either 5. Abortion is murder. If you go to an ultrasound and you see a baby in there and you kill it then that's murder no matter how inconvenient that is for you 6. Democrat policy allows for increase in that bad behavior, yes 7. There is a growing contingency that support communism/socialism and try and hide it by calling it democratic socialism 8. Democrats love identity politics. I was raised that all people are humans and skin color does not matter 9. Democrats love spending and printing money for socialist agendas which leads to inflation 10. I don't know the numbers on Democrats that believe in God or not but it seems a large number or atheist

You have seen that happen? That would be wild. Because I've actually seen voter fraud by an otherwise good person who has probably never purposely broken the law in their life. They really didn't know how serious it was and didn't think it was a big deal at all. Those people didn't want to vote and he sent in for a mail in ballot for them. He thought he was going a good thing

I guess I'm the only person to witness it then. Lucky me. I should have played the Powerball

I don't get it. Are you saying I didn't watch someone fill out 4 ballots by themselves because I assure you that I did. I'm guessing I'm at least 1 of thousands if not millions to witness that. You want me to go testify to that and put a friend in jail over 4 votes? I'm just saying it happens. If you want to argue it's not widespread or doesn't make a difference then ok but I've seen numerous people post that it doesn't exist at all and I assure you it does and by good law abiding citizens who don't think it's a big deal. So just imagine what the bad guys are up to if that's the case

So you agree that voting fraud does exist ✔️

Make it easier for people to cheat you mean?

You will have to go back and read but I've seen voter fraud, I know it exists. There needs to be common sense laws in place federally so that there is no fraud and also people have access to vote so no shady stuff on either side.

Because there's fraud? I'm not saying fug em I'm saying there would be exceptions that would take a lot of hoops to jump through (doctors notice, supporting documents)but it would still be possible in that ultra rare 0.1% of the population case

I was replying to someone saying there should be common sense voting laws at the federal level and it shouldn't be up to the states to do shady things like you are suggesting. So we would agree on that. None, nobody asked You are going for the 0.1% of the population that truly can't get out of bed with your argument. Surely there would need to be exceptions then but we are talking about such a small segment of the population. That's usually the case when you say things like you don't agree with abortions and then someone says "well what if the person was raped?" Ok that's an exception but such a small number that it shouldn't stop you from passing common sense laws

They have handicap buses and prime parking spots for people with disabilities

I've seen voter fraud with my own eyes. So then the argument is if there is enough to sway an election. The election in Arizona was a difference of 62 votes I believe. You don't think out of thousands of people there aren't 62 people that filled out mail in ballots for other people? ANY voter fraud can sway an election so why not close that loophole?

Why are people so scared of having to vote in person? There is early voting for a week before the election, it's not just 1 night. You have to show ID to buy a beer so you don't think you should show ID to vote?

You just said above there is almost no vote fraud. So you are admitting there is voter fraud and then the argument is if there is enough to make a difference. I know for a fact there is voter fraud because I've witnessed someone filling out mail in ballots for other people. And if that happens in front of me by good law abiding citizens then it happens elsewhere.

No simply stating that people cheat when given the opportunity so why not close those loopholes?

How so? There was nothing in the original constitution about voting. 15th amendment says you can't deny based on race or skin color. 19th says you can't deny based on sex. Where is the part that says you have to allow mail in voting? Fyi I know multiple people who ballot harvest because they know their family members don't care to vote so they do it for them.
