Probably not, Trump taught their followers that they can deny any fact that does not suit their narrative, and live in strange fantasies like he does. That's a problem when there is an objective task at hand, like stopping a worldwide pandemic, where people blinded by their own lies operate at a severe disadvantage. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forget the fog created by COVID, it seems like you are living through your own version. Why can't the "greatest democracy in the history of the planet" get the voting process right? We had it right to a certain degree. Then John F. Kennedy supporters won buy stealing votes in Chicago. I was a J.F. K. fan. Chicago politics was notably corrupt. Trump favors absentee voting, just not general mail in voting. My wife and I vote early , in Illinois, to avoid lines. I have never been absent for a vote. Delayed vote counts have become notorious for voter harvesting. It happened all over California where Demoncrats have total control. So, I am not willing to go for more ballot harvesting after Republicans won districts as happened last election in California, and I don't want the practice to proliferate, but it probably will. Ballot harvesting is real, not a conspiracy theory. It greatly destroys belief in the legitimacy of elections. The same is true when you do motor voter registration which means you are automatically registered when you get a drivers license, as in California. Illegals are eligible for drivers licenses in most states now, if not all. You want to stick your head in the sand, and I am sure it will stay there with most Demoncrats. https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/four-more-plead-guilty-los-angeles-homeless-voter-fraud-scheme Edited July 31, 2020 by ronwagn reference 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoshiro Kamamura + 274 YK July 31, 2020 Why can't the "greatest democracy in the history of the planet" get the voting process right? Bingo. Why are Americans today still identified by an obscure "social security number" that can be used by anyone to steal its owner identity? At least in Europe, people have ID cards that are not fool proof, but take some effort and skill to forge. All the while technological groundwork for a better system already exists - each voter/citizen could be issued a personal certificate tied to a pair of cryptographic keys, one private and one public, and using the methods of asymmetric cryptography similar to PGP, TLS or others he could sign his votes, legal acts or correspondence using the private key, and anyone in the world could verify the if its genuine using the public key published by the certification authority. As long as the private key remains uncompromised (and the used cipher algorithms unbroken), such system could offer an unparalleled level of security. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing with Marxists/socialists or whatever you want to call them is that they understand the long game. The very first time I listened to Tucker on Gavin Mccinnes show quite a few years ago (a very funny interview) something really stuck in my head and that was was Tucker quoting an official that worked under Reagan as saying that "they went for the whitehouse while they (the dems) went for the institutions" or something along those lines...and they thought they'd won at the time...a bit like with Trump/Brexit. I'd be very careful in underestimating your oponents..ever notice how no matter what youo vote for things gradually or quickly move in the oposite direction. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I do understand exactly what you are saying. Let us revisit history,the US and the world experienced a financial meltdown it was coined the housing crisis. OBAMA walked on the scene and was elected a long held socialist dream. From the ashes we will rebuild. Leap forward to 2016, the unimaginable occurred. Trump the outlier was elected along with a republican controlled house. Many of the old republican guard were cast out. The new administration virtually swept 8 yrs of socialist work out the door. Only to be met with a campaign of scorched earth,there were no bondarys..no issue to large. From creating a baseless investigation to smearing a supreme ct nominee and a one party impeachment.. Oddly enough today we again face a financial crisis, we have a presidential nominee that will not expose himself to questioning or expose himself publicly to the masses. The Democratic party is demanding a new form of President voting before the PRESIDENTAL Debates even take place. Now am I aware...perhaps a smidge...and sorely aware i could use a proof writing program. 1 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The streets in question are, by a vast majority, in cities and States run by Liberal Democrats. It is Constitutionally the responsibility of these mayors and governors to protect their citizens and quell the rioting, the President must be ‘invited’ to step in. If no invitation is forwarded, the consequences fall squarely on the liberal state and local governments. That said, as is the case in Portland, the FEDERAL government is required, by law, to protect FEDERAL property, such as the courthouse at the center of the illegal riots. So yes, look at our streets, and place the blame where it belongs. 1 2 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You questioning many aspects of SS number's 1. If you volunteer your number for a specific purpose then you lose any recourse for that specific purpose..You have volunteered 1. The government that i cannot speak to i never was involved with any financial contracting..But you have experienced what happens with the govt getting involved it is serious stuff....imagine if you were a business explaining why they have your number so to speak. Actually i am not a lawyer legal opinions on such matters would be insane With that being said it would be easy to say never use another persons SS number in any manner....going on line..... leaves a IP address with a lender...walking into a bank one needs ID to authenticate they are who they say they are..if they blow that well the lender is on the line? Maybe the question is will they enforce a contract they know to be fraudulent....I do not think so there are rules against such practices. Remember it is your SS number did you authorize somebody to use it? Yes well you own it then....No well then someone else owns it...I think the question is when you dont authorize someone to use it and it happens Ohh they own it....and some will kick and scream thats not fair all the way to the courthouse doors...then suddenly get religion....Just a opinion your mileage will vary.

As i have said before you are a card. I do believe the fine as of now is 100k if there files are not under lock and key...per person exposed....Laying of a desk during processing and leave that desk unattended ...shes 5k for the person attending the desk and 10k for the employer. And to your point random audits are preformed across the country...any lending institution is audited several times a yr...A bit of a no knock raid...very cordial when they walk in. One slip and out comes the fines and every mgr on deck. Opps just had a thought..walk into a small business and see if one... you can find those files...and two what happens when you get into that area. Medium to large...corps have them on the mainframe...good luck with that but there are a few that get the meat so to speak.
