That's great - so they should be all in favor of universal vote-by-mail and/or having the election on a Saturday! Kind of surprising that the states that have that tend to be liberal bastions.

Also this is interesting that it kind of undercuts the "economic anxiety" explanation for Trump's election. I await further enlightenment.

I have to admit that I just do not get how you equate BLM, Antifa never Trump ass hattery with voting

While the Democrats and their media allies attempt to bring down the Trump presidency with a determination reminiscent of Wile E. Coyote’s pursuit of the Road Runner, the president’s efforts to shrink the size and scope of government are producing some very positive economic results.

...

It takes real determination to ignore the numbers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of people working increased by 395,000 from February to May of this year. By contrast, the increase for the same period last year under President Obama was 15,000. Now at 6.9 million, the number of people unemployed is at its lowest level since May 2007, seven months before the recession began.

...

A better indicator of labor market strength is the U-6 unemployment rate, a broader measure that many economists consider the real unemployment rate. It counts people as unemployed for a year (rather than just 30 days) after they give up their job search and counts people as unemployed who are working part time because they are unable to find full time jobs. At 8.4 percent, this measure has dropped a full percentage point since January and is now at its lowest level since November 2007, the month before the recession began.

The percentage of Americans working is also higher. The four months following President Trump’s inauguration are the only months since February 2009 in which 60 percent or more of Americans were employed. For prime working age Americans, or those 24 to 55 years old, the percent employed has increased to levels last seen in late 2008.

And, the jobs are better. Since February, the number of people working full time has increased by 589,000 while the number working part time decreased by 188,000. For the comparable period last year, full time workers increased 22,000 and part time workers increased 75,000.

Who brought up economics? And wanted "further enlightenment?"

For all the great Peoples' Republik shit that goes on, the roads have massive potholes in them everywhere, except where they're run and paved by private entities (like homeowners' associations).

Kansas awaits you. I hear it's a libertarian paradise.
 
I'd add that Libertarians don't believe victimless crimes should be crimes.

Not only because I simply like people, but because of the victimless crime bit, "illegal" immigration is a joke.

The obvious others are drugs, prostitution, seat belt laws, and the like.

If those officers who were with those dudes playing baseball didn't have guns, that guy probably would of killed every one you realize that right? gun control is the dumbest argument. Do you even understand how many guns are in this country? by this whole gun control narrative, their should be WAY more murders and gun related violence. It's a mental health problem for the millionth time though I do think there needs to be more strict background checks.
 
shits getting real yo.

only a matter of time...

A growing number of House Republicans are facing physical threats from angry constituents in their districts, leading many to fear for their safety.

In the last few weeks alone, the FBI arrested a man threatening Rep. Martha McSally's (R-Ariz.) life, a woman pursued Rep. David Kustoff (R-Tenn.) in her car, and Rep. Tom Garrett (R-Va.) heightened security at a town hall event in response to death threats.

Other Republicans still holding town halls say they haven't felt physically threatened by protesters, but they worry about the depth of anger from some constituents in the polarized environment and what it means for political civility.

...

The FBI arrested a Tucson, Ariz. man for leaving three threatening messages on McSally’s congressional office voicemail, in which he allegedly said her days “were numbered” and threatened to shoot her. A criminal complaint filed last week in the U.S. District Court in Tucson said the suspect told agents he was upset over McSally’s votes to back up Trump.

McSally represents the same swing district previously represented by then-Rep. Gabby Giffords (D), who was shot in the head in 2011 during a constituent meet-and-greet.

In Tennessee, a woman angry over Kustoff’s vote for the GOP's healthcare bill this month pursued a car carrying him from an event at a local university. Kustoff and a staffer eventually turned into a driveway and came to a stop. Then the woman approached the car, yelled at Kustoff and struck the car’s windows, according to local reports.

Meanwhile, Garrett spokesman Andrew Griffin said the freshman lawmaker has received at least three death threats over the course of the healthcare debate.

One constituent called Garrett’s Washington office and said if his healthcare is taken away, he would take Garrett’s life away. Another person sent a message to Garrett’s campaign Facebook page with graphic details describing how they would kill Garrett.

Griffin said investigating authorities have asked not to publicly reveal any details about the third case yet.

In light of all the threats, Garrett made sure to increase security at his town hall in Moneta, Va. last week.

A security presence at town halls hasn’t prevented some physical confrontations. A constituent angry over the GOP’s healthcare bill approached Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), took dollar bills from his wallet and tried to shove them into the lawmaker’s suit pocket, the Bismarck Tribune reported.

Other times, the lawmakers targeted by the most extreme protesters don’t end up getting the brunt of the hostility.

Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) wasn’t home when his young daughter found a sign on the family’s lawn last week that read: “Traitors put party above country Do the right thing for once, shithead.”

“Attack me, protest against me, but do not frighten my children at their home,” Fortenberry said in an interview with Fox News’s Neil Cavuto.

“If we are going to be a true civil society that actually upholds the values of liberty and free speech, which means respect for differences and trying to work that out through the ballot box if necessary, but also through rational conversation.”

Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) described protesters vandalizing his Gainesville, Fla. office and threatening his staff. One female constituent left a message on the office answering machine for the district director, saying, “Next time I see you, I’m going to beat your f---ing ass.”

He decided to only allow visitors into the Gainesville office who have an appointment after protesters kept showing up every week in the front lobby. The protesters subsequently complained that their representative was trying to block their access, but Yoho felt he had no other choice.

“They’re mad to the point where they’re cussing at my staff, pushed one of them, poured stuff on one of the staff’s car,” Yoho told The Hill. “If they start acting responsible and respectable, we’ll do the same.”

Yoho's recent town hall in the same town as his vandalized district office was a calmer affair. Attendees made it clear at times they didn't agree with him on the issues, but they remained civil.
 
I don't get how people can be upset over a health care bill that those "enlightened" among us have no clue (and mock) what the content is.
 
Suicide is another victimless crime. If someone with terminal disease wants to end their life with a gun, why not? They surely considered alternatives.
