I think you're here just to deliberately bait people. I don't think you're interested in any of our opinions. You're more interested in arguing and showing off. You're a troll.
Troll for sure, never has lifted a finger for the site either. So many good people here are working hard to build up a useful internet resource, and then there are those who are just looking for a free ride and even try to bait those who do the work.

GOP thinks about impeaching Biden.  

Does the GOP want to impeach Biden for encouraging an invasion of millions of illegal aliens into the USA?  Nope. 

Does the GOP want to impeach Biden for the Hunter Laptop corruption evidence?  Nope.  

Does the GOP want to impeach Biden for taking bribes from Romania, Ukraine, China, and the ex-wife of Moscow's mayor?  No. no, no...

The GOP wants to impeach Biden for considering cutting off weapons and bombs to Israel's genocide of Palestinian women, men, and children.

I'm anti-war. Under Biden, inflation exploded. Biden gave hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.  Biden claimed, " The COVID-19 vaccine is totally safe and if you take it you cannot get COVID."

Of all the things the Republicans could impeach Biden for...The Republicans choose one of the few non-Alzheimer positive thoughts Biden has...slow down a genocide holocaust.

Isn't that what I did? Yes it is! Ermm

Edit: or maybe the link to a previous post wasn't clear enough for you... I could quote it (copy/past it), but a link should be enough, no?

Could you please copy and paste what response/reality is upsetting me?  I don't know what you're talking about. Be specific. As long as you respond in generalities and vague opinions about arguments that I have not made...with the exception that I speculate that whoever wins the most swing states in 2024...becomes our next President.  However, that is not an argument. It's just my opinion. 

I don't feel upset.  I have not stated an argument.  I posted a law. I posted links to polls.  I asked questions.Wink

  Let me make an argument...My argument is that I did not make an argument.  However, what follows is an argument. 

I posted a factual law.  That is not an argument.  It's a statement of the current reality of American law. If you believe it's an argument.  Please explain how. 

I posted links to polls.  That is not an argument.  If you disagree with the poll...feel free to post your own polls.

I asked questions.  Questions are not arguments.  If you believe questions are arguments...please provide proof and your explanation on how a question is an argument.  Please provide specific answers, examples with explanations, or something more lucid than "This One".   I provided specific polls, questions, and a law. Please don't be vague.Wink

I replied to the question you asked "Specifically, what are my hypotheses/speculations?" by showing them.

I understand you want to drag us into you delusional theories, but that's not how I work: I'm just deconstructing your logic (or maybe I should say your lack thereof...). You can bring in many other topics, but they will not answer the question at hand: the law regarding voting rights of illegal aliens. It has been addressed above; you don't like the response/reality so you try to drag things into other territories: the by now classic strategy of conspiracy theorists and extremists. You've become very transparent in that respect.


What "response/reality" do I not like?  Please explain, because I don't understand what you are talking about.Wink

Please answer the question, that I asked.  It's a Yes/No question?  Should illegal's votes count...if that's the only way that Biden can defeat Trump?

I ask this question because all the swing states went for Biden in 2020.  You live in France. In America, we use the Electoral College system.   Please don't think that is a hypothesis or conspiracy theory.  It's true. Wink

I speculate ( Yes, you can accuse me of this speculation)...I speculate that the Presidential candidate (Trump/Biden) who wins the most swing states...wins the 2024 election.Smile  

The Washington Post found that the 2020 winner would have changed by flipping just over 81,000 votes in four states (Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin and Georgia).

What is the current state of the swing states?  Well, it depends on which media outlet you use.  
Here is a recent, fairly balanced article on the Swing State situation...

https://www.axios.com/2024/05/06/biden-trump-election-swing-states

And a recent state-by-state Presidential election poll...

I'm glad you find humor in my posts! Clap

The law is the law.  I was curious what my fellow PA member's opinions were. What's wrong with that?  The PA site thrives on facts combined with opinions.   Facts?  Who is in the band?  Opinions? Album ratings.

I quoted a law.  How is that a hypothesis?  I asked questions.  How are my questions hypotheses? Wink

§611. Voting by aliens
Effective Date of 2000 Amendment

611has been on the books in one form or another since June 25, 1948, and the most recent Amendment was effective as of 2000.  So, the law has been in its present form for 24 years. To date, there has been no flood of aliens voting. The fact is, voter fraud is extremely rare (far less than a percentage point). And in those cases where voter fraud is actually confirmed, the chance of said fraudulent voter being a white Republican is far greater than all other designations, parties or peoples. And I'm not even counting the fake Republican electors who are in the process of being prosecuted.

Please prove your claim that "the chance of said fraudulent voter being a white Republican is far greater than all other designations, parties or peoples."  is true.  I'm waiting for solid evidence with statistics...because your claim infers stats to support your claim.Wink

^ Hear, hear.

It is becoming much more clear that the vast majority of immigrants not only don't fraudulently vote, they are largely law-abiding people who are just glad to be here.

The right-wing is a sick, demented, unethical, anti-human group of people who are so desperate that they've convinced themselves it's better to lie, cheat & steal.   Their days are numbered in this country, and shame on anyone who continues to support this sociopathic movement.

 I'm not the court.  My fellow PA members are not the courts. Time will tell. The courts will tell us.

If I was Trump...I would choose Tulsi Gabbard as my running mate.  Gabbard is a vet.  Gabbard gabs like a bard. She balances liberal and conservative values.  I'd like to see an all-female vice presidential debate. Gabbart vs Harris.Wink
