That’s not quite it either. It’s 60% of independent voters, so it also doesn’t include MAGA. It’s the swing voters, which happen to be the only voters who really matter.

But, fortunately for the GOP, they’re also easily swayed by the “both sides” narratives and can be disillusioned into staying home instead of voting. It’s why voter turnout is one of the biggest predictors in whether the Dems or the GOP will win an election. Independent voters have trended more leftward in recent elections because the GOP is fucking insane.

Real ID isn’t exclusive to US citizens. Non-citizen permanent residents and people here on temporary legal status such as work or student Visas, DACA, etc get Real ID cards as well.

If they come to kill me they’re gonna kill me. I can’t stop that. But that doesn’t mean I should make it easy for them.

If we reached the point where they came into my house I’d be fucked no matter what, so I’d take as many as I could with me. No use in making my death meaningless.

How do you prove citizenship? A lot of (most?) people don’t even have passports, which is the only federal ID that most people can get that establishes citizenship.

Torrent that shit.

I truly don’t understand that line of reasoning. At all.

Putting aside ideological stances on economic and social structures, how does someone reason that the country being broke makes socialism more achievable?

I like to say that peaceful protest is an opening offer, and it only means something if there’s a path to escalation when it’s rejected.

The RAM for 2026-2031 hasn’t been produced. It’s the production capacity that’s been bought out.

If the AI bubble bursts, the manufacturing can be reassigned.

States arresting all federal authorities for being in the state would be an insurrection, even if it was in response to a bunch of illegal shit from the feds.

That sounds nice, but Trump would (correctly) declare that an insurrection and it would trigger an actual civil war.

The Zune software could be run on XP. Running that in a VM on a more modern system shouldn’t bee too difficult.

Not that I would mind.

Now is the time.

Actually, a long time ago was the time, but later is not the goal.

I prefer beer that’s beer.

American here. Don’t come see us right now. Our place is a fucking mess and we really need to clean up, and it’s gonna be a long, long time before we’re ready for visitors.

The feds have all the evidence, as well as access to the murderer who they’ve surely already removed from the state.

When the butchers at a single Walmart successfully formed a tiny union, Walmart responded by firing every butcher in every store in the company and switching to pre-packaged meats only.

Going after a decorated vet and former astronaut for reminding servicemembers of their oaths.

Do they want Kelly to be President?

Maduro is bad, but that’s not what this is about. It’s about extrajudicial killings by the US military, and the kidnapping of a foreign head of state. Even if he’s evil and deserves it, that doesn’t give the US the right to do it. If the world comes together and decides it’s necessary, that’s one thing. Unilaterally invading, murdering civilians, and kidnapping a head of state and their spouse is not okay in any circumstance.

And the worst thing we can do is turn a blind eye to it just because Maduro is evil, because that tells the US that they can do whatever they want as long as they pretend to do it for noble reasons.

We did that with Iraq and that was one of the biggest clusterfucks in modern history, costing hundreds of thousands of lives, trillions of dollars, and destabilizing the entire region while fueling anti-American sentiment and Islamist extremism for decades.
