    Derek Chauvin Murder Trial

    Honestly, that seems fair. This is a bad dude, but I'm not sure he deserves life in prison. Just my opinion. At the same time, let's all keep in mind that this wasn't one rogue guy. The law enforcement system needs to get a lot better. Someone hired this guy. Someone trained this guy. Someone...

    Dwyane Wade buys ownership stake in Utah Jazz

    Of all the retired players out there, I can't think of anyone I would rather have as part of the ownership group, even more than former Jazz players. Dwyane is such a good guy and respected everywhere. This is great.

    Voter Suppression and Why The Republicans Love It So Much?

    I have no idea why the number of drop boxes was reduced (low usage, or pure evil), but they were already requiring some form of ID prior to this. Georgia also issues FREE voter ID cards to anyone that wants one, so I don't think its an undue burden on poorer people to meet the voting...

    Voter Suppression and Why The Republicans Love It So Much?

    What were the requirements before? My understanding is that they still have "no-excuse" absentee voting, and all that is required is for someone to put in the DL number or last 4 of their social on the application. Admittedly, maybe I'm missing something, but it seems very simple for 99.9% of...

    Voter Suppression and Why The Republicans Love It So Much?

    Would you prefer or Liberal or Conservative slant? JK. Someone please add if I'm missing out key parts, which I'm sure I am: -Expands early voting options. Requires that Saturdays are mandatory. -Some minor changes to the identification requirements (specifically for absentee ballots). Need...

    Voter Suppression and Why The Republicans Love It So Much?

    As a small government advocate, I'm often averse to more legislation. You're right, nothing really needed to change, but that's what politicians do.......they get laws passed that often times do nothing or screw us over.

    Voter Suppression and Why The Republicans Love It So Much?

    If you are interested in a reasonable conservative take on the Georgia Voting Laws, this guy does a pretty good job. I don't agree with every point he makes, but at least he does a good job of supporting his argument. Warning.......he thinks he's a lot funnier than he actually is.

    Voter Suppression and Why The Republicans Love It So Much?

    I find it strange that politicians are involved in determining who can vote and how at all. Should there be some type of non-partisan committee in each state that initiates any changes in voting requirements (ID requirements, timing, food & drink, etc.)?

    Voter Suppression and Why The Republicans Love It So Much?

    Great points. Much better response than simply attacking a party. Genuinely appreciated. Republicans love business rights until those rights have a negative impact on their party, or go against their messages. It's pretty sad. This Republican party doesn't really resemble what the party was...

    Voter Suppression and Why The Republicans Love It So Much?

    I personally would never wait more than an hour. Waiting lines are way too long in some places to vote. Needs to be addressed. However I understand why random people shouldn't be passing out water and snacks. I don't think it would be appropriate for me to be passing out water and snacks telling...

    Voter Suppression and Why The Republicans Love It So Much?

    Absolutely. I do not believe that voter suppression materially impacts election results. People that genuinely want to vote have a million ways to do so. I don't think Republicans can significantly change that fact (even though they probably want to). The comparison of these new laws to Jim Crow...

    Voter Suppression and Why The Republicans Love It So Much?

    This simply demonstrates your inability to genuinely consider the other sides points. Just because someone on Twitter or CNN makes a good counter-argument, doesn't mean that any idea has been "disproven". There certainly were not any "lies" in the original person's post (albeit I'm not sure any...

    Would you prefer that no one bring a counter perspective on the topic? I could respond "Very nice of you to spout the Lib talking points" after 90% of the comments on this thread.

    Voter Suppression and Why The Republicans Love It So Much?

    I look at the idea of voter suppression the same way I look at voter fraud. Neither of these two things have a significant or material impact on election results. They both might very well exist, but it's not making a difference in elections. Go on a conservative message board and you will...

    Deshaun Watson - Allegations

    Anyone else notice how alarmingly silent the talking heads are about this? I haven't heard any major sports podcasters talking about this. Virtually no mention of it on ESPN cable. People who normally would be raising a voice about women's issues like this (Jelele Hill) are completely silent...
