    Do you really love democracy?

    If you do, you are clearly support voter ID laws. An overwhelming majority supports voter ID laws.

    I am sure that you will refuse to answer the question and attempt to deflect by pointing out something else in the poll that you like.

    Where have I posted about voter ID laws?

    I haven't read all voter ID laws. So I can't say.

    Have you read all voter ID laws?
    Or is merely supporting that catch-phrase, regardless the text of the actual laws, good enough for you?
    Is that how democracy works?

    San Francisco finds out they went too far...

    San Francisco school board to vote on school renaming, again
    https://apnews.com/article/san-fran...chool-boards-28dc395d697dd6e09979c6ca3157de5e

    The San Francisco school board is poised to reverse a much-criticized decision to purge 44 schools of names it said were linked to racism, sexism or other injustices, a turnaround aimed at avoiding costly litigation and toning down outrage at what critics denounced as ill-timed activism.

    Just over two months ago, the city’s elected Board of Education voted to strip schools of the names of historic figures including Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Robert Louis Stevenson. A school named for longtime Sen. Dianne Feinstein is on the list as well.

    Parents, students and elected officials blasted the board for some of its targets — and its timing. The decision in late January came while all of San Francisco’s public classrooms were closed because of coronavirus restrictions. They still are. Mayor London Breed, among others, called it “offensive and completely unacceptable” for the board to focus on changing school names rather than getting children back into classrooms.

    Some of the city’s youngest students are expected to begin returning to in-person instruction this month after more than a year of distance learning because of the pandemic. There is no timetable for middle and high school students to return.

    The renaming effort also was criticized for shoddy research and historical inaccuracies. A renaming advisory committee wrongly accused Paul Revere of seeking to colonize the Penobscot people. It also confused the name of Alamo Elementary School with the Texas battle rather than the Spanish word for “poplar tree.”

    Feinstein Elementary made the list because when she was mayor in 1984, she initially replaced a vandalized Confederate flag that was part of a longstanding display outside City Hall.

    Amid the outcry, board president Gabriela Lopez said in February that the process would be paused until all children were back in school. Lopez acknowledged in a statement that mistakes were made in the selection of schools and said that when the board returns to the issue, it will engage historians for a “more deliberative process.”

    The board is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a resolution to rescind its January decision and revisit the matter after all students have returned full time to in-person learning.

    Since the renaming vote, the board has faced multiple lawsuits, including one from City Hall and the mayor to pressure the school district and board to reopen classrooms more quickly. Another was filed in March by San Francisco attorney Paul Scott, whose children attend public schools, alleging the school board’s renaming decision violated California’s open meeting law and did not involve the community.

    San Francisco Superior Court Judge Ethan Schulman issued a ruling calling on the board to do what the lawsuit requests — rescind the vote and dissolve the renaming advisory committee — or show by April 16 why it shouldn’t be compelled to do so.

    The resolution being considered Tuesday does not address the criticism but denounces the lawsuit, saying it “wishes to avoid the distraction and wasteful expenditure of public funds in frivolous litigation.”

    In other recent controversies, the school board has been widely criticized for a plan to end merit-based admissions to San Francisco’s top public high school, Lowell, and use the same lottery-based system that admits students to other high schools.

    Tuesday’s meeting also will be the first since the board voted last week to remove one of its members, Alison Collins, from her role as vice president and other titles over her tweets about Asian Americans dating to 2016.

    In the tweets, Collins said Asian Americans use “white supremacist” thinking to get ahead. She has resisted calls to step down and last week sued the school district and five of her six colleagues, accusing them of violating her free speech rights. She is seeking $87 million in damages.

  4. Oh my God we have become such pussies...... this cunt does not even understand the 1st Amendment and is suing for $87 million in damages?!?!?!

    She said stupid shit and lost her job... has nothing to do with 1st Amendment. Freedom of speech....not freedom of consequences... I cannot wait for this to go to a judge for them to tell her fuck off.

  5. Cruz is being challenged for the biggest vagina in the Senate haha:

    Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky on Monday had a message for CEOs and corporations.

    In a presser at the Capitol, McConnell stated:

    "My advice to the corporate CEOs of America is to stay out of politics."


    Except when the vagina is so old he forgets what he said about Citizens United:

    "...every corporation in America should be free to participate in the political process, not just the ones that own newspapers and TV stations."


    McConnell - the Pussy You Don't Want

    “It’s jaw-dropping to see powerful American institutions not just permit themselves to be bullied, but join in the bullying themselves. Wealthy corporations have no problem operating in New York, for example, which has fewer days of early voting than Georgia, requires excuses for absentee ballots, and restricts electioneering via refreshments,”
    McConnell said in a statement released Monday.

    “There is no consistent or factual standard being applied here. It’s just a fake narrative gaining speed by its own momentum,”
    he added.

    McConnell on Monday said “Americans do not need or want big business to amplify disinformation or react to every manufactured controversy with frantic left-wing signaling.”

    “From election law to environmentalism to radical social agendas to the Second Amendment, parts of the private sector keep dabbling in behaving like a woke parallel government. Corporations will invite serious consequences if they become a vehicle for far-left mobs to hijack our country from outside the constitutional order,”
    he warned.

    The GOP leader pointed to analysis in The Washington Post that he said “debunked” claims from the Biden White House about the new Georgia voting law.

    “Plenty of Democrat-run states allow fewer days of early voting than the new Georgia law requires,” McConnell wrote. “More than 70 percent of Americans, including a majority of Democrats and a supermajority of independents, favor commonsense voter I.D. requirements; even so, Georgia will accept alternatives to driver’s licenses to verify absentee voters.”
