Fox News disappeared what he said: On this campus, we almost never post on Sundays. For that reason, the intrepid Joe DePaolo beat us to the story.
We'd seen it happen in real time, early Sunday morning. Over at Mediaite, DePaolo reported the sifting of information Fox News engineered.
Indeed, DePaolo went well beyond what we ourselves had seen. Under a somewhat colorful headline, his report started like this:
Fox News Completely Ignores Trump’s Bonkers Statement on Mueller’s Death On Air
President Donald Trump’s shocking post celebrating the death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller has not received a single on-air mention over at Fox News.
According to a search using the media monitoring service Snapstream, Fox News has not mentioned the president’s statement a single time on its air since Mueller’s passing on Saturday.
“Good, I’m glad he’s dead,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday afternoon. “He can no longer hurt innocent people!”
That jaw-dropping postscript on the life of a decorated public servant has received nary a mention on air at Fox News. The network’s chief political analyst Brit Hume did denounce Trump’s comments in a post on X. And other network contributors have—in social media posts—similarly condemned Trump’s remarks. The network also did cover Trump’s remarks on its website, and in an X post on the Fox News account, But that criticism has not been seen by Fox News viewers. And viewers haven’t heard about Trump’s words at all.
The sitting president had made a "jam-dropping" statement about Mueller's death. But according to DiPaolo's research, viewers of the Fox News Channel hadn't heard about that at all!
At this point, the story gets even better—or you might say it gets even worse.
As DiPaolo continued, he reported what viewers had heard about Mueller's death on Sunday morning's Fox & Friends Weekend broadcast. On this campus, we ourselves had seen that carefully sifted report.
The report was delivered by Charlie Hurt at 6:23 a.m. This is what we saw him say:
HURT (3/22/26): Former FBI director and special counsel Robert Mueller, who led the 2016 election interference probe tied to Russia, has died. His family releasing a statement, writing, quote, "With deep sadness, we are sharing the news that Bob passed away. His family asks that their privacy be respected."
Former President George W. Bush, who nominated Mueller, says he is deeply saddened by the loss and praised him for his service to the country, writing, quote, ‘Bob transitioned the agency mission to protecting the homeland after September 11. He led it effectively, helping prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil."
While a cause of death has not been released, Mueller battled Parkinson's for several years, He was 81 years old.
That was Hurt's full statement. The three friends engaged in no further discussion of Mueller's death.
Indeed, searching the Internet Archive records, we find no sign that Mueller was ever mentioned again during Sunday's four-hour broadcast. And yes, we ourselves were struck by the apparent "sifting" Fox producers had performed in fashioning the text which Hurt faithfully read.
As you may know, Fox & Friends Weekend is co-hosted by a trio of friends. They're very friendly with each other—and they're especially friendly with respect to the sitting president.
Indeed, almost everyone at the Fox News Channel is very favorably disposed toward the sitting president (as is their perfect right). This helps explain the sifting of information seen in Hurt's brief report.
In his statement, Hurt reported that Mueller had died—and he reported what one former president had said. But as DiPaolo noted, Hurt didn't report what the current sitting president—the person who's actually president now—had said!
Even by Sunday morning, that "bonkers" statement by the sitting president had become the subject of a great deal of critical comment.
Indeed, it was just as DiPaolo reported. Early Saturday afternoon, in one of his endless Truth Social posts, this is what he had said:
Truth Details
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP
By most peoples' reckoning, there he had gone once again! Unless you were watching Fox & Friends Weekend, where the unusual statement was sifted out—went completely unmentioned in Charlie Hurt's brief report.
Viewers were told what former president George W. Bush had said, but those same viewers weren't told what President Trump had said. His highly unusual statement was lovingly disappeared—was sifted, was edited out.
We're heavily working the term "sifted" today. We'll be using that term all this week. It refers to the highly selective way citizens are exposed to information and opinion under current arrangements, in which Silo Red and Silo Blue are the sources of large volumes of our journalism—of our public discourse.
Some news reports come from Silo Blue. Some come from Silo Red—and very rarely shall the twain meet. In this instance, the Fox News Channel had chosen to disappear the latest thing the sitting president had said.
In fairness, selective "sifting" of information works in various ways. The New York Times has also been inclined to disappear the sitting president's strangest remarks, though the paper didn't do so in this particular case.
We'll document that this afternoon. For now, we'll stop with this:
The president's "bonkers" comment about Robert Mueller was soon joined by another Truth Social post. In our view, this later post by the sitting president was even more "jaw-dropping:"

ReplyDelete"U.S. President Donald Trump has extended his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying the U.S. will hold off on power plant strikes for five days. Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social site hours ahead of a deadline. He added that the U.S. and Iran have had “very good and productive conversations” that could yield “a complete and total resolution” in the war."
"Two Iranian semiofficial news agencies close to the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard claimed that there had been no negotiations — direct or indirect — with Washington as described by Trump. The Fars and Tasnim news agencies instead portrayed the American president as backing down due to Iran’s threats."
It’s pitiful that we consider the murderous religious fanatics in Iran more credible than the murderous President of the US.
DeleteTroll.
DeleteMeet my remora.
DeleteOrange Mussolini lies to my face every time I see him address the country.
DeleteDoesn't a remora cling to a bigger fish? You are hardly a big fish around here, given that you say nothing worth reading. So, it appears you are the remora, waiting to shit on what others say here.
DeleteLike man how is the totally decimated Iranian military dictating the terms of their surrender man???
DeleteAnd also too man, how many insider stock options were placed before the fat old yam started todays yammering?
Delete10:56 - You’re going with “I know you are, but what am I?” Really?
Delete10:59 - Yes! Playing the markets now is a fool’s game if you’re not an insider.
DeletePlus — “fat old yam” is classic!
DeleteFuck off troll.
DeleteIt is fine if Somerby wants to describe the way Fox omits stories unfavorable to the president and a right wing perspective, but when he generalizes that behavior to the left, without any examples, he is being a propagandist himself.
ReplyDeleteWe on the left heard Obama's statement about Mueller's death, but we also heard what George W. Bush said and what Trump said. We even heard that Biden made no immediate statement. How is that the same as Fox's distorted coverage?
Saying something ugly on the death of a political opponent is not a symptom of mental illness. It is baiting the left, owning the libs. The right doesn't care when Trump does this kind of thing -- they consider it speaking for them.
ReplyDeleteOnly the right says ugly things at a political opponents death? Are you serious? An enormous number of leftists, IIRC in the hundreds of thousands, publicly said horrible things against Charlie Kirk after he was assassinated.
Deletefuck you, dickface, you compare anons with the president of the US? you are so depraved
DeleteDiC - Name a prominent Dem - a Senator, say - who said something derogatory at Kirk’s death.
DeleteDG, stop pretending you aren't a troll and just go away.
DeleteStrangely, I feel honored to have my own personal remora feeding off my egesta.
DeleteFuck off.
DeleteA foul-mouthed remora.
DeleteDG is good with me and I troll the trolls around this once mostly fine now mostly a dump comment section.
DeleteShould a man remain president and be allowed to make big decisions if he can't speak English good? Trump ranted about the SAVE America Act, ending by with the phrase "...and No Transgender MUTILIZATION of our precious children."
ReplyDeleteThe word is mutilation. There is no such word as mutilization. He makes a joke of himself every time he speaks (and especially when he writes).
One wonders what he wants to see happen to our semi-precious and non-precious children.
But we have Somerby today, bravely saving the country from Fox News while turning a blind eye to anything else going on. How long does it take the average normal person to recognize what Fox is and change the channel? About 10 seconds. Shorter, if Gutfeld is on screen. Even without Somerby's warnings.
Agreed. Somerby's target blog audience is center left. Who among us watches Fox? We only take quick peeks to see what the fucking weirdos are up to.
DeleteAnd that’s why we miss big issues like Biden’s decline and the immigration surge. We Blues were going Trump, Trump, Trump Jail! while Red media were hyping the issues that would decide the last election.
DeleteNo one missed Biden's so-called decline. What a liar you are! Fucking troll.
DeleteI was here in real time, well before the debate, when Somerby was warning that Biden would not be able to wage an effective election campaign, and the usual suspects here were excoriating him as a paid Russian asset promoting Red propaganda.
DeleteI, too, read Somerby repeating the NY Times Right-wing rat-fucking claims about Biden.
DeleteSomerby even doubled-down after the Presidential debate by omitting Trump's claims that the nation has an "epidemic of post-birth abortions".
On the other hand, I won't accuse Somerby of being a Right-winger, until he uses the word "nigger" in public.
Racist comment by a cowardly anonymouse. Surely s/he knows that it's racist to even use that word.
DeleteIf Somerby was calling Biden too old before his bad debate, that shows he was pushing the right wing line because his handler told him to.
DeleteDG, you are a piece of shit troll. Go away.
I love the logic:
Delete1. Somerby warned us that Biden couldn't wage an effective campaign.
2. Somerby was right -- Biden proved unable to wage an effective campaign.
3. That proves Somerby was a paid Russian asset promoting right-wing views.
Oh, and
Delete4. Fuck off, troll!
2. Somerby was not right because Biden didn't get the chance to finish his campaign. Arguably, it was effective up to the point where he was pressured to step aside for Harris. So, there is no proof of this as the troll DG claims.
DeleteIf Somerby began his anti-Biden campaign before the bad debate, that does prove he is someone's agent. Part of the proof is that he claims to be liberal but was repeating right wing talking points and spreading right wing propaganda about Biden's border policies (i.e., lies). Whether the money came from Russia laundered through some other group (as with RT and Tenet Media) or whether it comes from a billionaire funding Trump's favorite causes (the way Musk, Thiel and so many corporations and other billionaires are doing), is not known. That Somerby is not what he claims to be, is obvious.
Support by the various right wing trolls here is also proof that Somerby is working for the right while claiming to be a liberal.
DG is a troll. Look what he does here everyday, without fail, and also without expressing any opinion that isn't an attack on another commenter (liberals) or advancing right wing talking points directly.
Fuck off DG.
Really? The purpose of a campaign is to win an election. Biden not only lost, he got kicked off the ticket three months before the election was even held. This is a fail of epic proportions. But -- pretend otherwise if you want, and call me names if you find that soothing.
DeleteUm, DG, an election is where the voters get to decide, not the donors and party elites.
Delete"Biden not only lost..."
DeleteUh-huh.
If you wanted Somerby to mention Trump's cognitive decline while he was burying Biden, you could have started your own blog.
DeleteAny time, DG.
So we agree that Dem leaders and donors abandoned Biden. What do you think their motive for abandoning Biden was? I think it was because they were scared to death that Biden at the top of the ticket would lead to a Republican landslide up and down the ballot.
DeleteDo you disagree that that was their motive? If so, what do you think their mtoive was?
"Racist comment by a cowardly anonymouse." Whitey please stop being so niggardly. As an old upwardly mobile white guy living in rural America I know exactly how fuckers like you speak when they are not around those people. Fuck off you dumb Nazi creep.
DeleteTroll is not a name, it is an occupation, a paid job.
DeleteOur nation's social media has been infested by foreign and foreign-paid operatives who do not have our nation's interests at heart. DG is one of them.
Mueller showed that Trump was aided by Russia back in 2015, when he first ran for office. He provided a roadmap for impeaching, removing and prosecuting Trump, which our elected officials declined to follow. That doesn't change the facts of that election. Emboldened by the lack of accountability, Trump attempted the same thing in 2020 and 2024. He led a violent attempt to overthrow the 2020 election that again was not prosecuted against Trump and his cronies, but only the right wing crowd he recruited, who were subsequently pardoned. Then, with Russia's ongoing help and the massive financial support of Elon Musk and various other billionaires and corporations, Trump was elected again 2024. We now see his acts as a lame duck, knowing that there can be no restraint or reprisals against his attempts to institute an authoritarian government to openly collude with Putin and attack Israel's enemies while Democrats are targeted in attempts to suppress all dissent.
This is where we are now. DG, David in Cal, Cecelia, AC/MA and unnamed trolls here are part of that right wing activity. They are the means for conceling right wing activity to subvert our democratic processes. We do not have to pretend they are actual commenters when their goals are so obvious and their lack of interest in normal discussion transparent.
Somerby has the right to pretend to be whatever he wants. He has no interest in reaction to his essays because he doesn't read his comments. Similarly, he does not moderate the trolls here. We are still a free country and they can say what they want too. But we don't have to believe them and we don't have to accept their lies about themselves at face value. Ignoring them will not make them go away, because they are being reinforced by their pay and handlers.
These are ugly people doing an ugly job. They may live in Eastern European countries where there is no freedom of speech or assembly. That is their misfortune. But they are not lefties, not expressing their own views, they are paid propagandists.
That's right. When you can't respond, distract by name-calling. Let's get back to the question at hand: Why do you think Dem leaders and donors abandoned Biden?
DeleteFunny you should mention it.
DeletePresident Harris and I were just talking about how well the Dem leaders and donors plan worked.
It was a genius plan.
DeleteAnd it would have worked, too, if not for the meddling voters.
Even the liberal New York Times and Bob Somerby thought Biden wasn't up to the task.
DeleteDid you see what i did there?
DG pretends to ask about the motive for removing Biden, when I told him yesterday why the billionaires were upset with Biden. First, there were three groups colluding to remove Biden: (1) right wingers who preferred Trump, (2) Russia and its oligarchs and Putin, (3) billionaires and corporations of either party. The latter were upset because Biden appeared likely to win again (due to his excellent first term) and he had already been pro-labor and enacted liberal wish-list items abhorred by corporations, including environmental and climate change measures, and fiscal controls. They were concerned about Biden's campaign pledge to increase taxation on corporations to 38% (Harris reduced that when she ran). Biden stepped aside because he realized that without donors he could not run a campaign at all, and his donors pulled their support. This is where the right and the left intersect -- the wealthy put their own self-interest ahead of partisan politics.
DeleteTrump's ongoing collusion with Russia is treason. Biden was coerced to step aside. No one actually considered Biden to be unable to function. Tapper (a right winger) wrote a book where he quoted George Clooney as saying that Biden's snubbing of his mother constituted dementia. He may have snubbed her because he was busy, or maybe she was among the donors refusing to fund his reelection. I don't travel in those circles and have no idea. But Biden continues to show that he is cognitively competent while Trump shows rapid deterioration. That anyone is still arguing Biden couldn't function is ludicrous in that context, and shows your motives here DG.
So, fuck off.
In Somerby's defense, he might not have known Biden had already beaten Trump in a Presidential race, because they didn't mention that on "Gutfeld!".
Delete"Biden appeared likely to win again"
DeleteThis is the lynchpin of your argument, but it is not grounded in reality, at least if we look at what Nate Silver and the prediction markets were saying.
BTW, when you are forced to explain things through complicated conspiracy theories about right-wingers colluding with Putin and his oligarchs, who in turn are colluding with billionaires and corporations, you maybe should take a step back and consider whether you might be a crackpot.
DeleteJust because DG begs for an explanation, gets it, and then dismisses it without countering anything explained, doesn't mean he's a troll.
DeleteDogface George,
DeleteIf it's what you, say I love it.
"The latter were upset because Biden appeared likely to win again"
DeleteThe counter, in case you missed it, is that this essential piece of the theory is just dead wrong. By any objective measure, Biden was NOT likely to win. Which, in my view, is what motivated Dem leaders and donors to look for an alternative.
But here's my favorite sentence of this whole thread:
Delete"Arguably, [Biden's campaign] was effective up to the point where he was pressured to step aside for Harris."
Similarly, the plane ride was smooth up to the point where the plane crashed into the mountain and exploded.
Biden never had the chance to face the voters in the general election, DG. That is the point. Your analogy is not apt.
DeleteAsshole, he was no longer campaigning after that. That’s a plane being taken out of service, not exploding.
DeleteBiden won his primaries to become the nominee.
Delete"Biden never had the chance to face the voters in the general election, DG."
DeleteFalse. He had the chance; he chose to voluntarily withdrew from the race instead. The charred remains of the plane were "taken out of service."
"he chose to voluntarily withdrew from the race instead."
DeleteThe poor NY Times, wasting those thousands of inches of news space last year on Biden's mental health, while all the time Biden was of sound judgement to make his own decisions voluntarily.
Who knew?
This is why propaganda is bad.
DeleteA candidate cannot run without donors. Biden chose not to take money from Russia or billionaires violating FEC laws, as Trump did.
Delete"WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Confirming the suspicions of many in the international community, on Monday Donald J. Trump revealed that intelligence played “no role” in his decision to go to war with Iran.
ReplyDelete“People keep asking me about intelligence,” he told reporters on Air Force One. “I made this call with no intelligence whatsoever.”
“Quite frankly, every decision I’ve ever made in my life I’ve made without intelligence,” he boasted. “Intelligence is for losers.”
Trump added that “I don’t trust people who have intelligence, which is why I love Pete."
Why post this?
DeleteBecause some people find it funny.
DeleteTrump wasn't the only one gloating over Mueller's death. There were others on the right doing it too, Tiedrich says:
ReplyDelete"here’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to explain that it was totes acceptable for Dear Leader to gloat over the passing of Robert Mueller, because Mueller was very very very very very very very mean to him.
Meet the Press host Kristen Welker: “do you think it’s appropriate for the president of the United States to celebrate the death of an American citizen, someone who’s a Bronze Star, Purple Heart recipient who served in Vietnam?”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and to his family.”
Welker: “is it appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of any American citizen?”
Bessent: “I think given what has been done to President Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he’s been through.”
Welkler: “so you don’t think there’s anything wrong with a post saying, ‘good. Robert Mueller's dead’?”
Bessent: “we should all have a little empathy for what has been done to him and his family.”
I’m sorry, but excuse me?
...wait, we’re supposed to feed bad for the criming criminal who got caught criming and then literally got away with it?
oh, boo fucking hoo."
I hope Bessent spends that loot he's collecting well.
DeleteCourtesy of an X user named Jonathan Norris:
ReplyDelete"the biggest difference between the Iran war and the Vietnam war is that Trump knew how to get himself out of the Vietnam war."
Thanks, put a smile on my face! Then made me sick to my stomach
DeleteHector - That joke would have funnier a day ago before Trump announced the very promising negotiations. The "Iran War quagmire" may turn out to be yet another thing that never happened, that Trump never did, but which Trump was blamed for.
DeleteAnd also British PM Keir Starmer is no Winston Churchill, says our batshit insane Orange Mussolini.
DeleteToo late to pretend Trump never bombed Iran, David, those girls are dead.
DeleteAn awful lot of Brits agree with Trump. Just one in six Britons (18%) have a favourable opinion of Keir Starmer, unchanged since last month, however a full three quarters (75%) now see the prime minister unfavourably, up three points since December and the highest figure for Starmer to date.
DeleteDavid obviously doesn't care about dead girls, bombed because Hegseth is an incompetent, any more than Trump does.
DeleteTrump is no FDR.
DeleteThe media in Britain is worse than the media we have here, but we are getting close. Pretty soon the Ellison dynasty will own it all and the first Amendment will be nothing but a faint memory.
Delete"before Trump announced the very promising negotiations."
DeleteAre these the very promising negotiations that Iran denies are taking place? If there were in fact very promising negotiations taking place, why would Iran deny that fact? Wouldn't their public contradiction of Trump's assertion put a damper on the very promising negotations?
And finally: do you ever get tired of being played?
David, you are so fucking deluded. Just irresponsible stupidity. Please do detail the breaking developments in Trump's surrender to Iran. Is they more better than the Trump/Pompeo surrender to the Taliban?
DeleteThey are simply stealing our money.
Delete"The Trump administration will pay the French energy giant TotalEnergies nearly $1 billion to abandon its plans to build wind farms off the East Coast, the Interior Department said on Monday at an energy conference in Houston.
"...The deal is an extraordinary transfer of taxpayer dollars to a foreign company for the purposes of boosting the production of fossil fuels, a main driver of climate change, while throttling offshore wind power. It comes as the war in the Middle East has shocked global oil markets, prompting concerns about energy supplies."
WTF is wrong with these criminal traitorous money grubbing goons?
3:28, did Congress* (hehe) approve this or did King Chickenshit just do it, because fuck you, what are you going to do about it?

"now let’s turn the Stupid Dial all the way to eleven. do you know where Donny got the fuckbrained idea to put ICE goons in airports? from watching Fox News — because of course he did." Tiedrich
ReplyDeleteSomerby could remind us all that Trump is the only President to get his policy ideas from watching a partisan TV show. That is the danger of Fox News, not what it omits about its own president's dementia (not mental illness, Alzheimer's disease, a possibility Somerby never ever mentions, although some on the left are suggesting it is advanced neurosyphillis afflicting Trump).
Perhaps 10:54 has never flown. TSA agents don't check people's citizenship. All they do is look at your ID, look at your face, and OK the boarding pass.
DeleteIt's no wonder David in Cal's grandkids hate him.
DeleteDiC, are you saying that ICE agents are currently being deployed to airports to check people’s citizenship?
Delete@12:29 No
DeleteThen why did you bring up citizenship?
DeleteSome top Dems are making the ridiculous claim that the ICE agents who pitch in to help the TSA will behave the way they do when dealing with criminal aliens. e.g., Hakeem Jeffries said, "The last thing that the American people need are for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially to brutalize or, in some instances, kill them."
DeleteDemocrat Senator Richard Blumenthal on Sunday said ICE agents will shoot and kill families at airports.
DeleteOf course they will. If they will do it on the streets in broad daylight, without any reason, why wouldn't they do it in a crowded airport?
DeleteI think it is also likely they may release tear gas in an airport where families are waiting to go through security. That will clear the lines out quickly, but people will miss their flights and children and people with respiratory problems such as asthma or COPD may die or need hospitalization, also missing their flights.
No doubt Blumenthal said this due to the lack of training to perform TSA duties. ICE agents will fall back on their weapons and someone will get shot. If all they've done to prepare is watch the movie Carry-On, bad things will happen.
“ICE agents who pitch in to help the TSA will behave the way they do when dealing with criminal aliens.”
DeleteNeither Renee Good nor Alex Pretti were criminal aliens.
People are already stressed at airports. That is why several airports have people with therapy dogs walking around to help distressed individuals relax. Putting combustible situations (such as having a flight cancelled or delayed when you really need to be going) together with untrained guys selected because they are bullies unsure of their manhood, is asking for trouble. ICE has less self-control than police and no training in how to defuse conflict, such as when a desperate person is begging to be put on a full flight, and adding long lines to that everyday tension is a very bad idea.
DeleteICE hires idiots, so they may even shoot airline personnel or people in wheelchairs, perhaps because they think they are aiming their carts at them and they've never been taught to step aside.
Not only will the ICE agents kill American citizens, they will then go on to lie about it, because fuck you, what are you going to do about it.
DeleteWhy would a criminal alien go to an airport?
DeleteOrange Mussolini does not want anyone messing around with his private army of gestapo attack dogs such as: Democrats have demanded strict reforms to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to avoid shutdowns, including banning masks for agents, requiring body cameras, demanding judicial warrants for raids, and protecting "sanctuary state".
DeleteLittle Donny Chickenshit wants his SS troops wearing masks and violating the Constitution by avoiding judicial warrants.
So here we are, Amerika.
Video already out with two Ice goons illegally taking a brown woman from her family. On day one. Refused to show their badge numbers because they really truly are not Nazi brownshirts, honest.
DeleteChrist Almighty, that’s horrible
Delete"Not only will the ICE agents kill American citizens, they will then go on" without criminal charges, "because fuck you, what are you going to do about it."
DeleteHi world!, come watch the World Cup in the USA!, just hope our Nazi airport Security agents don't ruin your life forever.
DeleteI found this comment eye-opening
ReplyDeleteFor shits and giggles, I decided to see just how hard it would be to replace my birth certificate, Social Security card, AND my marriage license, since Democrats think women are too stupid to figure it out.
Here's how it went:
1. Birth certificate: Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day - total cost, $14.
2. SS Card: Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I 'won't likely be asked for it.' I went ahead and got it - took five business days to arrive - total cost, $0.
3. Marriage License: Went to the 'vital docs' site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days - total cost, $5.
It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them. Note: if I had lived where I was born or married, it would have been a day.
So she would have to pay in order to cast a vote, if the save act were to pass. And because she is a married woman, she had to get more non-free documentation.
DeleteAll to solve a problem that doesn’t exist, namely, non citizens voting.
And no one said women were “too stupid” to do this.
David is all in on voter suppression. Don’t say that a problem doesn’t exist, except it is not the problem they claim.
DeleteWhy did David get a SS card? It doesn't prove citizenship and isn't any form of ID.
DeleteWhat if a woman was previously married, then divorced (keeping her married name), then remarried later on? Her current marriage license would not have the same name on it as her birth certificate. Does she need to also show her divorce judgment from the courts? How hard is that to obtain? What if it was a horrible memory and she doesn't know the exact date or court when she got divorced, or she used an attorney that subsequently died, so it is very hard to get that record? What if she is a common law wife who uses her husband's name (so she won't have to explain all the time)? Is there some declaration she needs to get from a records department? Her driver's license won't match her birth certificate and a King Sooper card or even a college diploma won't prove her citizenship.
It is admirable if David has stayed married to the same woman for 50+ years, but that isn't what most people's lives are like. They are messier. What happens to a widow whose husband died 10 years ago, and she has the death certificate, but isn't married? What does she have to do?
Men don't change their names unless they are in witness protection or have some reason, but say David was living under a protective or assumed name. What would he have to reveal in order to explain why his govt-issued passport doesn't match his birth certificate? That means no secret agents or FBI operatives in deep cover would be able to cast their votes. Or what if he just wanted to present himself as non-Jewish, so he Anglicized his birth name to make it easier to spell? He will have the same problem as some women, but more difficulty explaining the change to govt snoopers at the polls.
1:09, it wasn't dickhead who did all that, he was just here vomiting all over the comments as usual.
DeleteIt's easy for David to get the correct documentation to vote, so it's easy for everyone.
DeleteThat's just science.
Also too, A lot of adopted folks will be in a bind to get blessed.
DeleteAI Overview
DeleteNo, a marriage license or certificate does not prove U.S. citizenship. It only verifies that a legal union was performed, not the immigration status of either spouse. Marriage to a U.S. citizen does not grant automatic citizenship, although it can provide a faster, three-year pathway to naturalization.
The marriage license may be needed to confirm a woman’s identity when she has taken her husband’s last name.
DeleteSo, why not a driver’s license then?
DeleteRepublicans are especially good at solving problems that never existed.
