Oh and to address the drivers license thing. People who are here illegally in most states cannot get a driver's license. Even when a non citizen can get a license, at least here anyway, there is a specific designation and form filled out. So somebody who can get a license isn't registered to vote. It's not automatic if you're a citizen either.

What is the vision and final destination for the combat life of a wandering road warrior like Gable S.? Something like Hunger Games meets Mad Max meets Squid Games? A post-apocalyptic wasteland where the marginalized are forced to compete in sadistic, state-sponsored survival games for the amusement of a tyrannical water-hoarding elite?

I have a little inside info on this. Blaze will start at 133lbs for PSU and Davis will start at 141lbs for PSU. I don't normally get inside info, but I did this time. You're welcome.

I'm sensing a trajectory to Steveson's oeuvre. Next up: Rollerball.

Nothing like a cold chocolate milk after a hundred mile bike ride ... or say a 20 mile swim.

I agree I just know how often plans change for guys/teams

Which Democrat politician said their supporters should kill Republicans?

There are a lot of broad statements here. One major problem with our system is that each state has different requirements for voting in what is supposed to be a federal election. This should be standardized. I've yet to see a Republican support such standardization despite the fact it would really help identify eliminate cases of potential fraud. There's also an even easier fix to all those. All citizens with valid social security numbers should become automatically registered to vote when they turn 18. The government already has a list of every single person who is supposed to be able to vote, and for some reason, we decide not to use it? It's asinine. This is what Canada does and it works really well.

Yeah, Ragusin is going 41 for sure. My guess is Lemley will RS.

Is trump out there telling us to kill cory booker? is that what the sombrero was for... oh i get it it was a subliminal message to kill booker must go now...

no the difference is, left wingers are calling for others to hate or kill trump or other GOP supporters. maga is not saying anything about mormons.

Mmmmm. Now that sounds amazing

You can add them to mac and cheese if you're preparing it with a proper cheese sauce.

All totally fair points except you only ever apply this logic when it's a right-winger who commits the crime. You could equally find contradictions in the motives of supposed "leftist" shooters like Thomas Crooks or Robinson, neither of whom had strong leftist beliefs or ties to left-wing organizations. People do crazy things for all sorts of reasons. Murder is not logical. We shouldn't always expect a logical motive for either. Crooks was suffering a mental (potentially schizophrenic) breakdown leading up to his attempted murder. This guy apparently had severe PTSD. The guy who shot the ICE detainees had completely alienated all of his social connections after letting bizarre internet "edge-lord" mantra take over his life. Robinson also showed a lot of the same exposure to deep-internet, nihilist content. He engraved memes on the bullets. We may very well be entering the age of the internet-poisoned mass shooter. There are tons of these people out there with totally incoherent, detached-from-reality worldviews shaped by intense exposure to internet sub-cultures and rabbit holes. The QAnon guy who killed the mobster is an early example of this kind of thing. The internet is very bad for your brain, especially the brains of the young and elderly.

Run along to school today little Jimmy.

1. It happens occasionally but it's usually more of a mistake than something malicious. We had a Canadian citizen who voted illegally a few years back and I think she ended up getting probation and a fine. I don't think the few people who do this really understand what they're doing. But it's such an anamoly I would guess it's happened very few times. 2. I would guess there's a few ways this might happen. If somebody commits full on identity theft and registers that's one way, but then they've committed a host of other crimes so voting illegally is not the main problem. The other is oversight in the registration process, which even though mistakes are sometimes made, isn't really indicative of some widespread thing. Like any other large bureaucracy mistakes and oversights happen. 3. Statistically it is such a rare thing that trying to prevent this from ever happening wouldn't be efficient and would make it more difficult for people to register or vote. Like when Florida (I think) required people getting welfare to drug test. It cost more to do that than it did for the small numbers of people on welfare who used drugs cost the state. Which is why it got scrapped. 4. When it does happen, unless somebody is committing another crime like identity theft, it's pretty easy to find out. 5. Who's to say? The idea behind this post is flawed. For somebody here illegally there is no incentive to vote or even try to. Let's apply some logic here. Imagine you have crossed the border or arrived here and you have friends or family already here and you get a job washing dishes at a restaurant for minimum wage. The idea of your continued presence and ability to make money relies on your ability to not do anything that would attract attention to yourself. So putting down your name, address, and personal information on a form to submit to the government, where it is also clearly marked that doing so is against the law, seems like the kind of thing that would be an extremely bad idea. But suppose you aren't caught, maybe you got drunk and filled it out, and by some miracle it's not rejected by whatever local authority processes voter registration. Then the big day comes and you decide to go vote. Either you are possibly stupid enough to believe this is OK and nothing bad will happen, or you don't care about the consequences and think nothing bad will happen by showing up somewhere in person and making your presence known to some element of the government and think this is a great idea. I might understand if there was some incentive to vote. But there isn't. So unless it's a mistake, or somebody is really stupid or something, then it's not a regularly occurring thing.
