Our president is more of a jerk than he is a dumbie. But we knew that when we elected him.

We elected donald trump and we got donald trump. So we shouldn't be all that surprised.

No seriously. As I said, there is no reason for me to dig in my heels on this topic that means nothing to me. If you think there is evidence out there that shows it has happened then share it. I'd like to read it.

If I am delusional then help me gain more knowledge on the topic, please. Share what you know.
No, thanks. I've fallen for that one before. Good day to you, sir.

Well ok then. I will assume your refusal to back up your claims is for the reason you state and not because you can't. It's a shame that you have decided that I am closed minded and unwilling to accept any information that doesnt support my view because that simply isn't true. I think I have been consistent in showing that I welcome all relevant, credible information. Sorry to burst your assumption bubble.

Here are three that took me less than five minutes to locate. As I said, none of them are "valid" as none are from CNN or the New York Times, but they are at least as valid as anything Christine Ford took to the Senate hearings, so . . .

So on the one hand, Trump's assertion is not true in the broad sense, but is true in the technical sense. But on the other hand, if you want to get even more precise, it's not true in the technical sense because these are not state-level elections we're talking about. And on the third hand, if you're dead-set on finding a way that Trump's statement is true, then you can go to an even deeper technical level by saying that these municipal elections are happening "in"—meaning, inside the geographic boundaries—of states. So the ultimate truth or falsity here rests on what the meaning of the word "in" is. Bill Clinton would be proud.

I think you are aware that people registered to vote in local school board voting is not the type of elections we are discussing. No problem with those sources but THAT is not what you are claiming is happening.

And I would vote against that being allowed if it came up for vote in my local school district as I feel that non-citizens should have no right to vote in any official election.

The principle is the same. Voter registration is voter registration. But you already knew that.

That is simply an inaccurate statement. The eligibility to vote in state and federal elections is not up for debate and eligible to be changed by local vote. It's a giant leap of logic from one to the next.

Birthright citizenship—so much more diverting to speak about that and the meaning of IN than about boring stuff like, say, pre-existing conditions.

Not to mention that it is pretty far down the list of problems that requires our country's attention at this time.

Hey man, it only took five minutes. Give him a break if he can't back up his bullshit statement.

I disagree. But that's irrelevant because we couldn't fix it if we wanted to.

Millions of americans also disagree. But Trump's rants on jobs and immigration get the biggest cheers, so that is what republican voters are told is most important. Gotta defend ourselves from those foreign invaders, ya know? Please.

First, healthcare is not and should not be the purview of government. Second, the problem is the artificial structure created by third party payors. Remove that, allow the free market to do its job, and you have no problems. Third, all of that is a moot point if you don’t have jobs and livable wages.
