Let's be clear about this:

The Republican administration's clear, stated intention is to provoke ordinary citizens into violent retaliation against Federal agents. This will validate their rhetoric about "violent antifa terrorists" and justify further Federal assaults on state freedoms, up to and including the imposition of martial law.

How many Federal ICE Agents have been killed by protestors? How many protestors have been killed by Federal ICE Agents? That should tell you who wants more dead bodies.
How many dead Russians are there, in the war in Ukraine? How many dead Ukrainians? By your insane calculus, we must conclude that it's the Ukrainians that lust after body count, it's the Ukrainians that are in the wrong. Boop to that.
 
B.S. This is not happening in Texas, or Florida, and many other places. It is happening there because the local authorities have opted for anarchy.
Again, this indicates that it isn't about immigration - there are thousands more undocumented immigrants in Texas and Florida than there are in Minnesota (of all places) - it's about compliance with the Regime. Texas and Florida bow down before the Overlord, and that's why the Overlord doesn't send his jackbooted thugs there.

Funny how the people who just a few years ago were all for "State's Rights" are now saying "Comply with the Federal regime or die".

I deny your analogy. It's a stupid analogy. Russia and Ukraine aren't the same country. Russia is not trying to provoke armed resistance, they're trying to assert control over sovereign territory. Dumb, pathetic analogy.

Good grief. Are you actually contending that there is no immigration enforcement in Texas and Florida?

Texas Accounts for Nearly 1 in 4 ICE Arrests Under Trump, New Report Finds

Funny how the people who just a few years ago were all for "State's Rights" are now saying "Comply with the Federal regime or die".

Immigration was always federal. Always. Whoever is telling you otherwise has taken you for a ride.

No, I'm contending that Texas and Florida are bending down and kissing the boots of the Regime. Pleasing the Master is all they care about.

Immigration was always federal. Always. Whoever is telling you otherwise has taken you for a ride.
Irrelevant. Texas and Florida, despite many decades of rhetoric to the contrary, don't actually care about freedom or liberty when the Master orders them to comply. They'll take the whip and they'll like it and ask for more.
 
Well, mine. Washington. There is no citizenship verification at all.
I know a green card holder who was shocked when he received a jury summons.
I'm having trouble understanding the point in the highlighted sentence. What does a green card holder being shocked to be summoned for jury duty have to do with "no citizenship verification"?
No. There's not. But if you interfere with law enforcement you greatly heighten the chances that something bad happens. But that's exactly what you want, right? You want even more dead bodies.
Show me where he says he wants more dead bodies. There are already rules against personalization.

If he didn't say that, someone is mind-reading.

And, if he didn't say that, someone is spreading a vicious lie.

I guess it's a good thing that the violations are so easy to spot.
 
No. There's not. But if you interfere with law enforcement you greatly heighten the chances that something bad happens. But that's exactly what you want, right? You want even more dead bodies.
There's a trivial truth there, perhaps, but risk is not desire, and something bad is not something good.
 
There is a widespread misconception that only registered voters get jury summons.
As I understand it, non-citizens are barred from jury duty everywhere, though it's not technically a federal issue. There was, it seems, a possible move by California to change that, but it was vetoed by Governor Brown. But since a jury summons is frequently made from motor vehicle registries rather than voter rolls (since, alas, it's more likely for a citizen to drive than to vote) it is quite common for resident aliens to be called for jury duty. Since non-citizenship may be used as a ploy by citizens to dodge jury duty, some jurisdictions may ask for proof, such as an alien registration number (which is on one's green card). It really has nothing do do with whether the requirements for voter registration are rigorous or not.

Jury selection is supposed only to be from persons currently residing in a state also, but this does not prevent errors. My wife was summoned for jury duty in Connecticut years after having moved from Massachusetts to Vermont!
 
Please note inserted correction.

Funny since the evil red states tend to have tighter citizenship verification requirements already in place. I'm not clear how applying those same strict requirements in predominantly blue or swing states would hurt GOP.

Me, I just want it all to be secure, well verified, trustworthy, and the same everywhere.
Your inserted correction is wrong. Federal law requires every state to verify eligibility for federal elections. Whether it is done via automated backend checks or manual review, citizenship verification happens in every state, not just "some."

It is also incredibly disingenuous to "not be clear" on how proactive registration and easy access would hurt the GOP. You are defending a party that spends millions on litigation and legislation specifically to make registration more difficult and voting more onerous. They do not do that for fun. They do it because their own data shows that when more people have easy, proactive access to the booth, they lose.

You claim to want a system that is "the same everywhere," but you only support uniformity when it involves placing hurdles in front of voters. If you actually wanted a secure, uniform, and trustworthy system, you would be advocating for the government to take the burden off the citizen and handle registration themselves. The fact that you only want "strictness" that creates barriers proves that your goal is not integrity. It is exclusion.
 
Wow, the nazi-trolls really have found a good feeding trough here.
Anyway. Right now, what the Dems are doing wrong is not hammering on the Epstein Files. They are letting The Regime distract. Yes, they need to address the evil things The Regime is doing, like executing people in the streets. However after they address the current evil thing, on every medium, they need to bring up the Epstein files, every time, on every subject.
 
I remember Kelly-Anne Conjob opining that voting is such a precious right that standing in line for hours to do so should not be complained about.

This is coming from a person who likely voted by mail. ◊◊◊◊ her.
 
The US for its entire history has had legislation to restrict voting rights.

If you don't want to be seen to follow the tradition you better make sure that the problem of fraud vastly exceeds the problem of disfranchisement.
So far we have people scoffing at disenfranchising literally millions of people because they found 4 instances of fraud that voter ID wouldn't even have prevented. That tells you how honest their stated concerns are.
 
It's one thing that always baffles me as a dutch citizen.
When we have to vote we get a voting form, which can be brought to any voting booth in our municipality, or which can be converted into one that can be brought to any voting booth in the country for those that need to commute a long way.
There are voting areas within walking range in any city/town/village. Usually about three at equal distance.
And you can vote at all major train stations.
There may be lines, but I've never seen one longer than 5-10 minutes.
A passport or drivers license is enough ID when combined with the form which was mailed to your address.
And of course you can vote by mail.

Sure, the US is larger, but the voting booths are organized by the local city councils, so the size should not matter.

Yet somehow the bestest country in the world is unable to get their act together to allow for smooth voting.
