I dont generally respond to you, but find it entertaining, jester-eze.
Are you ready? They are citizens. Our tax laws, governing them, say. " Dear Citizens: You do not have to pay taxes."
But it remains, court jester, that they (the non-paying citizens you refer to?) are citizens. So, they vote. Aliens should not. They should not vote about my family's f ...[text shortened]... ut then so are the Coyote chasing the Roadrunner cartoons, but,,,,,they do get boring after a while.

This is stupid, even for you.

I'm a bit busy, but please comment on how you dems want to federalize elections, so that we will all be up to speed.
After, what, 259 years, it is time for the dems to step up and Federallize elections. We get to live in that very year!!!!! You have to to be proud.
Do y'all know about Biden in GA today. Backing Abrams for governor (She will win), but she cl ...[text shortened]... Your people are sickening . This word should be banned from the Forum and Russ should kick me off!

Have you ever read the Constitution? It specifically allows Congress the power to regulate Federal elections:

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

Article I, Section 4

Are there ANY other countries that allow non-citizens to vote?
Are there any countries that don't have border controls and let anyone in and support them with free money/food/schooling/medical care?
Are there any other countries that tax their citizens and send money to the United States?
Asking for a friend who says America is racist and evil.

Can any of you wish-washy libs respond as adults to these points. Like, what countries?
You wont. I just get so upset and frustrated!😖

Why should anybody reply seriously to questions that were not asked seriously?

He has posted 3 great serious brain teasers which would be interesting to delve into. He was serious when he asked them, how could it appear otherwise?
Why do libs such as yourself convolute everything that is presented on the Forum. It is a great place to vent,, and to learn, but you fellers put it to waste with silliness. I myself avoid silly, though I do temper my thoughts with some humor to offset much of the drollness and irrelevance of many posts.
We could write about Jan 6, though none of us are on the committee looking at each fact, meaning anything we type would be wasted. Y'all typed ad nauseum about the things Trump was accused of, but they were proven bogus. So you wasted space.
So, why type about Jan 6. Me, I will await the outcome, and go play golf. Or, ponder the three questions above. Could you?

Scotland extended the right to vote to all legal residents, including refugees.

Now shut up.

Wow.
They also gave 16 year olds voting rights.
That should be an indication of how ill-conceived the new law is.
So 16 year old Africans/Mexicans/whatever, can come to Scotland and vote?
Wow.

Cliff, you are sort of new to the forum, but yes we are talking to people that believe in these things, quite communal, like hippies of the 60’s. they are collectivist, Marxist and socialist. I don’t see communism yet but of course it will come. I do humor because it’s so sad, trying to keep it entertaining,
because what they are saying is not very
entertaining, it breaks my heart.
They will not answer our pointed questions in inquiring how they can think like this, because they are either embarrassed or don’t have an answer. They are all about emotion. I don’t think there’s a businessman there in the bunch. That may have something to do with it. Some believe that a restaurant, at the end of the day, should split all of the profits with the people that work there. That is not the mindset of someone who is an entrepreneur. This country was built on entrepreneurship. Hope you, and they, might get my drift.
