Rather than passing aid for Ukraine and strengthening our border, MAGA Republican Trumper Mike Johnson and his cult leader offer a bill to stop illegal aliens from voting.
Incidentally, it’s illegal today for non citizens to vote. This is a dumb stunt to distract dummies and credulous/lazy “journalists”
When you can’t legislate or pass laws for real problems then do it for things that don’t exist I guess; or something.
Kind of tough to be a MAGA Republican these days: everything you really want to do is either immoral, unethical, unpopular or some mix thereof, so all that remains is nothing or unicorns.
So, if you abort the unborn child, it will not have had an opportunity to ask for forgiveness and then what happens?
Purgatory if the Catholics are correct.
Have we not all learned by now that any statement made by TFG is more than likely a lie?
" Martians will not be allowed to drink at any Sheboygan bar on Tuesdays. There. We said it, and we’ll stand by our principles. "
Or, um, er, insurrectionists?
Mostly true, but at least in San Francisco, non-citizens can vote in school board elections. Here are the rules (below), and I’d like to note, there is NO requirement for an applicant to show documentation. (SF is a sanctuary city, as well.)
"To register as a non-citizen voter for the next Board of Education (School Board) election, you must be all of the following:
(1) A San Francisco resident who intends to remain so until the next Board of Education election;
(2) The parent, legal guardian, or caregiver of a child living in the San Francisco Unified School District (i.e. living in San Francisco);
(3) At least 18 years of age on Election Day (the next such date is November 5, 2024); and
(4) Not disqualified from voting under state law for imprisonment or mental incompetence.

It surprised the heck out of me, and I was impressed that it was answered correctly. Brian Hardzinski, the public radio producer formerly from Flower Mound, Texas, buzzed in first.
The category is “T.P.” for $1,000, and the clue is “It precedes ‘Memo’ in the title of a political news website.”
(Okay, so he’s a public radio producer so maybe not all that surprising, but still, it seemed like it would have been a tough clue for most contestants.)
One of the Puritans wrote, iirc, that “the floors of Hell are paved with the skulls of unbaptized infants”. But on the other hand the nutbars back then seemed to think that original sin only came into effect at birth, so Idunno.

Still, it’ll likely be a main theme of the 2025 race: Brad Schimel, a former state attorney general who is already running, opposes abortion rights.
Shows how old I am that I have a nostalgic fondness for the days when candidates for judgeships didn’t campaign based on already having decided how they would vote in future cases.
In MO we have the Missouri Plan. A non-partisan commission selects candidates for the governor to choose from to fill judicial vacancies. If the governor does pick a someone within 60 days then the commission picks a candidate to fill the position.
Then we get to the electing part. Once a jurist has served one year then they’re up for election. But judges don’t run like a regular candidate for political office. We vote to either retain, or dismiss. So there are not “political campaigning”, we the voter retain or dismiss.
Over the past couple of decades there are discussions on rulings by this judge or that judge. And there are a review of lawyers that have had cases before this or that judge up for retention speak if the judge is qualified or not. I usually listen to the local NPR station for analysis of this. Back in the day a co-worker would go through the newspaper, the physical newspaper, and read the different court cases and decisions. She’d keep of file on the good, the bad, and the should never ever be on the bench judges.
I’m pretty sure that there is no judge that “runs for a position on the bench”, at least in my part of the state.

Notice that those who oppose DEI are unsuccessful. DEI are the qualities that produce successful businesses.
Maybe the medium place?
