  1. No I'm not. You tried to point out Trump's hypocrisy about Florida mail in ballots and I'm showing you how different that system is compared to what other states are planning on doing. Why did you post that meme?
  2. Jesus Christ it would be funny if it weren't so sad that people cannot comprehend the difference. Vote-by-Mail What is Vote-by-Mail A vote-by-mail ballot refers to a ballot that you request and pick-up or have delivered to you without having to vote at the polls during early voting or on Election Day. A voter must first be registered to vote before he or she can request a vote-by-mail ballot. Unless otherwise specified, a request to receive a vote-by-mail ballot covers all elections through the end of the calendar year for the second ensuing regularly scheduled general election. If a vote-by-mail ballot is returned undeliverable, it will cancel a request for future elections and must be renewed. https://dos.myflorida.com/elections/for-voters/voting/vote-by-mail/
  3. Russia took over a huge part of it.
  4. Come on man just tax the rich more. That's all it takes to balance a budget. https://nypost.com/2020/08/05/cuomo-wealthy-residents-should-leave-hamptons-return-to-nyc/ ALBANY — Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been begging rich people to return to New York City from their second-home retreats so they can pay taxes to help offset the state’s growing coronavirus-related revenue shortfall. “I literally talk to people all day long who are now in their Hamptons house who also lived here, or in their Hudson Valley house, or in their Connecticut weekend house, and I say, ‘You got to come back! We’ll go to dinner! I’ll buy you a drink! Come over, I’ll cook!’” the Democratic governor said Monday. “They’re not coming back right now. And you know what else they’re thinking? ‘If I stay there, I’ll pay a lower income tax,’ because they don’t pay the New York City surcharge,” he added, noting the wealthiest 1 percent of the Empire State’s population picks up roughly 50 percent of the state’s tax burden. The plea comes amid dimming hopes that the federal government’s next COVID-19 relief package will contain any additional aid for struggling state and local governments. If additional dollars don’t come to New York on top of waning revenue streams, Cuomo and other state officials have said the hit could translate to 20 percent cuts to health, education and local governments’ annual budget. Meanwhile, Cuomo has said he’s not keen on raising taxes for the wealthy, adding it wouldn’t be enough to cover the state’s growing deficit — pegged at around $30 billion over the next two years. But he’s at odds with leaders in the state Legislature — particularly state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Westchester) and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-The Bronx), who last week diverged from Cuomo, arguing that raising taxes on New York’s wealthiest is something they would consider and support. The Democrat-run Legislature has been working on an alternative fiscal package over the last several weeks, in case Washington doesn’t come through. “They have to deliver. We have federal representatives, we have senators and we have congresspeople. We pay them to pass a piece of legislation that’s going to help New York. And it’s simple, if the federal legislature is not going to help New York, you know what I say to them? ‘Don’t pass it! It can’t pass without you! Don’t pass a piece of legislation that doesn’t restore New York’s funds,’” the third-term Democrat continued Monday in a pointed jab at New York’s federal delegation. “If you pass a piece of legislation that requires New York to raise taxes, raise a millionaires’ tax in this environment in New York City, where we’re struggling … We used to be worried [with a] millionaires’ tax, people might leave,” he continued. “No. The burden shifted. We’re trying to get people to come back. We’re trying to get them to come back. Covid’s under control.” “We’re going to make progress helping the homeless. We’re going to clean up the graffiti. We’re going to fix crime. On top of that, you’re going to say, ‘And by the way, when you come back, you get a big tax increase,’” he added. The dire picture is only compounded as the unemployment rate in the five boroughs hovers at 18 percent, over 80 percent of restaurants cannot meet monthly rent obligations and thousands could face eviction notices from landlords within the next couple months.
  5. 3:15 mark. Amazing.
  6. Pilots are hard to beat. Run them on my Sidewinder but run SLP Powder Pro's on the 850.
  7. Want goosebumps. Listen to the vocals at the end of this.
  8. Jon Bon Jovi was underrated but nobody compares to FM. between four and five octaves Jon Bon Jovi is broadly a tenor, but with a vocal range stretching between four and five octaves, giving him plenty of flexibility.
  9. So your starting with what is typically known as the worst stock ski in the industry. I couldn't get them off my Sidewinder fast enough. The Z1T drives much lighter than it is. Its funny when you look how the sled was designed and its almost as if they were trying to add weight. I thoroughly enjoyed mine while I had it.
  10. I'll agree they stepped up however can you show me a similar frame issue on so many vehicles for GM or Ford.
  11. Toyota trucks from the late 90's early 2000's all had to have their frames replaced.
  12. My brother is moving his daughter into college. All kids are tested as they move in unless they have documentation since May that you already had it. These move in periods are 3 day blocks. Today is the last day of the first group. A girl in her dorm was being escorted out of the dorm by people in full hazmat suits because she tested positive from day 1 or 2. And to think masks are supposed to make us safe.
  13. They should immediately call Susan Rice to testify.
  14. Should actually say unarmed by police.

    Huh? First off Trump's only had 3 budgets not 4. 2017 was Obama's. Don't get me wrong Trump's on his way to surpass Obama but not in his first term. President Obama had the largest deficits. By the end of his final budget, FY 2017, his budget deficits totaled $6.781 trillion. That's a 58% increase.

    Dem's wanted 3x's as much.
  17. Damn....how high it get like 200 ft.
  18. Still don't understand the difference between someone requesting a ballot and them just mailing them out to everyone.
  19. 9% of AA college students attend HBCU's yet those colleges account for 25% of all school shootings. HBCU's account for about 1.3% of all college students yet have 25% of the gun violence. nine percent Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUS) Most importantly, they prepare students for leadership and life after graduation. There are 101 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)opens in a new window across the nation and nine percent of all African American college students attend HBCUs. https://newsone.com/3778901/hbcu-shootings-gun-violence-black-colleges-2018/ HBCU Campuses Are Falling Victim To School Shootings And Gun Violence This Year, Too Shootings at Black colleges have accounted for 25 percent of all school gun violence this year.
  20. There are more murders in any given month in Chicago than a decade on all college campus' combined. In the past 13 years there have been 122 murders on college campus'.
  21. I won't debate cops target black area's for drugs but it isn't just because of the drugs. Its because of the crime that surrounds it in those area's. It doesn't always everywhere else.
  22. I get that in liberal cities...any city for that matter the cops go where the trouble is. Whether regular patrols or answering calls. Most inner city communities want more policing....not less. By the time most police/citizen interaction is occurring the police are in the process of looking for someone who has already been called in.
