Iran desperately wants Trump to win, so all bets are off.
I must be missing something; why is it they'd want the guy who negated the JCPOA agreement and just loves him a Natanyahu? _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"
The timing on this couldn’t be worse, and unless it’s resolved really quickly, it’s a negative for democrats. If the administration supports the workers and strike goes on for awhile, the impacts the economy will be will be bad for democrats. If Biden steps in, democrats are seen as not supporting unions, also bad for democrats.
It’s certainly a bit of an optics issue, but in truth, I don’t think it’s going to move the needle much. The people that are going to react negatively to it and hold it against the Democrats are people who were already doing so because of their lack of understanding about how the economy works. And I highly doubt anyone left of center is going to hold it against Biden. The prospect of Biden coming down on the union is nil, so he doesn’t have to worry there. And in fact, backing the union may help him with some purple state laborers. _________________ HARRISWALZ2024

Also, the economic effects won't be felt until after the election. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"
...It’s disgraceful that most of these foreign-owned shipping companies are engaged in a ‘Make and Take’ operation: They want to make their billion-dollar profits at United States ports, and off the backs of American ILA longshore workers, and take those earnings out of this country and into the pockets of foreign conglomerates. Meanwhile, ILA dedicated longshore workers continue to be crippled by inflation due to USMX’s unfair wage packages. “
“In addition, the shippers are gouging their customers that result in increased costs to American consumers. They are now charging $30,000 for a full container, a whopping increase from $6,000 per container just a few weeks ago. In just a short time, they went from 6K, to 18K, then 24K and now $30,000. It’s unheard of and they are doubling their $30,000 fee stuffing the same container from multiple shippers. They are killing the customers.”

How does the state verify the person inputting informaton is really the person asking to be removed? Wouldn't it be something like verification through previously registered email/cell phone?
*I swear trying to wade through untrue BS to get to the truth is burdensome with all the falsehoods out there.
People are making this sound like joe blow could input anyones name and dob and get them removed from the voter roll?

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Song by Gil Scott-Heron
The Gaza war is being televised. Attack plans before they happen are on the 6:00 news. Pictures of devastation and bodies covered with sheets are on newsfeeds daily. As I ink this MSNBC is showing a skyline in Israel with air raid sirens sounds in the background and intercepted missiles exploding onscreen. What the hell are we devolving to? You ain't seen nothing yet. If Trump wins the election what you're seeing is a horrifying prelude. SMH

Just so you know, Charlie Kirk is a far-right wing pro-Nazi propaganda spreading Trumper. I'd prefer to have news items confirmed by actual news organizations.

What particular news items in this tweet do you dispute?

I didn’t say those things aren’t happening. But you following and posting things from Charlie Kirk is pretty telling about you and your overall goals here.

I post tweets/articles from all over the spectrum of political ideologies.. The truth is neither left or right wing.

Charlie Kirk isn’t a spectrum of political ideology. He’s a racist who’s only goal is fomenting chaos.
Posts from right-wing trolls are just posts from a right-wing trolls. They may or may not contain truth or facts. Any one post is not a reliable way of obtaining news.
Posts from news organizations reporting facts is a more reliable way of obtaining news.
So if you would like to post links to news, that would show interest in helping us all ingest the breaking-news.
Posting links to right-wing trolls shows an interest in helping the right-wing troll spread whatever propaganda/opinion/slant he is pushing at the moment.

Exactly...no one with a brain should be posting or even reading Charlie Kirk crap. He is a right wing, Trump loving, nutjob. He is a conspiracy nut and lies about everything he talks about.
No thanks, let's not post about this fool unless we always want to post about the My Pillow Guy as well.
LOL! The strike started 12 hours ago . . . Charlie Jerk makes it sound like the country is billions in loses already . . . _________________ HARRISWALZ2024

True, but Charlie's hardly a good source for truth. _________________ HARRISWALZ2024
