I think them trying to explain to Null why he's wrong about immigrants was really, really funny.
Does it annoy you a little that Null banned you and dozens of other people for "taking Hogan's bait", just to turn around and get epically trolled by the master ruseman a few months later? Are we finally admitting that he's not baiting or trolling, but simply an assmad leftoid retard?
 
can an american explain to me how the election/voting process actually works in america?

for reference, here's how it goes in my euro country:
>a few weeks before the election, local administration sends election notice letters to all citizens, informing them when and where they can vote
>on election day you go to that place
>you show them your election notice and your personal ID card
>they check your ID card, make sure that you're on their list of eligible voters within that district, then hand you the ballot
>you fill out the ballot in a little private stall then drop it in the ballot box

how does the process in america compare to this?
It varies from state, but here is how it has been going lately

>before Election Day, polls are open for early voting
>if your unable to vote in person, you can apply for a mail-in ballot (or get one from your local Democrat party)
>when checking in to vote either at early voting or Election Day, you may be asked for your ID depending on what state you live in because "that's racist" 😡
>mail-in ballots are accepted on and up to several weeks after Election Day because "every vote counts" 🤪
 
Newsom is investigating the fraud:

Sorry, he’s actually investigating Dr. Oz for hate speech for pointing out the fraud.
Next time do free speech like hitting a law enforcement officer with a car instead of a crime like reporting that you think a fraud might be occurring. He should have at least done his reporting in the very cool and legal format of storming into a church and shouting the accusations.

It varies state-by-state, that's roughly how my state handles it. I don't know if we get letters but votes are always on the same day so you know when to go by default, and the voting centers have "[City] Voting Precinct" signs on them, usually in community centers but sometimes churches, fire departments, maybe other places

When you turn in your ballot it gets scanned and you can double check to make sure it scanned right, it lets you know if you skipped or double filled any slots and lets you fix it

Pretty similar with some important exceptions. One important thing is individual states run their own elections not the federal government, so each state has their own specific idiosyncrasies.

I'm general you register to vote in the county you are a permanent resident in. You typically have to show something to prove you actually live there like utility bills addressed to you or a drivers license....which just requires some mail addressed to you where you claim to live. Some places you can just have someone who is already registered to vote say you live there and it's good enough for them (see Minnesota). Note that none of these things prove citizenship and eligibility to vote.

For most people you then go to your designated polling place and vote. Some places require an ID when you go to vote, some just require you say who you are and where you live. Some places allow vote by mail or now vote by web. Some places allow helpful totally not political activists go door to door offering to sit down with you and help you fill out your ballot correctly and will drop it off for you.

If you have a close eye, you may say this is a batshit crazy system where anyone could vote if they wanted to and makes fraudulently voting trivial easy. The answer is yes, yes it is as stupid as it appears.

Assaulting a federal officer is like... Bananas and rice.

Has anyone ever had bananas and rice? Like how do you prepare it to make it not just babyfood slop.
No clue, I imagine it could be good if you made it like Thai khao niew mamuang. Which is rice cooked in coconut milk and served with mango and sesame seeds. I imagine substituting banana for the mango wouldn't be terrible. Somalians probably just mash bananas and rice together like toddlers though.

Thread tax: So originally she was detained for assaulting a federal officer. She left that part out of her speech. My guess is this is a formal arrest after obtaining a warrant.
I looked up news articles of the arrest and they all conspicuously leave that out too. They say she got a concussion, but they don’t elaborate on how. I’m gonna start calling this phenomenon ‘victimizing by omission.’
 
Hogan bitching about how they don't mass thread ban there too was funny. It didn't take much for me to get it, they run to mods constantly lol.
I've been threadbanned by Null personally and told to kill myself because people pinged me into the Synthetic Man thread and I told them to eat shit. The pissing and moaning from TES regulars is funny to me.
Does it annoy you a little that Null banned you and dozens of other people for "taking Hogan's bait", just to turn around and get epically trolled by the master ruseman a few months later? Are we finally admitting that he's not baiting or trolling, but simply an assmad leftoid retard?
No. That was the funniest fucking thing that I've seen happen on this site since I joined. The 9/11 Kiwicaust is my favorite event so far.

It wasn't for that. I looked into it and confirmed a couple users banned who did not specifically quote or mention HHH. Null was mad a timely and important thread was shat up and I assume he started just mass resolving every report with a week ban. It's possible that on top of that HHH and everyone who talked to him were banned, but at least it wasn't the only criterion.

Anyway, the crucial difference is that Null thinks that the TES thread is neither timely nor important.

I was not involved in any of that. Nobody has ever been banned for talking to me.
