Democratic Paychecks for Perks/ Dems for Demolition of Democracy/ fake-cares 4-U म्हणाले...: "If there was a second Trump administration, how do anticipate that Democrats and leftists will sabotage federal efforts to remove illegal foreign nationals?

The public should expect violence incited by leftist extremists, Democrats and the media again. That is in addition to lawfare backed by hundreds of millions in funding.

From 2017–2020, the violent far-left and Antifa attacked, shot at, set on fire and besieged ICE offices. They tried shutting down airports over a nonexistent "Muslim ban." Local Democrat officials, judges, left-wing nonprofits, and some law enforcement agencies in left-wing jurisdictions doubled down on assisting illegal foreign nationals.

In 2018, I reported on how Antifa and the far-left created a hostage situation at the ICE office in Portland, Ore. Mayor @tedwheeler
gave his blessing for the violent occupation and told the local police to not respond to the 911 calls from within the building.

Never forget.

gadfly म्हणाले...: Trump kicks off his latest Pennsylvania rally in Latrobe by talking about Arnie Palmer's genitalia.

“Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women,” Trump said. “This is a guy that was all man.”

Then he went even further.

“When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, ‘Oh my God. That’s unbelievable,’” Trump said with a laugh. “I had to say. We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man.”

Google finds no pics of Trump and Arnold playing golf, or God help us, showering together. Perhaps Trump just believes that almost everyone except Marco Rubio has larger hands than he does. Google didn't have up-close pictures of Arnie's groin area so we cannot even make a comparison to Hunter Biden's large bulge either.; २०/१०/२४, १२:४२ AM

@redsteeze
It's not even about Iranian sympathizers. A literal Iranian spy ring infiltrated Tony Blinken's office.

This was barely covered by every single major institutional media outlet in this country. When Donald Trump insults Jim Acosta that's not enemy of the people shit.

When the American media actively works to cover up a hostile foreign espionage operation in a democratic administration because they agree with their politics, that is actual enemy of the people shit.

We don’t yet know how this info was leaked or who did it. But what we do know is that there are Iran sympathizers inside the Biden-Harris Admin who would like nothing more than to stymie Israeli efforts to strike the Iranian regime. x.com/jerrydunleavy/…

They know this is a lie. They know Trump paused the event for a person with a medical emergency. But they’ll repeat it for the talking point because they know their voters are that dumb all while bemoaning “misinformation”

President Obama: Have you seen Trump lately? He held a town hall where he stopped taking questions and just swayed to Ave Maria and YMCA for half an hour. You would be worried if your grandpa was acting like this. We don’t need to see what an older, crazier Donald Trump looks…

wendybar म्हणाले...: Why do Progressive women get confused about what the word "joy" means?? When I think of Chelsea Handler, the last thing I think of is how much joy she is spreading around. It seems they spend most of their time drunk.

“I want to spread joy and positivity and I want women to feel valued,” Handler continued.

tim in vermont म्हणाले...: I have been reading Stephen King's "On Writing" which was copyrighted in 2000. It's kind of good, even if it is, well, Stephen King. You know that he wrote two novels that were pretty prescient, even if he took them way too far. The Stand, which had to do with a man made virus sweeping the world, and The Dead Zone, in which an assassin is "the hero" since he imagines he has, well in the book he really does have, but he imagines that he has an ability to see the future, and that this Presidential candidate is going to cause WWIII, so in real life we have a lone nut job trying to kill Trump, but the reason he tried to kill Trump wasn't to "prevent WWIII" as the nut job imagined, but the assassin was acting as a stooge to stop Trump from preventing WWIII.

When you thinking about it, if that had been the original story, it would have been a lot more interesting than the simplistic "I am going to go back in time to kill Hitler" type fantasy.; २०/१०/२४, ६:३४ AM
Inga म्हणाले...: Elon Musk Veers Into Clearly Illegal Vote Buying, Offering $1 Million Per Day Lottery Prize Only to Registered Voters

“Though maybe some of the other things Musk was doing were of murky legality, this one is clearly illegal. See 52 U.S.C. 10307(c): “Whoever knowingly or willfully gives false information as to his name, address or period of residence in the voting district for the purpose of establishing his eligibility to register or vote, or conspires with another individual for the purpose of encouraging his false registration to vote or illegal voting, or pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both…”

See also the DOJ Election Crimes Manual at 44: “The bribe may be anything having monetary value, including cash, liquor, lottery chances, and welfare benefits such as food stamps. Garcia, 719 F.2d at 102. However, offering free rides to the polls or providing employees paid leave while they vote are not prohibited. United States v. Lewin, 467 F.2d 1132, 1136 (7th Cir.
1972). Such things are given to make it easier for people to vote, not to induce them to do so. This distinction is important. For an offer or a payment to violate Section 10307(c), it must have been intended to induce or reward the voter for engaging in one or more acts necessary to cast a ballot.… Moreover, payments made for some purpose other than to induce
or reward voting activity, such as remuneration for campaign work, do not violate this statute. See United States v. Canales 744 F.2d 413, 423 (5th Cir. 1984) (upholding conviction because jury justified in inferring that payments were for voting, not campaign work). Similarly, Section 10307(c) does not apply to payments made to signature-gatherers for voter registrations such individuals may obtain. However, such payments become actionable under Section 10307(c) if they are shared with the person being registered.”

I’d like to hear if there’s anyone who thinks this is not a clear case of a violation.

UPDATE: Musk said at his rally that one had to be a petition signer to be eligible for the $1 million prize. (“So– we really want to try to get as many people as possible to sign this petition. So. I have a surprise for you [crowd cheers] which is that we’re going to be awarding a million dollars, randomly, to people who have signed the signed the petition every day from now until the election.”) I’ve also learned that to get the $100 bounty one also must be a petition signer. And who can sign the petitions? Only registered voters in swing states, which is what makes it illegal.; २०/१०/२४, ६:३८ AM

Leland म्हणाले...: Wendy, I'm not sure I understand your question. It seems obvious that gadfly now has a crush on Arnold Palmer. After all, gadfly just admitted to scouring the internet just to look at crotch shots of Arnie. Not just Trump and Palmer, apparently gadfly is well versed with Hunter Biden's crotch, so gadfly uses it as a measuring tool to compare other men's crotch. I had no idea gadfly was so excited about looking at men's crotches that he spent time on the internet looking for pictures.; २०/१०/२४, ७:१४ AM
Breezy म्हणाले...: “Whoever knowingly or willfully gives false information as to his name, address or period of residence in the voting district for the purpose of establishing his eligibility to register or vote,”

You’re not concerned at all about this portion of the law being violated in all states?; २०/१०/२४, ८:१० AM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: You know, I've thought, in the past as I've bought one of those Powerball/Megamillions tickets with a $500M+ payout, that it would be a hoot to run and say "If I win, I'll mail everyone $10000" Of course, the Ingas of the world will say "Illegal Vote-Buying" -- but if you say "If I win, I'll vote to zero out your college loans", well, that's a-ok.; २०/१०/२४, ८:५६ AM
Leland म्हणाले...: "I’d like to hear if there’s anyone who thinks this is not a clear case of a violation."

Here.

If only registered people can sign the petition, then how is Musk violating the law about "registering" people to vote? Are you insinuating that "signing a petition pledging to vote" the same as "casting a ballot"? How is that step of signing a petition an act necessary to casting a ballot?

You cite "United States v. Canales 744 F.2d 413", which is where defendants gave payment after a vote was cast. Explain your reasoning that the facts in the Canales case match up with the facts you presented here about Musk's actions. I'm unclear on how they are remotely similar.; २०/१०/२४, ९:११ AM

I Shouldn’t Have Left the White House म्हणाले...: Trump’s Justice Department provided taxpayer funded “gender-affirming care” for inmates when Trump was President: “Trump appointees at the Bureau of Prisons, a division of the Justice Department, provided an array of gender-affirming treatments, including hormone therapy, for a small group of inmates who requested it during Mr. Trump’s four years in office.”
