All you're telling us is that, presumably as not one of the targets who's been told they are these things for decades, perhaps all their life, " those words do carry a lot of weight ". All we're telling you is that,

You expect me to personally give a shit that there's another basket containing people she thinks can be reeducated, when I and my family are in the basket marked for liquidation? Note also how that seriously personalized the campaig

Indeed, except, of course, the word "irredeemable" signals that it was just as impossible for them as it is for us.

It's rare to see any of them link to more traditional outlets. Which suggests you don't read either of the latter, for they do that all the time. Just go to Drudge right now and see the links at the top left to the NYT, LA Ti

For one, it discourages polarization. Yeah, I'm sure many in California are happy it's a near 100% Blue State due to the coastal cities aside from San Diego, but that has consequences in being taken for granted or worse. And anyw

Right now it's nearly impossible to clean election rolls of dead etc. voters, e.g. the Feds fight this hard. However, state and Federal issued IDs have a subsidiary feature, perhaps even more important that on the spot election verific

America's ruling class was in denial. (Heck, I'm sure a lot of it still is.) In fact, their being in denial about a very many great things is how they ended up with "God Emperor Trump" as their president-elect.

Many many fewer precincts and political domains. The US has a total of 3,143 counties or equivalents per Wikipedia, obviously divided between 50 states and D.C., each a separate political domain, both counties and states. Corrupting enou

Not so scary when you see the results, or lack thereof. How many dollars did ¡Jeb! pay for each primary voter? Early on it was low-mid 4 figures, couldn't easily find a total. Did find something that claimed Trump spend 63% less for

Bingo, and this has been thoroughly analyzed. The election would reduce to 8-10 urban areas, which also makes cheating a lot easier. While we're at it, why don't we remove the other part of the great compromise that gave each st

As for Trump, he won with fewer votes than McCain or Romney. Do we have any reliable figures for this as of yet? Preliminary ones, sure.... The suspicion caused by the spirited media advocacy (the media being one of the only groups with

I didn't like being called irredeemable as part of her "basket of deplorables" who "are not America". That's calling for my liquidation, a major thing from the cultural Baby Boom she belongs to. And she didn

Yeah, anxiety can be weird like that. The key I've found is keeping something of a diary, initially it was a sleep diary so the next time a doctor screws up and prescribes me a drug that makes me manic, I'll figure it out quickly.
