Aren't you the Democratic Coast Guard who supports the Democratic party while they ironically voted down a bill to pay the coast guard(mind you the bill consisted of nothing else besides funding the coast guard) during the shutdown.


Kind of speculation, don't remember if you're in the Coast Guard or not but you talked a lot about them.



Workers of the world unite. Paying a single group while holding everyone else’s pay hostage creates division and makes it easier for people like Trump to win. Fuck playing the games of capitalist leeches.

As you being a moderate.

What witch-hunts are the politically right engaged in? I've seen nothing but witch-hunts stemming from the left, or, leftist ideas?


I'm a keep power in check kinda guy and don't get into the witch hunt thing

I like balanced governments and since Politicians rarely face the system of the people I don't really care if they investigate each other mainly because I think the checks and balances for people with money and power work

People with money and power not only have the resources to fight but to hold others accountable if the investigations are "witch hunts" through politics and the legal system they can afford to use to their advantage

The system works for the rich, it fails the poor

That's not true, the only non-paid military group during the shutdown was the Coast Guard. The Republicans said that shouldnt have happened, and pushed to have the Coast Guard get paid. Democrats voted it down.

Not saying that I really agree with the shutdown to begin with.
However, I also don't agree with the Democrats not trying to compromise.

since 1996, so thats 58k over 12 election cycles, or an average of less than around 4800 per election cycle.

dont get me wrong, those are only the non-citizen voters who were idenfitifed, so that's only the tip of the iceberg, and I'm all for staying vigiliant when it comes to non-citizens committing voter fraud. but nonetheless, we shouldnt overhype or sensationalize stuff by omitting crucial information.

Reality check: The Texas secretary of state compiled a list last week of 95,000 registered voters — 58,000 of whom voted in an election between 1996 and 2018 — that provided some documentation indicating they were not a citizen when obtaining an ID and advised counties around the state to check the citizenship status of these individuals, per the Texas Tribune. The Tribune notes that the state specifically flagged the names as "WEAK" matches and noted that they "could have become naturalized citizens" over the 22-year period.


Fake news.

To the people propping this story up as more than it is.

They compared total green card holders since 96 to the voter registration list. It did not determine who was a US citizen and who was not. They just compared the records. Which means anyone that became naturalized and voted would still be counted under a previous green card holder. Another thing to note to the people pushing voter ID because of this story, a voter ID would not have prevented the DMV from registering these individuals to vote if they weren't supposed to because they provided legal paperwork.

Also, it's election fraud not voter fraud, they're not the same thing.

Tip of the iceberg, pft.

USCG should be moved under their new dpt funded by the DOD, imo.
I got really pissed when Schumer said what he did... but I disagree with the shutdown happening in the first place.
Both sides continued to work against each other, we got caught in the middle.
That being said, Schumer has no idea what he’s talking about or how the USCG works vs the civilian contractors or even the TSA.
We will get court martialed if we don’t show up, they won’t.
Do I like him? Not really.
Do you like every person in the Republican Party..?
Probably not.
For example: I wanted Sanders and McCain to come together as one person.
But I respect McCain more than sanders.

I’m very lazy on this site and will put 1/4 effort into anything I post. Just FYI

In california they legalized ballot harvesting. Its amazing the lengths democrats will go to break the law. If trends continute, texas will get worse and worse.
