I wonder - might any of those GOP databases @VickerySec found indicate if someone was both a gun enthusiast AND ineligible to vote because of past convictions?
I mean, the federal government seems the logical place to cross-check weapons and past convictions in other jurisdictions...

of course, though, conservatives are so against having a central US Identity and letting the US Govt know if they own guns, how many, and what kind...
Dunno, it's just so weird to me that they are okay with the politicians that run government having access to that information from private sources so they can use it for profit.
And that they don't mind if Russia gets that info from the GOP, just not from the federal government...

I really can't get my head around it.

Clearly, there needs to be a single point of reference for all legislation to reference - i.e. a legislative dictionary, where words like 'emergency' and 'crisis' and 'broadcast' are defined, clearly, with etymological roots where necessary, to simplify the code&obviate loopholes
And any nuance in specific uses of a term - i.e. a selected subset of specific events/technologies to which it is applied - can be outlined in new legislation, but can not exceed the limits of that word in its common usage across all legislation, as defined in the 'dictionary.'
And absent any nuances addressed in legislation, all legislation must apply to the broadest possible sense of the term.

Just saw @JillYavorsky1 on @MSNBC re: women and workplace equality, but one of the most important barriers to female success in top leadership positions wasn't mentioned: because corporations demands surrendering empathy to engage in an amoral pursuit of profit for the top gigs.
This is NOT a problem with women - it's an institutional and structural societal problem that puts women in a position of compromising their humanity and undermining their own morality to achieve the topmost positions...
which, I believe, is often a compromise and unappealing tradeoff, shaping career choice early on, leading women to select careers along a different path that does not conflict with morality, and ultimately does not result in incomes in the top 1%.

I do not believe anyone should be able to participate in ANY presidential primary unless they

1) submit to a TS/SCI clearance screening, &
2) willingly waive any affirmative Statute of Limitations defense in all domestic jurisdiction - to ensure all accusations get due process
3) No history of predatory crimes or civil fraud against others... and MUST HAVE EMPATHY.

Whether that be determined from a panel psych eval or some other means....
Addenda

4) Release taxes AND full financial disclosure for self, family members

@WhiteHouse for the first time in #american history a spker of house has revoked an invitation to a duly elected #POTUS to speak before the nation. These traditions are what "Makes America Great" #Pelosi is very extreme and is denying our #SOTU speech. #WWG1WGA #MAGA #sadness
We don't have a 25th amendment to apply to @SpeakerPelosi but we do have to begin to ask is she "mentally competent" She has grabbed power and control of our budget, boarder security and #SOTUS speech. This is "fascistic" In nature and destroying our country.
Here is a list of #fascistic techniques of #putin and #pelosi

-Supporting Hamas
-Supporting Hezbollah
-Supporting Antifa
-Supporting Destroying the Constitution
-Supporting Open Boarders
-Taxing 70% of your wealth

These are tactics of #Fascist - destruction is the end goal

The Myth of the Lazy Nonvoter

1. You’ve probably seen articles like this today and, hopefully, you’re reading them — and not just for the joy of watching the #GOP squirm at a squeaking defeat in what should’ve been a GOP blowout. The reactions of the opposition are strategic clues. apple.news/AmbTmoZhNTRqtK…
2. Particularly, I want to draw your attention to this statement from Paul Ryan. Basically, he’s pointing out that because Lamb didn’t have a primary opponent, he was able to run as a more conservative Dem which allowed him to win a district DT won by 20 pts.
3. Let’s unpack that a little. Two things are implied here. One, they know that GOP (and their support of DT) is frowned on enough that there is willingness to vote Dem in red districts with palatable messaging (moderate, willingness to work in a bipartisan manner).
