Voting records are generally public data. We could already find out whether people voted in two states.

Crossed with my post.  Yes, but are we doing this?  Has anyone made up an EDI for all the states, imported the data and written a query looking for this?  I'd be surprised.

I clicked on here thinking you'd be soliciting answers.

Actually I am.  I don't agree with everything this guy says.  I think he nails the fundamentals, such as the expectation that we all should have equally good outcomes and that this is even possible, but without critical analysis of how we're supposed to achieve that. 

Liberalism used to at least have a vision of some future utopia, and today it's based on nothing more than, "If it's America, it's evil.  If it's successful, it's evil (unless it's in the entertainment industry). If it's Western Civilization, it's evil. If it's Christian (or Judaism), it's evil. If it's white straight male, it's evil. If it's fossil fuel energy, it's evil," and so on, because these ideas are now woven into the culture so tightly the younger generations don't even question it, like the fish doesn't question the water.

I was a liberal as a young person when the vision was there.  I still am on many social issues. But when it came to wealth redistribution and economic collectivism, I questioned the logic of how this would actually work in the real world. No liberal could give me a convincing description of how it could end in anything but failure.  To this day they can't.  I always had trouble understanding why they cling to those beliefs despite this, but this video somewhat explains why. 

So maybe I'm soliciting thoughts on that. If you're a liberal and you believe for example, money should be taken from those who earn it and given to those who don't, how do you reconcile that with the natural human tendency to then stop working if what you earn is taken from you, and to stop working if support is just given to you?  The whole of society's productivity declines because incentive is taken away.  How do you NOT see that?  The answer in this video is, because you're brainwashed from the age of 5 to not think too hard about it.  I guess I'm wondering if you agree with that, or if not, what's your alternative explanation?

TWO good guys with guns.  Too bad one of them was fatally wounded.  But YAY for my fellow gun loving Texans.  We were in San Antonio yesterday, though not near that mall.  We went to see the Alamo.

I love stories like this; citizens standing up to criminal scum. 

When you allow yourself to hear opinions outside the echo chamber of stupidity that is the left, you discover that people who ACTUALLY know Donald Trump say he is far more comfortable talking to bricklayers and painters than he is bankers and stock brokers, because he spent his life actually working around construction projects, instead of going to dinners and talking about who actually work for a living.

As for doing what he talked about: New Trump White House Website Sets Agenda That Mirrors Campaign Pledges

Revised website features issue pages for energy policy, foreign policy, economic policy, expanding the military, bolstering law enforcement and rethinking trade

Instead of embarking on an apology tour and picking up an empty Nobel prize, like the fucking dog, Obama, Trump seems to be actually working. What a shock. A working guy that works, instead of a fucking pansy that talks.

Yes and this is why I have hope.  I'm loving this.

His message was everything is crap and only he can fix it....

That sounds very familiar. Like he was a Messiah or something.  Where have I seen this before.....?

Go fuck yourself.

Not that I necessarily think you should have said that to him, it is so refreshing to have a forum where that isn't filtered, censored, deleted, thread locked and banned.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

I can say this.   

Having moved an hour left, I missed it.  Turned it on just after the swearing in.
Still not used to this time zone.
