FUCK THE JUDICIARY

I reject the premise that we needed permission in the first place.

We do not need permission to live our lives, to worship, or to conduct everyday commerce.

yes. a little more strongly worded than others, but indeed it is merely a letter.

hell of a story - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Virginia#Separation_from_Virginia

however, i think this is the crux: US Congress immediately recognized WV as a new state regardless of what VA was doing, and continued their support all the way through official admission into the Union.

As it is now, the US House of Representatives would never support this in its current form. Rs would need to hold both houses of congress for this to work.

It's literally an effort to declare a new State, severed from the state of California. I believe same is true for NV.

Problem is, this won't be official for a long time because straight out of the US Constitution, a state can't be formed within the jurisdiction of another without 1) the consent of that state's legislature, and 2) the consent of the US Congress.

How do you get a bunch of democrat state reps to cede control of a sizeable chunk of their own state so a bunch of non-democrats can gain representation at the federal government? They'd never consent to it, without force of some kind.

I could see the NV one coming together before the CA one.

right- same here.. we have to be able to be critical of everything, regardless of "our side" BS. otherwise we're no better than the far left.

they're saying they agreed not to proceed with their own vaccine. i see nothing in the article that says they're scrapping the Pfizer plans, though they are waiting before giving approval.

I mean it says right there in the article they expect to give approval in late January.

You are wrong.

Finally, it is very ignorant of you to assume that i'm a "subtle shill" or some shit. Jumping to those all-or-nothing absolute claims is something the democrats do.

Australia has an agreement for 10 million Pfizer doses and will have an option to buy more for its 26 million people if supplies allow.

Australian researchers announced Friday they had abandoned development of a potential vaccine because the false positive results to HIV tests undermined public confidence.

u/beholdachair is correct, and you are wrong- we can say you're wrong without "being a shill for globalists".

honest question- is there such a thing as a LIBERAL (D) RURAL COUNTY?

seems pretty universal to me that rural = conservative/self-sufficient, urban = "progressive"/welfare

there's plenty of alternatives but the problem is chicken-and-egg

content producers still push primarily to YT, and people care more about content than what platform is serving it

do pull people away from YT, content-producers need to stop publishing to it - but good luck convincing ENOUGH of them to do that

agree on ted

disagree on pence. he has proven himself to be an extremely loyal Vice President. Have not seen him waver once from the President's agenda. In every (daily) scandal he's been right there with President Trump time and again. At this point I have no reason to distrust him.

you use stubs that tear off the bottom of the ballot. So in the end, you have two pieces of paper to tally

  1. The ballot, anonymous
  2. The stub, not anonymous

Put them each into separate tally machines:

  1. The ballot counter; this tallies the votes as they come in
  2. The stub counter; this just counts the # of stubs

Mandate by law that both of the tally machines shall be disconnected from any networking devices of any kind.

Require poll workers to regularly (Every hour, or even every half hour, or assign a worker to ensure that they match at all times) check that the total stubs matches the total ballots.

FInally, assign a chain of custody to every object involved:

  • the ballots when intact, with Ds and Rs supervising the handling of all ballots, at all times- even if one of them has to go to the bathroom, they must get a member of their party to replace them while they leave their station
  • both counting machines
  • the ballot bin
  • the stub bin
  • any auxiliary equipment, such as USB sticks

Require that the counting machines remain in a locked container following poll close, inaccessible unless a government audit is instigated, in which case the chain of custody continues, always preserved.

Profit.

This isn't fucking rocket science. There is only one reason for things to be chaotic, and that is for someone (we all know it's the Democrats) to benefit from it.

"prove that trump didn't collude w/ russia"

is the same type of argument as

"prove that snowden didn't act on behalf of the CIA"

Edward Snowden, like all of us, is innocent until proven guilty- of all assertions, including your own.

my time is special (as should everyone's be) - you want me to look at a service record? link it yourself- you are, after all, the one making the argument here. otherwise, you haven't countered my argument, you're making someone else do your legwork.

further, simply stating that someone "worked for the CIA" is not in and of itself an assertion that someone acted on behalf of the CIA when they went rogue against the government itself.

proof of "at the behest of the CIA"? proof that he was actually acting under direct orders to expose this biggest mass domestic surveillance crime our government has ever committed?

so much disinformation in this thread. if you can't prove that claim, you're fake news

A collection capability which should have been made public from day 1 and has otherwise been used in surveillance of the entire US citizenry. That collection capability has been rightfully exposed, should be made legally impossible, and should be completely dismantled and destroyed.

Finally what is all this CIA talk? Do you have proof of this "at the behest of the CIA" stuff? Proof that he was acting on orders? lots of disinformation in this thread... "I wonder why?"

are you implying there is nothing we can agree on with our fellow citizens who vote democrat?

If you are, I disagree with that sentiment- i think they're crazy nonetheless (after all the DNC stands for nothing but that which gains them power in the short term), but we have lots of common ground. MSM and Uniparty just won't let us see it.

However, I'll gladly sit down and have a drink with a democrat (note, I'm not referring to elected Democrat Party members) to celebrate Snowden bringing an extremely important conversation to the forefront of American discourse.

"What does a pardon do for us" is not the question to be asking here. The question is, has Snowden been wronged by the Federal government in that he has been stranded in Russia and would otherwise have been hunted down (and likely killed)?

IMO, the answer to that question is yes, given that what he did was for the benefit of all US citizens. Namely, he showed us proof that our own government was spying on us in ways, and in scales, never before thought possible. For example, the govt is tracking every one of our phone calls - "but just the metadata!" (Nevermind that "metadata" is extremely broad and literally just means descriptive data.. descriptive of what? You could argue for example that a recorded phone call is "metadata" of a conversation... "just metadata" is bullshit).

Do you not think this was for the greater good that we all know of this? That other information was also leaked was inevitable given the breadth of all the criminal activity (within our own Fed) he was showing us.

Would you rather live in ignorance?

then fled to Russia

that wasn't his first choice but the US revoked is passport in Hong Kong leaving him with limited options iirc. I believe he wanted to get to Ecuador.

Pepe 13 points ago +16 / -3

Snowden exposed to all citizens of the United States (and yes, the world- that was inevitable) that their own government was spying on them, in complete secrecy, in ways and scales that were never before thought possible. Literally every phone call being tracked. "But it was just the metadata" was the only rebuttal the Fed could give.

How is this not patriotic? Would you prefer to live in ignorance?

In other words, do bad things with lots of people that do very little, that each person doing is not wrong in itself and they won't know what their little contribution is to the bigger picture of the crime

This is exactly what happened in the Ministry of Truth in Orwell's 1984.
