  3. The old protocol of absentee voting for those who qualify if they apply in advance is utterly different from by default mail-in voting that has come in since covid. Soldiers abroad voted under the old system. You're trying to equate two things that are different entirely.

  4.  @bearcountrypublishing5303  She's incarcerating criminals, not setting a new quota. Your comment doesn't make sense. What is GOOD about letting criminals out early, or not being able to incarcerate them, because of an infrastructure fail. The reason for the government to exist is to enforce the law.

  5.  @MrOsimendoza  "is that how you called? Since when, trying to stop voting rights suppression is a criminal action?" There are no voter suppression measures in the bill and nobody has even attempted to name any. This is just a gamble on the ignorance of the citizenry. Mind you, that has recently often been a winning bet but a play that always has diminishing returns. "You can't fool all the people all the time,"

  6.  @Vote-Blue  "They have voted down all bills designed to help the border" "Help the border"? You heard the man. The only proposed bills offered have been to fund more processing of asylum claims or to grant full amnesty. That may be your notion of "helping the border", but they would make the problem worse. Passing those bills will not close the border, so Republicans refusing to pass them does not make them responsible for the border being open.

  8.  @Shannon-ij1pm  "expertise" There is no body of knowledge that inoculates a person from corruption, overweening ambition, and self dealing. Only ACCOUNTABILITY can do that. This is a step toward restoring accountability. The next is civil service reform to make it easier to fire bureaucrats.

  10.  Interested party  " think the coronavirus, which has now killed nearly 4 million globally, is "a hoax", per Trump?" Trump never said that. Snyder never said that. What ARGUMENTS are you talking about? Cruz characterized the bill by showing the obvious (and intended) result of each section. Basically, he just read the bill. There is no controversy here. You're just trying to gaslight us, and it won't work.

  11. There is no such provision in the Constitution, active or repealed. The administration and legislation of elections is placed by the federal Constitution in the hands of the state legislatures. The Constitution does not contain the word "paper" and none of the references to "property" pertain to qualifications for voting. Some of the states may (as far as I know) have had such a restriction at the time of the ratification, but I wouldn't take your word for it because you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

  14. The Constitution was informed by the then recent experience of the American colonies under British king George III. I know it's not taught in schools anymore, but you ought to know something about the history of the founding of the US and the context of the Constitution, particularly if you're going to criticize somebody commenting on the subject.

  20.  @waynekerr5728  " thinking that the world is against me and some how the election was stolen." Thinking? You are speaking after the Maricopa audit where it was found that the number of unsigned mail-in ballots exceeds the margin of difference in the count. And that was just one class of discrepancy found. But of course, you don't know this, because your news outlets don't report it and you won't read the report summary itself.

  22.  @mesoanarchy  "One of these, 'it says socialism in the name' easily duped people." Here is an excerpt from the Nazi platform, socialist as hell: 7. We demand that the State make it its duty to provide opportunities of employment first of all for its own Citizens. If it is not possible to maintain the entire population of the State, then foreign nationals (non-Citizens) are to be expelled from the Reich. 9. All German Citizens must have equal rights and duties. 10. It must be the first duty of every Citizen to carry out intellectual or physical work. Individual activity must not be harmful to the public interest and must be pursued within the framework of the community and for the general good.We therefore demand: 11. The abolition of all income obtained without labor or effort.Breaking the Servitude of Interest. 12. In view of the tremendous sacrifices in property and blood demanded of the nation by every war, personal gain from the war must be termed a crime against the nation. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits. 13. We demand the nationalization of all enterprises (already) converted into corporations (trusts). 14. We demand profit-sharing in large enterprises. 15. We demand the large-scale development of old-age pension schemes. 16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle class; the immediate communalization of the large department stores, which are to be leased at low rates to small tradesmen. We demand the most careful consideration for the owners of small businesses in orders placed by national, state, or community authorities. 17. We demand land reform in accordance with our national needs and a law for expropriation without compensation of land for public purposes. Abolition of ground rent and prevention of all speculation in land. 18. We demand ruthless battle against those who harm the common good by their activities. Persons committing base crimes against the People, usurers, profiteers, etc., are to be punished by death without regard to religion or race. 19. We demand the replacement of Roman Law, which serves a materialistic World Order, by German Law. 20. In order to make higher education – and thereby entry into leading positions – available to every able and industrious German, the State must provide a thorough restructuring of our entire public educational system. The courses of study at all educational institutions are to be adjusted to meet the requirements of practical life. Understanding of the concept of the State must be achieved through the schools (teaching of civics) at the earliest age at which it can be grasped. We demand the education at the public expense of specially gifted children of poor parents, without regard to the latters’ position or occupation. 21. The State must raise the level of national health by means of mother-and-child care, the banning of juvenile labor, achievements of physical fitness through legislation for compulsory gymnastics and sports, and maximum support for all organizations providing physical training for young people. ..... 25. To carry out all the above we demand: the creation of a strong central authority in the Reich. Unquestioned authority by the political central Parliament over the entire Reich and over its organizations in general. The establishment of trade and professional organizations to enforce the Reich basic laws in the individual states.The Party leadership promises to take an uncompromising stand, at the cost of their own lives if need be, on the enforcement of the above points.Munich, GermanyFebruary 24, 1920.

  23.  @mesoanarchy  "excuse the iPhone 'spellcheck' error." I keep forgetting people interact with YT on cell phones. " is protected. " If you don't realize that the powers that be pulled out all stops to destroy Trump, then you're utterly delusional. I have already answered that. "Like I said, EVERYTHING I wrote is publicly available."Every sort of BS is publicly available. Welcome to the Internet. If any of it was legally actionable, he would be in jail. Congress, the FBI, New York state and City officials and the MSM didn't "investigate" and gaslight us for 5 years about trumped up scandals because they wanted to protect Trump. "Or will you wake tf up and realize you’re being played." The irony of leftist projection has long ago worn thin. I really don't understand what a quote from yet another racist Democrat has to do with the current subject. Are you trying to claim that I am a racist? And what does "Are either you?" mean? Is that another "spellcheck" glitch?

  29.  @crlake  You assume that the bureaucracy has our interests at heart. Why should they? Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The "capitalist" AS SUCH, can only hire or bribe. An unchecked authoritarian government can do that (with other people's money), plus arrest, torture, and kill you or your family. It is incoherent to fear the former and not fear the latter. No "angel" is available to bear this power benignly. The more powerful the government is, the more incentive corporations have to capture it. As things have stood recently, with Chevron deference and civil service limits on firing bureaucrats, the corporations have more accountability to the consumer through consumer activism than the bureaucrats have to anybody.

  31.  @scottfarner5100  I web searched border crossings by year. You simply lied about the highs and lows. The massive surge in border crossings is a Biden administration phenomenon setting unequaled highs. The previous much lower peak was in the Clinton administration. Despite Democrat sponsored efforts to deluge the border with convoys of immigrants during the Trump administration, actual crossings were fewer.

  32.  Interested party  The election fraud only has to be investigated once to be proven. But since you are lying about the bill, we can expect you to continue to lie about the fraud, even after the perps are convicted unanimously by a randomly chosen jury of 12 of their peers.

  35.  @noughbaughty8951  "As the law stands.." [falsehood] No, the Supreme Court has ruled that an identity groups supposed immunity from criticism doesn't trump another citizens freedom of speech or association or religion. The baker didn't refuse to do business with them, he refused to express his art to promulgate a message he found unconscionable. Black isn't gay, and gay isn't black. Black is an immutable characteristic. Gay marriage is a choice.

  36. The supplementary funding requests are for faster processing of asylum requests. Faster rubber stamping of asylum requests would make the problem worse. The problem is not a bookkeeping problem. The problem is an invasion being facilitated by the administration.

  42. The problem is not insufficient processing. The problem is the invasion. Enforcement would be good. Walls would help. Streamlining the asylum process will not help.

  45.  @yvonneplant9434  "A Republican admin created the Dept of Ed. Pretty sure it was Nixon." Jimmy Carter did that (and the EPA) and also legalized public sector labor unions creating the powerful monstrosities of the teacher's unions, among other ills.

  46.  @Spiritof_76  "Teacher unions are part of NO government. You are just wrong." All the senior members of the bureaucracy are officers and former officers of the teacher's unions, and run the system a jobs program for the teacher's union.

  47.  @Spiritof_76  " There are reasons some children are removed from some parents." There are reasons such a step requires specific legal process and deliberation. The state does not have legitimate default access to the child. Our society provides checks and balances for all authority, even parental authority. That is not a sign that parental authority is not legitimate by default. "A human being deserves to make choices that are not dependent on parents" A minor is not equipped to make the life changing choices under consideration. There are sound psychological reasons for parental authority over a child. Nobody else has as strong a motive NOT to use the child instrumentally for a political agenda. The parent naturally SEES all your moral considerations (if any) and RAISES you a powerful natural love and the personal knowledge of the individual's needs that comes from having lived with the child all the child's life. "parents who want to dominate their child's choices in perpetuity are irrational authoritarians." Childhood is not perpetual (despite the state's attempt to make it so). The STATE has a natural tendency to want to dominate the everybody's choices in perpetuity, and it is vital to our freedom and general well being that it be held in check.

  48.  @elephantoflight3362  "What parent has a degree and experience in education?" As though a degree conveys authority and motive. The parents hire teachers to perform a service for them. I may take a plumber's advice on how to fix my flooded basement. I won't take his advice on WHETHER my basement is flooded, still less on whether it should be. The actions a workman takes in my house are under my authority and he is answerable to me by right and under the law for them. This was the case even when an education degree was about making one expert in educating, rather than indoctrination, which is now the case. The FIRST place the neo-marxist "long march through the institutions" took over was the teacher's college. Nowadays a teaching degree is the diametric opposite of a qualification or recommendation for a position of responsibility in free republic. And make no mistake, our body politic established a republic, not a technocracy. Experts can play a subordinate role in administering society, but they answer to the public. Generals may be military experts, but they aren't allow to do with the army as they please. That is not how our checks and balances work and for good and sufficient reason. There is nothing in a body of knowledge, nothing in science for a scientist, nothing in medicine for a doctor, that would keep them from self-serving and doing evil.

  49.  @elephantoflight3362  "Random parents, do not run schools…. Period…" Parents of students enrolled in a public school SHOULD run the school. Any authority that seeks to undermine this is illegitimate. A body of knowledge does not convey legal authority as a rule.

  50.  @Spiritof_76  I was clear enough. There is no adversarial relationship between the bureaucracy and the unions. They have the same goals and policies.
