Politics

It begs the question, what qualifies someone to be a "resident" of a state?

Tommy's opponent is trying to paint him into a corner. If Tommy wasn't such an idiot, he would have at least claimed residency from March 2019 when he registered to vote in AL. I would love to see the mental gymnastics required on here to rationalize how he was a resident of the state of AL in Aug 2018, but a resident of FL in Nov 2018 (when he voted there), then back to an AL resident. All the while claiming a homestead exemption on a home he doesn't even own?

His opponents broader point is that Tommy lives in a $6M FL mansion, but is claiming a home in Auburn as his residence, that is owned by his wife and son...I mean, who among us hasn't left our "vacation home", driven 4+ hours to our "primary residence," (owned by someone else, not a trust or LLC) and then promptly checked ourselves into a hotel right down the street? Anyone with at least half a brain knows that they bought that home for their son (his name was on the deed originally, then Tommy got added a few years later), and are now using it to justify his residency for governor...rules for thee, but not for me!

You're all so focused on CA that when someone in your own party does something shady and illegal you don't even care. No republican was going to win CA, just like a democrat isn't going to win TX.
I don't know what the residency laws are in those states. However, in Texas residency is a "state of mind" and not where you lay your head at night. I suspect those states might be similar to Texas.

Alabamas residency says 7 years according to the constitution of 1901, this provision was put in to prevent carpetbaggers from being elected.

Tuberville has released Alabama tax returns from 2019 - 2025 I believe. There is a hearing this week and it’s supposed to clear things up. But it won’t stop the law suits and accusations from the democrats, it’s what they’re good at. Even though the current dust up is from his republican opponent.

Kicked off in Northern Ireland last night after the knife attack....a Sudanese "refugee " basically tried to decapitate someone...I watched a couple of reports on YouTube yesterday...one said this is in a deprived area, and it was a front line hotspot back in the Irish trouble days between the protestants and catholics...he said these people were/ are used to violence and you have what used to be the opposing sides telling eachother they are there to support eachother....he said there is going to be trouble....and he was correct.....

 
No they don't. 3 out of the 4 states you mentioned are red states. As I said before, poverty is by far a greater indicator than any other metric. You seem to be ignoring the difference between cities/counties in red vs. blue states. There's plenty of examples on both sides. But NYC, Boston, even San Fran have rates at or below the national average. Los Anglos county does as well. Those are some of the largest cities/counties in the entire country. All of which have high minority populations.

Even in rural counties the rate is 3.5 vs 4.5 for medium metros, and 5.1 for large metros. 3.5 gun homicides per 100K doesn't sound like hunting, fishing, and self defense to me. The meme is just another nonsensical right-wing conspiracy theory.
I see what your saying with the meme.. so he should have said democrat would be voters are more likely in each state to commit gun violence and not democrats state.. correct? I do not personally believe either political affiliation is more likely to commit crime as a whole however in each those states the above statement would be correct. The states in the site support that. It states 6 out of every 10 gun deaths are suicide and older white males are statistically more likely by a large margin to commit suicide. But homocide is quite a different matter and the site states that for those states. Poverty can’t be the only factor separating the homicide discrepancy because the poverty rates in West Virginia, Kentucky and most of Appalachian are almost as high.. and have high suicide rates but quite a bit lower homicide gun deaths.
So a honest question what is a bigger factor for these issues poverty, or culture?
 
Hopefully it will be swift and decisive!
Iran has been pissing on all their neighbors for 40+ years, kinda makes me wonder why they got rid of Sadam Husain and opened up that can of worms with the WOT .
He may have been a PIA but he kinda kept Shia radicals in check.
I remember taking to a number of people in state and the pentagon at the time that had the feeling we should have picked Iran rather than Iraq.

I had to drive up to Belfast to collect my sister last night assuming what happened in response would occur. It seems that he came from Paris to Dublin to Belfast and then was granted leave to remain. From the video he was trying to behead him. Until he got hit with a hurl and the police took him.

Shame it wasn't a baseball bat....presume it would have been treated as similar in capacity to a knife ....obviously if he had had a firearm available and shot him he would then be in the shit for using too much force....fkd up laws...
Mind you I just looked up one of those sticks....looks plenty good enough ....could do damage with one...

Yeah definitely I have one in my car played when I was in secondary school you’d feel a chop from one for a while. I’d say about the available firearms I’d guess most wouldn’t be certified and more likely to be Libyan or American in origin. They do have a licence for self defence but I’d imagine that’s more for if the UVF or IRA are after you.

Jeezus Trump is at it again. This is the guy who's running the country? Just running amok. Too busy trying to make sense of his private war in Iran to attend his namesake son's wedding, but he can spend all night making cartoons of himself as the new Messiah or Japanese anime superhero. I got quite a laugh listening to his response to the the booing at Madison Square Gardens NBA game. He actually imagined the crowd was "mostly" cheering him. The media outlets assumed the catcalls were due to the delays getting into the arena. Maybe the fans were voicing their displeasure at paying $5/gallon for fuel to drive there? What an embarrassment. And his "endorsement" is supposed to benefit candidates in the upcoming midterms? Really? I know absolutely nothing about the Democrat federal candidates in Montana election but I know which way I'm voting this fall. I might have voted for the GOP Rep who publicly laughed at Trump's aspirations for annexing Greenland but he's had enough of the conservative party foolishness and not running. Everyone running on the Democratic ticket could be braindead in a coma and I'd still vote on that side of the ballot. Trump has turned me into a partisan voter. Disgusting but seems to be no choice. The GOP is hopeless.

That's exactly what you get when cheating is widespread and more homeless vote than working people.
People voting themselves tax increases in CA has nothing to do with cheating, but more with political viewpoint that government is solution to everything.

Orange County voters (overwhelmingly red at the time) voted down a sales tax increase some time ago, others in CA flamed them saying county was going to be bankrupt over it. Didn't happen.

A couple of things, maybe you should get out of your cabin in the woods so you can be familiar with NYC. No one really drives to MSG. MSG sits directly above the Penn station and fans can get to it via subway or train without ever going outside.

If one attempted to drive to Manhattan you'd hit horrendous traffic and pay outrageous amounts for parking.

Oh yeah, gas at $5? Not even $4 in NYC.

Then again, facts have never been your strong suit when expressing faux outrage.

How do you get to vote in Montana as a Canadian citizen? Do you spend enough time living there to qualify as a resident?
Maybe Trinidad Colorado would be a better choice for you to receive the medical treatment for your affection?

That is true of some, but I don't believe it's the majority of voters, even in California.

There is a very clear pattern in Democrat run cities when they want something. The Democrat left sends out an Army of paid protesters, community organizers and paid folks that give free cigarettes and beer to people who sign their petition. Some of these same people will help get every stumble bum and homeless person to fill out a voter registration listing the bridge they live under as an address.

Come election time, this same Army of paid workers swarm homeless shelters, old folks homes, etc., giving cash, cigarettes and beer to anyone who will fill out a ballot.

This has been going on in some areas of the country for so long, it's accepted as normal. I've seen it in Arizona, California and parts of Jacksonville Florida.

Democrats will fight like hell to keep any form of voter I.D. or purging of voter rolls off the books because it makes it much more difficult to cheat like this.

My contention is that if some of these forms of cheating were eliminated, Democrats would lose the majority of the time on every candidate and every issue.

Or maybe I was speaking metaphorically? So you think $5/gallon for gas due to Trump's pointless and seemingly rudderless war isn't pissing people off in NY?

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
