Federal and local law enforcement wearing masks is just plain unamerican. It’s a cowards move, and shows the fact that the kinds of deportations happening and the methods are, shameful and unpopular. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Ah, that’s far more plausible than they orchestrated this which I thought you were suggesting. If they did it will be a huge problem and then I’m sure the FBI will help them make sure we don’t find out.

I can buy this as well. Not that they orchestrated anything. Expect the FBI to cover it all up

In any case I doubt shenanigans are being played over infrastructure bonds unless there’s something hyper local to you that’s of consequence. Most likely inexperience combined with staffing shortages

Then you must be using something different than the scan trons we use in NEO if you’re not tearing any tabs off your ballot. It sounded very similar the way you described it.

Because she can't choose the ballot on the screen, that's determined by the tab you tear off and hand to them before scanning the ballot.

One of my Radical Leftist opinions is the government shouldn't be able to deprive anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law

We're in that strange parallel universe in which the Trump administration is discovering the value of the Trans Pacific Partnership (which a younger President Trump ripped up).

Trump has shattered the alliance and set us on a course of pitiful isolation. Western europe needed to pay more but this is going to make them pay and make us irrelevant on the world stage. You can’t see that fact with your blinders on. It is on an inexorable march now.

Of course I voted for Kamala. I voted for Nikki Haley in the primary for what a useless exercise that was. You think I’m ever going to vote for Orange Fuehrer?

If that’s a message that gets us a president who keeps us in nato and follows the rule of law, that’s a better outcome than four years of whatever we call this

I think you need to reread what I wrote. I didn’t say I was a conservative now by your current definition. Fun thing about being yeeted from your party into another tent is you get to listen to these people. I don’t like what Bernie preaches but it’s a message that’s close to a lot of Trump voters.

I can’t believe you think Reagan would stand for any of this. Trump is trashing his legacy, starting with undoing everything he did to end the Cold War.

Biden was a leading voice of getting out of Afghanistan while he was veep. It’s why he honored trump’s taliban giveaway.

How about I tell you the republicans I massively respect: Ronald Reagan, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney for her courage to stand up to this madness, Adam Kinzinger. All are or would be cuck RINOs by your standards but you don’t get to call them lefties

Regarding Abbey Gate, terrible tragedy, but 65 troops also died under hostile action during Trump’s first term. And I welcome congressional inquiries into what happened in those last days, but our speaker seems more interested in monitoring his porn habits more than doing his job.

I think what Hillary did was wrong too! She was investigated, spent dozens of hours in front of congressional panels, and likely because of the Comey report which I thought was justified in its conclusion cost her the election! Shall we agree at a minimum the same standard should be applied here?

Well we’re in uncharted territory here so I’m a little freer to speculate for my own self preservation. Prior to 70 ish days ago I didn’t think we would be advocating for annexing them and Greenland by force. You probably didn’t either

Was a conservative, still am going by the definition ten years ago. I wouldn’t mind taxes going down or more importantly being reformed and I like seeing America kick butt. Your problem is you equate hating what this regime stands for with being a lefty. And it will be your downfall

I’m not sure if the people that are subcontracting to remodel my house will be yeeted to said third world gulag or not. I’d very much (and selfishly) like them to not be deported. I didn’t have to worry about that last year

I was able to get a flu shot and a Covid shot under Biden. That’s very much in doubt now 70 days in. Since I have autoimmune issues I also need to take the pneumonia vaccine every year, not sure if that will be available. Let’s call that a tentative three
