I don't know what this kid was thinking but his dad clearly did not need his help to win the election.

 

 

 

This causes me to question Youngkin’s parenting skills 

because his 17-year-old son should have known that

he was not eligible to vote.

 

And I wonder who the kid would have voted for.

Here's the last sentence in case you missed it. You may not be following what I am saying and that's fine. You aren't obligated to understand nor am I to explain.

 

 

@Delano

 

 

Do you know whether you are an OCD? Someone who

suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder.

 

Did you mean to say,

 

"It seems you stopped reading before the last sentence,

when responding to my post."

 

I can assure you that I read your entire post, but chose

to respond to the segment that I excerpted.  

 

I would also like to invite you to partake in Mzuri's 

Advanced Tutorial for Writing with Clarity.

 

Let me know if you are interested so that I can squeeze

you into my schedule.

 

Don't worry, you aren't obligated to enroll. 

 

Nor are you obliged to divulge if you are OCD. 

 

Because I respect your privacy.  

 

And I hope you like my sentences.

In addition these two sentences don't really work together

 

 

 

ICYMI, normal grammar, sentence, and punctuation 

rules do not apply to informal discussion forums.

 

It is more about communication than decorum.

 

So there is no need for the sentence police.

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS:

 

The long-standing practice of allowing attorneys to dismiss prospective

jurors without giving a reason has come under intense criticism after a

nearly all-white jury was picked to decide whether three white men are

guilty of murder for shooting and killing Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man

who was jogging though a neighborhood in Georgia.

 

How the Arbery trial got a nearly all-white jury

IN YESTERDAY'S NEWS FROM THE DAILY MAIL:

 

Judge in Arbery trial accuses defense of 'intentional discrimination'

after selecting just ONE Black juror for case against three men accused

of murdering the jogger in county where 55% of people are Black

 

Judge accuses defense of intentional discrimination

 

 

************************************************************************************

 

 

 

 

 

 

************************************************************************************

 

This discussion is about the trial of the white supremacists that 

murdered an innocent Black man while he was out for a jog,

minding his own business.  

 

Their defense for killing him was that they thought he was a 

burglar, running away from some imaginary crime.

 

For the record, I hope that this scum are found guilty and

executed in a most painful fashion.

only the aspects of this trial and topics that are

closely related, that would be great.)

The ACLU has an annual budget of about  $300 million.  That money comes from somewhere.

 

 

 

I was reading about it at Wikipedia before I posted.

 

Most ACLU funding came from philanthropies, such as the Garland Fund.

@Mzuri, I'm sure already know what I'm going to type but I'll do it anyway...follow the money.

 

Lawyers get paid a king's ransom to defend people they know are guilty. 

 

 

Yes, but I don't think the ACLU gets paid.

 

Perhaps they get some of the proceeds in a contingency situation,

but I don't believe they require upfront fees. 

 

Just a good sob story.

 

Regardless, they should be representing AMERICANS, not some

riffraff that jumped our borders.

 

The courts should not have allowed this lawsuit to be filed.

The jury has been selected for the Armaud Arbery case and the makeup is 11 white, 1 black:

I could have sworn we were in 2021 and not 1951.  Same shenanigans.  

 

 

I read in the news that the judge admonished the defense 

for selecting only one Black person, since that county 

consists of 50% Blacks.

 

Expect riots if these people get away with murdering an 

innocent person who was out for a jog.

 

They should all be executed.

This is actually the settlement of a lawsuit that was filed by

the ACLU on behalf of some illegal aliens.

 

The ACLU is the AMERICAN Civil Liberties Union so why are

they representing foreigners.  How do illegals have any rights

as Americans.  

 

It should be unlawful for them to have standing to file any type

of lawsuit against our government, since they broke the law by

crossing into our nation, they have no business being here, and

I wouldn't pay them 50¢. 

 

If they wanted to keep their families together, they should have 

stayed in their home countries until they could enter into the 

U.S. legally, like normal law-abiding people.  They should have 

been jailed and/or deported.

 

I have a feeling that the DOJ and Biden are settling this lawsuit 

in order to have something else to blame on Trump.

 

But Trump would not have rolled over for these people the way  

that spineless, befuddled Biden is doing.  Even dummycrats

should be outraged by this preposterous settlement.

Thank you for sharing this article link.

 

But my Crypto miner is not running

from my computer CPU or any GPU

system. 

 

It is something completely different.

 

I found a system that doesn't run hot, 

doesn't make noise, and doesn't use 

a whole bunch of electricity.  

 

Once I get it going, I will provide more

@MzuriOoooooh shut up. You're full of malice and insanity and distortions. I'm not interested in your bitchin or your skewed world view. Waa Waa Waa! The sky is falling! Duck, Chicken Little! Nobody is more kooky than you and your silly playground mentality.   Anything bad or inconvenient that happens to you is well deserved. I'm doing just fine. Since you have all the answers just sit tight and let the bad ol Democrats implode and the wonderful party of trump take over then you and your fellow yahoos can live happily ever after in your alternate reality. Until that time, pace the floor in your asylum and pop your pills and spam this site with your innocuous blather.

Biden has redeemed himself by his diversified picks for cabinet posts; that and the fact that he settled for being second in command to a black president. 

 

 

 

 

 

Redeemed?

 

Diverse?  

 

Whatever.

 

If you like having a presidential administration

filled with a bunch of radical, cooky, nut jobs, 

that is great.  

 

You have the right to your warped opinions.

 

But that is not my preference and I would not let 

those “people” mow my lawn.

 

Second in command is all Biden should ever have 

been, especially after Obama said he just mucks 

everything all up.

 

I hope you are enjoying your higher prices, supply

shortages, loss of Constitutional rights, and all 

the other crap that has been foisted on us.

There you go again re-writing history to fit your own agenda.  

 

Everybody knows the Democrats are the party of the Klan.

 

Excerpt from The Cambridge Guide to African American History

 

Your current leader is a segregationist who called Black 

people “super predators.”  Biden has made so many racist 

remarks over his 50 year career it is nauseating.  That old

befuddled fool is as racist as they come.

 

And his overseer, Obama, with his purple lips and his giant

ears, ain’t hardly cool.  Looking like nerdy Urkel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feckless Biden is denying he would pay the border 

jumpers that much money.  

 

Biden DENIES report he's giving $450,000 to migrants

No early voting or they need to be processed the day of elections before polls close.

 

 

 

I don't have a problem with early voting because I've

done that myself.  When I was working fulltime and I

did not want to stand in line on election day, I would

vote a few days early.  Texas has had this option for 

several years.  

 

As to mail in ballots, I agree, they should be mailed

to arrive before election day with reasonable time for 

them to be counted.  They shouldn't be postmarked 

on election day, where they arrive and get counted

several days later.  

 

That is the sort of mess that happened during the last

presidential election, and why most people don't have

confidence that, that election was on the level.

 

The fact that the postal workers unions endorsed

Biden added another layer of shadiness to the deal.  

Postal workers have been convicted of destroying 

mail, throwing it in the trash, taking it home, etc. 

Postal workers should be required to remain

neutral if they are going to handle ballots.  

 

There should be tighter restrictions on dropboxes 

and people shouldn't be allowed to harvest ballots

either.

 

For a nation that goes around the world to monitor 

how other countries run their elections, our own

elections processes are a shameful mess.
