If none of them showed up, it still passed… 53 without them is more than the simple majority 51 needed… And that’s before Vance would have a tie breaker.
So while yes there are some really shitty Democrats, those two voted for this person to take the position because they wanted them to have it.
54-45 is a pretty big gap for the Senate. Not even close to needing a tie breaker from the vp
So if someones ID expires and the “save” act went through, I’m curious if they would actually accept a birth certificate. It’s not like a birth certificate even could have a photo ID on it. I believe it or not have grown about 200lbs since then. So the picture would be useless anyways. Then obviously people point out that a birth certificate is useless for anyone with a name change unless they are bringing the name change paperwork (marriage certificates or the like) just to prove they are that person. Half the country doesn’t have passports do to cost and the fact that they expire as well. Drivers licenses aren’t held by everyone, cost money, and also they can be legally suspended or taken for driving infractions which do not have anything to do with whether or not you are legally allowed to vote. Not to mention they expire as well.
The only way the save act would make sense is if everyone was provided free identification that was valid and you didnt need any other identification to acquire it. You don’t have to own a house to vote, you don’t have to be on a lease to vote, your name doesn’t have to be on a electric bill or such to vote. So none of those documents would make sense to ask for.
There is no easy way to do a system that is better than what is currently in place and as far as the majority are told, there is no evidence of it being tampered with enough to change it.
Yeah I don’t see how it would even be a “textbook definition.” This could have been anything and is purely speculation.
That said the U.S. defines giving (not receiving) aid or comfort to an enemy of the state as treason… So taking a bribe isn’t giving them comfort. Removing sanctions on Iranian oil the other dayl could be giving them comfort, but that still wouldn’t likely count.
More than likely if he’s not just talking complete bullshit it means the CIA or someone reported they found a movement somewhere that they think they can give aid to and try to position in a certain way to take power while getting some kind of concessions like oil contracts.
Which looking at the history of what the CIA/US do with middle eastern countries over oil… Seems most likely.
