Arguably, the majority of immigration comes from areas of the world that are not classified as rainforest/jungles. The vast majority of immigration from those countries are from cities.

The comment is just straight up racism
It is.

Should we expect anything less from these scumbags? How is he still pumping Trump. He didn't even get paid.

It is the Justice department, how are they going to stop them?
Right wing nuts: We refuse to let you in to do your job!
Justice department: Well these military guys with guns say you will.

I haven't had a chance to watch it.

Did they do a debrief with any of them and had they changed their thoughts/stance?

his daughter did the media tour a few weeks ago, endorsing Harris and explaining how she has basically lost her dad to Trump and Trumpism. Rudy's just way too far gone at this point. Both the Giuliani and Conway families have been interesting cases in that regard, with one member each completely going off the rails.

I had a watch through this last night and I think it does a pretty solid job of describing the play book of GOP.

It also does a good job in describing the way the votes are counted and when they are counted in terms of absentee and provisional ballots.

This is going to be a mess unless it as a landside.

They did count them. The only ones left uncounted on election night were ones that needed verification that the person didn't vote twice which fit into 2 categories:

1) Mail-in ballots received on election day. It would be trivial to vote by mail and then go in on election day to vote in person. So any mail in ballots received at the last minute were held back to verify that the same person didn't show up at a polling station. Mail-in ballots received before election day had already been processed so polling places knew those people had voted already.

2) Ballots where people voted outside their district at a polling place in more remote locations that aren't tied into the main elections database. Again, if you voted in one of those places, you could also show up in your own district and vote there too. And once the votes are in the ballot box, there's no way to undo that, so ones that fit the criteria are held back until they could be transported to each district and cross-referenced against a list of names of people who had already voted.

It's just that when you have a bunch of seats that are super close, a few hundred ballots in each district that fit that criteria can make a difference.

Ahh, I see. That does make it more clear. I figured there was a reason and it just wasn't jumping out at me.

Buttigieg should have been the VP nominee. I like Walz, but Pete is the guy we need in a leadership role in this country.

Yeah, the final moments of the video showed initially they had:

6 - Dem
4 - Trump
5 - 3rd Party
11 - Not planning on voting

Whereas after it went to

12 - Dem
5- Trump
6 - 3rd Party
3 - Not planning on voting

He emphasized that doing anything other than voting for Harris in Michigan is the same as voting for Trump, so that appeared to resonate to a point.

I actually like Pete and think he would be a good leader and President but the 2020 primary has shown that even among the Democrats he has issues with support. The younger progressives of the party apparently hated him.

some of those 3rd party voters were infuriating as ####. Like, Jill Stein? Are we really doing this in 2024? Come on.

They have very limited jurisdiction over elections. The elections are 50 independent state elections. So the question would be does the voting rights act give them authority to observe elections to ensure the acts requirements are met.

Apparently The Proud Boys are back and looking to sew chaos at election stations.

What would give any state the authority to keep a public place from the justice department?

I can't think of any kind of bigger loser in the world then someone 100% tying their personality onto a political party, especially one led by Trump. Being willing to lose your own f'ing family over it? Christ. No joke, that's the most loser thing I can think of.

I'm in a Facebook group of home Home Bars and Man Caves. I'm in it to get ideas for my own, but Holy Hell the amount of people that have Trump stuff up in their "Man" Caves is crazy.

Let's take a step back for a second.

If you're a Republican, if you're a Trump supporter, and you have your reasonable reasons for being so... for the purpose of this exercise, let's say that's fine... having a Trump flag, or Trump merchandise up in your home is freakin' weird. In the same way it's weird if you line your home with Biden posters, or Trudeau signs, or Pollievre stickers... it's just ... weird.
