If this were somehow true, the amount of spin the right would need to justify it would be powerful enough to generate electricity.

White evangelicals would suddenly become pro-choice, and thus the universe would have been divided by 0.
They’ll just pull some bs about how they don’t blame him who wants to have a child with a whore like Stormy anyway
Same reason why people are more than happy to fund his golf trips. I’ve heard people say WH is a piece of shit they don’t blame him for not wanting to be there all the time

Same types of people who have a molesty grandpa or uncle and keep kids around them for generations in spite of everything. /shrug
It's really not difficult for the Evangelical to justify this shit.
"He's born again" ... Boom. Done. Not even a back flip. Hardly a cartwheel. More like duck duck goose gymnastics.

Of course is hypocrisy at it's finest. That's politics though, and the evangelicals have become a political force cloaked in religious bullshit rather than a religious force that adheres to doctrine.

I think it's amazing F&F literally had to play keyboard cat off to prevent Trump from implicating himself anymore than he already has.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostThere’s very little fox, a whole lot of friend. Trump rants on and on sounding an awful lot like Trevor Noah’s impression of him. You know how every AM radio talk show has that one crazy angry guy who calls in all the time? After a while you realize Jerome from Manhattan was elected president.I can tell you growing up in NY Jerome from Manhattan is a legend... the bad kind. All the good legends (Doris from Rego Park) are gone now.

Not having a Voter ID card is such bizarre concept for me. You need one in my country in order to vote. I don't see what the problem is as it should be a free ID card.
By Lunatic Go To PostNot having a Voter ID card is such bizarre concept for me. You need one in my country in order to vote. I don't see what the problem is as it should be a free ID card.
The problem is it’s fractured up by the states and not federally controlled. For example, in Texas student ID is not allowed to prove identity, but a gun license is. Clearly geared to suppress the youth vote. If it was a federal voter ID free and distributed to each citizen by mail this probably wouldn’t be an issue.
Regardless, there’s virtually zero evidence of the type of voter fraud these ID’s are supposed to prevent. It’s just another tool the right uses to suppress the vote. Same with restricting early vote or reducing voting booths in urban areas.

But we still have to go in at predefined locations to take the picture for the ID. I get the suppression part but I still think if you as a individual wants to vote then you should/would make the time to get your ID. Still I think that you governments should make it as easy as possible and that they should make sure that you are eligible to vote because it is fucking important.

I agree that the limited voting booth locations is fucking bullshit. It should be easy for voters to be able to vote. I'm a bit spoiled where by which my island is small so nothing is too far so I don't really understand the hardships faced by people in the states to get to voting locations. I literally walked 200m from my home to a voting location.
I've always felt that government issued IDs should be fucking free full stop. It's more for their fucking benefit than mine.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostI've always felt that government issued IDs should be fucking free full stop. It's more for their fucking benefit than mine.To vote at the very least should be free and easy to access. I mean they already have all of your information. I can understand if you are trying to get a license for something but a basic ID should be free.

The issue is, our government doesnt make getting an ID as easy as possible. Like i said, if they did and it was federally controlled preventing individual state Fuckery, nobody would take issue.

To add, and as a reminder to just how obvious these voter ID laws can be, this is what was said about the North Carolina voter ID law, along with other voting changes:
The appeals court noted that the North Carolina Legislature "requested data on the use, by race, of a number of voting practices" — then, data in hand, "enacted legislation that restricted voting and registration in five different ways, all of which disproportionately affected African Americans."
The changes to the voting process "target African Americans with almost surgical precision," the circuit court wrote, and "impose cures for problems that did not exist."
This south / North Korean meeting is pretty wild. Even if I think NK is full of shit regarding denuclearization, it’s still pretty wild. I think SK has extra motivation since Trump made it clear we come first when considering preemptive strikes.
I really don’t know what to make of all this. Somehow this ranting baffoon that we saw on F&F this morning is supposed to help aid in peace talks?

I really hope the talks create a more unified Korea. Was really crazy seeing North and South leaders walking together.
I don’t see how any “unification” is possible. One is a dictatorship and the other a democracy. Normalized relations, maybe.
By Fenderputty Go To PostI don’t see how any “unification” is possible. One is a dictatorship and the other a democracy. Normalized relations, maybe.Well I said a more unified Korea instead of one that has still been a war for like 70 years. Small steps man.

How could North & South Korea not unite and begin worshipping a new Great Leader?
By Smokey Go To PostSeems to good to be true, tbh. Somethings up. I hope not, but it feels like it.Probably something to do with North Korean gambit with nuclear weaponry has failed after their test site collapsed.

“Welp our test site collapsed, time to just give up I suppose. Now is as good as any for peace.”
This is the calculus?
By Fenderputty Go To Post“Welp our test site collapsed, time to just give up I suppose. Now is as good as any for peace.”It's a guess m8
This is the calculus?
But more on the aftermath of the collapsed test site and how it could affect the land in North Korea. Does the country have the ability to deal with that situation? Or the money?

I mean we're all guessing. I've read some speculation about drought too.

Charlotte is trying to host the RNC in 2020, and seems to think nobody else wants it.
I DON'T WANT IT EITHER.
:(
If no one wants it why is it $70 million? Is it like when the Knicks were bidding against themselves for THJ?
Cool to see the Korea development but more than anything else this is South Korea planning for a post-US east asia landscape.
TPP collapsing was just the canary in the coal mine.

Nobody liked trumpcare last time. Nobody like repeal then replace. Old people hated it. Seems incredibly stupid.

Even as the actual proposals faltered, the generic idea of ACA repeal remained wildly popular with Republican voters.
