CNN Loses Two Thirds Of Its Viewers

We don't want any illegal aliens voting in our elections, and we don't want them here devouring our safety nets either.
Only five states have real IDs that meet the requirements of the save act.
 
Oh, that would depend greatly.. there are masochists among us. 😉
Yes, I know. I try my best to deliver as much tolerable pain as I can to those who gleefully sign up for daily doses of political flagellation. In that regard, I'm just a charitable public service. ;)
 
So what? Every state has welfare, and you need identification to collect that as well, probably the same.
So you're suggesting proof of citizenship is required for welfare?

Interesting if true.

They do not vote in our elections, they contribute a lot more than they cost, and the country would in no way be better off without them.

That is kinda interesting. How does it work? How do you vote in the States?
For instance, we are in the middle of our parties campaigning the country flatter than it already is.
It is election time and we are going to vote in a week's time.

Which is pretty simple and straight forward: using our social security numbers and addresses, you get assigned at place where you need to vote (usually the nearest school). They open at 8:00 and close at 20:00.

You go there when it fits into your schedule, you are encouraged to bring your children (not into the voting box if they can read! Voting is strictly confidential).

But, I am digressing.

You go there - say your name and birthday to the nice people as the desk.
- they then give you the ballot note. And mark you down as "have voted". You continue to the box, vote, walk out the box, fold the paper and put it into a huge box.
Collect your child at the hall, where it has been fed candy, fruits.. and had a lovely time.
Because voting day is a kinda festive day.

that is it.

Depending on what time of the day you go and vote, it may only take a couple of minutes.

And we do not need to show any ID. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Typically you register at the BMV when you get your driver's license which requires proof of identification. The new requirements wouldl need something with citizenship indicated (passport, birth certificate, real ID with citizenship noted)

At the polls, you typically present a driver's license or a.few bills from your residence.to show who you are and they mark you off.

Thank you.

So you need to register, before you can vote.

That way you would not be able to vote, if you had not proved who you are beforehand.

Whereas here: you get a social security number assigned at birth (or when you gain citizenship), and therefore you do not need to prove anything. Just knowing that number is enough.

Yah, you would need a social security card here...I think that might work

Well, we get those sent to us.

But when I go and cast my vote? I usually only bring my keys.. walk to the school, say my number, get the ballot, vote, walk home - snacking the snacks I have been given, unlocking the front door with my keys. Home.

It is literally that simple.
 
if cnn never let go d lemon jim acsota and chris curmo i think there would still be somewhat news style high ratings at cnn

and when i say news style high ratings well its different from tv shows style high ratings late night tv style high ratings and sports style high ratings

because of they were all in the same catagory of high ratings then fox news and wwe would have been had many nominations at the golden globes and the emmys for like best actors best actress best tv show best writer

How big a part is the war playing in the election?

Not much.. that is not our war.

But, the war serves another function, it is highlighting some issues: we are behind with the development of the power grids, and we need to speed up our transition to renewable energy.

Mostly there seems to be consensus about the big lines/international policy. So those areas are not important in the election.

The focus is on agriculture, protection of our drinking water, animal welfare in agriculture, schools and the usual suspect: taxes & VAT.

The war, immigrants, refugees, donations to Ukraine, upgrading and modernising the defence.. phew.. that is not really something we disagree about, despite having more than 10 different parties, and yes - they are really different!

Seriously, since the American president said he was going to "get Greenland someway or another", we have been forced into a strange position.. and honestly? We just want to focus on the things that matter to us, in our daily life.

The other wars being fought, we have no part in them, we cannot do anything about them.. the world is full of strife and war. And we are no longer viewing America as our closest nor most important ally. 🤷🏼‍♀️

One way or another trump will pass, it’s up to the rest of the world and particularly America to make sure the damage is minimised as much as possible.

There is always some positivity too, it’s all certainly concentrated attention on hurrying along the move away from oil and of the power Europe has if it learns to act together more.

No, you’re a pestilence on the body politic, spreading misinformation and lies.

You are right, presidents comes and goes. And what we are going to see as our biggest lesson from all this:
Do not put all of your eggs in one basket.

It is important to be self-reliant, to some extent - with how fast everything goes, you need to be pragmatic and decide : "what is important to us? What is our critical infrastructure?".

And from there, you see what needs to be done.

.... Denmark, a remarkably boring country in many, many ways. As pragmatism and the mentality of "we need to work together as an unit" seems to be some of our strongest abilities. 😅

When you register is when you prove you are who you say you are. At that point you're put on your county, city rolls. When you vote they ask for your name and address, at that point you're lined out and no other person can vote using that spot on the rolls.
