  1. I'm sure the blind and visually impaired population of Nigeria is no different than other places in that people become blind or visually impaired at different ages and for different reasons.

  2. So Trump isn't suing various social media and tech platforms? When did he publicly state that?

  3.  @areuaware6842  That has nothing to do with my question. This video is about Trump suing various social media and tech companies. You're claiming that's not true, so that means you believe Trump isn't suing. I'm curious as to when Trump refuted the reports that he was.

  4.  @areuaware6842  Nope, it doesn't work that way. You made the claim, so it's on you to prove to me that you're right.

  5. @MRJCH24: What they said was translated into English, so how was your life negatively affected?

  6. For what office? There's no Presidential election in the US in 2021.

  7.  @jonahembrom4043  Yes, Trump is President for 11 more days, but usually when you see a person's name with a year after it, that indicates the person is a candidate for some office. So, by posting "Trump 2021", that looks like you believe Trump is in the running for another political office.

  8. If someone did try such a stunt, he/she would be given a provisional ballot and when election workers couldn't find the person in NYC's voter rolls, that ballot would end up being tossed. So it just ends up being a waste of time and money for those "people from all over the country".

  9.  @arnoldpaine6143  Unless I missed something in the video, only legal US residents who reside in NYC will be eligible to vote in NYC's local elections. And even though I don't recall it being mentioned, I would assume that those eligible who want to vote would have to register with whatever office handles voter registrations. Therefore, the new voters' names will be on record. Which brings us back to my previous comment. If someone were to try to pull the sort of illegal stunt you're proposing, he/she would be given a provisional ballot and if it can't be verified that the person is eligible, the ballot wouldn't be counted. So why bother? The person isn't going to accomplish anything and could very well end up in jail.

  10.  @arnoldpaine6143  Starting at around the 0:55 mark, the narrator describes who will be eligible to vote: people with work authorizations, green cards, Dreamers, and other legal non-citizens. If the video stated specifically that illegal immigrants are also eligible, please show me where. Just because someone isn't a US citizen doesn't mean that she/he isn't residing here legally.
    1
  11.  @arnoldpaine6143  No one said the new voters were US citizens. The whole point of the report is that NYC is going to allow residents of the city who aren't citizens, yet residing in the US legally, to vote in local elections.

  12.  @Cindy-sl5rl  Yes, I know the video referred to Dreamers. I even pointed it out in a previous post when I listed the categories of people that NYC was going to allow to vote. And, as far as I know, even though those people came here illegally (through no fault of their own), many of them are currently allowed to remain in the US. For future reference, typing in all caps makes the person doing so sound like a child having a temper tantrum.

  13.  @Cindy-sl5rl  YouTube has a way to italicize and bold words, so using capital letters to emphasize a point isn't really necessary. You may not think you're having a tantrum, but the overuse of capital letters makes it appear as if you are. And, yes, Dreamers did come here illegally (through no fault of their own), but for now they are being allowed to remain here, so they are technically legal residents.

  14.  @Cindy-sl5rl  Nice try to drag me off topic.

  15. That wasn't an immigrant and it happened in another town.

  16.  @OB17358  Aw, thanks. 😊 However, I should warn you that I have no videos and don't really have any plans to post any in the near future.

  17.  @OB17358  Oh, sorry. My name was in front of "subscribed" so I thought you subscribed to me. 😌

  18. Hopefully in my lifetime that will become true, just like Biden being Catholic isn't mentioned all that much.

  19. I thought he said he didn't?

  20. @BrooklynBorn 83 And you have proof that all the estimated 800,000 new voters are Hispanic? No one originally from any countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, or Oceania reside in NYC? That'll be a shock to the UN, foreign consulates, colleges with international students, and international businesses that operate there.
    1
  21. @BrooklynBorn 83 I'm not asking for a research paper, just a link to a reputable website showing that your claim that the majority of these new voters are Hispanic is correct. Until that occurs, the claim is questionable.

  22. That kind of applies to the US as well. If you can't afford it, don't buy it.

  23. As far as I know, local governments have the right to determine who can vote in local elections. If not, then Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Washington, California, Oregon, Montana, Arizona, Kansas, Alaska, Illinois, North Dakota, Indiana, Nebraska, Michigan, Arkansas, New York, South Dakota, and Oklahoma were all breaking your alleged law by allowing women to vote before the ratification of the 19th Amendment.

  24. With all those "accomplishments", why wasn't he re-elected? 😁

  25. I don't think those who were on the bridge at the time find it funny.

  26. "Supremacist owned"? I hate to intrude on your psychotic rambling, but VOA (Voice of America) is a US government agency.

  27.  @inabluemoon1  Did you even read my post? You claimed that the VOA was "supremacist owned" (whatever that's supposed to mean) and I informed you that it's actually a government agency. https://www.insidevoa.com/p/5831.html

  28. Not that I don't think Special Olympics isn't worthy of support, but it's not something that the Federal Government should be funding.

  29.    I thought right wing nationalists liked Trump. Why would they want to overthrow him?

  30.  @lauradevita3529  If he did, then he can't run again in 2024.

  31. What are they loosening?

  32.  NihilisticEntropy  Someone can lose a presidency, but I didn't know it could be loosened. How does that happen?

  33. You probably never heard it mentioned because the last time it was made public was in the late 1940's, before you were born.

  34. Yes, you are crazy.

  35.  @yyutti  An eager Secret Service agent could construe that as a threat.

  36. Why should anyone believe you when your comment would fail a primary school writing assignment?

  37.  @micahfleming9890  If you're referring to the video's narrator, I seriously doubt it since the VOA is an US government agency.

  39. Unfortunately, it's a common practice. I'm sure if Kemp's donations were examined, there'd be quite a few out of state donors in his coffers as well.

  41. How can Biden be denied access to his own inauguration?
    1
  42.  @michaelbadolato1888  Nope, sorry, the lack of a DOJ website link tells me you're, at best, misinformed about these supposed indictments.
    1
  43.  @michaelbadolato1888  I could find out sooner if you provide that DOJ link.
    1
  44.  @michaelbadolato1888  Nope, it doesn't work that way. If you make a claim and someone asks you to provide proof, it's on you to do so, not on the questioner.
    1
  45.  @michaelbadolato1888  In other words, you can't provide the proof of what you're claiming. Why does that not surprise me?
    1
  46.  @michaelbadolato1888  "... maybe do a lil research ..." Phrases like that are strong indicators that the person saying it has no proof of his/her claim. Again, I'm not surprised.

  47.  @michaelbadolato1888  I guess security didn't get your memo since Biden didn't just make it to the Capitol, he was just sworn in as President.

  48. Jean-Pierre? What did she say in this video that was inaccurate?
