QuoProQuid posted:To be real for a moment, Kobach's voter fraud panel does not have the resources to pursue actual cases of voter fraud. Given his history in Kansas and the language of the request, I expect that the report will focus on those who are registered in two states and try to conflate double registration with illegal voting in multiple states. It will probably also try to make "soft matches" between people with similar names and voting records across state lines, implying that some of these cases might be instances of voting fraud. The panel itself might hear testimony from local and state election officials claiming anecdotal instances of voting fraud or otherwise suspicious behavior. This is literally and exactly how Crosscheck works/worked. Kobach got a bunch of states to send him their voter roles, and he fed them into this system, then went back and said "okay here are duplicates between states, purge them." Now, the system has checks for using middle name and a host of other things to minimize or eliminate false positives. They just disabled all of them, and probably selectively picked their duplicates on top of that.

FlamingLiberal posted:The media just can't help falling over themselves to write glowing pieces about Ivanka. Who is the only one in the family smart enough to keep her mouth shut about most things and gives mostly non-answers when asked about controversial issues. John Oliver did a good piece a month or two ago talking about this. She's a personality-free emotionless left-brained marketing expert. (gee I wonder who did that.) I can understand the WANT to humanize her, but that seems like a hail-mary.

Young Freud posted:That sounds like a mishmash of political terms he heard. Why the hell would there be a term limit on lobbyists? They're not elected. I brought up the problem of lobbyists running the show when you have term limits, and that was his answer, coupled with having new members of the house and senate do an internship. I gotta say the second one seems a like a solid stab at problem solving rather then just complaining. I'm not sure how it would work but I don't think apprenticing(his word) politicians before they go into office is a terrible idea.

Most representatives worked their way up to elected office either by doing grunt work early in their career or being activists, they rarely just pop up from nowhere unless they have poo poo-tons of money and popularity. Paul Ryan was a congressional aide for Senator Bob Kasten back in 1992, then getting into the FreedomWorks gravy train before going for political office. Nancy Pelosi literally interned for Senator Daniel Brewster and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer in the '60s and '70s, before she worked her way up through the local, state, and national-level Democratic Party structures in the late '70s and '80s, and before running for Congress in 1993. Mitch McConnell also interned for Senator John Sherman Cooper during the '60s. Chuck Schumer campaigned for Eugene McCarthy before going into state then federal politics. None of these guys came from nowhere, their early careers were spent working for other elder statesmen. That guy also lacked the self-awareness that his boy would be disqualified under his idea. Hillary Clinton was far more experienced politically than Trump before going into elected office, having worked with on Walter Mondale's subcommittee on migrant labor as a researcher, among her activist background. People need to take civics classes.

At this point my bar is so low that somebody moving away from 2nd amendment solutions is a good day no matter how out of touch with reality it is.

The one constant so far has been the Republicans projecting like crazy. Everything they accuse the Democrats of turns out to be something they themselves had been knowingly doing all along. At first it seemed like a tactic, but at this point it seems like some kind of uncontrollable Riddler-esque compulsion. Given that tendency to project with all of their accusations, should we be a bit worried that they keep bringing up the idea of Democrats running a child sex slavery ring catering to the top echelons of government? Pizzagate was absurd enough long before it was upgraded to Martian Pizzagate, but it got a weird amount of traction.

I think it did start as a tactic, but was profitable - so therefore about half that nation is eating it up right now while the republican news/radio sell pills, reverse life insurance, and catheters. You see because that target audience - those who want their deepest, shameful fears to be publicly legitamized. Lo and behold it worked.

What US-Israeli interference is he talking about? The only instances I know of are recent ones. And by ones, I mean one and that was Bibi being a cocksucker that tried to help Mittens win because he hates that " "neoliberal" " Obama.

I think it's the one where the Obama administration funded some organization that was officially promoting a two-state solution but had no party affiliation, but then after they got the money (with no strings attached) they shifted toward taking direct sides in the Israeli election.

quote:Given that tendency to project with all of their accusations, should we be a bit worried that they keep bringing up the idea of Democrats running a child sex slavery ring catering to the top echelons of government? Dennis Hastert's scandal already happened, and he was Speaker of the House for eight years, but it didn't get much attention because he'd already been out of office and out of the public eye for another eight. The 2006 midterm election already had a child sex scandal with Rep. Mark Foley resigning on September 29, 2006. Imagine if such a scandal had happened right now with Paul Ryan in October 2018, presaged by a random no-name representative resigning a month earlier. Such a scenario is more than theoretical; it could have already happened eight years earlier if the holes of Swiss cheese had aligned.
