I think it highlights his frustrations with conspiratorial babble quite nicely

you're a fucking idiot.

this has absolutley fucking nothing to do with biden

Thats not a fucking source dude.

I don't wtf are you talking about

fucking you.

You didn’t address the females that got abortions or BLM supporters.

The constitution states “The right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”

It the founding fathers wished to exclude non citizens, then they would have replaced the word people with the word citizens.  Just like if they wanted to ban open carry, they wouldn’t have said, “The right of the people to keep and BEAR arms”.

 I mean it’s not like he committed the grave sin of lying about a blow job or anything

If an undocumented immigrant wants to use their 2nd amendment right to protect from a tyrannical government (like ICE), I would support that.

Why shouldn't someone that shoots someone, be tried.

Isn't that a basic requirement of the Law.

AH...Silly question....We're talking U.S. here.

please put actual effort into your posts they are getting old.

We haven't seen this level of race baiting around this Virginia election since Tawana Brawley. Hiring Black white supremacists to hold tiki torches..... bold move Cotton.

What I found funny is that Donald Trump wins even when he’s not on the ballot

Yeah but he will probably end the institutionalized child abuse of forcing toddlers and children to wear masks eight hours a day, or teaching them divisive political jargon in elementary school. That’s good enough for me!

Hopefully some policy will get done

That would be quite the journey.  West Virginia seceded from Virginia because Virginia seceded from the Union.

You know if you want to be Canadian you can just move there and become a citizen. Not sure why you feel like the choice should be I have to be Canadian or I have to be a Trump voter. I'm not either and actually kind of satisfied with that.

Are murderers American citizens over 18 once they're done serving their time? You should be automatically enrolled for the draft when you are automatically registered to vote when you turn 18 provided you are an American citizen. 

Even the hard left hate him, and they are internationally famous for tolerance!

spreading misinformation on social media and intentionally causing division. 

It is a fact that the rich are often shielded from the consequences of their wrongdoings by their wealth. Do you dispute this?

There is not enough difference in allele frequency to make the distinction between races. There us only one race. The human race. A white European descended person may easily bear more genetic similarities to any given person of color chosen at random than any given white person chosen at random. Your argument is scientifically fallacious. 

If you believe that the reason is one "races" "superior genes" then, not to beat a dead horse but that would be racist by definition. I am not trying to put words in your mouth I'm just being very clear about what I think is racism so that we can avoid confusion. I cannot make you racist by my definition only you can and only by fitting that definition. 

"You are 18 and a US Citizen, therefore you can vote" is the fairest way to do it. 

You know that literally makes you in favor of Jim Crow laws, and against the Civil Rights act? I guess if you're okay with that, I respect you saying so so explicitly. 

What is the danger so inherent you'd like to abridge constitutional guaranteed civil rights? Why are these people worth less than the people who are literate?

Please substantiate both of these.

This is the base that democracy starts from. You have a right to vote no matter how you form your opinion. Having people have to pass some sort of test to vote invites bias in whatever test that is (not very difficult to sneak idealogical bents into test material, essentially making only one side's vote eligible). Come on now. 

If that's how much it costs per year, that's like $2/day for someone who is an average earner.  Whereas the income tax difference is about 3% of your entire income.  If you make $100K/year, that is about $3000 saved by switching to Canada, or $8/day.  Canada has lower taxes overall and I don't even notice the sales tax.  It makes things slightly more expensive, but it's a bargain compared to the income tax.

All tax deductions are the government picking favorites and therefore should be eliminated.

Sales taxes don't impact the cost of goods much, so I don't care if a place has a sales tax.  I don't want to pay an income tax.

I'll make more when I'm older.  I want to be an actuary.  Actuaries make a lot of money.  High taxes on high earners is going to effect me once I'm an actuary.

I'm a right leaning independent in a blue state, so I want my state, as well as every other blue state that feasibly can to join Canada.  Canada has lower taxes than America.

 I'm sick of subsidizing red welfare states with my tax dollars.

Democracy is an ideal. There's nothing wrong with the ideal, it is simply our self-limited practice of it that is found wanting.

What does this say about the competence of the American voter?

Well there are many other forms of racism besides these and many are more subtle and insidious but yeah all things being equal we would expect all things to be equal. If all things are not equal then all things must not be equal. 

Because incidents of rape in the wealthy and powerful are coming to light in record numbers where before they simply went uninvestigated.

I said if you think ethnicity makes you more or less inclined to criminality that would by definition be racist. Is that what you believe or not?

 That people of color are just intrinsically more inclined to criminality than whites? I hate to belabor the obvious but that is a racist attitude to hold so I hope that isn't what you are saying. I hope you aren't just a blatant racist. 

The poor have little agency compared with the wealthy

You mean high poverty areas? Yes it has. In fact I accept that as an axiom. That is precisely why it is indicative of systemic racism that so many such communities are black communities. 

The numbers do not back this up. Quite the opposite in fact as predominantly black communities are disproportionally targeted by police.

Would you care to figure that by economic class? If you do I don't think you will see much difference between people of color and other ethnic groups. You may however see a difference in conviction rates as people of color are disproportionally convicted.

At the very least it makes you far more likely to be convicted for crimes. No expensive lawyers or connections.

Average behavior? Of whom exactly? Of the poverty ridden? 

Do us a favor love?

you mean whites and blacks are different biologically I assume?

And some men are FAR more likely to be shot than others. If you would like to know the difference pick up some paint swatches.

This is unwise for anyone but there are some people who are far more likely to be shot out of hand by police in this situation than others.

Even the tip of the iceberg we can see is very widespread and ugly.

let's go Brandon!

Blue Lives Matter.

THE NHCS/NVSS standard is "“injuries inflicted by the police or other law-enforcing agents, including military on duty, in the course of arresting or attempting to arrest lawbreakers, suppressing disturbances, maintaining order, and other legal action”

• So, a fat guy who runs from the cops and collapses did not die from injuries inflicted by police and would not be coded as LEGAL INTERVENTION on the coroners report
  
• a guy who gets tasered and collapses died from injuries inflicted by the police and ought to coded as LEGAL INTERVENTION on the coroners report
  

Personally, I think every death during police action should be tagged for State and Federal databases.  As a citizen, I want to know how many fat guy police chase heart attacks agencies are reporting so I can see how that number compares to other police agencies, other states, other nations, other years , etc.

The coroner's job is to determine and report cause of death.  It is false to say that this study fails to differentiate justified from unjustified.  This study only says that the majority of (mostly newspaper) reported deaths by police injury are never recorded by (mostly coroners) as deaths by police injury. 

Let's agree that every time a police officer injures somebody in the line of duty that injury should be documented and reported up the line.  If some police dept is injuring citizens at twice the rate of another police dept., we want to know that and have the opportunity to investigate.  If we can agree on that, then we should agree that every citizen's death in police custody or during the course of police action should be noted in that citizen's death investigation and coded for independent review, however subjective the circumstances.

They were mail-in ballots, the method Democrats prefer for whatever reason and concentrated in the urban cores of large cities, which also vote heavily Democratic. 

Yet votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth, statistics show. Election officials reject almost 2 percent of ballots cast by mail, double the rate for in-person voting.

Voting by mail is now common enough and problematic enough that election experts say there have been multiple elections in which no one can say with confidence which candidate was the deserved winner. The list includes the 2000 presidential election, in which problems with absentee ballots in Florida were a little-noticed footnote to other issues.

In the last presidential election, 35.5 million voters requested absentee ballots, but only 27.9 million absentee votes were counted, according to a study by Charles Stewart III, a political scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He calculated that 3.9 million ballots requested by voters never reached them; that another 2.9 million ballots received by voters did not make it back to election officials; and that election officials rejected 800,000 ballots. That suggests an overall failure rate of as much as 21 percent.

There is a bipartisan consensus that voting by mail, whatever its impact, is more easily abused than other forms. In a 2005 report signed by President Jimmy Carter and James A. Baker III, who served as secretary of state under the first President George Bush, the Commission on Federal Election Reform concluded, “Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.”

“Absentee voting is to voting in person,” Judge Richard A. Posner of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has written, “as a take-home exam is to a proctored one.”
