The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The ACLU used to be an honorable organization that *I* gave money to.

No longer.

In 2018, the Trump administration announced plans to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, with the goal of suppressing participation of immigrant communities, stunting their growing political influence.


And this is how leftists game the system. Blue states would actually love to have more illegals running around being paid for by the feds -and- have them count in the census…because that means more democrat electoral votes.

Of course it also means fewer services and what not for democrat voters, but they seem to not mind.

The ID itself can be costly, and even when IDs are free, applicants must incur other expenses to obtain the underlying documents that are needed to get an ID. This can be a significant burden on people in lower-income communities.

Amd here’s the ACLU’s partisan dishonesty. Most of the states that passed vote ID laws went out of their way to make it easy to get voter ID.

Just for you here’s the NYT’s “analysis” of Georgia’s law:

nytimes.com - Georgia voting law annotated

Basically, liberals
1) Believe that there should be no responsibility on the part of the voter
2) Love to wax on about the sanctity of “democracy”, but wink at people who bend the rules or outright rig stuff.

Before you folks deny #2, here: time.com - Secret election campaign

PA libs cheered.
