OT: Election Day Thread

[txleapd]

And according to some folks, we are the most racist country in the world.
Yeah, we have some issues and idiots, but like you said, try living over there and see what it's like.

The most racist country in the world would have to be Japan. They literally hate everyone who isn’t Japanese, and don’t even pretend to hide it.

I’ve been to 30 counties and walked on 5 continents. We’re not perfect, but we’ve got it pretty damn good here.

Agreed. Been all over the world. Basically any place there’s an oil / gas field in the last 35 years.
The 2nd best place SUCKS!!!

They do hate them some China and Korea, don't they?

Haha, I 100% concur. I thought that sentiment was primarily an Okinawa thing for obvious reasons until I finally got to visit the mainland. Nope.
Even with the strong desire to maintain a monoculture, you'd be hard pressed to find a more polite country. Fake or not.

Are you still in the industry? Things might be spooling up to ludicrous speed soon. Drill baby drill because we need to replenish the strategic reserves uncle Joe sold off.

Germany called yesterday. They said they want our LNG.

But but but...... Trump?!?!!

They hate all Asian peoples. It was a source of motivation for them in WW 2.

During the Tokugawa shogunate, peasants could be executed for failing to smile at a samurai.

Sounds like a good motivation to be polite.

Yes sir. There’s been A LOT of money moving behind the scenes in the last 45 days towards natural gas projects. Currently working on a geothermal type project that could be huge if it’s as successful as it looks like it’s gonna be.

I know Blue has fumbling problems but we got to give him the ball more. He’s too dynamic not to.

Edit: Wrong thread, oops.

Trump is back in a landslide!! Thank God!

How is it that week after Election Day, there are results of house races that are still undecided?

Incompetence, cheating, or extremely too close. More than likely the remaining seats are too close and they are waiting for all of the military & out of state ballots to come in.
Win or lose, there should be absolutely zero reason why ALL races aren't officially done by the morning after election day. Make the receipt deadline 6pm on the day of, no exceptions. With modern technology, this is ridiculous.

States rights baby.

We can't pick and choose. Election laws are up to each state.

I am 1000% for individual states rights for everything except surpassing a federal election deadline. It should be the state's right to start their damn process earlier if they can't get their shit together.
Instead, they are negatively affecting all other states.
Yes I know congress reps fall under state election laws but I feel that they shouldn't be allowed to hold the process hostage. Start as early as needed but no further results accepted beyond 8am the morning after. Don't make it in time then the submitted reports at deadline are what's written in stone. Enough is enough.

1,000 per cent for states right huh?

That's what the segregationists said.

Segregationists were 100% democrats and absolutely opposed states rights.

Our founding fathers were the biggest advocates for states rights on issues not explicitly defined in our constitution.

You're absolutely correct, that's why I'm not a Democrat.

 

[txleapd]

How elections are conducted should absolutely be up to the states. A deadline for when a state’s votes must be counted for the federal government to consider them should be up to the fed.

It’s official, boys. The GOP has the House. Now, let’s see what Trump can get done with a Republican Congress.

You mean like he had in 2016? Watch how fast his term limits legislation gets buried by "Republicans".

It does get complicated (at least for me), I will grant you that. But, as long as the states conform to the constitution and honor the Declaration of Independence, then theoretically, the rest should take care of itself.

 

[clob94]

You bring it to the floor in the Senate first. You make EVERYONE vote publicly.

Then you bring it to the house and do the same.

Whomever votes against it in the house and senate- You attack them mercilessly. MAKE THEM ADMIT that career politicians is what they want. Both sides.

Keep re-introducing the measure every month until you get 2/3rds. Shame these fvcking people. Then when they come home to us, if they haven't agreed to term limits- force them into a town hall, lock the doors, and don't let them out until they agree to vote YES.

It's also what every governor of every "sanctuary" state says when they turn their backs on federal immigration laws....

I assume you guys know that a lot of this mass deportation is unconstitutional.

How is deporting people who illegally entered the country unconstitutional?
