    Johnson appeared with Trump during Friday’s press conference where the Republicans leaders unveiled legislation that would ban non-U.S. citizens from voting, something already illegal.

      So it’s all for show for their base?

    Most of the articles I read about voter fraud are about Republicans committing it.

      It’s why they’re so mad when they still lose. Even cheating hard as they can is no longer guaranteed to win them majority control.

    So. He didn’t actually hit Johnson?

    Too bad. Chode has it coming.

    “Why would they do this?” Johnson said on Friday. “Why would they allow this chaos? Why the violence? Because they want to turn these people into voters.”

    People who legally enter the US as registered immigrants (not legal migrants seeking asylum or illegal immigrants), with diligence, study, and work, can become US citizens in as little as 18-24 months. They couldn’t vote in November if they were on the fastest track to citizenship.

      Enter legally how?

      This isn’t my experience, at least not with highly qualified H1B or other technical workers. I know some that have been waiting 5-10+ years. They work diligently and study hard, but there’s more to the process.

        I’ve read that it can be more difficult to naturalize work Visas than visitor Visas from a port of entry. It’s awful to hear it’s been that long waiting for a reply. We need a more clear path to naturalization. Our birth rate is in decline, and that’s a much better solution than forcing people to have unwanted children.

        My previous comment was more a point that even if an immigrant met every requirement, there’s still no way they’d be eligible to vote this November.

      You have to add a source because there is nearly a 0% chance of that being true. Our immigration process is infamous for being excruciatingly long and drawn out. You might be able to get residency if you’re lucky, but definitely not citizenship

        Agreed. My comment was to point out that with a “best possible” naturalization process, they’d still be ineligible to vote in November. I read 18-24 months on this site. I assume it’s very optimistic.

    Clyburn is like my spirit animal, the CAMEL. He can kick, bite, and otherwise mess them up!

        They can also regurgitate their esophagus and make a noise with it while hanging out of their mouth… it’s rather disturbing to see in real life.

        edit: It’s called the dulla and is from the bottom of their esophagus before the stomach and is done to attract females lol.
