    You missed it. Recessions are predicted every time now that the gop budgets are passed. It was an easy prediction. They were 9-10 before the pandemic, they’re 10-11 after. It’s not magic. The gop was batting .900 when it was predicted. Wow, it does not take a genius to predict a recession, just a Republican Congress and President to set the groundwork.

    I'm fully in favour of pummelling racists wherever I find them. Looks like a few others in this thread share my feelings on that.

    You were caught out, big time.

    For the sake of your damned soul, spend some time in reflection.

    It doesn’t matter if one vote determines an election, it’s not a reason to change the rules when we’ve already demonstrated that the system works. It caught the republicans trying to skrew up absentee ballots in another
    close election. Your question is only relevant if there were evidence of voter fraud.

    Please. The only racism here is on those who think the demand for strict voter ID is for any reason other than suppressing the vote of minorities. I'd suggest you reflect on that but I'm absolutely positive that level of self awareness is well beyond your reach.

    Still, though, you can't seem to stay on topic. Why is that? Why are you afraid to address the fact that Trump votes by mail but you and he would deny that opportunity to the rest of us.
    Hmm?
    Deflecting?

    I never see that when it comes to the working poor. The gop is consistent in doing everything they can to make it more difficult for them to participate in the American dream.

    Where is evidence that any landlord intentionally committed several felonies by mailing these in. Btw, to keep from getting caught, he’d have to be able to fill each form in correctly, some Of the items match ID indicators on their original registration.

    Tell us in your studies how many times this has been done. Where is The evidence that landlords pull this sht and take the chance on going to jail and paying huge fines, then losing some of their civil rights. Do you think a firearm permit holder would do this ? Laughable.

    it’s worse then I thought ! It’s every Republican President since Teddy Roosevelt !

    “Every Republican president since Teddy Roosevelt in the early 1900's endured a recession in their first term, according to an analysis from Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at stock research firm CFRA. Four Republican presidents suffered through two recessions while in office and Republican President Dwight Eisenhower presided over three.“
    Trump's turn? Republican presidents rule recessions

    LOL ... Buddy, you were busted pages ago. Continuing to try to dig your way out of that hole just makes it deeper.

    Imma do you a favour and say, with kindness, that your rather hysterical need to try to fix your own (deeply) flawed argument is become embarrassing.

    I actually feel bad for you with each new 'rebuff' you try. It's like a kid throwing his poop around his own bedroom.

    BS. If they can apply for unemployment benefits, they can register to vote.

    No wonder America is so divided, when there are people trying to end equality - everywhere you look.

    I do absentee ballot being a truck driver. You show you do not know what is in the stimulus bill passed by democrats friday. There is language in there to stop voter ID and to promote mail in ballots. It is all about voter fraud for the democrats

    I'm asking you a question about your voting method

    So IOW a landlord could find several ballots in the mailboxes from previous tenants he knows moved out of town could fill them out and make up a witness and return the ballots and they would be counted?

    Of course it matters to your claim that voting fraud must be organized and widespread to change the outcome of an election, you know determines the election on a fraudulent vote. How many does it take even when the matter of which party will control the state legislature during the next term like in Virginia 2016 when one district was a dead heat and they had to flip a coin to determine who won that district and thus determine which party would control the statehouse. How widespread and organized would it have had to have been to have that tremendous outcome?

    And I don't care which side is doing, we should take the prudent and pragmatic and necessary steps to insure election integrity and one of those means is voter ID when you register and when you cast your ballot. And ballot control which means not sending out hordes of ballots to last known addresses and accept back ballots and not knowing who cast them.

    Hmm let's see it was Republican budgets in the 1990's that balanced the budgets and produced the surpluses and record tax revenues and then got us through the 2001 recession with just a $400B and then those budgets got us into a roaring recovery and even HIGHER tax revenue growth and the deficit down to a paltry $161B and then the Democrats took back the Congress and budget control in 2007. Seems to me there was a recession a year later and the worst recovery in modern history under their budgets.

    Sooooo... you'll vote Biden because when S. Korea was doing something that appears to have been right, the US political left was busy trying to over throw the elected government with impeachment fraud while telling us to ignore the virus and go out and hug Chinese people. I do not think the US will R&R this POTUS with one of those, no matter how much Hunter Biden wants us to do so.
    Yeah. Silent Cal, Eisenhower, Reagan. Just horrible!
    No wonder the Left needs to import people into the US. They'll do what actual US citizens do not want to do. Vote Democratic party. Mail in voting will help in that kind of endeavor. Which is why Republicans oppose it.

    You need an ID to register to vote. It works. You’re fear mongering.

    I’m voting Biden because Trump is an idiot. Biden will use science. Trump uses orange make up.

    Thanks for agreeing with me. They can register. Theyneed an ID for that. Do you actually think illegal aliens are registering to vote ? That’s funny.

    So what’s you’re point. Do you instead want to not be allowed to vote absentee ? Dems have never been against ID to register to vote. Do you like the idea of being prevented from voting because of your job or health. I really have no idea what trump supporters want.

    None of them ever balance the budget.....none in modern history. Nix, nada never......you only have to look at Reagan, Bush and Trump if your memory fails you. Huge deficits for all....recessions and crappola.
