So he’s not using one of those “hack-proof” phones, with none of his favorite apps.

When I vote in person, without thinking I’ll usually try to hand them my Driver’s License—especially since the pandemic and wearing a mask—in case they don’t understand me saying my name. But they always wave it away, sometimes even seeming to make a point of not looking at it. In MN you don’t have to show ID to vote if your voter registration is current and active.

“May” violate federal law? It just screams “how can this not be illegal?”

Imagine if some leftist billionaire was doing the exact same thing? There would be mass outrage and condemnation.

This stupid border wall question. Anderson Cooper quoted thing she said disparaging Trump’s border wall and then tried a “gotcha” with “you support the border bill that has funding for the border wall, do you still think it’s stupid?” It’s ridiculous on its face because she didn’t write the bill, Congress did. It’s pretty weak sauce.
