New York Times Front-Page Story on Attempts to Make it More Difficult for Initiatives to Get on Ballot — 28 Comments

  1. But of course the New York Times won’t cover the ongoing legal battle against their own state’s harsh candidate ballot access laws. It would go against their narrative.

  2. Also the NY Times didn’t mention that Democrats in the California legislature are unanimously supporting the bill to outlaw paying initiative circulators on a per-signature basis, which will hugely drive up the cost of getting an initiative on the ballot.

  3. The urban parts of New York and California could sink into the ocean and the country as a whole would be, better off.

  4. Always super-easy to be a LOOTER —
    for 6,000 plus years.

    *modern* versions — communists 1848-2021.

  5. The urban parts of California and New York contain a disproportionate share of very talented scientists and scholars and other creative people, in technology, in science and the arts.

  6. Richard is a communist, so of course he will praise the most communist parts of the country. Those areas also have the highest crime and most people leeching off the system.

  7. Here’s some of my favorite Lukashenko quotes:

    “People who speak Belarusian can not do anything except talk on it, because it is impossible to express anything great in Belarusian. The Belarusian language is a poor language. There are only two great languages in the world. Russian and English.”

    “My position and the state will never allow me to become a dictator, but an authoritarian style of rule is characteristic of me, and I have always admitted it. You need to control the country, and the main thing is not to ruin people’s lives.”

    “Aggression has been committed, and the country’s leadership, not only Muammar Gaddafi, has been killed. And how was he killed? Well, if they had shot him in a battle, it’s one thing, but they humiliated and tormented him, they shot at him, they violated him when he was wounded, they twisted his neck and arms, and then they tortured him to death. It’s worse than the Nazis once did. Besides, the United States, Italy, France and Germany have up to $150 billion of Libyan money now. They are very interested to grab this wealth. Everything will be even worse in Libya, because it has colossal deposits of resources, and everyone has rushed there to grab those riches.”

    “If someone is a lesbian, it’s man’s fault.”

    “As for those who are screaming about dictatorship…when I hear that come up I think that it is better to be a dictator – than to be gay.”

  8. They were just dealing with a bomb threat and harmful, disruptive fake news. CNN is also fake news. Biden couldn’t find his ass with both hands. I agree with Tony and fact checker, we need a strong leader like Lukashenko. I can’t wait for Trump to be back. He’ll be even better and stronger the second time around.

  9. Also I’m just agreeing with Tony and fact checker. Why aren’t you asking if their troll posting or someone else? Do you know them?

  10. When Trump gets back in, I hope he treats our fake news and rioters the way Lukashenko treats his.

  11. Troll morons with fake names are REAL troll morons – communist and fascist versions.

  12. Demo rep is the only one with a fake name here who’s not a troll moron, or so he thinks.
