Mr. WEO Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Nice deflection. Simple question. The Republicans could send limousines to drive every Democratic voter to the polls for every election and they would still win in a landslide. These rules were (including allowing tribal ID) were set up to disenfranchise the over 18 portion of 5% of the population that is Native American?

Their strategy is national, and just because a particular state votes Republican doesn't mean they'll reduce their efforts, particularly when a state legislature is weak/incompetent and is looking for off-the-shelf bills that ALEC prepares for them.

JohnC Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I was joking but the number, found by a couple non-partisan investigations, found it to be extremely low. People should watch this. It's rather awesome. First you laugh and then you get furious with the absurdity. You can't shame shameless people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 What would be the point? Because SJWs never, ever, ever know when to quit. Once this is over, they'll be back tomorrow when they'll be complaining about how you can go into the men's room of a Buffalo nightclub and get a free spritz of Axe body spray, but the women still have to pay a quarter at the tampon dispenser. It shouldn't be long before they're suggesting that since TBD is getting rid of the Consumer message board, perhaps Beerball can turn it into a Safe Zone Message Board where they can gather with other SJWs and talk about things together in manner that is soothing and pleasing and doesn't trigger their microagressions. Get ready, Beerball. You know it's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#34fan Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) I always liked Kaepernick... For two seasons he made Nevada Wolfpack football abnormally exciting... I think he's a good guy, and I support him expressing himself in whatever way he wants, as long as he isn't hurting anyone directly... That said, The timing of this "protest" seems odd... If I'm honest, this seems like the EXACT sort of stunt someone under duress pulls in order deflect unrelated oncoming criticism... Except it may have backfired. Colin... When you heard you might be cut two weeks ago, you were disappointed with the team, NOT your country... Waiting to lose your job to a kid Hitler would have LOVED to star in Nazi propaganda films, probably sucked too... I bet you felt marginalized.... Perhaps a few disapproving looks from coaches made the word "oppression" seem appropos... Which it is, if cops shooting unarmed black men is really what's bothering you... I wonder though... Is there a chance your personal circumstance prompted empathy for a cause your actual lfestyle resides quite a ways from?... IF this sentiment is ligitimate, then Kudo's to you, sir... If not, then both it, and it's accompanying sour-puss need to LEAVE TOWN before people get wise to your social fraud... Either way, -Wrap this episode up this weekend, big guy!

boyst Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 thanks to NG for moving this where it belongs and allowing all of us who were given warnings not to discuss politics in TSW despite so many special snowflakes being allowed to continue. sadly, there are many we will miss. sadly, too many didn't get a warning and got ousted. sadly, some got nothing despite actually going against TOS and name calling ,etc. ridiculous that this post was in TSW so long. He threatened action if people don't stop calling each other names, etc. Nobody called each other names after that......He took action anyway. bs, he threatened action if people continued to post in this thread. why do you think so many people stopped posting? ryan, firechan, myself... and name calling did not stop after that. there is only one admin or mod on when this got moved. it was NG, clearly. who doesn't tolerate the same way others do.

keepthefaith Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) His source has serious credibility issues. I'm not suggesting any such thing. I'm suggesting that it's a stretch to believe that thousands of illegal immigrants (or other illegal voters) are taking the risk of registering to vote. Even if the risk of being caught is miniscule, do you think most illegal immigrants know that or, even if they do, are willing to run that risk for essentially no benefit? Highly unlikely and the "data" you've provided certainly does not prove otherwise. I would also note that it's furnished by an organization whose mission appears to be to whip up anti-immigrant fear and loathing. And I know this is heresy, but would it really be so bad if there are illegal immigrants in this country who are voting in our elections? They live here, have jobs here, pay rent and taxes here, many have families here. What would be the damage to the republic if they are allowed to vote (other than the fact that they would probably tend to vote for Democrats, of course)? And is preventing this horror important enough that we should enact laws that cause collateral damage to the voting rights of actual American citizens? We let 1 million immigrants into the country legally every year. There is simply too much room for abuse allowing non-citizens to vote. For example a President could use border patrol to process through immigrants that show up at our door or overstay visas and assist them in finding homes in particular parts of the country where the numbers could impact elections. The same president could make sure that the same immigrants are getting taxpayer paid benefits which might "buy" their votes. A President could use homeland security and the justice department in ways that would shield both the immigrants and these questionable activities as well. Of course no President would have the balls to do this and even if he/she did, their own party would surely stand up against it as an abuse of power. Now seriously I'm equally disturbed by any efforts that are obviously done to suppress the votes of citizens but we should also want integrity in the voting process. As for CK, He's going to take a lot of **** and get some support. Problem that I see is that he's made a very serious allegation (oppression of people based on race) and hasn't backed it up well. He's hitched his wagon to a narrative that isn't terribly credible and one that ignores the root causes of people not achieving the quality of life they want. Because of this I think he'll be dismissed by the majority. My guess is we won't hear much more from him on this.

It's Simon all over again. So, I have a plan of action in mind. And if I get banned?
