Any problem solver would know there is no problem to solve
If someone is opposed to drug tests, you kinda have to wonder what they're afraid of...
What's the proof Republicans love Putin? just look at the charts I posted I'd like to see that data...I remember when Obama mocked Mitt Romney for suggesting Putin was a threat, and everyone on the left LOVED it.

Even Republicans had more favorable opinion of the russians when Romney said That

it’s not racist, or even political, to advocate for ids.
i’m not saying the gop doesn’t play games. sadly, they do. but ids are so obvious, it’s suspicious to resist it.
you’re reaction, as always, is that everything is ok when the left does it.
if you put a bunch of non-political
problem solvers i’m a room, and asked how they’d ensure election integrity, every one of them would say voter ids are the single
most important thing. there’s no argument against it.

Jim Voter ID laws go back to 1950, when South Carolina became the first state to start requesting identification from voters at the polls.
Many state had some form of voter ID the Republicans started pushing for stricter laws
And if you look at the states Trump lost. They all had voter ID .
Just proving the election integrity laws some states are pushing is no restrict voting
Look at Texas they have had Non-strict, photo I’d even in 2021. Then Trump lost and they saw the voter Turn out it the state and went bananas , DNA
https://www.ncsl.org/research/electi...hronology.aspx
Jim my issue isn’t with the need to show an ID in my town An election person ask my address finds it in a book ask my name matches it then draws a red line thru it. It’s been the same way for over 50 years . No problems and if the decided to change it to require an Strict photo ID . Based only that a candidate won or lost or some crazy was claiming mass voter fraud then I have a problem with that..
And that’s all these states did they saw Trump lose and then changed the laws to protect against something that didn’t happen ,
But since the base believe the lie the cowardly Reps went along with it

I suppose if three people chase down another and murder him, it's what? Suicide by ????????
Now the Right wants national ID cards, so only card carrying members are allowed to vote.
No big government there.

When Trump knows he's up to no good, he borrows other people's phones. And that's what he did for nearly 8 hours on January 6, 2021.
He used Rudy's phone multiple times that we know of that day. You know, the Rudy who’s phone is currently in the possession of the SDNY....

Bolton said he and Trump have spoken about how people have used “burner phones” to avoid having their calls scrutinized.
TFG thought Bolton said "burger phones", which refers to the red phones in the situation room with a direct line to McDonald's. All a big misunderstanding.

I’m no lawyer but I think Trump openly conspiring with Russia is gonna hurt his lawsuit against people who accused him of conspiring with Russia.

Meanwhile on Russian state TV:
Host Evgeny Popov says it's time for the Russian people to call on Americans to change "the regime in the U.S." before its term expires "and to again help our partner Trump to become President."

Head over to newsmax the removal of Biden is in any comment section involving Ukraine! And good luck finding that suggestion about Putin
Conservatives were outrage that Biden said Putin shouldn’t stay in power .

Here’s another reminder of what has long been obvious:
in the war between Ukraine and Russia, between Western freedom and authoritarian aggression, Donald Trump is on the anti-American side
he's the former president,
but not only that
Trump is the leader of the Republican Party TODAY

Authoritarian omniscient Pete obviously knows what side Trump is on. Trump has said he is anti-American many times.
At least, it is conjectured that that is what he said.

but not only that

Wow, that is so impressive! How he knows stuff we are not aware of. One of the inherent powers of the authoritarian mind, no doubt. Authoritarians think well of themselves. They just know so much.

Authoritarian Pete echos sentiments expressed by one of America's most successful Constitution busting authoritarians, FDR, who was a sort of Stalin's puppet. You and he have much in common, none of which is an original American characteristic.

Speaking of Originalism, both it and you are frauds.
It was conceived to be, and has turned out to be, a smokescreen for imposing arch-conservative social and political values on Americans who don’t share them.
Scalia was not an originalist, neither is Thomas. They are result-driven in the extreme.

Arch-authoritarian Pete expounds on Originalism and convincingly exposes it and me as frauds. And he knows, because he is the authority, that, in spite of what has been written (no doubt by fraudulent experts) that Scalia and Thomas are not Originalists. That they are extremely and fraudulently driven to produce results. No doubt they lack the murky nuances of Progressive interpretation in which results are a matter of opinion.
Pete is a master of opinion, and conjecture . . .

"then changed the laws to protect against something that didn’t happen"
Kinda like passing a law that makes lynching a federal crime......because that was happening every day in this country until Biden and Co. stepped in and fixed it.

Trump on tape now asking Putin to help dig up dirt on the Biden’s, so almost everyone with a moral bone in their body condemns Putin for the brutality he is inflicting on innocent civilians and our former president is still on the hook to his bromance buddy.

Imagine if Biden went on TV and said that he’d be willing to work with Russia over the “Ukraine thing” if Putin “does us a favor” and releases everything he has on Trump. Do you think republicans would just say “no big deal”?

i’d be happy imagining him on tv and not slipping with some insane gaffe,,like saying putin can’t stay in power or saying that the US will use chemical weapons if russia does, or telling the 82nd airborne that they’ll see ukraine. i’d be happy if he could avoid saying things that insane. they‘re batsh*t crazy things to say.
he’s deteriorating before the worlds eyes.

So let me get this correct Putin invades Ukraine bombs civilians hospitals schools threatens to use nukes and chemical weapons
And you think Biden saying putin can’t stay in power is some insane gaffe
Republicans once again attack their own POTUS this time for being to tough on Putin
and please get informed Biden stated if Russia used chemical weapons we nato would respond! Biden never said we’ll respond with chemical weapons he said we would respond in kind
