What in the hell are you talking about? Are you high?

If anyone is looking for a good book recommendation on this subject, I highly recommend “The Sum of Us” by Heather McGhee. Her most poignant example is how we used to have great public works programs like beautiful public pools, but when they had to be integrated, we filled them in rather than share them.

Do you have a specific question you'd like me to answer? Or just more vagaries stemming from a lack of understanding of elections administration?

Lol. I have a job, buddy. If I were to spend the time to refute all of the lies, misinformation, and baseless conjecture on this site, I'd need to quit my job.

Yeah, one of the problems is that the Ukrainian army is trained in Soviet and post-Soviet weapons and armor. If we dropped an M-1 Abrams in Kyiv, they wouldn't have the training to effectively use it. So there are two things being done to fix this: The US and other NATO countries, (especially the former Soviet countries) are sending their old Soviet gear to Ukraine right away. No training is needed, so the Ukrainians can deploy them in the field immediately. Ukrainians soldier are going out of country (primarily to the UK) for training on NATO equipment. This way, when they have enough soldiers who are properly trained, we have the option of giving them more modern NATO kit. The funny thing is, Russia is so depleted that they are currently deploying 40's era Soviet weapons. So even the old stuff Ukraine has is better.

Did you know that Florida is still counting their votes? So is Utah. So are many states. Because counting the ballots takes time. It appears to only be an "issue" when the races are close and bad faith actors can sew mistrust and baseless conspiracies. We never have all of the counting done on Election Day. It just doesn't happen. There have been some changes in the election dynamics such as increased polarization and the GOP abandoning mail-in ballots (which had previously been an important part of their campaigning). What is the incompetence that you are alleging? That every state doesn't count 100% of the ballots on Election Day despite that never happening in modern history? That there was an issue with some printers that affected fewer than 20,000 ballots and was easily cured? Is it that Trump turned the GOP away from mail-in ballots so unlike pre-2020, mail in ballots are now more partisan? All of these things are both normal and predictable. By the way, the AZ elections are run by Republicans.

Nah, I just require facts before jumping to conclusions. Unlike the people who are still claiming the AZ tabulation machines broke.

The tabulation machines in AZ did not break. EVERY state takes days to weeks to finish their count. I think even Florida is still counting. There are real issues with some of the election laws but by far the biggest issue is bad faith actors taking advantage of ignorant people.

How is that suspicious? A reporter, rushing to be the first instead of the most accurate, reported false information. How else should that be handled?

The AZ elections have run just about as expected. The only thing that invites conspiracy is that it appears that a lot of people are both ignorant of how elections work and willing to believe nefarious nonsense instead of actually looking into anything or learning.

I will put my marker down right here that the Democratic Party will release a policy platform for 2024.

I made no such statement or implication. A quick search turned up this breakdown of one of the earlier aid packages. And I'm serious, if this really does matter to you, you should reach out to your member of Congress. Their office may be able to provide more information or point you in the right direction.

Wrong.

Ok, then go look that up. And if you can't find it, call your member of Congress.

He’s clearly guilty. The question is whether or not the DoJ has the guts to do anything about it.

Here you go. Literally the first result when you Google “breakdown of US aid to Ukraine”

And when he was asked to return them by NARA, he was a private citizen. When he lied to NARA about having returned them all, he was a private citizen. The moment Joe Biden was sworn in, Trump lost any right to posses those documents and his possession of them was in violation of the law.

A small price to pay to destroy the Russian army, humiliate the Kremlin and reduce Russia to a backseat country without risking the lives of US soldiers. Probably one of the best returns on investment we can get.

What would you do if your employer sent you this letter?

Still going with the tabulation machine lie, huh?

Literally

They can both be disgusting (I didn’t vote for either) and still have different legal exposure. I personally think a private citizen stealing government documents is pretty bad.

I’m old enough to remember when he said he would release his tax returns. i guess that audit is still going on….

I believe that the earth is round, Trump won in 2016, birds are real, Biden won in 2020, we landed on the moon, George HW Bush was not a lizard person. I guess I just need actual evidence instead of misinformed conjecture.
