The caaant actually bought a house

Most recently, an Ohio man was accused of defrauding donors of $450,000 using the Black Lives Matter name. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Tyree Conyers-Page is accused of creating a non-profit Facebook page titled “Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta” to solicit donations he spent on himself. Page spent the money to purchase property in Toledo, Ohio, as well as entertainment, clothing, hotel rooms and firearms

Can migrants who come to the US illegally vote? Can those who come legally vote?

No they’re not. They’re exaggerating the numbers that’s all

Yes to first, no to second.

As stated yesterday, 50 million more people in the US from 2000 and you wound think some dems will use immigration to get votes?

In opposition, Biden and dems said come on over, and now he power he changes tune, but people got his message.

A cynic may also wonder if dems are playing an immigration demographic card in order to increase potential voter numbers, but then Obama deported more Hispanics than any other pres and Obama alienated Cuban voters in Florida, so dems give out mixed messages.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes to first? The only people proven to have fraudently voting in the last election were Trumpists. Google it.

About time we dealt with all those racist babies
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Without googling how many can tell where that line is from and who said it?

Woke Dr Seuss

After pulling a few titles that were considered racist/inappropriate, Dr Seuss booksales have quadrupled as a result of being woke.

Looks like this woke thing has got legs.

More than 1.2 million copies of stories by the late children's author Dr. Seuss sold in the first week of March - more than quadruple from the week before - following the news that his estate was pulling six books because of racial and ethnic stereotyping.

The woke train has left the station and there ain't no stopping it.

The right blasted for their culture war bullsheet. Trump was on fox crying about Dr Suess pulling those books and saying that China was laughing at US from being woke.

'Stop talking about Dr. Seuss and work with us!' Rep Tim Ryan blasts Republicans for fixating on culture war issues as Chris Cuomo claims conservatives are only interested in 'Meghan Markle madness' to distract from COVID relief bill

posted on 28/3/21

Rep. Tim Scott slammed his Republican colleagues, claiming they were fixating on culture war issues rather than helping to pass policy for Americans

CNN's Chris Cuomo later concurred, claiming such culture war issues were being used as deliberate distractions

He cited the cancellation of Dr. Seuss books and Meghan Markle's interview as two examples

Cuomo also claimed that Republicans' fixation on 'Markle madness' also proved that they were 'against owning the reality of racism'

----------------------------------------------------------------------
They can’t legally vote, no.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so to be clear the approach from Biden is pandering to left democratic voters so that they don’t stay away from the presidential polls in 3.5 years time? If that is the rationale behind his approach I’m not sure that it’s an optimal political strategy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They can vote illegally. No idea how to answer your question to TBAB. The criteria to vote is obviously quite lacking in some form.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Highlights

First use of representative sample to measure non-citizen voting in USA.


Some non-citizens cast votes in U.S. elections despite legal bans.


Non-citizens favor Democratic candidates over Republican candidates.


Non-citizen voting likely changed 2008 outcomes including Electoral College votes and the composition of Congress.


Voter photo-identification rules have limited effect on non-citizen participation.

Hahaha fair enough 😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone should edit Wikipedia and their citations 😂😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems the main issue is the maths behind it rather than the overall content. Trump used it to claim fraud wrt to the popular vote but the ‘correct’ numbers were lower than Trump indicated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So we don't know the correct number. Maybe people should be more worried about the barriers to voting Republican states are putting up to stop actual citizens from voting. Not worth it?

Sure. If I were a US citizen I would want their whole system sorted.

Not really looked into it in the UK but I’ll assume that we have nowhere near the issues with voting. Whatever we do, just do it over there?
Although I guess over there it might be discriminatory? I don’t know.

It sounds like that chap’s research equates to around 835,000 votes which is still quite a lot to be fair but wasn’t enough to overturn the popular vote as Trump claimed. The guy was just embarrassed by his study being erroneously used by Trump.

I don’t really lose all that much sleep over it.

UK putting up a few barriers to voting ourselves now

We love importing America's worst idea

What’s being proposed? Thought our systems were pretty robust already.

If you put cams on all the cops and make it compulsory that they record all interactions in full, then the need to film police would be reduced perhaps.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The argument I've heard from Montreal cops is the privacy of citizens they speak with. If the camera is always on.
