    I haven't been paying very close attention but I just read that Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning from congress early, with a year left of her term, leaving her seat and the whole country vulnerable to the Socialist Party.

    That's pretty slimy of her to trash Trump, announce resignation a year early, and then to go on The View. That's 3 fists up our butts all at the same time, and I'm not into that fisting stuff.

    Where we misled from the start and MTG was really anti-America in the first place?

    We've seem this with several people recently. Ex: Tucker Carlson, Candice Owen.

    Can TDS impact good people?

    Theory: Back to the idea of the Elitists and their need to be "on top". It seems to me that Elitists are more likely to suffer from TDS. Could these "good" people really just closet Elitists, get TDS and basically go insane?

    I saw the fakeness in her right from the start. My suspicion began with her ridiculous TV commercials, and her articles of impeachment against Joe Biden was another clue (because it went nowhere.) Like Dan Bongino always says "There are fake Republicans, but there are no fake Democrats."

    We've seem this with several people recently. Ex: Tucker Carlson,
    Candice Owen.

    I used to like Tucker, but I've seen the fakeness in him too, and Candice Owen. They both used to make good points about the left, but they sold out and they both turned their backs against us.

    Can TDS impact good people?

    No! They were never good to begin with, they were just trying to impress us so they could plant seeds.

    Maybe. I appreciate it when somebody does great things 99% of the time (like Trump, Ted Cruz, Senator Kennedy) and I don't get tired of being on their side. I'm proud to be part of this crowd. But some people are jealous of Trump I
    think. Candace Owens for example; she pal'd around with Trump during his 1st year as president, but then said "I'm gonna run against him in the primary because I want to be president," and then she never even ran for anything (think of her as the right's DEI hire.)

    Fun Fact... Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and AOC get $7000 contributions from sources Arabic names. The origins of the names, not so important to my point.

    Thom Massie, John Thune and several other RINOs... and I learned today that Marjorie Traitor was in that list... Receiving money from the same people who are funding Ilhan Oman et al..

    Same names same amount.

    No wonder she didn't finish her term... and she left with millions in her bank as well.

    That's a good observation that you made though, them all getting money from the same sources. Maybe Thune is some kind of a stealth-RINO who only does special subtle things for the Democrats.

    Interesting. I took that to be "she's not part of the esbalishment" since her commercials looked so amateurish.

    and her articles of impeachment against
    Joe Biden was another clue (because it went nowhere.)

    With the Democrat controlled Congress, they weren't going to go anywhere.

    But I saw that as a virtue signal. Which should have clued me in.

    Like Dan Bongino
    always says "There are fake Republicans, but there are no fake
    Democrats."

    He's right on that.

    I used to like Tucker, but I've seen the fakeness in him too, and
    Candice Owen. They both used to make good points about the left, but
    they sold out and they both turned their backs against us.

    Ya, both were doing good stuff. But they seemed to go off the deep end fairly close to one another.

    No! They were never good to begin with, they were just trying to
    impress us so they could plant seeds.

    So controlled opposition. It would be interesting to know who's controlling them.

    jealous of Trump I think. Candace Owens for example; she pal'd around
    with Trump during his 1st year as president, but then said "I'm gonna
    run against him in the primary because I want to be president," and
    then she never even ran for anything (think of her as the right's DEI hire.)

    I don't think she's on the Right, though.

    I used to listen to her for a while, but she was focusing on fluff stuff and most of her "news" was old, so it wasn't worth listening to her. She was supposed to have done an expose on how BLM spent their money, but I never really saw that come to life.

    Then she really went off the deep end.

    But she reminds me of one of Dinesh D'Souza's documentaries. He interviewed a couple of the "white supremacists" that the Left likes to trot out as "Ultra Right". And guess what? Those "Ultra Right" have the same beliefs as the Left - the only difference is who is in charge.

    Regarding Candace Owens, the same goes for her wanting to run for president. She didn't run, and I doubt she even tried to collect signatures or to raise money for a campaign.

    She wants attention, just like Marjorie. I'm not sure which one is more desperate for it.

    Attention or just influence (i.e. power). That would make sense to me. If their desire was influence, they failed - and not just before they went off the deep end.

    So it's certainly possible that we have a couple more who can't stand to have their Narratives challenged by Reality.

    I can't. It's been corrupt for a long time. But in the past, it was a personal corruption and the people involved knew that they had a limit because too much would hurt everyone - including themselves.

    In more recent history, the corruption seems to almost be at a self-destructive level. And Osama wasn't the start. He was just the most visible in recent history.

    We have people on the take. Insider trading... They get elected and ignore the people who voted them in. Both sides need to just vote the Save America Act in because almost everyone wants it. Everyone but the Democrat party.

    And you see that's the difference.

    Long ago, things like insider trading enriched the particular senator, but did little to harm the country as a whole. And if the senator kept things quiet, he could retire wealthy, and have a nice country to live in.

    In more recent history, it seems like they not only want to enrich themselves, but wreck the country too. So they retire wealthy, but live in a s#!t hole. That makes no sense for greedy people.

    Then because you know that there will be TONS or court cases from the
    Left to delay the implementation.
    We need time for the Supremes to say "Yes, you will implement them for
    the midterms".

    I get it now. We need time for Trump to sign it, for the illegal immigrant advocates to cry about it, and for the supreme court to shove it down their throats. And Thune is just letting the Soros bucks pile up on his desk.

    The level of corruption in todays politics is unbelievable. DO NOT say its always been corrupt... Say it started after Barry was elected.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_political_scandals_in_the_United_States

    We have people on the take. Insider trading... They get elected and ignore the people who voted them in. Both sides need to just vote the Save America Act in because almost everyone wants it. Everyone but the Democrat party.

    The graft isn't limited to one party.

    How does requiring proof of citizenship on election day prevent
    corruption by both parties once elected? The issue of campaign finance
    reform and term limits are more prescient - once elected, you can trade
    influence for kickbacks and campaign donations, increasing your chance
    of re-election and continuing the cycle of graft.

    Thune says "we don't have the votes." Isn't it possible that he's
    telling the truth about that? Murkowski and Collins aren't the only
    RINOs in the senate; there are more. Some of them ass-out unexpectedly
    at the last minute. We actually need backroom deals on the table in
    order for this to happen the way we want it do. If the RINOs f this up then we have to deal with congress all over again.


    He maybe telling the truth about the RINOs and with our current Senate Rules we may not have the 60 vote threshold.

    But if we were to revert back to the old rules, to the ones we had before the 1970s we'd be in.

    We have enough votes if we get rid of the Zombie Filibuster.

    The Speaking Filibuster is simple majority after the Dem speak as to why they don't support common sense things like proving that you are a citizen and showing ID on the way in to vote.

    Thune can change this tomorrow, but he may be on someone's payroll.

    If we have a senate leader who works as hard as Trump we'd be good to go...


    BTW, let me ask you... Do you think Chuck or Nancy would have been asked to do whatever they can to put through whatever legislation they can...

    NO... They'd do anything ANYTHING at all to push their agenda. If they win the House in November there will be impeachments everyday until the 2028 election.

    We have a RINO problem but we also have a problem with the party leaders showing up with a knife at a gun fight.

    Thune should make an effort to pass this bill that EVERYONE wants, both parties. Do the peoples work.

    I can't. It's been corrupt for a long time. But in the past, it was a personal corruption and the people involved knew that they had a limit because too much would hurt everyone - including themselves.

    In more recent history, the corruption seems to almost be at a self-destructive level. And Osama wasn't the start. He was just the
    most visible in recent history.


    It's because of people like Nancy Pelosi amd Dianne Feinstein to mention a
    few. The decades, almost centuries of fraud set the precedent for other to follow. MTG worth millions, Omar, and the list goes on and on.

    Now we have governors looking the other way for fraud being committed BILLIONS and BILLIONS and the politicians just shrug their shoulders when asked about it.

    We are screwed if we don't fix this.


    And you see that's the difference.

    Long ago, things like insider trading enriched the particular senator,
    but did little to harm the country as a whole. And if the senator kept things quiet, he could retire wealthy, and have a nice country to live
    in.

    In more recent history, it seems like they not only want to enrich themselves, but wreck the country too. So they retire wealthy, but live in a s#!t hole. That makes no sense for greedy people.

    I don't buy in on your talking point about ID and whatnot.

    Other Countries manage just fine asking for proof of citizenship. If you don't have a COPY of your birth certificate one can be ordered.

    In Canada while filing your taxes you can click on an option to notify your local area for election purposes... and the feds will do so if you can vote legally.

    If you are getting married this year, I'd wait to change your name until after November.

    I think its racist to say that blacks and other minorities don'[t know how to get id.

    My wife needed new ID after we were married and all we had to do is show the old documents with the marriage license and they changed everything there while we waited.

    My 15 YO daughter has passports (3), state ID and Birth Certificates.

    On the corruption side of things... We need to pass laws where people in government go to jail for extended periods of time if they are caught.

    I'm okay with term limits as well.

    But the Save America Act looks only at election integrity.

    To register to vote you must prove that you are a citizen.
    To vote you must show ID to do so.
    Only have mail in ballots if you have a reason...

    Senate RULES... Recall Senator Harry as the Senate majority leader during Barry's stint in office??

    Welp, Harry started changing rules... Recall back then you needed 60 votes for presidential appointments, judges and Supreme court Justices?? Well, Harry wanted to push through activist judges and the Republicans wouldn't help out... So he moved it to be simple majority. Later they moved to simple majority for appointments...

    They were warned that this may bite them on the ass... So during "The Don's" 1st term he had the Senate move to simple majority for Supreme court Justices... and in doing this he appointed 3 new Justices to the Bench.

    During Barry's 3rd term, AKA The Auto-Pen Era, they tied to get rid of the Zombie Filibuster (the current one) back to a Speaking Filibuster (What it was before 1975) and 2 Democrats didn't go along with it.

    Recall Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema?? Well, they were the 2 hold outs and the rule wasn't passed and the Democrats got rid of them (Primary) because they didn't follow the party line.

    Barry wanted to push his America Last agenda and legalize the Democrat's Open Border Policies and giving the 100s of Millions of Illegals in the US citizenship.

    Apparently the Blacks and minorities are thinking for themselves and the Dems want to import new voters to adhere to the Globalist America Last Agenda.

    The Democrats have said they'll get rid of the Zombie Filibuster and go back to the old Speaking Filibuster to implement their radical woke agenda.

    Trump wants end the Zombie Filibuster so that he can pass election integrity and some other America First policies.

    @Aaron, I have said in the past that if it wasn't for the speaking Filibuster the Civil Rights Bill from the 1960s MAY NOT have passed.

    Because the filibuster required people to SPEAK on the floor of the Senate.

    Recall Robert Byrd??? He was the Democrat who use to be a KKK member... Welp, this is the same guy Barry eulogized at his funeral when he passed away... Welp, AGAIN... Byrd led the Filibuster against the act, it was the longest in history I think, and during that time the Republicans found enough votes to pass the act.

    So, it's, not a bad thing to go to a Speaking Filibuster, we had it for the majority of our existence. Mind you when the Senate first made the rule the Democrats didn't hate America and had policies more than "Orange Man Bad".


    I agree with that too though. If Trump wants it to get voted on, then Thune should take a vote on it. When we see the end of this predicament we'll know exactly who to blame, one way or the other.


    Sounds like the vote will be on this week. Looks like some of the Administration will be talking to Congress about how Chin et al. hacked the election, with receipts.

    Yes, a vote. Recall Kevin McCarthy?? That's how they ousted him. I think they need 5 people to table the vote and a simple majority to replace him.

    Since F**k Nuts has us deadlocked on a 80/20 issue we might as well be deadlocked trying to replace him.


    It sounds better than what we have now. But a filibuster of any sort contradicts democracy.


    Yes and no, it was implemented to allow the minority to voice their views on a bill.

    President can veto a bill and send it back to the Senate, the Senate overrides the veto with 60 votes.

    So, in comes the Zombie Filibuster and THIS is a threat to democracy. It requires a 60 person vote... and now they run off to face the TV cameras blaming each other.

    I saw Thume on TV today saying the Democrats talking points... He's being paid off.


    I never heard of Thune until the 2024 elections. Was he the "minority leader" prior to the 2024 elections? There have been many more outspoken GOP senators who deserve the position more than he does.


    He has turned out to be a RINO squared.

    I upset some of my allies with that
    take because of the amount of harm
    that will bring many people, but
    a democracy that can actually react to
    conditions is much less harmful
    overall, if you ask me. It give you
    the ability to reverse course or unfuck
    things, somethin we are incapable of
    right now as a society.

    This has to play out. Thune sounds like a Democrat right now. not a RINO but a Democrat.

    The Save America Act may fail in it current version. It may need to fail to oust Thune from his leadership position.

    Senator Kennedy was talking about pushing it through the process of reconciliation, a way they can do it with 50+1 votes.

    Until them we have the sh!t show.


    Thank you for explaining that. That makes sense; if an overwhelming majority of Senators want something done, the president can't stand in their way. It seems like a good idea until this happens:


    Senator Kennedy has/had a plan... The fight is not over but we have to find a Senate leader with at least 1/2 the fight Trump puts into things.


    So with that being said, there should be no filibuster. Being a political minority means being a loser, and senators fitting that description shouldn't have special accommodations (filibuster.)


    I went back to lookup who changed what... and it seemed to be bipartisan... Fun Fact... Senator Robert C. Byrd (Democrat ex-KKK member) led the way.

    I'm not sure if their intentions were honest, we know what @RonL would say, but like almost everything the Political Elites ruin everything.

    Aaron, I wasn't 100% on the Filibuster issue... reading over a few things while I typed this response.

    In 1975 they moved things down from 2/3rds (67) to 60... That 1975 2/3rds was a rule passed some time ago.

    Important takeaway... This is a Senate Rule and with a simple majority to make changes. The Speaking Filibuster as I described was the way it was since the beginning of time and it was in place to give the minority a voice.

    It kept the debate going. Amendments might have been added... it was a great idea... Back in the day there weren't 100 Senators and the Democrats actually loved the country.

    2026 things have changed.


    That sucks. I was excited with the 2024 and 2025 election results, but deep down I knew not to expect much legislation to happen.

    We have an 85/15 split on this bill its funny AF that political people buck the voters.

    I know that you know what the constitution says about elections.

    Now I'm pissed... I just re-read things... F**K...

    :Start
    The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
    :Stop

    the last sentence...

    but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations...

    The Save America Act can/should be seen as a REGULATION!!! Whereby the States use the regulation to guide them.

    For Example!!!! In Canada there is Public Health Care... This is not a federal thing. Each Province does their own. Each Province finds ways to fund it... For example Ontario has an employer tax (it use to be 4%) to fund it... Alberta use to charge people on their pay checks and now use oil and gas to fund it.

    The important thing is this... The Federal government said we are going to have public health care and here are the 10 elements that your plans should have... NOW, figure out a way to make it happen. Each Provence differs slightly to accommodate for their citizens but none deviate from the 10 (OR SO) elements.

    I saw Senator James Lankford talking today. He talked about the Voting Rights Act from the 60s... He stated that with in the first dfew words of the Bill it talks about Citizens of the United States. Not people who happen to be here at the time...

    He said in his state you have to show ID to vote and if you vote by mail in ballot you have to show your ID to a notary and have them sign off on your ID.

    Part of how our gov't was set up was to prevent the "Tyranny of the Majority".

    Simple example: A majority of a town votes to allow anyone to take any car for use and forces people to leave their keys in the car. A judge can come in and rule that the new law is unconstitutional and strike it down.

    Just because the majority want to do something doesn't mean it's right or legal.

    But in your example, the law that says that you have to take your car in to make it slower is unconstutional and can be ignored.

    Side note: They know this. That's why they put pressure on car manufacturers to put in those constraints. They know that they cannot make the people do that.

    Yup. Hence why they don't want it.
    SAFE means that the Elitists can't
    choose which candidate gets 'elected

    You all seem to not understand the main
    opposition to the SAVE act isn't to do
    with immigration. The main issue is
    that it intentionally will kick valid
    voters off the rolls on short notice
    before their respective elections. For
    example:

    Oklahoma's recent anti-trans license
    bill jut instantaneously invalidated
    a small chunk of voter's driver's
    licenses, specifically those who used
    the at-the-time valid rule to change
    their documents. Under the SAVE act and
    other ID laws, these people would be
    required to change any legally changed
    documents, acquire new licenses,
    provide birth certificate, potentially
    a buy a passport if they can't produce
    one, all so that they can vote.

    This also applies to women, some legal
    immigrants, poor folk who don't have
    all their documents for one reason or
    another; this law is designed to prune
    perfectly legal and valid voters by
    imposing inconvenience and fees on
    the American people.

    THAT's why someone like me says the
    SAVE act is horseshit, not because
    of a non-existent illegal voter your
    pet politician is whispering in your
    ear about.

    Ex: Muslims have invaded many areas
    the U.S. In those areas, they are t
    majority. If we had a simple "major
    rule", then the minorities would
    suffer.

    Those people didn't invade numbnuts.
    In fact, most of legal US citizens
    exercising their freedom of religion.
    Additionally, they are the majority
    in their districts but YOU are the
    majority nationally and are speakin
    on keeping them down because you
    find their religion repulsive.

    What you want is to destroy federalism.
    Those people, if they are now the
    main demo in their cities and towns,
    have the sovereignty to, with the
    other people in those towns, vote
    for wht they think is best without
    your approval, white christian
    out-of-stater.

    That's SUPPOSED to be what America is
    about but MAGA has forgotten the
    principles this country was founded
    on.

    But have you spoken to these "trans

    drivers licenses revoked? Have you h
    any updates from them lately? (You
    should give them a call and check on
    them in case they are having trouble

    Have you spoken to any of your anglo
    friends in Minnesota who have had
    their jobs allegedly stolen by
    fraudulent illegal Somalians? You
    should probably give them your money.

    On 21 Mar 2026, Max Stubbs said the following...


    He, like many others, ought first
    to start by glancing at a mirror.


    Senator Kennedy could be one of the most educated in the Senate...

    Senator John Neely Kennedy
    (R-Louisiana) holds a distinguished academic background with degrees from several top-tier institutions:

    Vanderbilt University: B.A. in political science, philosophy, and economics (magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa).
    ^^^^^---- This is not what YOU think!!!

    University of Virginia School of Law: Juris Doctor (J.D.), serving as an executive editor of the Virginia Law Review.

    Oxford University: Bachelor of Civil Law (B.C.L.) with first-class honors.

    Before his Senate service, Kennedy was an adjunct professor at Louisiana State University Law Center (2002–2016) and a volunteer public school teacher.

    and he's funny AF... he has a book out siting his funny comebacks.

    Don't talk sh!t about Senator Kennedy!!!

    Sure you do. If tell you I hate ICE
    and want to abolish it, one of the
    first things you're going to say is
    that they need to go to Minnesota
    to get all those Somalis committing
    fraud, on behalf of the people in
    MN, a state you don't live in.

    You feel there is somethin going on
    hurting people in a place that doesn't
    affect you at all, and you care about
    the outcome enough to decry one policy
    and support another, and call some
    policy makers complicit and criminal.

    My logic is identical to that. I think
    the leadership in Oklahoma wants to
    hurt people so that they don't have a
    voice, and I think they are doing it
    as well to help Trump undermine
    elections and trim turnout for
    Republicans.

    Simple as.

    You don't think that Democrat
    supporters have any photo ID? So
    they'll be forced to not vote? How m
    transgendered voters do you figure t
    have in Oklahoma? If they can't get
    driver's license then they can at le
    get a US passport, if voting is
    important to them.


    "You don't think that black voters
    have the money for the poll tax?
    So they'll be forced to not vote?
    How many Black voters do you figure
    they have in Oklahoma? If they can't
    get a couple dollars than they can
    at least work some overtime and
    earn the money for the tax, if voting
    is important to them"

    That's what you sound like, though
    you'll refuse to see the parallel. Your
    statement is disingenuous. Of course
    people who REALLY want to vote will
    find a way. But those who WERE going to
    vote but now have to jump through hoops
    that didn't exist before, will vote
    LESS, and that's by malicious design.

    Make voting harder, put obstacles in
    the way, and eventually you bleed off
    voters through sheer inconvenience,
    just enough to sway some disctricts
    one way or another. We've seen this
    game before, and it's grandfather was
    outlawed for a reason. This is the same
    tactic in a different costume. And
    y'all know it too.

    We just witnessed the largest importation of undocumented migrants by Democrats since slavery. Our elections are susceptible to manipulation, and by arguing against voter ID you're sending a message to all that there's no point in becoming a citizen, no point in saluting or pledging allegiance to the flag, and even if you're a tourist from China you're more than welcome to cast a ballot, because we're nice, kind-hearted, welcoming people.

    You live in a state where voter ID is already required. In my state, I walk into the polling place with 2 legs and a pair of pants, they ask me for my name and address, and they hand me a ballot.

    in your district, et al. It's just
    done after the fact, not prior to

    What's your home state so I can see

    is removin a program that is also used

    But great, it's gone. Is your life

    and let me know when you can point out
    a concrete way in which DEI policies of
    the government and private companies
    have improved your day to day.

    I'm looking at your laws now. Says that
    everyone must be registered beforehand
    for your vote to count, that first time
    voters MUST ID themselves via photo ID,
    utilities or other proof of
    citizenship, that voters are checked fo
    validity prior to holding the
    elections, and samples of polling
    stations are audited for accuracy each
    federal election. So it looks like ID
    ing already happened, but before and
    after the vote.

    So really all you'd be doing is saying
    "if you aren't directly carrying your
    ID today you are unable to vote"
    despite the fact that they've already
    pre-screened all valid voters in the
    district.

    Most of what you said here is not true. DEI is not a bogey man, its a policy y'all have been running on for some time now.

    In fact this is the only policy you guys have managed to promote. I stand corrected this, and Orange Man Bad, are the only 2 policies y'all have.

    WE ON THE RIGHT believe that you should advance in life based on your merit and not based on your skin color.

    I am against slavery, where the Democrats had a group of people enslaved based on skin color. I don't believe in it now, where the Democrats what you to hire people based on skin color or gender-ideology...

    ICE will make citizens, or others in the US legally, will get ICED out of their jobs??

    Legal people, with a vagina or have more melanin in your skin, or disabled or a vet.

    All Americans need equal opportunity... NOT equal outcomes. Young Billy stays in his parents house so that he can get his share of wealth from the people who are making a difference in life...

    Elon going to the moon!!! Other than waiting for your share of people contributing to society, what are you doing to contribute to society.

    have improved your day to day.


    That's the problem, I cannot think of one thing where DEI has improved anyones life.

    DEI has not improved our lives at all, it made it worse if it did anything at all.

    They had a DEI hire drive a cruise ship ans she (or they/they) flipped it.

    They hired 2 DEI pilots to fly a plane, in Toronto I think, and they/them flipped that plane on the tarmac, no one died.

    This is 2026, its not 1826 or 1926... You might need a skill to advance yourself in life.

    Back in other centuries you might have gotten buy with milking cows and gowning food. But today you might need to go to school to learn advanced and complicated things...

    Like flying to the moon. <--- You need the best of the best to do this.

    Hire the best of the best, man or woman, light or dark skinned.

    Recall Marie Curie... Female Physicist who discovered radium...

    Welp, she managed to get the grades to go to postsecondary school. She applied to get into University with her marks in a predominantly male education and work environment. <--- No DEI

    Margaret Hamilton, a you woman programmer working on the Apolo 11 project was able to save the program because of her programming ideas. <-- Not DEI

    She educated herself, was hired based on merit and is now in the history books and she will be talked about for decades and decades to come.

    I hear that programmers use her methodology today.

    Non DEI women and others with Melanin have contributed to society at great levels...

    MLK, Rosa Pasrks, Frederick Douglas just to name a few.

    DEI has ruined all the progress made to date. Now the left want up ton believe that only DEI can advance progress of women and minorities, especially those of color... Even more so, they are trying to make us believe that they can't even get ID to vote.

    Because we don't subscribe to DEI we voted on, twice, our 1st Orange President and American is going to have their 1st African American Trillionaire.

    Life is great!!!!


    You won, but what did you win? That's

    You're ignoring the constitution right now, and some TV station is overriding the laws that govern self-autonomy.

    You can't be missing the point this
    badly. Voters in my state are not
    required to show ID when they vote a
    that's exactly what this conversatio
    was about, and that's exactly what t
    SAVE America act is about.

    You appear to be missing the point that
    voters have already been ID long before
    the vote and they are checked against
    an existing list of valid voters. So
    you're not adding anything but a
    potential inconvenience, it would seem.


    And no, the SAVE act is about makin it
    as inconvenient in the short term as
    possible for people to register to vote
    in the upcoming elections, to preserve
    power. It is also about consolidating
    the power to control elections with the
    federal government, rather than the
    states. A cursory reading of the
    proposed law would demonstrate that to
    you. I presume you can read, so I
    advise you look for yourself and don't
    take my or you local politician's word
    for it.

    And if you doubt that, I point also to
    Trump's newest executive order
    illegally trying to stop mail-in
    voting. He's not hiding what his intent
    is, I don't know why MAGA won't just
    admit it when he yells it from every
    rooftop daily.

    "Missing the point" is leftist stealth move. They miss the point, then when I try to correct them, they have a "we already discussed that" attitude.

    Recall Marie Curie... Female Physici
    who discovered radium...

    Welp, she managed to get the grades
    go to postsecondary school. She
    applied to get into University with
    marks in a predominantly male educat
    and work environment. <--- No DEI

    Margaret Hamilton, a you woman
    programmer working on the Apolo 11
    project was able to save the program
    because of her programming ideas. <
    Not DEI

    She educated herself, was hired base
    on merit and is now in the history
    books and she will be talked about f
    decades and decades to come.

    I hear that programmers use her
    methodology today.

    Non DEI women and others with Melani
    have contributed to society at great
    levels...

    MLK, Rosa Pasrks, Frederick Douglas
    just to name a few.


    The funny thing about the people you
    chose to use as examples of non-DEI
    achievements is that you primarily know
    their names because the were the
    exception that proved the rules tht
    prevented others like them from working
    in those fields.

    Marie Curie was exceptional, But how
    many other women might have furthered
    that research if they had been
    permitted to fulfill working roles as
    staff and such? We'll never now, becaue
    they were prevented from working purely
    on the appearance of their name making
    them unhireable. No, to become noteable
    meant that a special set of
    circumstance had to come together along
    with the attitude she had to finally
    result in her success.

    Many of the others you listed didn't
    even do traditional work tht DEI would
    apply to; Frederick Douglass did not do
    traditional work once he had freed
    himself from slavery and established
    himself as an intellectual. He was
    essentially a freelancer.

    And mind you, I'm not even specifically
    defendin DEI or demanding
    reimplementation. I'm just saying you
    can't define it, and the best you are
    able to do is point at some anecdotes,
    not systemic problems, and go "bad
    thing happened because person not white
    male, DEI is responsible" as if a white
    dude isn't equally as capable of
    capsizing a cruise ship or crashing a
    plane; they've been doing that for
    decades I assure you.

    And to my point, you still can't
    demonstrate how winning the fight
    against DEI has made YOUR life better.

    So by all means, cheer for yourself.
    You did it. But what did YOU gain? You
    beat the trannies, the immigrants, the
    blue hairs, the gays, the Joses and the
    Shaniquas of America to make room for
    the the "right" people.

    Let me know when it brings a smile to
    your face and the resentment stops.

    For your analogy to work, that would

    vote but became illegal right before I
    voted.

    What did trump say... "Suddenly she

    So, suddenly, I turned from legal
    citizen to illegal immigrant?

    Here's a better one:

    10 months later, you come back into the store to buy another bottle but without your ID, expecting the clerk to remember your face from 10 months ago.

    "Remember me? I bought that bottle of rum. I was wearing a rainbow colored t-shirt. Don't you dare ask me for my ID again."

    That's how they want us to feel, but they are the ones who are backwards.

    I was at a school meeting yesterday and the leftists said "we hire school resource officers to form relationships with the students, and for safety." When I corrected them by saying "We only hire them for safety, not to form relationships," they all started hissing at me exactly like snakes would if you tore the roof off their den.

    You missed my point, and I think you missed what DEI is.

    My point... Simple... I cannot change what policies were 100 years ago.

    100 years ago families were slightly different that today... Men worked out of the house, women ran the house and the family.

    Today you you need 2 people working, if you want.

    MLK, fought foe EQUAL rights, not special rights.

    My arguments are similar. I think man or woman, light or dark skin, y'all should have the same opportunities. Hard work with great ideas and you'll prosper.

    This is an argument of equality.

    Your argument is Equity... Equity is the E in the DEI phrase.

    Equality is giving someone, non-deserving, a position because she/they/them had a vagina and that vagina was darker because they/them are darker.

    Not because they/them went to school and worked at their studies and was accomplish in their field of expertise. No, just because they had a vagina.

    Other more accomplished people missed out because dark vagina person made it in because of DEI.

    Equity looks at the outcome of things... Doesn't matter how hard you work, study and come up with great ideas... Dark Vagina person wins.

    Maybe 100 years ago more women may have risen to the top... maybe... but in 2026 you can study and work hard and be all you want to be...

    Today you don't need Equity you just need Equality. A female or male, regardless of who applies, gets in based on their merit and skills.

    I want to see a fully qualified Doctor, regardless of their gender or hair color.

    You on the other hand would like to see a DEI Doctor who got their job based on their vagina and not their skills.

    Go to they/them.

    I just believe in merit.

    BTW, I was at one time a migrant to the US. I entered legally, filed all the paperwork legally and have NEVER asked the US government for nothing.

    If I didn't have enough money to eat I did without. I paid my rent/mortgage or any debt before I did things for myself. I was not a burden on the system or other people.

    If you go and invent the next biggest and best thing, do it, and I'll say great job.

    worked out of the house, women ran the house and the family.

    Mostly due to the "entitlement" programs and massive fraud (especially today).

    MLK, fought foe EQUAL rights, not special rights.

    Remember that in Max's delusion, all white people get special rights. So in his mind (what, about 32K or RAM?) "equal rights" = "the mytical special rights white people have".

    My arguments are similar. I think man or woman, light or dark skin,
    y'all should have the same opportunities. Hard work with great ideas
    and you'll prosper.

    But that's Meritocracy. The Left is opposed to that because they are all stupid, worthless people only fit to be baristas (who don't strike) or floor cleaners.

    If you go and invent the next biggest and best thing, do it, and I'll
    say great job.

    The problem is that he's not capable. He's not capable of even getting a job that would pay enough so he could move out of his mom's basement.

    So like a good Marxist, he wants to take what successful people have made calling it "compassion", or "equity", etc. so that he can have enough money.
