The face of a man willingly and actively smelling his daddy's farts... "Ooohhh, that one was a lil' bit wet, daddy..."
Don't you have an electoral card for voting? That can't be issued to non-eligibles
next up, passing a law criminalizing the ownership of unicorns and dragons
"Unfounded fears." "False claims."
Just do us all a favor and say that Trump LIES, non-stop, every fucking time he opens his mouth. He lies like you and I breathe.
That is a lot like saying, "we need to make it illegal for rodeo clowns to steal nuclear waste."
The thing they want to ban is not actually happening, and if it was, it would already be illegal
It is already illegal.
we need to make it illegal for rodeo clowns to steal nuclear waste
Nahhh, shit man, don't do that. That's Jefferies only hobby since his wife left him.
Cool, I look forward to the non-citizen car theft ban next.
The way these fools work, maybe we should make it illegal for aliens from Mars to vote also.
“We all know – intuitively – that a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections. But it’s not been something that is easily provable,” Johnson said
Turns out it's really fucking hard to come up with proof for things everyone - intuitively - knows are false.
Every fucking time the GOP forces voter fraud investigations it turns up more fraud from Republican voters than Democrats... the idiocy of their voting base is the only reason they keep hawking this bullshit.
If you know something but you can't explain it. You don't know it, you believe it.
I would like less belief in the government thank you very much
We all know
I have rarely found statements that start with this phrase that are, in fact, things we all know.
It is the knowledge version of "I'm not racist, but..."
Right. In fact it's often translatable to "most people know the following is absolute bullshit..."
You know what undocumented people generally do? They don’t break laws, because any infraction can end with deportation.
My wife's legal, but not a citizen. She doesn't fuck around with the law, not the tiniest bit.
One of the questions in the application for citizenship is if you ever voted in a local, state or federal election. So they will be giving up their chance to become a citizen if they vote illegally.
Cause/effect thinking is surprisingly hard for some
Edit: to clarify, I mean people who don't understand or believe what you are saying
Put another way, there is a very strong incentive for undocumented people to be as law-abiding as possible.
Specific to this “illegals voting” nonsense, if there had been enough undocumented people voting in a presidential election to impact the outcome, some of them would have been caught.
So far as I am aware, there are zero cases of an undocumented person even attempting to vote. Anywhere, ever.
We all know – intuitively – that a lot of illegals are voting in federal elections.
Doubt
But it’s not been something that is easily provable.
You can't prove it, you mean. Because it isn't happening. You can tell because they are blaming the ethereal 'illegal'.
Johnson and Trump putting their feelings. first. And their little wittle feefee's tell them they're special and deserve to rule over you. Fuck their feelings.
This reminds me of the Sandy Hook depositions.
One of the admins for Infowars was being deposed and was asked, "How come, even with all the evidence showing that it wasn't staged, did you keep pushing the narrative that it was?"
The woman took no pause and said, "Because it felt true!"
No reservation. No empathy. Just pure fear.
These people aren't governing from facts. Which means that no amount of facts will deter them from their views.
No facts will convince them that they are wrong.
They are right. More importantly, they are righteous. And they will stop at nothing until they get their way.
That's what makes them dangerous.
