    Clinton, more than anyone, has been treated unfairly by the MSM. The NYT and all of the MSM focused on her email server for months, and it was on the top pages for weeks. Trump, by comparison, barely registered on the top page for... too many issues to name...

    This narrative that Trump is treated unfairly is false. Everyone is treated unfairly, but Trump has had the most advantage among all. That might simply be due to him "flooding" the zone with so much crap that the MSM is just "meh" about them on average.

    I also think it's so strange that the loudest critics of MSM's "unfair" coverage are perfectly happy to get their news from social media, where content is routinely manipulated, politicians' words are stripped of context, and video clips are chopped up to paint the worst possible picture. Compared to the brutal treatment politicians get on social media, MSM's coverage looks almost angelic in its restraint.

    The idea that "the media" is out to get Trump is absolutely ****ing comical

    Exactly. The same ones saying the media are out to get Trump are the ones posting bogus stories about Walz, Haitian immigrants, crime rates, illegal aliens being brought here to vote in the presidential election, etc.

    Many of them haven't seen the debates, the interviews with either Harris or Trump, but will believe and repost the edited clips with editorial, click bait, cheerleading headlines and text. In fact they will litter and spam this social media crap on these boards, despite not having watched the actual interviews and events.

    Then they will also complain about that MSM because that same social media told them the media picks on Trump.

    Which reminds me...

    He's just a whiney little b*tch.

    LOL, Obama is so right about Trump. I still crack up that Trump said he's in better health than Obama. He's absolutely living in some warped reality world. I'd love to see Trump run a mile race against Obama. Obama would probably go twice around the track before Trump made it around one lap. Better yet, can you imagine Trump standing next to him in a bathing suit, or racing him across an Olympic pool? LMAO. Trump would probably struggle doggy paddling and have to be rescued by a lifeguard before he got halfway across the pool. Kite surfing? I bet Trump couldn't even balance on a board. As for mental health, I'd love to see them in a spelling bee. Now that would be great. Better yet, I'd love to see them do a memory test. Something tougher than man, woman, tv. Trump is crazy, that's for sure.

    You tell me. What would the lead be in the NYT and FoxNews this morning if last night at Kamala’s rally she went on a rant and described how her friend Billie Jean King had a wide mouthed Vagina??

    This has been answered many many times.

    Voting is a right things like driving, drinking alcohol or getting on an airplane are not rights. Not very one US citizen has a ID given that it takes time and money to get an ID.

    You still have to prove who you are when you register to vote. It’s different in every state but in Mn you have to provide proof through an ID like a drivers license, passport or birth certificate, a utility bill showing your residence or barring those another registered voter in your district signing an affidavit. Verifying you are who you are and you live where
    You live.

    Those are the facts whether you’re convinced or not.

    Would you like it if I could vote, even though I am not a US citizen?

    What if I could vote 1,000 times?

    You can try and your vote will be rejected and you will be charged with a crime. If you want to risk that go ahead.

    I would never. But without ID check, how do you ensure that others don't?

    There is essentially no voter impersonation fraud (or voter fraud of any kind). Because it was already so exceedingly rare, Photo ID requirement has no impact on fraud. Require it all you want (up to each state) - it’s just a feel-good measure, nothing more.

    I already stated how and it’s been stated many many many times before how.

    Of course you wouldn’t. If you do, you would be deported.

    Mail in voting doesn't require ID, therefore invalidating the argument of the cost of an ID or having one.

    This is a discussion where each side neatly divides up into camps where both sides make bad arguments either way. Instead, we should focus on
    1) ensuring everyones vote gets accounted properly. This can be done by providing a simple receipt at the time of voting to show who the person voted for and if there are any flags on that particular ballot that might cause issues.
    2) keep the voter registration clean. Many states have very sloppy voter registration which can lead voter fraud.

    Personally, I think ID should be required for a clean ballot. If I have to prove my ID to everyone day in and day out, especially to the government, then this should be no exception. If no ID is provided, then a provisional ballot should be issued.

    Source: Your ass.

    You are still at the "It's not happening stage".

    When proof comes out, you will move to the "It's happening, but it's actually a good thing" stage.
