US Justice Department expresses 'concerns' over the GOP's Arizona election audit being conducted by Cyber Ninjas

You are engaging in the classic wing nut gas-light. The Democrats of the 1960's switched parties when the Civil Rights act of 1964 act was passed. Since then it has been the Republicans, not the Democrats that have imposed those Jim Crow laws culminating in that insane voter suppression bill GA just passed.

You guys are so adorable when you try that shit about the Democrats and Jim Crow (shaking my head).
Oh, yes, the Democrats became Republicans and the Republicans became Democrats. I've heard this stupidity often by the looney left.

Why would any Republicans, those who fought in the Civil War for human rights and against the segregation of schools and Jim Crow laws suddenly want to become racist Democrats? Don't you people ever think these things through?

I love how you people are so sure about what side you would have been on. The disdain that many of you have for black and brown people is palpable. You're not even trying to hide it anymore. And you think you would have been fight AGAINST slavery, segregation and Jim Crow laws? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
Leftists are destroying America for some reason known only to them. Do you think they have the intellectual depth or philosophical means to improve the country?
Perhaps a two sided list could be drawn up with one side describing how Leftists are improving the country and the other how they are destroying it.

I should also have mentioned the left's inability to focus because that's certainly evident here.
Focus on what? You say "leftists are destroying America." How? There's nothing to focus on unless I accept your premise. I'm not obliged to accept your premise.
 
At the cost of bankrupting the country, thanks so much.
The Congressional Budget Office analyzed the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 in March 2010. The CBO report covered both laws that enacted the ACA. It examined the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (Public Law 111-152).

The CBO report said the ACA reduced the budget deficit by $143 billion between 2010 and 2019.

Most of Obamacare's savings come from making sure 95% of U.S. citizens had health insurance. It reduced health care costs by making preventive health care affordable for the 33 million who had no coverage. They didn't have to wait until their illness became so critical that they used the hospital emergency room as their primary care provider. That slowed the increase in national health care costs for everyone.

Obamacare taxes and other fees also offset the cost of the program.
 
And an opinion of a like minded individual to you, should make everyone say the same?

Just everyone with a pair of eyes and a functional knowledge of English.

You might think your gas-lighting is working my friend. It's not. Republicans have been trying to rewrite history about their racist past since they've been shown what they truly are. After these last 5 years there's no question with anyone's mind that you and your fellow trumpublicans have been exposed.. I understand your insecurity about it.. but here's the solution..

CHANGE!
 
The US Constitution is clear. The administration of our electoral process is in the hands of each state's legislature. Period.

And yet the VRA was upheld for many, many years.. Why do you suppose that’s the case?

Oh, that's right, it's all free, no cost at all. There's a sucker born every day. Usually they are Democrats.

Like Joe Biden, who fought for segregation? What did the Democrats do about that? Oh, they made him President.

They…didn’t? You’re using a weird deflection of logic to get to your own logic. It’s not that the people switched ideologies, it’s that the ideologies switched clothing.

Look at today: there is no logic to insisting that, say, the KKK are Democrats anymore when their allegiance is to parties that associate with right wing/GOP. At one time that wasn’t the case. AT this time, that is the case.

This stuff ain’t that hard.
 
Uh. Ok. Brilliant response.

Explain this clause in the constitution:

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

Nobody has said universal healthcare would be "free" BUT the examples provided by other developed nations and as noted in an earlier comment all show that "socialised medicine" is cheaper than the present American system.

Just to be clear. Are you saying it was the Republicans and not the Democrats who enacted the Jim Crows Laws, segregated schools, ran the KKK, lynched Black Americans and wouldn't allow Blacks in the business establishments? Is that your claim?

Debt, foreign policy, race relations, corruption in the bureaucracies, keeping the nation sovereign, corrupting the political system, the justice system and destroying the educational system. Where do you want to start?

You should have a closer look at them. The medical establishment has abandoned the free enterprise system, as in other countries, and care and service have declined while expenses have risen. Did you know there was once something called 'House calls'?

Yes, and where I live, house calls are still available.

The medical establishment in America is still very much driven by "free enterprise", unlike Canada as you would know if you were actually Canadian.

Medical debt is engulfing more people as pandemic takes its toll


'I live on the street now': how Americans fall into medical bankruptcy

Having health insurance is often not enough to save Americans from massive debts when serious illness strikes
According to a study published in February 2019, about 530,000 bankruptcies filed annually are because of debt accrued due to a medical illness. The study found that even the Obama administration’s landmark Affordable Care Act (known as Obamacare) has failed to change the proportion of bankruptcies caused by medical debts, with poor health insurance cited as one of the main culprits.

Increasing costs are a direct result of the "free enterprise system", and is just one reason why America has decreasing lifespans when compared to other developed nations.

Let's make it easy for you. North v South. Which party dominated each part of the USA until 1900? Which party dominates each area now?

Are you seriously suggesting the Republican North became the Democrat North without the parties altering their platforms? How do you explain South Carolina being stomping ground for Democrats in 1900 to being the sole domain of the GOP today? Did the entire population and cultures agree en masse to switch homes?

They'll always have some evidence that free stuff makes financial sense.

In fact Canada is turning toward free enterprise once again because the country was going broke trying to keep everyone happy. At one time getting a doctor's help outside the system was illegal.
