    Whose reformers, and who's the reformed? The Russian revolution of 1918 bring anything to mind, maybe? That kind of reforming? Howzabout Pol Pot style reforming in that peaceful communist paradise of his? Was that mad dog Uncle Bugeyes reforming, before he split from Stalin? Book 2 by Anne Frank! REFORMED!

    If you can't tell the difference between Progressive and Soviet Communism, consider getting an education.

    For the privacy-minded, here are just a pair of links from reputable sources (in full, not abbreviated) on the topic of the REAL ID Act. It is too late to roll this back. Internal Soviet Union style passports are here.

    Consider....you want to enter a federal building? Not without their style driver's license. What's on that magnetic strip? Shut up because. Sure makes it easy to pair voter to ballot when that same license is swiped as ID....says one from a state which does that swiping.

    https://reason.com/2019/01/15/america-where-you-need-internal-passport/

    https://duckduckgo.com/html?q=Real ID Act

    An entire generation of school children have now gone by accustomed to added security and in many (if not most) schools the mandatory wearing of student ID. Some schools use these to track the student's actions off the school campus, usurping parental discretion.

    Obey, ya little creep. One size fits all.

    I did. I confess I did not buy the T shirt, particularly the one leftists wear today celebrating a murderous thug who got what he deserved. Che whiz, that name will come to me.

    All evidence to the contrary.

    When the Right screws things up massively, the country needs someone to clean up your mess.

    Are you certain? I have it on good authority that they are not. At around 50 seconds though, the whole movie is a masterpiece.

    What;s the distinction you are making having to show it when you register and showing it when you cast your ballot?

    Make no sense to support it to register but not to cast your vote does it.

    My. I am so surprised. I wasn't that concerned with whatever imaginary goods the left could get, and in Mueller's case failed to do. Ya think Mueller or Schiff coulda burned ole DJT if that stuff had truly mattered?

    But in reality Trump's name was on the masthead and his people let him down. This makes it sound like Trump kept the funds under his gold-plated bed and personally rifled funds. Hogwash.

    The Guardian distorts, it does not report. Or it does not report at all. Our UK readers must think we're all a bunch of bandana-wearing thugs breaking into stores and houses because we ... ah ... wanted Biden to win so we tore everything apart?

    Whoo.

    Canada buys roughly 60% of our foreign exports. Their CAW builds cars for America, and key auto parts. They share our contempt for the French (being closer enhances the viewpoint). They produce a huge number of our TV and movie features (usually better quality on shoestring budgets). I grew up on their TV and radio ("the Big 8, CKLW!"). They're the good neighbors who pick up their yard. Can't say that about a U.,S. city run by Democrats.

    How'd that work out for Fast and Furious, or those guys murdered at Fallujah Bridge or Benghazi? Hussein really handled that well, blaming a video, wasn't it? Or am I corn-fusing a different excuse for a different screw-up? Lookin' forward to the indictments and lower-level stooges rolling over on him. And on Biden.

    The Texas side step. Trumpets pull out all the stops. Of course, we know you’re not serious. If you were, you could easily find information on all of Trumps civil crimes. Rich people pay fines and restitution for their behavior and seldom ever go to trial.
    How Mueller and Schiff got into the conversation, we’ll never know. Don’t for get Hillary emails and Benghazi and how Obama didn’t wear his lapel flag pin.

    I was thinking the Great Depression, Nixon, 2 wars in Iraq, so many tax cuts they imperil the economy, worst corruption in American history, and more.

    Trump is going to combine a Depression, Nixon style power grabbing, massive corruption, and a degradation of government functions that will threaten our ability to recover.

    So much winning...

    That’s ridiculous. This is standard practice for the way we do business throughout our society. Formal IDs are required for a plethora or registrations including addresses and phone numbers in the real world both in government and in the free market and then just verbal casual recognition and informal ID after ward like they do at the polls. We have computer access. You know, those things that hold information . You guys sound like you never used absentee ballots or even; voted . Laughable. If Trump ever got what he wanted,YOU could’t vote absentee and neither could he.

    You do know it’s a felony to commit voter fraud. Catching people is easy with the system we have. Why don’t you do it regularly if you aren’t afraid of committing a felony and getting caught ?

    Exactly.
    And too, we give a pass to Reagan for being one of the most corrupt presidents.

    Oh, Fast and Furious.....another a golden Oldie. “ you can keep doctor” and don’t forget OBama not wearing his flag lapel pin ?
    Waiting for indictments ? Gee, that’s like waking for trickle down to kick in.

    It makes lots of sense. Time constraint in voting in one day make it much more practical with our normal procedure.

    We fit voting in around our work day. There are no valid reasons for changing, even according to boards set up by Bush and Trump himself to make the process any different. It’s laughable that the gop praises the constitution then defies its amendments to access voting rights.

    To you, criminal Obama types are just old news. The classic Hillary dodge, among so many other Democrats and fabulists before her. Makes my sides ache laughing at how pathetic that technique truly is.

    "Why, that's old news!" Donks burble, whenever confronted with lingering stench from the Obama Era. And yet you dredge this up? I repeat. He was the figurehead. No use trying to hoist a donkey-sized flag self-tattered by the blatant Democrat corruption and malfeasance, and through Deep State attacks on America's best president since Rompin' Ronnie Reagan..another media type who used to be a Democrat until he was no longer stupid.

    Thanks for that reminder about Hildabeast! How delightful her people will be at the Minneapolis convention..eh? Mugggings in the stairwells, buying votes. Incendiary photos from someone's motel tryst slickly sent to media mongrels. Ooog. Democrats at play, ask Tom Eagleton.

    So it's not criminal to deliberately conceal 33,000 public records? Interesting interpretation of federal law, you should run for the 9th Circus. Or Hillary's go-fer to the liquor store. Maybe the one wiping drool off Joey Plugs' chin. Provided that Swim Time is cancelled because he's dressed --- no female Secret Service agents were assigned today.

    Mueller? Mueller!

    Mueller had millions of dollars to get ANYTHING on Trump and failed to get more than blisters on his butt, reading falsified or distorted information. Schiff was a chief player in falsely accusing Trump of things they completely, utterly failed to support. Repeating: no indictments. Zip. Nada. It's only another BS Democrat stunt intended to waste money. The faithful and the feckless bought it wholesale.

    For what? What did Mueller accomplish except become a Deep State stooge and laughingstock? What did he show except that Trump actually IS honest, at least more than the Clintons, the Obamas, the despicable Pelosi and Schiff and most of all to Christopher Steele, who got the whole urinating-on-the-bed thing going --- and now says he cannot find his notes.

    Democrats. Bought that lie wholesale. Ran with it. Expanded it into another COVIOD panic by the way the earth trembled over this awful news about Trump. GET HIM! they cried. They couldn't, and it truly, evilly, marrow-deep hurts. Goody.

    Democrats drilled an expensive empty well trying to hurt Trump. and erode belief in competent Democrat leadership, of which their insistence on senile top-down insanity have guaranteed to be incompetent plutocrats and parasites.

    Go ahead. Snit-pick the minutia, as America heads toward Trump's triumphant reelection. Your resistance helps put him over the top. Thank you for your support.
