Yes and if those people want to donate money, they should be allowed to as individuals.

Totally agree. I'll take it a step further. If it can't vote, it can't donate money. Only registered voters should be allowed to donate money to campaigns. Not PACs. Not corporations.

Yes. It was one of the results after 9-11. That being Real ID. And Maryland was one of the first states to redo their licences. However, last year, the Trump Administration changed the requirements which is why Maryland is now having to get people to come back to the MVA with the newly required...

No. It's not their responsibility. If you want to blame anyone, blame the Trump Administration. They're the one who changed the requirements last year. They're the reason Maryland, and other states, are having to recall licenses.

So now she turned down Israel's offer? That's really messed up.

CNN didn't make it up. Trump "tweeted" it. Apparently, Israel is now going to allow Rashida Tlaib, to enter on humanitarian grounds so that she can see her grandmother, after Tlaib promised to “not promote boycotts” during her stay.

The news story I posted covers your license. There was a group of licensees who had until June to bring their documents to the MVA. That deadline was extended to July. So now, the people who didn't meet the deadline are having their licenses recalled. The next group of people have until...

You can't immigrate to a place that belongs to your own country. The original 13 colonies belonged to Britain. The colonists traveled and settled in their own country's territory. It would be like saying that an American citizen, who lives in Maryland, decides to move to Guam. Then calling...

Exactly. That would be very reasonable.

I never said that I disagreed with the rule change itself. Or that it should never change.

Set the new rules going forward. Some sort of "grandfathering" would be reasonable. Sort of like when they raised the drinking age. When that happened in MD, I had already turned 18. When it was raised to 21, I was grandfathered in and could still buy alcohol if I chose to.

I have mixed feeling about the "public charge" changes. On one hand, I do agree that people should demonstrate some sort of ability to be self supporting; however, I don't agree with the rules being changed mid-stream. There are people out there who have been following the rules and may have...

Not being a leftist, I don't have contact with the "leftist horde".

^^^^^ Yes That. There was a simple solution available to all who did not like the event. Stay the h*ll home and mind your own business. It's interesting to note that those who put on the event and those who attended the event were not the ones who caused any of the problems that occurred...
