Voter ID has always been very transparently about suppressing turnout and not combating fraud, because the only fraud it can prevent is impersonation at the polls, which is not a thing

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

At a wedding in CO during the first Trump administration I spoke about how worrying his acts were and said that his trying to tamper with the midterms would be a good sign to get out. Got some big eye rolls. I now have legal immigration status outside the US and feeling like that was a wise move

Of VC-backed products, 78% fail:
42% fail because nobody wants them.
17% because they don't really solve the problem they claim to solve.
19% because they were no different from competing products or couldn't evolve with the market.
And that's just VC-backed companies.

In a simpler time, this would end up with a somber oval office speech suggesting he didn’t have sexual relations with this person. While house republicans screamed about sullying the office. What a difference 3 decades makes 🤷♂️

Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote.
But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.
These are not serious people.

We have to start SHUNNING COMPANIES that keep switching from "OWNING to SUBSCRIPTION"
I heard CAR COMPANIES are planning on making cars sub-only. If you want "extra features," like heated/cooled seats, your sub fee INCREASES.
PUNISH every company that does this.
KILL CORPORATE RULE!!
