A message from Lindsey Graham:


I think this happens organically.  You don't marry and stay with someone with polar opposite views.

Ha!  But seriously... who is marrying someone (and staying with them) that has different political ideals?

I expect there will be some husbands sleeping on couches for a while, if they try to follow the advice in that "brothers..." tweet. 

And yes, there are "mixed marriages," ideologically.  I've known several, and I know they aren't all that rare.  Usually, there are enough agreements on basic principles that the disagreements can survive as humorous banter or at least mutual deference.

It's hard for me to believe.  I know a couple who grew up in New Jersey. I worked with the guy, he's a democrat.  They got married, moved to rural PA. She got into guns.  Now they're voting Trump.  I know it's not the husband's idea, but he has to at least agree with his wife.

No, he doesn't.

And that's what he says out loud, Kam, but you have no idea what he does in the privacy of the voting booth (assuming he uses one, which I would in that circumstance).

Of course, a national passport standard photo ID card would sort out who's who, who is a US citizen and who is not.

"passport standard ID card" - whatever that means.

They are putting an unscalable fence around the famous superfund site on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. that’s just about to be put under new management.

"unscalable"

Mexico is paying for it.

US taxpayers are

Oh no he doesn't...that's the first step in becoming a doormat.

Happy wife happy life.

Happy wife happy life is all very nice, and a man should strive to make his wife happy.
But, happiness is a two way street, the wife should also strive to make her husband happy.
This of course would include not bullying him into doing anything...like voting the way she wants him to, for example.
Bullying is "domestic violence".

You have to provide the same documentation you do to get a passport. They're not the type you get "off a corn flakes packet".
Birth Certificate, marriage certificate etc, driving licence etc...official govt documents.

A federal judge rejected a bid by Republican activists to invalidate 127,000 votes in the most populous county in Texas.

“For lack of a nicer way of saying it, I ain’t buying it,” U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen said at a hearing Monday in Houston, rejecting the request by Republican activists because of lack of standing.

He shouldn't have to go around saying out loud that he supports Trump if he doesn't, and votes Democrat.

Found another cousin of Larry. He lost his job, but like Larry a great student of history: https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=uh3_news_vert_gs&p=how+not+to+reference+the+holocaust#id=2&vid=949bfbfdf208056325bb1f337b9d8f50&action=click

Of course, Josh won't ban Larry, though Larry is on record saying he did it deliberately and willfully.  Larry keeps his job at this media outlet.

What's the matter, Josh? If kid or red did that, willfully and deliberately misused the Holocaust to demonize a political opponent, you'd be thinking of banning them, if not having done so, already.

Maybe you don't have the stones to do what's right?

People have been suspended here for far less egregious commentary.


Bitch, please.

I almost feel as is I should pay rent for the space I’m occupying in your head.

Fuck off, bigot.


Weren’t we supposed to watch who we told to fuck off?

I’m so confused... heh

 

You are seriously confused, and by many things.


You must be a Christian.

Sure am.

My family used to live in an intentional Christian community.

One of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

You're on the doorstep of a ban in my book.  If you don't like what someone has to say, put them on ignore.

Gee, so sorry, Kam. But, please go back and do a search on "Fuck Off" and who tends to use it here the most.

Guess who is at the top of the list?

Hint: Starts with "L".

Goddamn right!

I gives them to those who earns them, so


FUCK OFF! et Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.

Crazy how some at MSNBC insist on reporting only the polling that has Biden way ahead.

They should know there is a faction that will not vote if they think the election in their state is won.

"I also know that if today I refuse to hate Jews, or anybody else, it is because I know how it feels to be hated. I learned this from Christians, and I ceased to practice what the Christians practiced.

The crisis taking place in the world, and in the minds and hearts of black men everywhere, is not produced by the star of David, but by the old, rugged Roman cross on which Christendom's most celebrated Jew was murdered. And not by Jews."


--James Baldwin

Guess you better rethink your decision, Lawrence.
