Trump setting up chaos at NC polls

You go to make sure your absentee ballot was registered. If it isn't registered then you can vote. Not voting twice it is making sure. There are instances where ballots have not gotten where they were supposed to go and it crosses party lines.
My state, and maybe every state, provides online tracking so you know with 100% certainty that your ballot was safely received. The ballot is barcoded to identify you. If you vote in person, you are assigned the same bar code and a 2nd voting attempt is thwarted.
 
They are essentially the same thing. Also, 5 states have been doing vote by mail for some time and doing so successfully. Check out the red state Utah.
In Florida they are EXACTLY the same thing. The name "absentee ballot" does not exist in Florida. It is called VBM, for vote by mail. No reason is needed.
 
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

The fear porn machines at Fox News, Rush and Levin are working overtime. My MIL told me that if Biden is elected BLM “people” will be able to take your house. They actually think all of this end of world stuff will happen the day after the election.
 
How are poll workers going to know if someone has returned a mail in ballot? If they mail you a mail in ballot are you not allowed to vote at the polls? Not trying to argue. Just asking a question.
I believe the voter roll is to be highlighted at least in NC if someone was sent a ballot per NBC news last night.

I'm guessing RT television is alarmed as well.
 
Because Trump is truly lawless and corrupt, he AGAIN urged voters to vote twice, this time during a rally in Pennsylvania.

All registered voters in Ohio received paperwork to request an absentee ballot. My wife and I downloaded filled out our apps early. The Board of Elections said they would be mailed to us on October 4th. Since we've already had first hand experience with the postal tampering we're dropping ours off at the Board of Elections drop box.

Thanks for an answer. I asked question. Wasn’t looking for a fight. That’s not possible. I’ll go back to staying away. Thanks again.
 
This election is going to be an ugly mess.

On election night, I expect Trump will be leading in many states. And then the slow count will begin of all the mail in ballots which may take a couple of weeks. .... and Bidens numbers will steadily improve. In the meantime... it will be a daily circus
No wayyyyy Biden wins fairly

Sure. It’s the Dems that are begging to get foreign help once again and refuse to do anything about interference from other countries. They’ve turned down bill after bill put up to guarantee fair elections. Almost like they know they can’t win without cheating.

(no Trumpflake or conservative will seriously address this issue. Much like the USPS shenanigans.)
 
it's really sad on so many levels. chief should always be the will of the people and to intentionally attempt to thwart that is as low as it gets. anyway, i forget the date but irrespective of pending litigation january 20 (i think) he's out whether it's in dispute or not

The last 4 years have not taught you anything about Trump bro? He is unscrupulous and will do anything to get rich -- and now that he has realised the power of the office, paramount is to try and stay in power.
Fortunately, like most Trump efforts/ventures they tend to land up in failure.

narcissistic personality disorder on display every waking moment. i'm very much looking forward to the debates. if nothing else it'll be entertaining as hell
 
Care to address it? Thoughts on Senate Intel Report on Russian interference? Otherwise, I’m correct and you’re running with your tail between your legs.

Keep chasing Russian/Trump collusion.

As they say in England, Trump is like marmite. You either love or hate it.

The debates won't serve any purpose other than entertainment or some clickbait headlines which Trump wouldn't mind. Two old men duking it out verbally.

The reality is that with Trump's 2nd Term or Biden's 1st, the country will be handicapped or worse handcuffed by its financial burden. There will be few economic or financial remedies going forward other than to kick the can down the road.

Revenues need to be raised in order to improve the crumbling infrastructure, educational system etc. But how do you raise revenues when taxes have been so stigmatised that it is political suicide?

Even with a Biden administration, I don't see massive changes now that the financial hole's even deeper -- and unless he has control of both houses and then raises taxes ie to take on for the team/country and lose the next election. And then only for the Pubs to drop taxes once again!

Vicious spiralling cycle to the bottom... unless the country re-looks at itself and its values. Not everything or success is defined by $$ like how Trump sees it.

i'm still optimistic. after the shit show of 08 things got going under obama and carried on under trump. if we can just get this pandemic behind us with a vaccine i think we'll be okay again. it'll just take some time to dig out. without controlling the pandemic nothing can happen. the status quo with the pandemic is untenable.

The pandemic is like a stress test on a steel beam or concrete foundation. If it wasn't the pandemic it may have been something else.
The vaccine is like a metaphor. It may stop the rot but what happens in the next inevitable major stress test? The only thing it still does well is to fight wars (-- but under Trump, it may have to fight wars alone without coalitions.)

Otherwise, the other parts/foundation of the system ain't doing too great. And probably made worse now that trump has injected politics into once-venerable institutions or even discredited them.

Also a widening disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street needs to be addressed.

I'm not sure if there would be a big problem if taxes were put back to the higher income level rates pre-Trump on the top end earners. I know Fox will tell everyone how horrible it is that the wealthy have to pay more taxes but how does that really affect Joe Six Pack?

Why are the Democrats for lifting the SALT cap of $10,000? It would be a boon for the top 0.1%.

Corporate tax increases are significant under Biden

I’d be fine with keeping C corp rates where they are. I have a big issue with treating pass throughs the same. Those should be returned to the personal tax rates.

I agree with you here. This is a subsidy for homeowners. I don’t like it in general and I certainly don’t like it for the very wealthy.

I'm trying to figure out the rationale. We hear over and over how the rich old white dudes should pay more.
 
Political. Democrat states typically have higher property taxes.
They should vote to enact change at the state and local level.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for everyone paying less in taxes. I'm sure I'm in the minority here.

Why shouldn’t pass through entities be treated the same?

Because that is how pass throughs are structured - to tax the money at the individual rates. If a business doesn’t want to do that, it can elect C corp status.

C Corps aren’t good for family owned businesses. They should be able to compete equally with C Corps regarding taxes.

So pass throughs should be taxed at the corp level and comp to individuals taxed at personal rates?

He has lost money being president
