There is nothing racist in that clip whatsoever.

Plus, that word has completely lost all meaning.

Jasmine Crockett loses her primary.

Good riddance to a race baiting, ignorant cunt of a human. Easily one of the worst people to ever sit in Congress, and that's REALLY saying something.

During her concession speech, she talks about how "they" cheated her. No idea who she's referring to, but fuck her.

Well, it was a Senate primary. Is she still going to run for Congress for her current seat?

I would assume so. Grifters never stop hustling.

Not only does he actually say it, he doubles down and isolates it. Only 1 reason you'd want illegals safe at the polls and it's the same reason you want them counted in the census.
---------------------------------------------
Gavin Newsom: “I’m just like black people, I can’t read.

New York Gov Kathy Hochul: “Black kids don’t know what the internet is..”
(A black kid made a video for this one.)

Chuck Schumer: “I oppose the SAVE Act because black people don’t know how to get ID’s.”

Joe Biden: “If you don’t vote for me then you ain’t really black..”
Don't forget about Hillary Hot Sauce either...

--------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in Washington...

I don't want anyone near the polls. I don't want party representatives, cops, ICE, or anyone. I want all those people to fuck right off. In fact, I think it should be legal to kill anyone who talks to you while you are going to vote.

It appears that the Washington income tax will not be declared unconstitutional: https://dor.wa.gov/sites/default/files/ ... ndix_B.pdf

Sure, tax the rich.

Agree, but I also don't want a single illegal anywhere near the polls, being counted in any census, or getting any benefits.

And just to be clear, illegal is not the same as visa worker/holder or immigrant.

I hope so for those people in Washington.

Everyone should help contribute to infrastructure and social services. Yes, rich people should pay more. However, we all know where this trend goes. Look at NYC where Mamdami has already switched from taxing the rich to the middle class. I'm very much over government, either party, constantly putting their hands in our pockets instead of reigning in spending.

Did you see Howard Schultz announced he and his wife were moving to Florida hours after this passed? This is why the middle class always ends up footing the bills. The rich have the resources to leave.

I have some really good news for you, then.

NYC has a lot of stupid. And I'm not sure where it starts/end. But rent control is a good start for what's stupid + broken.

Nope. But some people will leave. Some won't. If you have $3.5Bn, how much does a 9% income tax really impact you? Especially if you're retired. I guess he probably gets a lot of capital gains + dividends.

I don't love super high taxes, but I do think our taxes on the wealthy are too low, especially when it comes to unearned income (cap gain, dividends, interest, etc). Almost every video game in the world makes it harder to get more powerful as you go. And the US does the opposite.

I notice you stopped your response at just "polls" and ignored the rest.

Also:
-It's a fact that illegals have been voting. Hell, even CNN has done interviews with illegals who have admitted they voted. Is it widespread enough to cause a real issue? That's where the debate lies and it's difficult to prove one way or the other.
-At least two illegals have held public office, actually I think three(?) (Minnesota, Illinois, and Colorado). All were national headlines and all three voted in elections.
-Ds are passing laws to allow illegals to vote in local elections. We've posted those stories here.
-Ds let in approx 20M illegals, gave them all sorts of free stuff while taking it away from the elderly and vets (two demos that usually vote R), and now fight to ensure they keep getting counted in the census.
-Ds are fighting against any laws requiring voter ID and using "black and poor people are too stupid to get IDs" as their excuse.
-There is only 1 reason Jefferies singled out polls, and it has nothing to do with legal voters. I remember when the Black Panthers were at the polls in Philly with clubs, literal weapons, to ensure "fair voting" when Obama was first running and somehow that wasn't an issue.

These are all deliberate actions that lead to an obvious conclusion. Again, I don't want ICE at the polls either, but illegals shouldn't even be in the country.
But rent control is a good start for what's stupid + broken.
But Mamdami wants rent control. Actually, he and his housing advisor want city owned and run housing.
If you have $3.5Bn, how much does a 9% income tax really impact you?
All depends on what % other places want. It's why FL and TX are so attractive to people, not just the uberrich.

Yeah, we generally agree on this, but my stance is the government is far too inefficient and corrupt. A lot of money gets wasted and instead of fixing that, they just grab more money. But this part is a discussion for elsewhere because the Ds aren't the only ones guilty of that.

You wanted 3. 1 is there! 1 is kinda there, depending on the state. The other would require a constitutional amendment.

I don't think any are anywhere.

If Trump really wanted to do something about illegals, all he needs to do is offer them full citizenship on the condition that they vote R. :D

Oh, I know. That's why they're only doing it on a small scale at the moment.

BTW, I also don't think people on government assistance should be allowed to vote, but that's a discussion for a different thread.

Are you listening to yourself? Fucking ageist! While I would absolutely march with you in the "shut the fuck up grandma" parade, there were a lot of examples of not well off elderly being shoved out of their government housing in favor of illegals. Then there was Covid where they were intentionally being murdered by Cuomo...

Also, it continues to be shameful how badly this country treats its veterans. It's actually pretty wild to train someone to kill and then treat them like shit.
TheCatt wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2026 12:35 pmGood. Fuck ID.
ID is required to do almost every single thing one has to do to live, except vote. There's a reason for that, and it sure as shit isn't protecting voters.

No, but the way you wrote your response made it seem oddly in support.

Sucks to be middle class anywhere. You work hard for corporations and pay more than the rich so that leeches can live a better life than you.

On a different note, after watching cultists defend two dictators in a row, I thought it would be awesome if Trump joined Ukraine to fight off Russia. Nothing would be more hilarious than watching the extreme Trump haters protesting in favor of Putin. :lol:

I just want to be catered too. So yeah, there's examples of anything you want. But there's infinite tax breaks for the olds, free money, free healthcare, fixed rents, and more. It's disgusting.

Gordon seemed to like his veteran healthcare. I cannot speak to more.

It's to make it easy to vote. I still have to identify myself and they check my name on a roll.

True. Although, I'm equally disgusting by all the free stuff offered to other demographics. Illegals should NEVER get free shit. (I'm fine with visa workers and legal migrants getting services as long as they're employed/FT students.) And families shouldn't exist on government assistance for generations.
TheCatt wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2026 4:20 pm Gordon seemed to like his veteran healthcare.
He really did, which I always found interesting. Being a vet myself I've never used it as I've always gotten health care through employers, but I obviously know other vets who have horror stories about it.
TheCatt wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2026 4:20 pm It's to make it easy to vote. I still have to identify myself and they check my name on a roll.
We have to show ID, they compare the ID to a voter roll, we then fill out a very small form requesting to vote (name/address/signature), and then we can vote.

I'm fine with that being the standard, but it needs to be the standard everywhere, including mail-in votes. And the registration process should be a bit more in depth, in terms of, proving your citizenship and residence.

No ID? Can't vote.
Didn't register? Can't vote.
Not in the rolls? Can't vote. (Although, there should be recourse for an appeal here in case of error. However, I don't want to get too into the weeds.)
Wrong polling station? Can't vote.

If one cannot figure out how to register, which poll to go to, and have an ID, I don't want you to vote. You're an irresponsible moron.
