Just a few of the many. There is really no point in going into detail as you are too busy running your multinational conglomerates to read any facts.[/QUOTE]You are kidding. Right this is a disgrace.
Why should having to show identification at a polling place be an issue? It's not like there's anybody who doesn't have an IDee, is there? In the USA, you need IDee to drive, bank, fly, get a credit card, what else? Rent anything, open a utility account, get a marriage license, show while being arrested. How many people are there living their lives never doing anything that needs to show identification? Or any American who doesn't have a social security number? Asking for an IDee seems like a total non-issue, yet it's being politicized. Why?

[QUOTE=Canada;2547218]Are you saying Biden did not reverse Trumps tariffs and sanctions so he can take credit?[/QUOTE]No. If you read the articles, you'll see they sanctioned officials who hadn't been dinged before. That sounds a bit like foreign policy. No?
[QUOTE=Canada;2547216]You are kidding. Right this is a disgrace.[/QUOTE]This is how big business executives argue their cases? Sniffing a brandy and smoking a cigar and all nodding to "this is a disgrace that we have to pay tax, sob sob"!

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2547199]Nice loaded question that assumes the veracity of Trump's 28,368th lie. Plenty of democracies have mail in voting. That would include the US, the UK, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Poland, Canada, and Australia. No reason is required in the UK excluding Northern Ireland, nor in Germany or Switzerland. The US has had successful mass mail in voting in a number of states for many years and before the pandemic. Access in Canada is substantial and ever increasing. There's a number of top tier democratic heavy hitters on that list, so you're "almost" gets you nothing even in horseshoes.

Bottom line is that you are crying day in and day out in a monger forum about an election you lost five months ago. You had your chance to prove all this fraud in court but were only continually laughed at, all the way to the Supreme Court. The people said no to your wuss draft dodger hiding in an alpha male shell. Man up, accept it, and try to do better next time. All this lying and crying and shaking your finger at Jews is repulsive and unAmerican.[/QUOTE]Just a cursory check would reveal that mail-in voting is a common practice in at least 10 FIRST-WORLD countries besides the US.

I am not going to take up pages of the board. These are every one I have looked up so far.
All allow postal voting to a greater or lesser degree.
The reality is that Republicans don't want postal voting because they want to disincentivise voting by limiting polling stations in democratic areas hoping that long queues will dissuade people from voting.
I personally think that postal voting during a pandemic made a lot of sense. I don't have a problem with restricting postal voting to picking the ballots up from an official office or post office or the like and presenting The same ID that is lawfully required. However I think there should be minimum standards for early voting and the number of polling stations open per population density and travel to reach the nearest booth so that people are not required to excessively queue or travel in order to vote.[/QUOTE]Try to read, buddy. Those countries you listed provide postal voting for citizens living *ABROAD* who have no way of getting to a poll, or in special individual cases for eligible voters which must be arranged well in advance (ie sick housebound people).
What they do not do is spam tens of millions of ballots out by regular mail to whoever, wherever, and accept them back in whatever fashion (ballot harvesting by political operatives; so-called "dropboxes" which can be filled by anyone) with no proof whatsoever that the person who ticked the boxes is the person it was sent out to. Which is how you get the count stopped at midnight in democrat cities in states where Trump is way ahead, and then suddenly hundreds of thousands of "ballots" show up at 4 am, 96% of them for Biden.
It's bullshit. For a secure election, the vast majority of votes must be cast in person in secure polling stations after showing ID. The votes must then be counted on site immediately after the close of voting, with observers from both political parties permitted to watch everything. It is not rocket science. Unfortunately none of that happened in the laughable fraud of a 2020 election.
Oh, and now the democrats and fake media are having a meltdown about Georgia securing future elections from the same kind of fraud. It's hard to tell among the oceans of bullshit they spew but it seems their argument is that black people are too stupid to get a photo ID and too lazy to wait in line to vote. Sounds pretty racist to me.
[QUOTE=Bblob69;2547016]
Your question why I am "still blathering about Sidney Powell" is a good one, because it made me realize that I shouldn't make assumptions about a person's cognitive abilities. There are many interesting characters out there who believe that the presidential election was stolen, and ponder how that was possible. One theory was that the voting machines were rigged via some Venezuelan hack. The person pushing that theory started to backpedal though, and now says that reasonable people would recognize that she pulled that story out of her ass. Another poster on this forum here postulates that the supreme court as the last safety net failed, because the mostly conservative judges were afraid the crazy Democrats would egg on black people to burn down the country. [/QUOTE]Those are two completely different and separate points. Obviously your brain has difficulty differentiating between things, which is an indicator of extreme low IQ. I have never mentioned the voting machine theory. However, the black riots of last year were clearly a thing, despite the best efforts of the democrats and the fake news media to cover them up. Indeed, no less a person than Kamala Harris. The former low level San Francisco assistant district attorney who sucked and fucked the married San Francisco mayor 30 years her senior, Willie Brown, into giving her her big political break. Encouraged these riots, which caused billions of dollars of damage and lost revenue. It was therefore clearly in the minds of the Justices when they took the cowardly and laughable option in refusing to hear a major case brought by 20 of the states of the Union.
It is clearly not in your mind. Very little is.
[QUOTE=PVMonger;2547037]Of the countries to which you alluded.
1. How many have made voting day a national holiday?
2. How many offer an extremely easy way, a the federal level, to obtain a voter ID?
3. How many have elections controlled at the federal level?
Answer. All of them.
But Republicans would never stand for that type of nonsense in the US.[/QUOTE]No link to proof of any of that. Many countries do not make voting day a national holiday. And even if they did, it would discriminate against people working in private companies that remain open on public holidays, and in favour of people working for the government. The polls open very early and close very late, so anyone who wishes to vote can find the time.
You don't need a federal photo ID, you can get a state one. You need photo ID for most simple tasks of life and they are very easy and cheap to obtain. This idea that blacks are apparently too stupid, broke and lazy to get one seems very racist to me.
All of this is a diversion and non-sequitur of course. As the excellent article to which I linked made clear, the vast majority of democracies around the world do not permit or have very strict controls on mail-in voting. This is because mass mail-in voting is obviously fraudulent, as was the case in the 2020 US presidential "election".
[QUOTE=Paulie97;2547199]Nice loaded question.....Plenty of democracies have mail in voting. .[/QUOTE]A misleading statement. Some democracies permit mail-in voting *IN EXTREMELY RARE CIRCUMSTANCES*, for example for citizens living abroad, or for people who are so sick they cannot physically leave their homes. These have to be arrange months in advance, with photo ID, and constitute a tiny minority of total votes, the vast majority of which are cast in person with ID at polling stations.
What they do not do is what happened in the US election (unconstitutionally, as it was done without the consent of the state legislatures) which is spam out tens of millions of ballots to whoever, wherever, and accept them back in whatever way: harvested by political operatives; from "dropboxes" in which anyone can stuff anything; in pallets of 300,000, 96% for Biden at 4 am; and none of them with any proof that they were filled in by the person to whom they were supposedly sent.
Just accept it, buddy. Mass mail-in voting is fraudulent. You're trying to argue water is dry.

[QUOTE=Canada;2547168]I guess you also could not answer the question either like all the other socialists.
I guess the answer is their are none.
Name one policy the Biden has put in his first 100 days that helped small business or middle class in USA? Name one foreign policy administered in first 100 days by Biden?
Is your answer the same as the rest of the socialists here? None!![/QUOTE]Of course they cannot answer, so they use diversion and non-sequiturs.
This so-called "infrastructure" bill is a classic democrat / fakenews con. They call it "infrastructure" because to most people that means roads, bridges, etc. But as you have correctly pointed out, only a tiny fraction of it goes to actual infrastructure. The vast majority goes to left-wing bullshit such as green energy climate change nonsense; affirmative action welfare handouts for democrat shithole cities, etc.
This has been the democrat / media playbook for a long time. They tried to push AOC's bullshit so-called "Green New Deal" (shutting down the economy and bankrupting the country, and concentrating wealth and power in the hands of Washington, under the excuse of the fake climate change scam) but to their credit the American people rejected it. So now they push the same anti-freedom crap but call it "infrastructure", and of course the fake media goes along with it.
This is also why they have ramped up the censorship on social media, and are trying to get Fox pulled off the air. They can't debate openly; they can't allow people to openly challenge their fake socialist bullshit scams and cons. If they are honest, they get BTFO'd. Hell, even with the censorship and fake news they still lose elections, hence the need for mail-in voter fraud.
[QUOTE=Canada;2547218]Are you saying Biden did not reverse Trumps tariffs and sanctions so he can take credit?[/QUOTE]Come on Canada, what kind of answer is this? That's not how it goes. There are lots of people reading this thread, and they want to be entertained. To make sure we are on the same page, here is the playbook, step by step.
The game starts with a Trumper posting a statement that makes people believe he is borderline demented. The equivalent of something like '2+2 = 5'. So your start was actually pretty good. Then someone who is capable of independent thought and reasoning says something equivalent to 'no no no, 2+2 is not equal to 5'. And this is where the disconnect is Canada: at this point the Trumper is supposed to fly off the handle, and supposed to post a response that makes no particular sense but abundantly uses terms like 'radical left', 'fake media', 'socialism', 'low IQ', 'Hillary', etc (extra marks for a good conspiracy theory or two). And then we go from there.
Hope this helps, you really dropped the ball there. If you need some good practical examples to tune your game: I really enjoy playing 'Trumpie' with your friend ChrisP. He seems to have a few anxiety issues, but he has no filter, and he surely is on fire this morning.
[QUOTE=ChrisP;2547319]No link to proof of any of that. Many countries do not make voting day a national holiday.

It shows that most countries hold voting on a weekend day or voting day is a holiday. Yes it is Wikipedia so there might be errors but the net result is that the US is in the minority re: what day the vote is held.
Your ID comment shows how out-of-touch you are. Racist, too.
If mail-in voting is fraudulent, there must be proof, right? How many of trump's 60-some-odd "election fraud lawsuits" were thrown out because they offered NO proof? All of them. And many of those dismissals were done by Republican judges. But maybe you are smarter than trump and his legal team. Maybe you have the proof that they didn't. Oh wait! The lawsuits didn't get thrown out because they lacked proof, they got thrown out because the deep state satanic pedophiles didn't want trump to win.
The upshot is that the only proof that exists is the "the election was fraudulent because I say so" proof. Just because 74 million idiots believe the big lie doesn't mean the lie is true.
Get over it. Trump lost so stop whining.
