Progressives, part 3...

I’m not even going to get in the absurdity of the water/food regulations as I know u can’t provide any reason this was necessary and just kind of ignore it, but if it didn’t matter they wouldn’t do it. 

The reason is partisan operatives use it as an excuse to skirt laws and solicit voters while standing in line.  You can bring your own water.  Poll workers can provide anyone in line with water.  Can you provide any examples of voters dropping out of line because of thirst?

Can all of these things be overcome ? Sure. But in an extremely close election it could certainly matter. Overall as I have said I think it’s going to have the opposite effect and it’s going to cause a rally that has not been seen before to get voters out in GA.

In an extremely close election fraud matters too.  As for the latter part of your statement it negates everything you have said about the Ga law suppressing voters.

We anxiously await your promised repudiation of geeblock's points. Please wash over us that intelligence you have in such abundance. 

Looks like Majorspark did a fine job.

I have always said the effects wouldn’t be major. I was merely responding to those who said that Colorado had more stringent laws or as stringent laws as GA. They don’t

U can’t even admit that the Republican legislature believes these laws will benefit them in the next election.

It’s an unnecessary law

Yeah, cause they were dismissed because the evidence was lacking. They were all laughed out of court. 

Fraud did not happen in 2020. Full stop. 

100% false.  Helluva batting  average, though

Then what do you think about President Biden calling this law worse than Jim Crow?  How sick is it to use the true suppression of African American voting rights as a political tool?  Personally I find it quite disgusting.

The following is a lie told by President Biden quoted from his inaugural address:

 

Politics need not be a raging fire destroying everything in its path.

Every disagreement doesn’t have to be a cause for total war.

And, we must reject a culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured.

How do I know what other people in another state believe unless they outright say it?

Are we mind readers now?

That's interesting.  But before I condemn her, I'd like to know if she or her wife had money before. 

Certainly wouldn't be the first time professional agitators became multi-millionaires.  Then you see she got a deal from Warner Bros, and you have to wonder if that's not almost a bribe or just wealthy liberals using shareholder money to fund pet causes (like the Netflix deal with Obama).

Oh I’m not condemning her, I think it’s great. I’m all for people profiting off of wokeness.

She is horrible, agreed. Not sure people donated to her questionable cause, but she definitely made money on grifting as a black conservative, whether she actually believes in it or not.

Last time I checked, a conservative grifter didn’t have followers out burning down businesses and killing people

Here come the riots! Not sure how race had anything to do with the shooting but when has that stopped anyone?

You can be denied service for not wearing a mask because places are "private businesses"......I dont see how this is any different

Theoretically masks, smoking, yelling "fire" are things that affect the health and safety of others.  

Personally, once I got a response that read "because of our Christian beliefs" I wouldn't have read any further - I'd have just crossed the place off my list.

But being stopped because it's illegal to have air fresheners hanging from the mirror sure seems like a legal "justification" for profiling.

Otherwise, again, you have one's personal choice to resist/evade arrest contributing to a mistake by an officer resulting in a fatal shooting.  Long past time to start acknowledging that, yes, the victim shares some of the blame.
