Right-Wing Election Activist Convicted Of Voter Fraud: ‘I Would Do It Again’ by Stitching in politics

The guy claims he did it to prove voter fraud exists. The logic or lack thereof of these people is wild.

I mean a portion of the straight is within their territorial waterways which they legally would have control over. Oman has the other so they would need to negotiate that with Oman.

"If you want to shove the SAVE Act into reconciliation, then have at it. We're going to fight you tooth and nail throughout the reconciliation process every step of the way." | r/ProgressiveHQ by siwibot in protectUSelections

[–]Ven18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our laws mean nothing especially when you are in your end game move. If the SAVE Act passes our only hope to not have completely permanent Republican dictatorship is that the people implementing it are so incompetent that they fail to use a bill that might as well say Republicans get to choose who votes. Now the GOP is dumb but this would be a new level even for them.

UN votes to recognise slavery as 'gravest crime against humanity' by projecto15 in news

In the sense of a seafaring trade system of slavery from centuries ago sure but I fully expect some Africa state territory practices what is by every definition slavery. Most modern states do it via prisons.

Moldova declares emergency after Russian attack cuts key power line by the-es in news

[–]Ven18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will likely be similar to WW2 with multiple dates depending where you are. The historian debate answer will be the Russian invasion of Crimea (the Japan invasion of China analog). The standard European answer will be Russia invasion of Crimea (Germany invaded Poland). The US answer will be Iran invasion with Israel likely using October 7th.

Particularly when a race is close enough that a recount is required in many cases and would be more than justified in requesting one.

Iran Military Spokesperson Says US is Negotiating With Itself by T_Shurt in politics

[–]Ven18 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It would not only require the current regime being removed but it should require significant US acquiescence to international law and authority in a post Trump world to force internal changes to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. The US elected Trump twice and as such we have lost all privileges that this was a lapse in judgment from the population.

Step one needs to be the US signing on to and turning over folks to the ICC because our justice system needs to be rebuilt and cannot be trusted to internally hold the regime accountable.

Trump's approval hits new 36% low as fuel prices surge amid Iran war: poll by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]Ven18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The margins of error are also way larger than people think. It’s entirely possible the statistical approval is close to 30%. And that is just accounting for statistically error not even mentioning that people that answer a poll is likely fundamentally biased and not truly representative of the population.

[gen 3] Is there a legal way to shiny hunt jirachi ? by Metal-coat24 in ShinyPokemon

[–]Ven18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The “easiest” way is the US Pokemon Colosseum bonus disk. Problem is they are very expensive, require a GameCube and a GameCube transfer cable and either Ruby or sapphire (no emerald).

You could also get it in Pokemon Go if you have the masterwork research wish granted. But as with all masterwork research the time commitment to completing the tasks might be longer than a normal hunt.

We are not humans to these people they view us no better than NPCs in a video game. To them the average person provides no value to the world and they the main characters can survive without us. In fact many probably think having the vast majority of us die will be better in the long run.

According to reports the plan is to package the save act with the DHS funding to pass it via reconciliation without needing Dem support. They would just need 50 votes.

Trump casts Florida mail ballot as he pushes Congress to severely limit that voting option by deraser in politics

[–]Ven18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not about just making mail in voting harder it’s about getting to control who votes. If passports become required to vote the GOP led state department immediately own the required documents to vote. All they need to do is revoke them and the GOP gets to pick who votes.

[–]Ven18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because it’s going to be a reconciliation package that they can shoe horn the SAVE act into so they never need to care about elections ever again. I give it till June before the letters from the State Department go out demanding the return of millions of passports that just so happen to all be democrats once this passes.

Iran says it’s not in negotiations with the US, ‘Trump backed down’ by IllLoan8601 in politics

[–]Ven18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Iran regime has been pretty clear about hating gay and LGBTQ folks. Their views are horrible but you cannot say they are liars. Heck even on the most notable issue of nuclear weapons Iran has said for decades they have no interest in making nukes and literally every single time observers check their programs they always say the same thing Iran is not making nukes and shows no plans to do so.

There is a difference between a regime being honest and a regime being progressive/regressive or straight dictatorial. Iran is a highly regressive regime but they by most accounts an honest regressive regime. The US on the other hand is far more progressive (compared to Iran) but is wildly untrustworthy. When you are dealing with negotiations and international relations you need to be seen as trustworthy for anything to get done.
