This is obviously part of a much broader, Republican-led nationwide effort to restrict and suppress voting, disenfranchise Americans, sow distrust, and grant Republicans more control over our election system, all in the name of "election integrity."

By leveraging Trump's "big lie" and the stream of election fraud propaganda, conspiracies, and misinformation that followed to promote unnecessary solutions to fabricated problems. They've convinced millions of disgruntled supporters that Democrats have compromised our election system.

This is the claim now: undocumented immigrants are voting, and that Democrats, particularly Biden, are encouraging it, even though some of these places are VA centers.

There's a narrative in conservative circles that immigrants are being pushed to register to vote when they sign up for any benefits. Trump's allies allege this is happening.

The reality is, anyone applying for benefits is asked if they want to register to vote. However, if you are not a citizen, you cannot use that application to register, because you have to prove U.S. citizenship.

It's election fraud, interference, and subversion to combat conspiracies of election fraud... period.

There's a pattern where Republicans jump to conclusions about a stolen election, and when facts contradict these conclusions, they create conspiracies and rationalizations to double down. This is the conservative modus operandi.

Facts don't matter to them; their prejudices and delusions guide their thinking. In their minds, anything is justified because they believe the election was stolen. They won't be convinced otherwise, so it's up to Republicans, who have been pandering to these grievances, to act. Unfortunately, this action often results in widespread voter suppression under the guise of protecting elections from fabricated threats.

Aaand moreover, propaganda and rhetoric from Trump and prominent Republicans who have embraced the stolen election conspiracy are empowering right-wing zealots to intimidate voters at polling places. Some even consider becoming election or poll workers to "stop the steal."

This is happening nationwide, particularly in densely populated, Democrat-leaning areas.

This effort gained momentum after the election and has continued, with few Republicans or conservatives acknowledging it. Most believe that these Trump loyalists are justified in passing sweeping "election integrity" laws that undermine, rather than uphold, the integrity of our elections.

History will compare this era in American politics to the years before Nazi Germany.

Multi CDN integration is a thing. And fuck CF. Unlimited means unlimited. Stop trying to lie to your customers and change the rules.

If the IP's were an issue, then they wouldn't have offered to make the issue go away with $$$.

To be frank, this is the best takeaway from the article.

They said the quiet part out loud... again.

I want to argue with you but...

I love when politicians casually talk about getting rid of journalists. It's also ironic as she was a "journalist" once.

I give up

English is weird tbh

Good?

Creating a mucj larger dl. What a dick.

Keep telling yourself that.

Just as one example: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/sep/09/x-twitter-bots-republican-primary-debate-tweets-increase

Use of Twitter in the US alone has slumped by more than a fifth since Elon Musk bought the site. 23% less usage is a big drop in general, let along from a single country.

So now it is similar to the dead internet where a fair amount of engagement is fake. I logged on a few weeks back and I had dozens of comments and messages from Stacys, Jessicas, Amandas, Jessicas, and Laura's. Funny how I attract only women with those names.

If they loose 2024, they will simply rebrand to Project 2029

Hooah

Fuck off scammer

4 or 5 other times it was offered and every time it was shot down by the PA because either it wasn't from the river to the sea or all jews have to leave.

It was never about sharing, it was about keeping it all to themselves.

Sure starting to feel that way. For now, I'll just wait for the appeals.

You saying Israel killed him is like saying Palestine committed Oct. 7th's terrorist attack.

Israel didn't kill the guy, a lone Israeli student did. This is one of those times when facts and nuance matter.

Hand-jobs for progression!

Very good questions!

I use a VPN and they block me most days. I uninstalled the app and said fuqit.

And reads like AI as 90% of every paragraph begins the same way.

Fuxk off scammer

This is closer to the facts. The US government just doesn't want any other government having our info. They called dibs.

Another issue is the algorithm they use. China can literally control what we see.

Clearly 🙃

Fuck off scammer

Random opinion: Ive never liked gold personally.

The problem with solid gold being a currency is even the smallest amount of gold that could be carried in small enough amounts to be used as currency would be a coin. A solid gold coin is roughly $2.5K.

You could break it up but you still have $625 pieces.

If we ever need to use gold to trade for food, you are looking at some expensive eggs.

That was in the 70's, he was killed by a student, not the government.

And the PA, including Yasser Arafat, have turned it down 4 or 5 times. Yasser Arafat turned it down last time in 2002/2004(?). They have never taken it seriously.

The mods and adm8ns using all bots for everything now and the ads.

I also got suspended for 3 days for harassing a bot by replying "Hahaha" to an automated message from a r/teslalounge automod telling me I'm banned because I commented in another sub making fun of the Cyber Truck.

Whem laughing at bots is harrasment, its time to run. Reddit is a joke now.

It isnt about past data, it's about current data and trends. It's also about a foreign government controlling what another government's citizens see through an algorithm.

Hahaha, fair.

Though, according to Statutory Instrument 113/1993, the Irish and English markings can be used on their own, or in conjunction with each other:

The problem is that Gaeilge (Gaelic) is the national language and it would simply cost twice the amount to paint Bus Lane underneath Lána Bus and the Irish government is cheap af just like most governments. And lazy.

I have ADHD and also keep all of my lights on. My partner hates it. 😔

This seems like a good post for a math sub for sure.

Dang

Oh, 100%. Gold is perfect for people that wish to avoid the stock markets. I even have a few coins myself.

I just find it ironic that if we ever needed to use our gold as a curreny, we would be fucked.
