Dems suck at messaging because the entire media apparatus does republicans' work for them.

My understanding is not that they pick it up and carry it back, but rather they don't make it far past the line of it before it shreds them to death, and thus they can't leave their scent trail to anything inside your house.

We've successfully used it to stop a sugar ant invasion.

It's literally what's happening.

Texas used the same concept to empower private people to sue abortion providers and receivers under civil law since they couldn't do it criminally.

The country as a whole has done it for a long time with cellphone data, the five eyes alliance, etc.

They have access to information they're barred from getting directly themselves, and they get it from private companies. Spying by proxy.

Again, what good would this do if you are in a war torn country that cannot secure its elections?

So they amend their constitution. During a war. To force people into the streets to vote.

How does the government make sure the election is fair? Some people won't be able to vote due to danger. Some will be attacked. Some areas are occupied, and the occupation lines may change during the election.

If they tried to run an election now, Russia would publish their own results showing that the occupied areas voted for Putin. Trying to run elections is hard enough in normal times, doing so with Russia literally holding a large swath of your country is impossible.

Yeah, and they'll probably side when the accused abuser, even though they didn't give a single fuck when it was people accused of nebulous terrorism ties not being able to fly.

Reagan made up a bunch of shit. He had Alzheimer's, and people would tell him things. Either he willfully misrepresented or was beginning to lose the ability to sift fact from fiction.

He also claimed that vets were spit on when they came back, but they didn't come back from Vietnam through normal commercial airports, and there was a vibrant internal military protest movement, which everyone knew about. No one was spitting on random soldiers, and in the event that it happened once, it wasn't an organized zeitgeist like they tried to make it out to be.

Regressives are liars.

Which goes a long way toward explaining why someone in that situation would be pissed off enough to write exactly what they wrote.

He looks like a slightly older Santos.

This. Pretty much every company that does business with the US or a US state has clauses in their contract about "boycotting" Israel, poorly defined on purpose.

We already have those. It's called EBT/food stamps, and we just outsource it to local grocers and philanthropy food banks.
