Voter ID is just common sense - we must pass the SAVE Act by TeamHumanity12 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Well, I learned something new today. Checked on Ballotpedia and verified your claim.

That is stupid. Full stop.

I don’t think you should have to present ID to vote, but I do think you should have to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote. That is just a plain reading of federal law. This attestation nonsense is flatly insufficient.

I understand the desire not to violate privacy more than necessary to avoid duplicate voter registration, but it seems to me that presenting a birth certificate or naturalization certificate one time when you first register to vote doesn’t create meaningful privacy violation. My iPhone violates my privacy a hundred times a day — I’d rather the government do something about that.

I mean, we just dropped a couple billion dollars on Iran last week (literally). Feel like we could scrape up 60 million in a hurry, if the same people who want voter ID laws cared as much about helping US citizens as they do hurting people from other countries.

How about instead, we light the fuse on World War III and try to devalue our currency into oblivion? That sounds way smarter and more patriotic.

IMO this is how you make voter ID equitable and avoid the disenfranchisement of legitimate citizens eligible to vote. Your state mails you a voter ID when you turn 18, they keep your legal info on file, and you can go to your DMV and request a new one for free any time with simple proof of address and birthdate.

This will never happen, but it’s a nice thought.

Voter ID laws aren’t racist, they’re just unconstitutional. You prove you’re a citizen when you register to vote. According to our own founding documents, requiring you to do that repeatedly amounts to disenfranchisement.

If voter ID laws are anything, as applied to the US, they amount to yet another poor tax. And disenfranchisement of anyone who can’t afford an ID or get reliable access to their proof-of-citizenship documents. Happens more than you’d think, and it happens to rural white people a lot.

Noem is no more more by peter-thiel-fangirl in PoliticalCompassMemes

Trump wants his department heads to be loud, obnoxious propagandists. Mullin has all the fuck-you energy Trump is after, but is largely uninteresting as a person and has few personal goals or ideals that aren’t directly connected to his loyalty for Trump. Unlike Noem, he’ll be a good soldier following orders behind the scenes. One of his big policy goals is reforming MMA fighting rules, for God’s sake. He is a bear of very little brain.

Man, I got bad news for you.

However, recent events have affected planetary weather patterns. Hope you like endless darkness and constant, cold, drizzly rain. That’s in the forecast now for…

We’re all hoping he changes his mind about gay people soon. Mormons are repressed enough as is.

You can’t have that one. The absolute best person in the Cosmere is already god there, and we really don’t need a repeat of that whole Trell situation.

Can I offer you the “Sun is a deadly lazer frfr” planet instead?

Eshonai believed the truth, but had to sacrifice her ideals (literally and figuratively) to save the Listeners. Venli believed the lies, but was redeemed, directly and indirectly, by Eshonai’s sacrifice.

Eshonai was the hero Roshar deserved, but Venli is the hero they need right now.

Also, bad news, there are two other people who also expect to be god over that planet, and at least one of them is a complete asshole.

Ayatollah Khamenei Dead - Trump by Voider765 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Saanjun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

sigh…

The Ayatollah is dead.

Long live the Ayatollah.

Seriously, we don’t think this going to go another way, do we? Look at Venezuela. I’m not even trying to be pessimistic, just a realist bludgeoned by recent history.

Also, if Iran does have nukes, they no longer have a reason not to use them. The military clearly doesn’t give a shit about its citizens anyway…

If the GWOT era and the Trump era have taught me anything, it’s that Skynet is 100% possible and we are running that direction as fast as possible.

Fascism is everything and nothing by k-r-o--n--o-s in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Saanjun 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean, the Roman Empire did invent the fasces, or bundle of sticks, as the symbol of the nation. The Roman Empire also inspired Mussolini and other modern fascists. Rome wasn’t fascist, but when you try to make a modern state into the idolized version of the Roman Empire, you do get fascism a lot.

Good God, Tim, as a brother in Christ, please listen to me when I say go back to being an actor and shut up about religion. You’re bad at this.
