  1. mail in voting is a mess. It should be possible but they do need to work out some details. There are too many votes being thrown out and too many ineligible people, some deceased, getting voting ballots. I get that everyone eligible should get to vote but if you can't fill out a ballot properly... Do you really want these people deciding how to run the country?

  2. That's some hard hitting journalism right there. 😂

  3. In Canada you can have hours off to vote and it's a nightmare for employers. I would much rather have the voting open for two weeks and if you want to vote you make time to do it

  4.  Frederick Röders  Have to agree with you. In this instance the left is more about life compared to comfort.

  5. One of the many reasons to stop buying oil from Saudi Arabia and use local supplies as we move towards a better solution

  6. Isn't James Randi still offering 1 million?

  7. You right. They should have stayed in their own countries and tried to take them back

  8. How is Trump forcibly suppressing opposition?

  9. They won't. However I think they will advocate for personal responsibility and taking steps not to have a child if you don't want one.

  10.  @savagedragon79  and then lied about it under oath.The difference is one person knows what they did was wrong and the other doesn't believe he did anything wrong... and let's face it Trump is not known for being couth

  11. Hugo Stiglitz I don't know if that is fair. I think she understands what she is saying completely. She is definitely uninformed though.

  12. Please also go into how Obama and Hillary used Facebook for political gain.

  13. China royally screwed the entire world on this one. There is mounting evidence that it was created in a lab and not at the wet market. Some conspiracy theorists will say it was all planned, I don't believe that. I do believe China has some explaining to do and they should be held responsible for not taking all steps available to limit the spread.

  14. Atlanta needs to adopt some of the fail safes. Maybe then dead cats won't get voter cards

  15. Why isn't puerto rico residents doing a better job at helping each other?

  16. So wait. We shouldn't hold people accountable for their parents bringing them over illegally but we should have reparations? Donald trump does not think "all immigrants are bad". Someone should explain the situation better to this child. They said Trump has done nothing good. Tell that to all the people who were able to find jobs.

  17.  @zararahman5784  That madam is brave and resilient? That madam is just helping her out? I disagree.

  18. I would not call VIDA catfishing. 1295 a month?? that is ludicrous! But they do seem to have lots of employees working for you.

  19.  @CorbinWillis-bj3li  We should. It;s called being grateful

  20. I'm sure New York holds private businesses accountable if not within compliance and having wheelchair access. The city itself not being in compliance is ridiculous.

  21. huh?

  22. agreed

  23. Beruxus You are right, I am not poor. But i have been and didn't steal then either. Stealing some bread or beans from the store is a tad different from stealing a truck full of shoes. Of course they expect it to happen or else they wouldnt do it.

  24. Venice and Italy could have done tons to help their citizens but like most relatively wealthy countries, they give away tons of foreign aid instead of helping tax payers within the country

  25. Wait.. She says she crosses every single day and then says she gets $4000 every time she crosses. So is it $4000 a day or only when she is riding dirty? Even if that is twice a month she is making more than any minimum wage job.

  26. I have never heard that people are obsessed. A vodka soda without the Bite(good), lower alcohol content (bad)

  27.  @davidulanovsky8943  So the Hondurans have no choice and can't revolt or do anything to change their situation at home now? I don't believe that.

  29. "Studies have found that repeated exposure to tear gas have lead to symptoms of PTSD".. Don't go somewhere you may be teargassed. I'm old... I've never been exposed to tear gas in my life. "All of a sudden that relatively calm crowd of protestors turns into a ..." I guess it matters what you classify as a "calm" crowd. Every time I have seen tear gas used it has been after violence or looting has begun or used in hopes of dispersing a crowd that is disobeying a public order, mainly curfew or public nuisance.

  30.  @user-rt8sh7xt1d  I am not deciding, I am suggesting... Or is offering advice not allowed either?

  31. ​ @sastrugi4471  It's not how it works? I get that it would not be under public nuisance unless that she is charged with. But if she is accused of a crime, they can keep her in jail before the court hearing and sentencing. It is rare with non violent crimes but if it is deemed to be better for the community they can. Arresting is suppose to de a deterrent. She is arrested "every weekend" and found guilty the penalty gets more severe. Maybe she should serve a few weeks???

  32. There shouldn't be any grandfathering. Either you allow transgender individuals or you don't.

  33. Are you going to cover the "mostly peaceful protests" of RoeVWade?

  34. Normal? I would say she looks better than average.

  35. Wait... Why did this man literally write cheque his ass couldn't cash? He is a fool.

  36. They have quite a few. One of the last videos I saw, about a month ago, was about how shitty it was to live in a developing country... I replied with how great it was to live in America. People didn't like it.

  37. You found this controversial? Just seemed like they showed what the test involved.

  38. She said the school had a security guard and metal detectors... So how did the kid get in? Was the security guard not armed?

  40. I am pretty sure it is 100% proven that the earth is warming and we are losing ice caps in the Arctic. You could still believe that humans aren't having a huge effect, I guess but even that seems less and less likely.

  41.  @juliancalero8012  Correct. "Trapped" is not the best word to use in that situation either. At least in your abuse scenario someone is actually preventing them from leaving. In the instance of the Haitians, it's a situation. It clearly doesn't meet the definition. Cornered is one example of a better word to use.

  42.  @MrPants-zu6dm  Guessing it is suppose to mimic hoisting yourself up. So.. A low hanging branch and getting your body on a branch. But yes super awkward. You would think it would be better to do pull ups.

  43. I was taught it and it was still going on, in limited terms, at the time.

  44. They are not being denied anything. Providing internet is a business and unfortunately it does not make monetary sense to provide it to this area. Donations are great. What I think probably has to happen is the Navajo people need to front some of the cost of infrastructure.

  45. Caligrown92511 Not the same at all. The natives didn't have a border nor a system of ownership. When they realized what the Americans were doing there was fighting/war for years over the land. British/Americans weren't using the systems natives had in place.

  46. Louisiana is a mess. People, when possible, need to move away from the coast and replant further inland. I wouldn't be surprised if people are having insurance problems because they just don't have the correct insurance. If you expect government to help with natural disasters you need to elect different people.

  47. ok.. He walked to a legal point of entry and claimed asylum. Although not the preference this is not against the law. Or how about you reference the law that he broke.

  48. PR is not a US state and the majority of citizens do not pay personal federal income tax.They need to agree to be a full state and pay taxes. It's like insurance. You have to pay to have the security

  49. PR needs to make it very cheap to vacation there and prop up there economy. This guy was voted in. Learn your lesson and make sure people come out and vote next time. I don't think this woman can actually provide evidence that more people want him out then voted him in... Unless it was a very thin margin.

  50. I like the idea of an additional crime to kill/injure a pregnant mother vs. a non pregnant one woman. Using it against a pregnant mother is a little OTT but the problem is people are choosing not to responsible. When any large group of people start doing something deemed irresponsible a law is introduced to limit it. Getting pregnant while facing an addiction or choosing to do illegal drugs after pregnancy is one of those irresponsible choices. Refusing to get a c-section is stupid but i would never support a criminal charge for that. The way these examples are being laid out it seems many were charged but very few, if any, were convicted. "Most people can't find representation that will give them the opportunity to challenge charges". That is sad but I think it also shows that the culture as a whole support some of these charges.
